Thread: M8A1 Scott Counter21 Sep 2018, 22:16 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2018, 21:13 PMShadowLinkX37 Just about as relevent as you thinking my responses are out of nowhere when you think pschrecks counter scotts Go back to playing USF if you're not going to be helpful Pshreck counter Scott if you keep moving until you fire. But they are better to be used vs the Jackson who will need to backward and then give you the opportunity to reach the Scott. For sure I'll go back playing USF, don't worry about that. The problem here is that you make it personal, like I shouldn't be giving advise and strategies tips that don't fit your vision of the game. I mean, telling me L2P, seriously is this your last argument? I have to learn to play because I explain how to counter a specific strat and you don't like it thar way? What have you explained here, nothing, your opinion is there is no counter cuz Jackson. You are the one putting this unit on a level it doesn't belong like if 2 Pz4 couldn't counter it... Because there are snares like if the Ostheer player didn't had his own snare, own pak, own Stug and HMg42, long range Grenadier you can simply A-move late game so you're always at good range etc... to support a global assault. Each faction has its pro and cons and I don't see the Ostheer faction being left behind at the moment. It's quite the opposite today. So respect each faction, respect the player and give advices so each one can forge his own strategy, there is no perfect solution and thanks for that, how boring it would be if you could just dive with your panther and don't care about snare and tank destroyers like in the old time. But maybe that's what you want with you constant focus on the Jackson, like many Axis Fanboy on the forum who are so imaginative when it comes to think a redesign for the Jackson on something that could just stand vs mediums or just stand vs super heavies but useless vs mediums.

Thread: Opel Blitz- why?21 Sep 2018, 20:58 PM Open blitz reflect more the eastern front situation than western one, at a moment where the Werhmarch had the upper hand (not for a long time in the game scenario but still). USF faction isn't based on western front either in fact but a specific time and location where they were struggling vs a German offensive. They didn't had their supply chain working well during the battle due to the long way to the sea and weather that wasn't really favorable. At the end, the USF won mostly thanks of their resilience and German lack of resources to sustain their offensive. In: COH2 Balance

I'm just gonna go ahead and say you don't know how counters works in this game. Yeah, sure. Go ahead and say whatever you want, it is not going to make it more true or relevant for the topic.

Thread: M8A1 Scott Counter21 Sep 2018, 18:56 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2018, 17:59 PMShadowLinkX37 1 jackson is completly enough to stop an armor push lol. You dive a jackson with a single panther or P4? I don't even know what to say vs that. Jackson shoots first because of range and has high mobility to reverse. Unless your opponet is braindead and just charges through snares and potential mines, or you're letting your jackson eat shots because you're inside his attack range that's a L2P issue there. You should have your second pz4 the moment the Jackson hit the field and if you decided to tech T4, just stale until you get what you want/need In: Ostheer Strategies

Thread: M8A1 Scott Counter21 Sep 2018, 17:54 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2018, 17:20 PMShadowLinkX37 This guy gets it ^ But as far as ""The problem is a lot of the USF roster is so strong it does that to other factions", the same argument can be made for every faction (minus UKF atm)." That is entirely untrue because when other factions have this done to them through certain units, they have certain heavier drawbacks than that of the jackson. For exmaple the StuG range is its drawback. The JP4s lack of turret is its drawback. There is no massive drawback to getting more jacksons since they can tackle any armor and are highly mobile. If the drawback of getting only armor pieces that can only engage other armor, we let USF enjoy the freedom of not suffering from those drawbacks because of popcap abuse. A fun and unique mechanic! I also said nothing about 2x scotts, others did. I can argue for only 1 scott and 1 jackson, which is still unsiegeable unless you have APCBC JT or something, or you pray your opponet screws up. One Jackson isn't going to stop an armor push on itself. What the point here, to say "he has a Jackson, game over!". Jackson drawback is everywhere else: T1 or T2 for early support but not both until backtech. No meashield, there is no brumbar or panther to sponge damage and use armor to deflect shots. No Pzshreck that barely never bounce, no Pzwerfer to insta wipe support weapon crew etc... Not to mention Oshteer Commander aren't there to fulfill holes in your roster but to give you additional punch for your strategy. I play enough USF to tell you 1 Jackson is nice to keep your enemy from walking over you but your opponent need to make serious mistakes to lose a piece of armor vs it. And yes, usually when the jackson hit the field mistakes are more often made but this has nothing to do with the unit. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: M8A1 Scott Counter21 Sep 2018, 06:58 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2018, 19:47 PMShadowLinkX37 My point was about the scott being difficult to counter. Not USF viability in 1v1. The problem isn't that Ostheer need "I build this, it counters your unit easily." The problem is a lot of the USF roster is so strong it does that to other factions. The biggest offender is probably the jackson and pershing. Scotts don't need "lucky shots". Use them like brumbars and bulldozers, attack ground and the shell goes where you want it, and the projectile is so fast it works very well. But uh, if your best arguement to kill a scott is to try and charge a 60 range mobile howitzer with pschrecks in 1v1 then I think you should probably concede on that... What you say doesn't make sense for this topic, What the value of "The problem is a lot of the USF roster is so strong it does that to other factions", the same argument can be made for every faction (minus UKF atm). Scott need a lot of investment to be fielded and protected, you are actually arguing that 2602+400 Manpower and 752+140 fuel is difficult to counter, yeah no shit Sherlock! Even more if we take the scenario of 2 jacksons covering 2 Scotts. But hey, that's also 34 Manpower or 48 in the second scenario, nothing to be seen here, 1/3 or 1/2 of the USF army is difficult to take out with a single Pzshreck or a panther or a Pz4, oooh that's so abnormal! hell, he may have mined as well! Let's not forget that on top of that he may have call…. a Pershing. To the OP, solutions have been given: play aggressively, do not cluster your army in one spot and use your tanks with proper support to push from different angles. Last but not least, Ostheer has a lot of good doctrines with different approach to support your strategy: Tiger, Elefant, Pack43, Scope, Smoke and the best of the best: Ju-87 In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: M8A1 Scott Counter20 Sep 2018, 19:40 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2018, 18:11 PMShadowLinkX37 You're more than welcome to disprove my post with an actual scenario or we can just go back to "USF bad, buff pls!" Fact already disprove your post, 60/40 victory ratio in favor of Ostheer on last GCS2. Scott are good indeed but they can be taken down by armor with a good push with combined forces. And 1 Jackson can't fight two tanks, remember 2 Scott means 1 tank less on USF army. And if the USF player overinvested on tank and Atgun to protect his Scott, use Pzshreck. Even if Scott are good they don't wipe squad like before and they aren't so good vs moving target. Now yes a lucky shot may force you to insta retreat a squad but that's a lucky shot, not the norme. That's all. Edit: I'm sorry if there isn't a unit I-wipe-Scott-for-breakfast on Ostheer roster so you can just say build that unit and you're fine. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch20 Sep 2018, 10:08 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2018, 09:54 AMDead Bear the lock down ability of scout car are dumb .. for map like hill 400 u are able to complete cutoff and not allow opponent control fuel point just outside ur base and at 1v1 map like crossroad / langre u can protect ur own cutoff using it while protected by base flak Even better, your T3 locks 1/3 of the map (your side) and then after a good push you can lock your opponent own cutoff for quite some time for a cheap price.

Thread: USF needs more AT options.20 Sep 2018, 07:44 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2018, 06:08 AMClarity I would be fine with the 57mm being in LT Tier to make the M20 more appealing and the 50.Cal being moved to Captain tier just to make it slightly more appealing to go for Captain in some situations. I also kind of wish Nades were just slightly cheaper. Maybe 15-20 fuel instead of 25. Let's be honest. If you put together HMG + ATgun, the tier getting Will be the get to go and the other one left forever. With that you can stale until T3 without spending much fuel. If Captain get M15 + Stuart, that's mean you need to spend 100 fuel to use both of them, and both of them are easily countered/kept at bay by Axis PUMA. 100 fuel Will put your waaay behind on the late game. If you put together HMG + Stuart and M15 + Atgun, people Will most likely choose HMG + Stuart because the Stuart hold better early armored vehicle than M1 and has enough AI to cover flank and HMG suppress well enough in comparison to the M15. Thus making the tier having them the get to go, again. If the Stuart joins T1, the decision to go Captain will be more on using the pak than M15/ATgun. In other words, mixing AT and Suppression is all we want but would completely break the faction. Or including a strong remodeling of both Stuart and M15 to give them strong abilities that worth the price. In: Strategy Desk
