Profile of Lümmel

You think Relic would've released more unit profiles by now since at the beginning they seem to have revealed 2 units every two days, but that's not longer the case. I suppose they're in the middle of drastically changing some units, or marketing isn't their strongest suite. Only 6 more days left before the expansion releases so i'm hoping Relic can pull it off so I can get back into competitive CoH.


On a side notte, does anyone notice that Relic is slowly moving away from political correctness? In the first CoH, we all knew(I hope so anyways) the Panzer Elite was the Waffen SS but they didn't have any insignia or antything that can relate them to the Waffen SS except for the uniform trousers and the Kettengrad unit model. For the WFA expansion, you can clearly see at least the Obersoldaten having Waffen SS ranks except for the lightning bolts on the left collar(From your POV) so i'm hoping by the end of the year, we'll be able to have actual waffen SS insignias in the game without having to conform to political correctness.

Essentially just because the Germans have to suffer from mass sensorship(Can any German confirm if the actual Waffen SS ranks are banned in Germany?) doesn't mean the rest of us have to. It's good to see Relic actually acknowledging the Waffen SS contributions to WW2 though(In terms of elite infantry) since quite a few combat divisions of the Waffen SS actually did play a major part in WW2 on the Western Front.

I'd argue the Panther under-performs a bit even then, in a direct comparison.

T-34/85:
400 Manpower
140 Fuel
800 Health
160 Armour Front
080 Armour Rear


Panther:
490 Manpower
175 Fuel
800 Health
270 Armour Front
110 Armour Rear


Guns: While the Panther does have overall better Machine Guns, the main gun is extremely unlikely to harm Infantry. The T-34/85's gun is much more accurate against Infantry and has a much larger AOE.

85mm Tank Gun
160/140/120 Penetration
05 Scatter (favorable)
40 Range

75mm Tank Gun
240/???/??? Penetration
10 Scatter (awful)
50 Range


T-34/85 Left, Panther Right, Grenadier for Scale:


Larger circle is total AOE, smaller circle is one-hit kill AOE. This picture does not show accuracy, which is much less on the Panther.
