Thread: So.... about those Heavy tanks. 16 Oct 2014, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2014, 20:52 PM__deleted__ Well, I concur when it comes to counterattack. But then again, I wouldnt consider the KV1 component of it very problematical in the first place - its not that the KV1 is a bad tank, but it can be reasonably stopped by conventional AT. The B4 on the other hand decides game in the long run all by itself (and incidentally performs very well against the Elefant), and thats where the recon/stuka comobo comes in. From what I have seen in the Star Crossed Cup, the Elefant works great with support such as with other tanks and Pak Guns. I will need to do some testing of the Elefant in some 4v4s. I will report back with my findings In: COH2 Balance

ISU needs to be toned down AT wise so there are available counters. Not so much that its useless against tanks but it shouldn't be a straight up hard counter. Granted, a a panther with proper support can Warp Drive right past the ISU and run circles on it while the infantry demolish everything else. But the ISU does need some kind of nerf. JT shooting through buildings needs to be a timed ability as stated earlier. Maybe enough of a window to get off like 2-3 shots, good ability to use against retreating armor. Elefant is hipster. It's fine as is. ISU is actually kinda meh versus Axis heavies. It is the most potent Soviet AT vehicle in the game. If it gets nerfed then Soviets are going to be done for. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So.... about those Heavy tanks. 16 Oct 2014, 19:55 PM Well you are going to have your units spotting for you. Your tank isn't going to be right at the front lines anyway. Adding a spotting scope is debatable. The Jagdtiger already works wonders on open maps. This could lead to more complaints In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So.... about those Heavy tanks. 16 Oct 2014, 19:41 PM Nah I don't think it needs a spotting scope. Doesn't it already have the biggest range for a tank in the game at 85? Right now there is really no risk in getting the Jagdtiger (coming from a team games perspective, probably the same in 2v2 and 1v1). In open maps it works great with its great range. EVen in urban maps, it can sit back and snipe tanks through buildings. At least it becomes more vulnerable in urban maps when you take away its ability to shoot through obstacles. It becomes more of a strategic weapon with this change and not a "time to cancel all armor!" unit In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic: October patch is coming16 Oct 2014, 18:51 PM I am ready for this (takes off pants)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT: I am actually very happy about this. We were left in the dark previously with just the maps being implemented, but now there is word on an upcoming patch. Thank you Cynthia for shedding light on what is to be expected In: Lobby
Thread: So.... about those Heavy tanks. 16 Oct 2014, 18:49 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2014, 17:54 PMJinseual Well my main concern with the game are the long range tanks. They not only able to massive damage at long range out of reach of other units but they also have a lot of health and armor so when they are assaulted it will still take a lot to take them out. You have a better chance of losing your tanks then taking out the enemy, meanwhile the enemy is taking your stuff out from a safe place. At least with KT and IS2s you have to move forward into the danger zone in order to do damage so I don't have much gripes with those. Okay I understand your point. The title was misleading and I think the poll would've been more well constructed if it included all the heavies (even though I understand some of them are not problematic at all). I still think KT is very problematic and should be included. The Jgdtiger and KT I can see being balanced if there were more effective counters to them. The units themselves are okay but look at the KT and jagdtigers opponents, they are mostly Allied mediums which lack any heavy armor. Anything heavier is locked behind specific commanders. These Axis heavies also have better support in forms of powerful Pak guns and Obersoldaten, Grens, etc. Okay so what I am saying is, I think these heavies are fine, but in terms of matchups and support, there are heavy tanks (mostly KT and Jgdt) that are problematic. If we get reliable and effective counters for these units, the amount of frustration will go down dramatically In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ardennes Assault - Steam Preorder soon16 Oct 2014, 17:43 PM Okay guess im not going to buy this!!! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: So.... about those Heavy tanks. 16 Oct 2014, 17:33 PM Where is the KingTiger, IS2, and Tiger on this Poll? The KingTiger is basically a super heavy as well. It would be nice if the poll was more inclusive. Anyways, I think most of the heavies are fine, and they only need minor suggestions. ISU - increase scatter perhaps, but I still think it can be countered since its fairly fragile Elefant - rarely see this unit, but perhaps it suffers from "im not going to use this unit because everyone says it sucks!" syndrome. Jagdtiger - just change it so it can't shoot through obstacles You didn't put this on the poll, but I feel the best way to change them is to add more counters. Right now some tanks lack reliable counters like the Jgdtiger and KT. Their heavy armor makes it easy to brute force your way through opponents. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Map (6-8) Vielsam16 Oct 2014, 16:05 PM I haven't played it yet, but I will probably tonight. Judging from the map layout though, what is the point of putting the middle vp where it is? There are no real objectives of value around it! In: COH2 Gameplay
