Thread: Comet29 Jan 2018, 22:23 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2018, 04:19 AMTobis lmao you also realize the comet shoots at infantry too, right? The comet has more than 50% more pen than the cromwell and 33% more than the t34-85, while being better at AI than both of them. It's got only 5% less armor than a tiger. It has a smoke shot that rapes AT guns, and nades that let it circle strafe them easily. It's non-doctrinal, and you're complaining that it loses against a tank specifically designed to counter it. I'm not sure what more you expect from this tank. I will tell you exactly what I expect. For it cost i expect axis infantry to be scared to take too many hits while capping from its main gun. Instead they just ignore it almost as if its not there. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet26 Jan 2018, 03:36 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2018, 22:12 PMTobis You know it has about the same pen as the Stug, an actual tank destroyer, right? They never even nerfed the penetration. lmao you also realize what the stug cost tech wise and pure cost to the comet right? Also you have to remember what the stug is firing at, weaker armored allied armor. So its chance to pen is still great opposed to the comet which is a late game tank having to fight heavier armor axis late game tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet26 Jan 2018, 03:34 AM also im pretty sure the comet got a vet nerf at one point people said it vetted too fast maybe but then was overnerfed, it takes extremely long for it to vet IMO In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet25 Jan 2018, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2018, 08:27 AMHighfiveeeee This is correct. The comet is (and was) not meant to counter Tank Destroyers as the Panther who have the sole role of countering tanks themselves. It is meant to be some kind of a stock Tiger for the Brits meaning good AI and good AT (against mediums and below). You also do not drive up to a supported Jackson with a Tiger. It might have been overnerfed, but being able to defeat Panthers is not a good ground for complaints in my opinion. Comparing a jackson and a tiger is not the same thing as comparing a panther and comet. Panther is a "tank hunter" not a tank destroyer, jagdpanzer is a tank destroyer, FF is, stug is, jackson is, su 85 is. Why is panther not a TD. Well because none of those other tanks either have the armor, health and OR speed to chase down wounded tanks and do it relatively safely because panther also has great escape helped further with a lot of popular docs abilitys (tact smoke, blitz). One of those above might have one of them but not all 3. Also the TDs i mentioned above have almost 0 AI ability, panthers is not the best but it does have some the mg42 pintle is actually pretty good. However I agree I dont expect it to out duke a panther as panther AI is not that great so thats the panthers good AT tank hunter niche. I just think comet was a bit over nerfed either in the penetration department or the AI department and it would be nice to be able to field it again but right now its just never worth it outshined by all the better tools that do their jobs more effectively.

Thread: Comet25 Jan 2018, 16:55 PM Your mis understanding, I am not expecting it to win vs super heavys and panthers in AT. But right now a panther can literally chase it down because comet is not going to pen it like 60-70% of time. There is just little for other thanks to fear from it. What I am saying is im not going to get a comet to fight mediums i can do that with at guns, cromwell, FF that all are much more use full then the comet. If i want Ai centuar or cromwell are waaay better at it than comet is. So wtf is the point of spending the side tech brits T4 and the cost of the comet to get something that cant really even make other armor fear full of diving me and it doesent make enough AI impact for me to get it either. It fuckin misses half the time firing at infantry an when it does hit maybe 1 or 2 models die, Axis infantry is not scared to just sit there and take hits from it, i would be more scared of cromwell, tiger any form, ez8, 3485 or p4 than it. So either make this late game tank that cost a lot actually able to penetrate heavies and panthers so it can at least make them think a little about charging it or diving against it or make it actaully have at least the AI main gun potential of other mediums in the game.

Thread: Comet25 Jan 2018, 01:16 AM Has anyone honestly tried using it since it was nerfed a few patching ago? Every now and then I give it another shot but every time I really regret it or possible lost the match from wanting to try it. It literally does NOTHING well other than white phos support weps if you can even get it vetted as late as it comes. It has SEVERE problems being able to pen panthers and super heavys. but at the same time its too expensive to really risk it for flanking like mediums. Thats one thing ok its not good vs armor but it is TERRIBLE against Inf also. Try it for you self you can spend alll day shooting at infantry with it and in 5 shots maybe gib 1 model or 2. I just hate how units get nerfed to fubar, it never beat panthers in AT the way it was before nerf that was a giant lie. Make something good about it please that outweighs the cost like maybe AI of that of the cromwell because right now it makes no sense to get the comet for anything it just sucks at everything relative to its cost.

Thread: USF Mortar22 Jan 2018, 19:30 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2018, 19:27 PMSupremeStefan best game is when u play port hamburg right side fuel aganist two wermaht players and each one make one mg and 2 mortars sometimes its really annoying especially as brit player Oh yeah its wipe city you cant even really fight them just have to avoid the area cause you know one of those homing mortars is gonna wipe your squad if you try. And if your USF what do you do make shit mortar that just gets hard countered by there mortar? or smoke there mg then retreat mortar instantly lol In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Mortar22 Jan 2018, 19:14 PM it is terrible its fakin worthless other than smoking mgs. Complete crap i have to build this POS mortar just to smoke mgs. Whats really funny is when it gets wiped by the first shell from OST mortar ive had that happen SEVERAL times. Garbage. I had games where OST mortar wiped 2 IS squads right off the bat in cover. Or leaves them with a sliver of HP that are easily wiped and sniped by grens. Thats fine tho. Really usf mortar has crap range already why cant it be decent at least instead of useless other than smoking mgs. It needs to be effective at least or your forced to choose captain every time to get pak howie or a doct with mortar HT. Or give rifles back smoke. "just flank" dosent work on half these dota 3 lane maps designed perfectly for axis mg arc. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Coh2 USF rifle company and E818 Jan 2018, 18:41 PM I find the ez8 incredibly lack luster anymore. I think it needs better speed or acceleration to make it better at flanking or maybe a bit better AI with main gun. It just too hard countered by so many things. Can easily get rolled by stug(s) can't really fight panthers, cant really fight any tank well other than other mediums. SUper glue taken away plus volks have snares now too which anything USF snared is death sentence other than maybe persh. Like other have said why buy it when its not great at anything really when you can have a reg sherman and jackson. Feel the exact same about comet after it was nerfed because of the LIES that it could beat panthers that was always crap. Comet is so so but too expensive for something that again dosent do anything great, much rather have a cromwell or centuar paired with a FF. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerfing Indirect Fire11 Jan 2018, 22:29 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2018, 16:56 PMMarkedRaptor The Panzer Werfer is a mix of good and terrible. I've noticed once it gets going and gets veterency it quickly a pretty useful indirect fire option. There are pretty big problems though. It requires you to hit the last tier and sacrifice getting a tank out (Ostheer strives on getting these tanks out). It also doesn't really counter emplacements, like at all. Which is what you'd get it for. Also only firing 10 rockets is noticable, it's infinitely weaker at the "Wide Spread" barrage tactic where you try to saturate an area in rockets to damage as much as possible. Making it really only good at trying to wipe a small area or individual targets. Thing is, when you use rocket artillery against allies you WANT to launch as many rockets possible to target as much infantry as possible. Or if you want the focused destructive rockets, you'd want them to damage emplacements. The panzer werfer isn't bad, it just doesn't really fit into the niche it's trying to. It's why most people like the brumbar as "indirect fire". Actually it does counter emplacements really well now idk if you tried since patch. Vet3 emplacements are when they get better survivability they vet way slower now with out the range and autofire nerfs. RE doct was nerfed as well with the auto repair. Even if you kill the RE's repairing it thats 210 mp and if they are vetted slower repair speeds. I think PW barrage cd is up before brace is back up now too. People get brumbar because it can be insanely broken when you just follow it around with a couple grens and a pak. It counters its own counters that dont pen the front reliably AT guns and usually kills them with first shot. I always found it hilariously broken against USF as jackson is the only thing they have that can dmg or pen it but if you follow it around with pak jackson cant do much either. Even does good dmg to other tanks. In: COH2 Balance
