You really suck at reading comprehension do you? But keep going you may figure it out someday.



True but that's why they are cheaper. basically you can outfit a rear echelon with 2 zooks for each volks with a shrek. but their are no medium tanks to fight against so the value of the zooka drops.

Are you going to keep flaming people or are you about to treat us to more of your, German "Math" again?


Defensive vet bonuses on infantry are worth mentioning because there's this thing that happens when a tank isn't firing it's main gun- and even while it does- that just about every German tank has.


Its called a machine gun. You can't ignore them.


The fact that German tanks are both more durable out the gate, and scale better into late game via vet is still a valid point, and still worth bringing up. German-only Wehraboos might forget they left the difficulty dial jammed at the, "easy" position otherwise.

its a pretty strong unit with the added late game utility that it really effectively shoots down p47s and il2s, but is basically hard countered by AT guns and most light armor. hell, you can kill it with 3 AT nades if you charge at it from different directions.

Turning any aircraft your opponent calls in into a bomb that will potentially fall on your own units with zero warning isn't a perk, its a flaw.


This is like back in COH1 how the Panzer Elite Henshel loiter was broken against the British because if you built a Vickers AA gun, the Henshel was guaranteed to crash into it.

also why highlight the pioneer?

Tier 0 infantry squad that competes with high vet, late game infantry. Only costs man power. Can repair, and salvage resources. Can be upgraded to detect mines. With high vet it actually gets grenades. The only people who are confused over why this is an issue are a bunch of wehraboos.



Am I the only person who remembers when Dawn of War: Dark Crusade first came out and the Necron had something almost identical that bent game balance over and brutalized it with a paddle?



There's something wrong when I can base an operational strategy around building a bunch of Sterp Pioneers, flank the shit out of everything, salvage everything, and shit out a Panther over it. Ignoring for a moment the fact that you get a tier 0 unit with DPS that competes with fully upgraded, high vet Allied infantry- never mind the fact that you must choose commanders that build these units, and that they often have massive, gaping dead zones as you see with Shock troops who's ranged DPS is barely higher than vanilla tier 1 infantry until they close point blank- sterp pioneers represent one of the few units in the game that'll actually give you fuel, potentially munitions, for being a good little Nazi.


Sturmpioneers represent a dead end in game design when you have one faction that simply fields better units but tries to excuse it by making them expensive, and part of the, "end game faction" while willfully denying anything remotely competitive to the other guy. I get not wanting to add M26 Pershings to the game because they had a minor impact on the game, but what about M4A3E2's? Why do both Axis factions get Panther G's while the US and the Soviets need to chose specific commanders to get M4 Sherman's with 76mm guns or T-34-85's? How the hell do you explain the Ostwind, jadtiger, sturmtiger, or KV-8? Most of those had a production run of 50 units or less.

just a friendly reminder that double bar vet 3 rifles are just as strong as obers. friendly reminder that vet 3 pathfinders with bars are stronger than obers.

So this unit unit that you spend 120 munitions- since you can drop those BARs it isn't unreasonable to bump it up to 180- on and 280 man power, and then pay upkeep and keep alive for most of the game are competitive with a unit any OKW player can field?


This is the same horseshit WM players got in COH1 where they just spent man power and fuel to get what every other goddamn player had to actually earn.

No the zooka simply lacks targets. it excels against vehicles and medium tanks. while you see some vehicles, currently the okw elite armor doctrine is piss poor and ostheer tier 3 is in shambles. so you wont be seeing p4 anytime soon. neither handeld weapon performs well against the heavy tanks however.

Good thing the US has heavy tanks.


Wait, they don't? And the OKW gets one core?


I can't even give you the comment that they're good against medium tanks. Bazookas exist for no purpose other than to inconvenience vehicles and remind tanks that they might get hit while they retreat. Might.

Do shreks have better accuracy than zooks?

It seems way harder to get zooks to hit in the first place compared to shreks.

They don't really have an accuracy table so much as a scatter table.


And because Relic Balance is arbitrated over by wehraboos, the Panzershrek has a slightly smaller scatter factor.

These need to be made like American demo's from vCoH, not placeable anywhere on the map for a near instant kill to any squad no matter what veterancy. I'm sick of losing entire squads to a practically uncounterable demo. Mine sweepers make no difference when you still can't disarm them making them a all reward no risk ability.

This is one of those things that makes me scratch my head considering how much shit these things caused in COH1 when Relic brought they back.


They shouldn't exist in the game, period, but because game balance without relying on dumb gimmicks like baiting players into democharges favors Axis, I really, really do not care. We can talk when someone at the helm of Relic's balance department isn't complete wehraboo, and doesn't have to work with a DLC producer who's completely out there with his disinterest in balance.
