Thread: Why panzerfusiliers are buildable?30 Jan 2020, 21:04 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 20:42 PMAerohank Assuming the soviet player doesn't build a tech structure. I also think you underestimate the powerspike. Being able to win the first engagement by having an extra squad (and sturmpios) is not a minor advantage to have against Soviets. Again every faction, Pathfinder cooldown have been increased for the exact same reason. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: jackson armor nerf27 Jan 2020, 16:15 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jan 2020, 15:03 PMthedarkarmadillo The Jackson and usf as a whole would function absolutely fine if the Jackson was tuned to be a heavy TD and the medium tank counters were buffed slightly. What's more, the usf have what 2 commanders that don't have a medium AT option? You would have to go out of your way to struggle against medium armour as usf without the Jackson filling that role. Well that's exactly what I also want but this mean buffing Sherman AT pen basically, don't forget OKW Pz4 can bully hard the actual Sherman with its armor. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: jackson armor nerf27 Jan 2020, 13:10 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jan 2020, 11:00 AMthedarkarmadillo Losing a p4to the equally fast but 50% higher ranged guaranteed to pen TD is much more reasonable. Why is the Jackson supposed to guaranteed counter the p4 even on defense, even if caught out of position, even if flanked but EVERY SINGLE other TD in the game isn't supposed to survive let alone possibly win getting caught out? The answer is because the Jackson is over performing and poorly designed. Try to dive an equivalently wounded Panther with a sherman and let me know. Pz4 are also doing just fine overextending once vet1 and blitz activated, even get a second panic button with doctrine if required. I'm not saying Jackson isn't OP, but what you expose here isn't really what makes it OP. What makes it OP is the need to fulfill 2 roles, countering medium tanks and countering heavy tanks. We'd all love to have a solution to make it more dedicated to one or the other role but that's not possible until Relic move on and bring a solution on USF roaster. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: jackson armor nerf27 Jan 2020, 10:41 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jan 2020, 10:01 AMthedarkarmadillo It very much reads like your issues with the jacksons vulnerability lies entirely with micro issues. The Jackson has 60 range. Meaning if a p4 is hitting, let alone with less than a max range snap shot you fucked up. Similarly if 35 range infantry are getting into a range nearly half that of your jacksons operating range you fucked up. If the enemy is pushing with multiple p4s and all you have to stop then is a single Jackson and no even the micro to get it out you fucked up. The only scenario where your Jackson should actually be a threat of dying is if you fuck up HARD since even a single p4 punching through is more likley than the to dies itself than kill a single Jackson. The same is not true of course for a single medium breaking through against a insert quite LITERALLY any single other TD in the entire game here because the Jackson is over buffed and poorly designed. Losing a P4 to a Jackson is also about mistake. Diving with a P4 is about using the environment and shot blockers, using their Vet1 blitz and potential smoke pot if you have the doctrine. Now if you like to play on redball express that's for sure going to be a problem but any 1vs1 and 2vs2 maps give ways to close the distance on long range TDs. But there is also something important to notice, Pz4 aren't meant to counter Jackson first hand. They can for sure but they are not counter. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Locking OKW Tiger behind all SWS is super unfair27 Jan 2020, 08:13 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2020, 20:42 PMHannibal If you go for Conscripts that is true, but SOV have two viable playstyles. If you go for a T1 build, you do not need molotovs and an AT package. Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2020, 21:18 PMKatitof What if you go penals? Yes, that's the point. Anyway its just weird at design level that you've got optional upgrades that become suddenly mandatory in order to call a unit. In: COH2 Balance

But this also only works if SOV is forced to get molotovs and AT grenades, otherwise it should be more expensive. Why? if you decide to not go molotov or atnade, that's a drawback you're assuming to take In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Locking OKW Tiger behind all SWS is super unfair26 Jan 2020, 17:36 PM Soviet could use a specific upgrade on T4 costing the relevant amount of fuel and manpower to hit the cost for other factions. At the moment Soviet Tiers are correctly priced for what they deliver. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: jackson armor nerf25 Jan 2020, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2020, 18:42 PMblvckdream Someone here claimed USF has no other counter to medium tanks than Jackson and that is simply wrong. They have ATG, mines, snares on mainline infantry, Bazookas and the Sherman is almost on one level with Ost P4 too. So really they have everything the other factions have too. The only thing they don't have is a cheap TD option like the Stug. Then they have doctrinal options like EZ8, M10, 76Sherman, Elite Zooks, P47. Jackson is obviously needed too but that doesn't mean it should keep being way ahead of any other TD because of not having any weakness and on top insane penetration values. SU 85 is casemate. Firefly is slow, has bad reload and gets no penetration boost with vet. Meanwhile Jackson has all you could possibly want without any drawbacks. That's simply bad design. You're listing what has been purposely balanced to be supportive to tanks in their battle, for each factions. But if you're so much in the theory that ATgun and Infantry AT are enough to counter mediums, why don't you apply your own logic and use ATgun and pgshrek and mines vs Jackson. What the purpose of this thread in fact, If Pz4 bounce once every 8-9 shots, where were your atgun and pgshrek group to seal the deal? enlight us. In: COH2 Balance
