I was playing a 2v2 match yesterday, where we managed to call in several Tigers.

They are very strong... but something's off.

I remember back in the beginning days of vCoH a single Tiger or Pershing literally had you shuffling and repositioning your forces, because these tanks packed a real punch. Up front, you had to outnumber them at least 3 or 4 to one in a frontal fight, and even then.

Right now, if I was able to call in a tiger, either my opponent isn't calling ANYTHING, because he lost, or the game is a team battle stalemate where nothing but heavy tanks will make a difference.

The ISU-52 kills a Tiger, in most scenarios. Not because its stronger, but because its stun mechanic is akin to the Brummbar I think (1 every three to stun) and it has a massive range. If there's any measure of enemy infantry in the field, it will also gain vet fast, and then you have yourself a dedicated AI tank duking it out with your supposed end gamer.

Like I said: they are statistically strong, but something feels off. They require a huge fuel sacrifice to the Tank Gods to bring into the game, but they become tactically worthless at that point, because you are either already spearheading through the enemy, or at a stalemate.

ummm disagree?

had a stolen p4, 2 t-34's, and 2 zis all hitting one tiger (just sitting there, he wasnt microing it at all). frontal and side and even some rear shots as he moved it back.

took about 4 minutes to die and would have killed everything if i hadn't rammed it about 2.5 minutes in. still killed both zis and then first shot on a t-34 took it to 60% health...ramming time.

so yeah tiger is badass but i agree that the cost of heavy tanks is off right now.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
