Thread: kubelwagen with capping capability 25 Nov 2015, 07:48 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2015, 07:11 AM__deleted__ Yes ofcourse it will be OP. Even when russians can counter it in 1 minute (and m3 stains usefull even after kubel kill) USA can kill it in 5 minutes - and m20 is strong agains new OKW as long as you go captain ASAP after m20 and brits can counter it in minute 0 an bren carrier is good because flamer is always good and it can transport units so it will give you more mapcontrol. So at all i think it wont be such OpieOP as everybody is claimning here. It also cannot detect mines so clever player will build one mine on cut off and bye bye agrssive kubel. (NOTE: 3 of 5 best USA doctrines have mines (armor , infantry , pershing cavalry) ) Add 5 fuel cost to the Kubel. With the OKW starting a game with 10 fuel, it let open a fast kubel push strat but surely will not make it OP. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Piats taking out MG Bunkers25 Nov 2015, 07:32 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2015, 00:44 AMmedhood I dont know if this is sarcasm and people are seeing me as an Axis fanboy here or if this is serious because its off topic anyways Rifle nades counter 50. Cals and Vickers better than they do Maxims since they have 4 man squads compared to 6 man and I always thought that the Rifle nade should have reduced range when suppressed because the way I see it to counter Mgs with infantry you should flank it or smoke it not just run up to it and blow it up be it grenades or hand held at weapons Faust counter fighting position. I think you need 3 faust shots and bye bye the position. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes24 Nov 2015, 11:40 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2015, 11:03 AM__deleted__ How 65 fuel luchs decreas your munny income so you dont have for shreck ? Also saying fast luchs delay p4 is like saing stuar delay sherman Yeah I made a mistake on shreck But anyway, it is USF meta to build a medium actually while OKW is just going strait to T3/Pz4. Forcing them to build a Luch/flack-HT is actually a good deal if T3 also sees a fuel price increase. I'm supposed to be a kind of Allied Fanboy, don't make me defending to much OKW but from my 1vs1 experience USF vs OKW the Shwerer HQ is the masterpiece of OKW defense, getting it delayed by 50 fuel is already a big nerf, same with a regular fuel income in compensation. Before last patch, I was able to rush OKW regiment HQ with or T1 Rifle/HT/Zook/.50 or T2 Rifle/Capt/Atgun/Stuart to take it down simply because OKW players weren't fast enough to build their Shwerer. (Some players were delaying it deployment to make sure they had fuel in case of need) What have change last patch? Kubel + Sturm rush + fast 2xISG suppression meta delayed the windows of strike enough to make it too much uncertain + players insta building Shwerer to cover their ISG. With the removal of Kubel suppression + ISG suppresion, any OKW player will need a flack-HT or a Luch to counter a mid game heavy push or to go MG34 doctrines. My opinion is that a good multi directional attack on a Med truck early enough mid-game has good chance to work in this next patch. As USF, you need T1 50+15+50 = 115 fuel + 120 ammo to have a REzook + .50 + M15, more than enough to attack with your rifles a Med truck (M15+zooks kill the med truck, .50 + rifles suppress and kill around) You need T2 60+70= 130 fuel to get Capt+Atgun+ stuart, Capt + Atgun to take out the Med truck and Stuart + Rifles to kill around. I may be wrong, but the way I see it, if 2xsturm start + kubel spam isn't too cheesy early game, as OKW you'll need to spend fuel to counter USF mid game. Aside, as I said before, I'm more in favor to make OKW paid their side abilities/packages than increasing panther/pz4 prices. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes24 Nov 2015, 10:24 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2015, 10:07 AM__deleted__ Fast luch will rekt infantry and delay enemy tanks becuase of mapcontrol Fast luch means no shreck, we're fighting theorycraft here, if OKW goes Luch, its 60 fuel more delay for the T3. Not saying fast luch is not a problem, just saying if fast luch is balanced so you'll need a luch mid to counter Allies mid-game. Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2015, 10:12 AMAustralian Magic Later? A bit bit later? Dude, look page or 2 behind. Pz4 can come 40 earlier than Sherman. For JP4 it might be even 55 fuel earlier than Jackson. Panther also comes earlier than E8. If T3 goes from 80 fuel to 120 or 130, its 40-50 fuel more, if in addition OKW must build a mid vehicle to stop gap Allies, its already a good point. Now I also want to see OKW upgrades and abilities cost ammo and fuel or simply increase HQ deployment cost or put linear T1>T2>T3 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should T-34-85 be non doctrinal?24 Nov 2015, 10:14 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2015, 19:06 PMAchtAchter Yes, 60 range, high pen, self spotting. You won't destroy reliably heavy tanks or tank destroyers by using t34/85 It's probably because I'm use of the Jackson glass cannon that I usually avoid using a TD to counter another TD (moreover when it is cheaper and have good chance to take mine down). Problem vs heavies> not in my opinion, you can reliably counter a tiger with a pair of T34-85 Problem vs super heavies> yes I agree. So maybe T3 T34-74 / T70 / M5 T4 T34-85 / SU85 / kat And SU76 call-in if you want to delay your T4. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes24 Nov 2015, 10:02 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2015, 09:47 AMMoerserKarL yeah this makes sense. There are enough schrecks, to support the luchs. OKW dont need a medium tank against allied mediums imo. They have at this point enough raketen and schrecks to kill every allied medium. Actually if you micro well, your medium is usually taken down by the Pz4/Panther coming a bit later. Now if Shwerer is delayed to 120 fuel, the "bit later" will be "bit bit more later", Building more raken will not save you vs 1 medium + infantry squads, building more shreck maybe works but your volks cost more to build and reinforce.

Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes24 Nov 2015, 09:40 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2015, 09:20 AMIron Emperor T4 to 120-130 fuel is reasonable. Can't wait for it since it will completely shutdown early Shwerer secure 1/3 of the map strat + ISG spam from secured area. Not forgetting the fact OKW will must produce medium vehicle to not get rek by Sov/USF/Brit mediums. Works in 1vs1,2vs2,3vs3,4vs4 In 1vs1 and 4vs4, from experience, I can't count the number of time I'm pushing hard OKW guys really early in game to be stopped by a fast Shwerer deployed I have nothing to counter before T3. Please Relic, increase T4 fuel cost! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Countering Osttruppen spam24 Nov 2015, 09:17 AM 1- Secure your fuel by securing critical houses around it and cutoff, don't try to outcap him since he got more squads. Ostruppens deal shit vs garrisoned units. Starting RE + 3xRM + 1xRE is enough to keep 1/2 of the map. 2- Lieutenant first, you can easily build 2xHMG.50, one defense at your cutoff/fuel, one offensive. A-Move it with your riflequads, when you start engaging his troops, micro your rifles in cover and let the .50 fire from behind, the suppression is enough to pin them + Ostruppen don't have riflenade to counter it. 3- Unlock BARs or M15. Ostruppen BO ususally comes with Pzgren. Equip BARs to counter them effectively or M15 to force him to invest in a pak (1 less Pzgren) or shreck (ammo sink). This + HMG.50 will completely shut them down. 4- Fighting Position: Place them wisely and defensively on the map, So you can use your second .50 offensively as well. 5- Care of the early Pz4. If you went M15 or M20, be even more carefull around 10 minutes, You'll be late with your first medium. I recommend Armor company vs Ostruppen to call-in a M10 as soon as you can. 6- Care of mines, It is really really important to get 1 or 2 mine sweepers. Your opponent has no ammo sink except mines and shreck. If you see shreck you can expect less mines, but if you don't ==> Sweep!!! In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: PanzerFaust and T1 building 24 Nov 2015, 08:47 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2015, 08:30 AMMyself All at snares have been seriously nerf when the lost the guaranteed engine damage. I don't really think that some extra range would actually cause an issue. Most allied vehicles have enough AI to cause causalities to a 4 man grenadier squad trying to faust and grenadier are quite expensive to reinforce for a basic infatry... If your T1 is destroyed (can be destroyed from artillery without anyone going into your base) or if you call in gren without T1, they gren will not have access to faust either... So I was right, you want faust whenever you build T1 or not. You want Ostruppen spam + faust with your BP1... In: COH2 Balance
