Thread: Heavy Tank Limit29 Jun 2015, 01:27 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Jun 2015, 01:19 AMQueenRatchet123 2 TANKS VS ONE comparing tech cost is soo stupid to justify unit performance or lack there of. Using tech cots to justify unit-to-unit performance while ignoring that its 2 tanks vs one, to start a bullshit comparison between cost effectiveness. #axisfanboyslogic Only one commander is capable of calling in 1 T34/85 at a time, so it will always be 2 T34/85's working in tandem with each other. Tech costs are everything; why do you think call in meta is so broken? An Axis player has to tech and pay teching costs for all his best shit while a Soviet player can build his first (free) tier and then spend the rest of the game hording fuel till 10 CP's at which point he just unleashes and endless wave of tanks. What exactly is there in Ostheer t4? The Pwerfer is shit from ass that's such a joke that it has less functional range than the bloody Sturmtiger, the Sturmpanzer also suffers because it's extremely awful path finding combined with a long reload speed and inaccurate main gun. So I; as an Ostheer player techs all the way up to T4 for the amazing privilege of my 1 Panther getting overwhelmed because my opponent has to build literally 1 tier the entire game which is free anyway.

Thread: Heavy Tank Limit29 Jun 2015, 00:46 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 23:55 PMAustralian Magic Limiting all super heavies should be something normal. For OKW, it would force player to use something else than KT instead of getting KT and waiting for another, I mean, why should I pick up anything else if I can get another KT? It's already best heavy tank in game. In 4v4, you can get second KT at 26min. It's not about countering it, because there are tools for that. It's about limiting all super heavies to encourage players to use different vehicles instead of spamming IS2/KTs/Tigers etc. Make KT/IS2 and support it with JPs/Panthers/SUs/T34. JT is better than KT in certain situations. Iv beaten more than a number of players who thought the KT was the answer to all their woes and troubles; because it isn't. It's dreadfully slow which makes kiting it a joke even the most braindead player can pull off. The KT after teching costs 40+80+260 = 380 fuel which is almost as much as 3 T34/85's. This of course doesn't take into account the fuel penalty which would bump it up to 520 which is as much as 2 IS2's. Simply put; it's a white elephant. Iv found much better success with a Panther + stuka combo with support than putting all my fuel and pop cap in a slow beast which spends 2/3rds of it's life driving around shooting at nothing. And to address your screen shot; next time don't give up map control of the entire map and then wonder why your enemy is crushing you when it comes to armor. they cost more #axisfanboyslogic A Panther costs as much as 2 T34/85's so why does it always lose? And before you ask I'm counting teching costs for Ostheer and OKW (with the fuel penalty). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer HMG too strong now28 Jun 2015, 23:24 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 23:08 PMsherlock An at snare does 100 damage. The critical is applied if the vehicle drops below 75% of it's health pool. The check is done after the damage of the at snare is applied. This means all light vehicles (m3, stuart, luchs, m20, scott, greyhound, su76, etc.) will receive a damaged engine with the current system. Only mediums and heavies do not receive engine damage if they are at full health. I keep forgetting that the snare change isn't exactly the one that was in the Alpha In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank Limit28 Jun 2015, 23:16 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 22:39 PMWingZero So what? Relic wanted more medium armor play so why not restrict 1 KT OR 1 Jagd? OKW can field both while I am limited 1 IS-2? Because OKW has no medium armor to play with? OKW is kinda ramshackle faction that a lot of exceptions to rules in it to work around the fuel penalty. KT's being limited to one would require a KT buff. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Heavy Tank Limit28 Jun 2015, 22:34 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 22:28 PMWingZero As you can see, Jagd completely negates Su-85s and Jacksons especially when it is backed up by Panthers & King Tigers. AT guns can be difficult to keep alive in large maps as I mentioned above, not to mention Obers eat them fast. Soviet infantry barely scales late game. The whole point is, Two heavies (1 player) were on the field where all we can field are mediums and 1 heavy. OKW has no generalist medium tank. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer HMG too strong now28 Jun 2015, 16:06 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 15:33 PMCookiezNcreem no...no it doesnt need to be fixed at all... T4 is not unaccessible in 2v2+,and T3 is so good 1v1 now why would you even need T4,unless the game drags on which in that case you CAN go T4 in 1v1. making battle phases 100 mp would break the game. the 222 would then come out before the M20. the STUG would come E V E N E A R L I E R™ The only thing stopping ostheer from basepinning USF in the first 5 mins is the fact that they have to prepare for LT tech vehicles with tech costs. An entire tier being unaccessible in 2v2 and 1v1 doesn't seem broken to you? Like would USF not being able to go Major in 1v1 or 2v2 be acceptable? What about Soviets? I would be more than happy with T3 costing more and T4 costing more less. BP's being 100 mp wouldn't magically give Ostheer the fuel it needs to rush, it would just mean Ostheer isn't constantly at a huge MP disadvantage compared to other factions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer HMG too strong now28 Jun 2015, 15:15 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 15:06 PMCookiezNcreem Stuff Ostheer is a lot easier to play than OKW because it has all the tools it needs to deal with what every is thrown at it; but Ostheer teching being to expensive MP wise Is a Thing That Needs Fixing. Not talking about "buffs" to any particular unit, just saying BP's should be 100 MP instead of 200. Catch my drift? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer HMG too strong now28 Jun 2015, 15:01 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 14:57 PMAerohank The Ostheer sniper is not underused since the buff. I have no idea how you would reach that conclusion. I can count the amount of times Iv had it used against me since the last patch on 1 hand. I mean it's used, but not as much as it should be considering it's effectiveness. A better way to phrase what I mean might be that the Snipers high cost makes it a hard sell when Allied counters such as light vehicles hit the field very, very early which can be hell for an average player to deal with if they went with a sniper build. Remember snares don't work against full health vehicles now; so it's not hard to rush past a gren squad to get at a sniper. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tank smoke.28 Jun 2015, 14:51 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2015, 14:44 PMNigelBallsworth That may be, but we're discussing the smoke ability...are you suggesting that since they're more expensive, they deserve that ability to increase their survivability ? If so, I would counter that their firepower is sufficient to account for their price. Not only that, but at that stage, there are swarms of elite infantry to back them, who typically make short work of your TDs. If you want to talk about the lack of viable Allied infantry based AT that's one thing but long gone are the days of Axis armor supremacy in CoH2. It's been stated before; smoke isn't a problem on light vehicles and mediums which don't take that long to kill. What it IS a problem on is Heavy tanks like the Panther and Tiger. In: COH2 Gameplay
