Thread: Idea how to repair industry...14 Jul 2015, 02:28 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jul 2015, 02:24 AMVuther I'd have to agree shell-switching would be killer to it considering the KV-2 also needs to manage its artillery mode. To give it AT considering that drawback (at least ISUs can insta-reverse when caught switching), it would be better off being given higher penetration or high deflection damage. Which is why I said the artillery mode should be removed and it should have a better ROF just normally. In: Lobby
Thread: Idea how to repair industry...14 Jul 2015, 02:00 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jul 2015, 01:50 AMGrumpy In general, I agree but the KV2 has a range of only 40 when not set up. Its DPS is lower than OST or OKW medium tanks. The ISU "fix" nearly "fixed" it into oblivion. The 12 second switch, combined with how badly it gets destroyed by shrek blobs make it difficult to use in larger games. I tried Industry once since the patch and hated it. Too much fuel, too little manpower. I also don't think that Relic could balance it for all game sizes. Either it would be garden pudding in 1's and OP in 4's or vice-versa. The ISU shell switch didn't destroy it, it's still excellent. It's just bad in larger game modes because there is zero reason to go for Tigers anymore to so the default is Elefant for late game Super Tank. It also doesn't get destroyed by shrek blobs due to it's good frontal armor so uh, I have no idea what your talking about there. It is certainly a destroyer OF shrek blobs. The KV-2 should just be a good assault tank like it's intended to be, so it should have either HE shells for bombarding enemy Paks or AT shells for doing lots of damage to Panthers or other tanks sitting back on the defensive.

Except it will come earlier now with buffed units. tbh I think a lot of people are overlooking the fact that OKW is the only faction who's teching didn't get pushed back (although It didn't get pulled forward either) making Panthers and PIV's hit the field pretty fast. Although it's not like their counters wont already be there (AT guns, SU-76, ect). In: Lobby
Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest14 Jul 2015, 01:12 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jul 2015, 00:57 AMCieZ I get a Stuart at least 90% of the time that I play USF in 2v2. It's an amazing unit. Last night I played with Dusty and had a 32 kill Stuart by the end of the game. It's great against Grens, Volks, MGs, 222, 251 HT, 251 Flak. Even holds it's own against Puma, helps a lot against Pz4... dominated Luchs, etc. It's a good unit. Captain is essentially the be all end all counter to OKW Mech starts now; especially with the cheaper price. In: Lobby

Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest13 Jul 2015, 23:41 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 22:26 PMJadek It's funny to read that. Imagine USF, with a MG42 arc. What is smoke that comes on your best basic infantry unit. I would give up Volk cold protection and grenade for smoke. So nothing was done to help USF indirect other then making the pack howi no longer completely overpriced. USF will still struggle vs the MG42 especially with them being in T0. Captain also now costs less to reducing the total cost of the Pack Howi significantly. I also feel for all the people who believe Stuart based strats will work and its valid enough to delay sherman by another 3-4 minutes. Everyone but OKW got delayed, so USF is just on par with everyone else now while gaining the ability to field a light tank before anyone else can. edit: typos! In: Lobby

With the added 80mp to the Ost starting manpower, and with the delayed need for T1 (another 80mp), the Ost can get a really good start with Prostruppen and MG42s. It's probably a matter of personal preference tbh In: Lobby
Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest13 Jul 2015, 21:44 PM Fun Fact: you need t1 to unlock faust on Oustruppen so skipping t1 isn't a good idea when going Oustruppen In: Lobby
Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest13 Jul 2015, 20:56 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 20:50 PMEsxile Didn't see any stat improvement for the pack howy so it is still completely shitty. I have try to make use of it but it barely touch any target. Too RNG. Not sure I'm gonna buy it because it is cheaper now. Stuart is not really king of anything, it is a "not that bad unit" but doesn't make the investment interesting compared to T70 and Luch. Stuart was interesting because of early dominance of Mg42 and fast P4, now the medium are a bit delayed, T1 is probably becoming viable again. Later medium also means for USF having more trouble to deal with LMG42/volks shreck spam. I don't really understand why all those changes but nothing for the USF to diversify its opening and an easier access to an AT platform like any other faction. Imo, USF is going to be more T1 / half-track (cheaper and faster to build than the Stuart and have better impact vs inf) + BAR/Zook upgrade to counter any eventual light vehicle. or simply as usual skip light vehicle for a fast sherman, it cost 30 fu more but you save 15 fu with the BAR/Zook, so only 15 fu. Building an early fuel is going to be more important now. Last point, seeing how USF is still paper tank, delaying them means more counters ready when they hit the field. Man aren't you just sunshine and rainbows. The Stuart will now come faster than any other Light Tank in the entire game. With heavy meta completely dead the USF AT gun will finally have a plethora of targets for it to chew on. In: Lobby
