222 deserves a buff

Let's give this a more defined role. At the moment it's literal garbage, even vs m20 due to crew disembark with zookas it fails to counter it. AEC 2 shots it. It even struggles to kill infantry before being pushed away by small arms. The only thing this is good for is M3/Jeep hunting, which is pathetic for a t2 unit.

I think this should be buffed considerably along with a price increase to 50 or so fuel, make it on par with AEC/Stuart to give Ost a reliable light vehicle.

I was about to have a fit, but at least it came with a suggestion to both up the fuel cost as well as simply make it better.

50 fuel for something on par with the Stuart or AEC would be a little too cheap, though. And more worryingly -

The 222 is a major early game counter for Ost to take on WCs, Bren Carriers and M3s. Making it cost a whole lot more would quite possibly hamstring the Ost against these light vehicles, which the 222's gradual tweaks and redesigns were specifically designed to let it handle.

Turning the 222 into a Luchs would probably make it worse. If you want 60 FU of light vehicles, build two of them or build a 222 and a 251.

Funny thing, build two of them and they can actually take on an AEC or a Stuart together. Same performance and price that the OP suggests.

No need to buff the 222 on its own, that would be bad, as it is Ostheer's first response to Allied very light vehicles harassment (UC/M3/WC51) and needs to come on the field as soon as possible.

I have never thought about building 2 of them. Such a waste of fuel.

You know there is a feature to show videos nicely on a site so it doesn't look like a bad offside link ?




To topic: So you've made a proof by made up YouTube video. Congratulations :)

Words and numbers don't seem to reach you, so I'm trying moving pictures.

You've probably never heard of 444 strat, which is very reliable dual 222, 2 of them are enough to kill AEC, but something tells me you've got no micro to actually accomplish that.

A unit can't be good AT, AI and AA all at the same time, so its moderate at all of them.
Its really all you can get for measly 30 fuel.

3 of them cost 90 fuel. T34 cost 80 fuel.

Both are AI/AT generalist.

666 cost more than 34. Yet that fucker wipes the floor with all of them.

Twenty M3 Scout Cars cost 3800 MP 300 FU! But a single P4 (only 125 FU!) defeats all of them!

You don't really seem to get armour. Like, as a concept.

It's a fucking scoutcar. What would you expect it to do ? Counter tanks ?

Oh come on, you can do better

To be frank, 222 is a light tank, not scoutcar because it has a light tank crush, it's entity is bigger than T70 and it's main gun isn't coaxial hmg but a normal cannot that can, unreliably but still, penetrate (even medium) armor.



Once against you're just making things together so it suits you without getting the concept at all.

222 isn't a scout car. Deal with it

The name doesn't mean anything.

To be frank, PzKfW stands for PanzerKampfWagen which roughly translates into Armoured Battle Vehicle.

So, according to your navigation logic, PzKfW V Panther is but a 5th version of a Kubelwagen with armor skirts sent into battle

Ostheer needs 222 to come out cheap and early and it shouldn't be buffed. If you need something to take out an AEC you get 2-3 of them. And I did not expect my video to be linked here lol

27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM

13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake.
13 Mar 2025, 19:57 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.

12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM
theekvn: you rather go 76 to unity Whizbang 2.0 or go home.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: also US tier 4 is 145f and Sherman pen 140 nerf is too much.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: Whizbang lock behind CP, meanwhile stuka is techtree progress
12 Mar 2025, 03:51 AM
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?
06 Mar 2025, 12:13 PM
OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked! :P
06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
Willy Pete: Cool you wanna lose your stock lategame arty too then?
06 Mar 2025, 03:20 AM
Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
