There seems to be a very important aspect that most of us here are forgetting. Coh2 has commanders not just for fun, but for reacting to your opponents choices. A b4 can be countered by offmap. "But than I dont have a tiger!!!" Well, your opponent has no heavy either, so enjoy this non-heavy game. Oh btw you have an elephant.
A b4 is strong, agreed, but it might be thé counter against all the heaviest armor in the game.
Let's say we nerf the poor thing's damage, instead of really hurting a KT or JT, it's just going to do a decent amount of damage, absolutely not really dangerous. That doesnt make sense, because the soviets need to counter the more heavy armor with something. Also, forget about heavy tanks, you only have the Kv-1, which is 0 against axis armor.
Su85 ? Please.
If you are going to be aggressive and put your forward bases as okw far ahead? Well they might get destroyed, but that's a part of the game.
Going to get your tanks repaired at the repairstation? Well captain obvious, expect a b4 strike. Hear the 'boom'? Get your tanks moving.
Cant counter it? You didnt go for offmap? Well thats on you.
Sneak in a stuka and kill the crew. Too much effort? Looks like it.
I completely agree about some lazy attitudes here. It requires absolutely nothing to kill that thing. Except a tiny bit of brains.

because it's an armored halftrack, and not some skinny truck as the Russian equivalent !
Then why we can 1-shot this??? Is it ARMORED???
|
US, I hate to walk back to base to pick up guns or manual heal from ambulance everytime. |
ZiS-3 with AT con together will scare them of... but they still go bother you someplace else, better use T-70 or other tank. |
built some sand bag if you on defend or have time, it does help in early game. |
The worst thing will happen if they keep spam rifle grenade too, especially when vet. so be careful! |
B-4 is ways better but I like ML-20 more.
I have game when my teammate B-4 near my ML-20 got vet-3 with many Inf and armor kills but my ML-20 just got 6 kills from the entire match. at least it good for shooting OKW trucks... |
If just a lone ober sqaud or just support by 1 volks I just use Shock to thrown smoke and get near them, for a better result thrown your regular grenade too.
*If they have 2 ober together and you have 1 shock this might not work.
**If you opponent is good when you thrown smoke he might thrown his grenade into your smoke or worse , a gas grenade. so be careful! |
for me, in the distant past.
- Anti Infantry
- Terror
just drop it recently due con nerf or other reason.
- Advance Warfare
- Armored Assault
recently use
- Lend Lease
A must have
- Shock Motor, or Shock Rifle |
I disagree about some parts you wrote about the ISU. Lowering its damage versus tanks is going to hurt the SOviet AT a lot. SOviets already lack AT to deal with heavier German tanks. ISU's AT abilities is really the last hope to fight heavies such as KT and Jagdtiger. It is a very delicate issue so I am just pointing out that SOviets lack hard AT. Nerfing ISU is going to destroy the 4v4 game mode even further.
I like your Jagdtiger changes. I think they are alright. Personally, I would like to see its ability to shoot through objects removed. It would prevent players form just camping behind a building and shooting through it without any counterplay.
Personally, I would cut the ISU range down to 60 and buff its AT. The ISU would still be powerful but would have to enter into harms way to do damage. I would also remove the focus sight ability.
ISU and Jagdtiger are very difficult to balance. I would love Relic to keep these units as authentic as possible; The ISU is a very powerful assault gun and the Jagdtiger is a well-armed and heavily armored tank destroyer. These units should be powerful but come with weaknesses.
+1 to this. for ISU just made it less accuracy against infantry. It's fine as it is Vs Axis heavies.
