Your right, they don't need to exert that much air to wipe them. A simple glare or light breathing will do it. |
Needs to be in the game, late game USF have no other option to effectively counter Vet5 volks and ober squads. |
Honestly I believe the root of all tank balance problems start at the Panther. This may seem ridiculous, but this tank really is in a class of its own. Its fast normally, and with blitzkrieg its basically a fucking race car. It has very thick armour, meaning even the best AT weapons only have a 50% chance to pen the front. And supporting that fact, it has high health, so even a few penetrations rarely mean its in any danger. Then we factor in Smoke launchers, which mean that even if you do get it to low hp it has a "HAHAHAAH NOPE" button with a tiny munitions cost.
People say that its suffers from a lack of a decent weapon, but the panther successfully fills the role that everyone wishes there tanks would. Its a line breaker, the tip of the spear. It can effectively engage EVERY SINGLE ALLIED UNIT. Normally these units come in at a much higher cost, such as a king tiger or IS2. Not to mention each of these tanks suffers from a distinct weakness, the king tiger in mobility and the IS2 in survivability (Slower and no smoke launchers).
Ultimately in my opinion the Panther is undeniably the best tank in the game. |
My biggest complaint isn't how bad allied armour is vs german armour.
Its how good german hand held AT is vs allied armour. Jacksons never get to properly engage german tanks, simply do to swarms of shreks running around. |
I love it when people say you can circle a tank. That's hilarious. Because people just drive there tanks into giant open fields and let enemy tanks circle them.
The reality is that on most maps, you can only really engage a heavy tank with 1-2 mediums at a time. Once you factor in infantry and other obstacles, flanking is also VERY difficult, and often times impossible.

Howie that fa show pays off
Good to see I'm not the only one who uses terror. It works very well vs OKW as the propaganda can constantly shut down blobs. however I find t4 much more effective for the su-85 rather then hoping that your t34 can seal the deal vs tanks. And instead of using the t34s like Ice was, I use the kv-8s.
Edit: And I cried laughing when he finally used the prop/arty combo, its one that has worked for myself MANY times. |
As someone with a business degree, and a history in customer service I can honestly say that Relics communication with their consumers is not acceptable. Yes, they have improved but that only goes to show how unacceptable their communication channels were before. And further more what has been labelled as "improvement" shows how little they really understand about the changes that need to be made.
The worst part about this is it's not some giant business secret, most people will actively tell you what they want. Hell, with the internet these days you can find all sorts of solution with a quick Google search. And on a very serious, probably demeaning note, a college level business communication course will cost maybe 500$ and tell them exactly how to rectify all their problems. Yet still, these problems exist within relic? At what point do you just call it ignorance?
I really do enjoy playing Company of Heros, I've played it since the first instalment and would like to continue playing. but the reality is at their current rate I don't know how much longer it is till people give up on the game and move elsewhere. |
Did I seriously just here someone say the p4 is worse then the sherman? holy mother of noobs. And yes the IS-2 is a very good tank, its supposed to be. And what's with people saying Tigers don't murder infantry squads? These things decimate infantry. |
7 seconds? holy mother of terrible. No wonder no one uses it. |
Was looking for some good allied streamers. I see Romeo from time to time, but that aside normally its 100% axis on the twitch channels. Any suggestions? |
