If you click on search site members, and you filter by staff only, I noticed that the mappers get the title of artists. I was very suprised to see Monolithic Bacon as Lead artist
Tengen and Monolithic got into a brawl last night, didn't you know? The loser had to give his postion over to the winner.
You can't just let go almost dead King Tiger or Tiger Ace and suff like that because when it backs it can be GG for you. You made great ambush but somehow KT escaped with 1/10hp. Next time OKW player won't let you for that. That's the problem. Lack of "chasing" units.
Hey i'm trying to be serious for this! Do you want to joke?
I accept!
The Italian Faction:
- can't lose, they join who is winning
- they can survive simply by playing the mandolino, cooking pizza and singing
- they always fight with sunglasses, useless but cool
- they don't have tanks nor weapons
I ain't joking.
Still when you think about it, the P47 would make short work of the SPGs, so strong infantry will be needed to help them survive.
Despite jokes and other, it won't be so different from the USF, here they say they have tanks similar to T-70, true, but Italy has SPGs stronger than many allied tanks.
To balance their lack of heavy tanks they will have more artillery and SPGs
SPG army sounds good to me. It would be like fighting an army of StuG. Definitely not easy with all the armour piercing capability there.
I'm OK for adding the Commonwealth forces.
For Italy i say this:
1) They have infantry forces
2) They have vehicles and light tanks
3) they have medium tanks and many SPGs
4) They don't have HEAVY TANKS
But what faction doesn't have heavy tanks? The USF at the moment.
This "future" italian faction must be entirely italian, at least for the troops available from the buildings. I made a word page with the ideas for the italian faction.
This italian faction will focus more on rapidity and SPGs, the only tank that italians called "Heavy" (Pesante) weighed only 26 tons (P26/40) they produces only 100 of them and some of them weren't assembled, the heaviest tank that italy designed weighed 30 tons but was only a prototype.
However, i think that italy could join the battle against the other factions.
This is only my opinion.
I'm sure they can.
Omitting balance problems, i don't see why it won't suit good, at least against the british forces, the allied faction which it should be for this possible faction pack.
PS: i remember that Relic said that numbers built doesn't matter, so Italy could have that P26/40 similar to Panzer IV and T-34.
For the SPGs Italy had tanks armed with 75mm, 90mm and 105mm.
Cheap and spammable land mines would help too I believe.
I don't like them for all the reasons listed here, and that Target Weak Point doesn't track the targeted vehicle. If it's a game against someone spamming shock troops then I get them so that don't just lose my Paks again and again. I always wish they were more like the Stugs from COH1, however
That said...
100% cast of the year. 10/10 would watch again before playing CoH2.
Back on topic, I don't touch StuGs. I don't even use tanks much. I much prefer using paks and panzergrenadiere for my anti tank. I only get Panzer IV when I've got a serious advantage early game. This is especially true against USF where 2 shots from the M36 kills the StuG.
This is why I keep insisting we cannot just ditch historical accuracy totally. Like Wombat said, I would love to see similiar early game and different style of armoured play for different faction.
