Thread: 2 Solutions for JP4 Camo (serious thread, not trolling)20 Sep 2015, 05:33 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2015, 02:24 AMdrChengele People still argue with Alex in this day and age? He would defend the Vickers range bug if it was an Axis unit. How come Soviets use the Su85 with success even if it has no cloak and it is up against Panzerschrecks? It is not all that much more mobile than the JPIV after all. And how come when the Su85 gets cooldown on focus sight or t70 gets cooldown on recon mode, that is perfectly fine, but as soon as people start discussing JP getting cooldown on cloak, whoah, hold your gardening horses mate, it's time to let's talk about how this is a videogame and how investments must be preserved. How about instead of accusing me of fanboyism actually engage my argument? I would never say the Vickers bug is okay and accusing me of defending it is fucking shitty as hell. What is you problem dude? The SU-85 doesn't cost as much, has better maneuverability and a traversal gun, and the ability to self sight. It's scary good with vet (although tracking sucks). The JPIV does have a cool down on it's recloak on toggling it? No and I guess that's a problem. It has been a long time since then, but it happened that i button a JPIV with Guards, it cloak and dissapear away. Not sure if it works. Cammo is broken. /Thread. You could argue if that makes it a balanced unit or not (and here we go into another point regarding the performance of a unit due to it's vet1 ability) PD: 5s to cloak is equal to it's RoF. That is why it can shoot, cloak and fire again. This changes at vet3. Literally from the game files; it can't cloak if it's been in combat in 5 seconds. Button doesn't keep it in combat which might be an issue as well, but if you have something hit or shoot at it then unless it's not hit for 5 seconds it can't cloak. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2 Solutions for JP4 Camo (serious thread, not trolling)19 Sep 2015, 23:53 PM Since when is 5 seconds "instantly"? Thats less than the reload on multiple tanks. You can also keep it tagged as in combat by using infantry. Now toggling the cloak ability is a problem, but the cloak itself is fine. On AT games as Axis I play only OKW I and love to see how my JP4 dissapear in front of enemies' ISU/IS/Anything so they are switching target, so I can laught at them and snipe, snipe, snipe... lol Btw, Brits can't get anything to kill trucks. Immobile mortars, no other source of effective artillery to kill them. Seems similar things to OKW 251/17 (even worse becuase you don;t have anything until true late game) so by that logic glider should destroy them because most of time you don't have ANY unit to harras forward trucks. AT gun's, Tank's don't exist? Gammon bombs? In: COH2 Balance

Why I consider you as axis fanboy? "It's OK that flak bases and schwerer can shoot down 540MP commandos and glider because they can't afford to get 251/17" That's just example from recent days. By that logic, Brits should be able to destroy truck with glider because they don't have any reasonable artillery expect Sexton which is locked behind doctrine. Uh, I never said that base defenses shooting down planes is okay because base defense's can't actually shoot down planes. You asked why the Schwer can shoot down planes and I gave you an answer. Getting AA as USF, Soviets or Brit's isn't hard and isn't nearly expensive as it is for OKW. Also, the Schwer's AA abilities really aren't that powerful. Sure it can occasion shoot a plane down but again considering how much OKW has to pay for dedicated AA.... Anyway Gliders getting forced landings by AA is as designed, don't see what the issue there is other than you trying to derail this thread by showing that you don't know what your talking about vis a vis the JPIV. Not going to dig this because it pointless how you are defending broken ability which has no requirements and it's braindead. It can only cloak after it's been out of combat for 5 seconds, Scout Car's can detect it while it's cloaked and recon planes can detect it while it's cloaked. There is no actual way to make it dependent on cover because it's a tank. Again; please play OKW more than not at all and use the unit before you scream about it being brain dead to use In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2 Solutions for JP4 Camo (serious thread, not trolling)19 Sep 2015, 23:12 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2015, 22:55 PMAustralian Magic Dude, I wasnt charging KT. I charged JP, shoot one volley and run away. What front armor has to do with shooting its ass? Snipers have recloak time and you need cover for this. You are still Axis fanboy. You shoulnd need any scout if you have 3 tanks next to enemy, in the middle of nowhere and you see it. JPIV does not have any requiremtns for its cover while it should. Tanks aren't affected by cover. So unless Relic changes the engine so vehicles are effected by cover your not going to be able to make the JPIV's cloak require cover (it shouldn't anyway). You were charging a KT, if you are going after a unit next to a KT you are charging a KT. And what exactly makes me an Axis fanboy? The fact that I have in recent memory played OKW while you haven't in weeks? Literally all you had to do was drop a tiny bit of fuel on one scout car to detect it or call in a recon plane and you would have killed it. Or just support your T34/76's with some AT guns to scare off the KT. Increase detection radius from 10 to 25 And after each shot the JPIV has a recloak time of 5 seconds like snipers do, so uh ??? at this statement: Snipers have recloak time and you need cover for this. \ It also won't cloak if you have infantry shooting at it, so if you just took a single con squad with you to keep shooting at it you would have killed it lol.

Thread: 2 Solutions for JP4 Camo (serious thread, not trolling)19 Sep 2015, 22:53 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2015, 22:49 PMAustralian Magic JP4 rear armor : 80 (88 in case of vet 4) T34 penetration: 120 - 80 Explain what medicore penetration has to do with it? Im waiting. How can anyone defend tank which dissapears in the middle of nowhere, in front of 3 tanks next to it But I belive, 3 tanks shouldnt be able to shoot even once at axis tank then Why do all sniper units have cloak that allows them to just phase into the warp? Why do tanks not just instantly explode on first penetration? Why does the Sturmtiger have an effective range of 45 meters when IRL it had a range of 3 miles? The answer is because it's a video game. The cloaking mechanic exists to give it something to use to escape from enemy armor because it represents a significant investment for the OKW player and it has terrible maneuverability. I said mediocre pen because you had a high chance to bounce on it's frontal armor and it's frontal armor encases 80% of the tank (Tanks in game are either 50-50 or 80-20). You also were charging a KT as well and fuck if you were going to be taking on that thing. Regardless my point is that you made a tactical mistake by not bringing a scout with you to support your T34's and you were punished for it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: JagdTiger and Elephant need counters19 Sep 2015, 22:46 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2015, 22:43 PMAustralian Magic So I did. He just drove straight into your forces and then order to reverse left, then order to reverse reverse right which caused stupid rotation, so it couldnt escape from AT gun. It's hard to say that it was becasue of your great assault when I say that bleed. 70 lost models.. It's almost as if despite the losses I took I could come back because Vet 3 Rifle Flamers are broken as all hell. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: JagdTiger and Elephant need counters19 Sep 2015, 22:43 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2015, 22:39 PMThe_rEd_bEar if you read my statement properly i was referring to allied infantry at, i was pretty specific, and no im i played spacehamster and im not impressed he just abuses what ever he can and your opponents rank was ok at best PTRS's are soft AT with the bonus of not reducing the squads AI ability by a lot. PIAT's have great deflection damage and can easily hit heavies. You can also hit mediums with them by using attack ground. Zooks are cheap as chips and you can give them to whoever you want. The point of the replay is that killing a PIV isn't hard and if you seriously are having a hard time of it then it's an issue of you not using enough AT. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2 Solutions for JP4 Camo (serious thread, not trolling)19 Sep 2015, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2015, 22:31 PMAustralian Magic Dude, KT has nothing to do with it. I was perfectly fine with loosing 2 T34s to the KT next to it. It was fine with me. I just need to shoot once in the ass of JP4 from 20-30 range but I couldnt because it was consantly dissapearing. How the hell I was outplayed if I clear all infantry around and was able to get 3 tanks behind JP4? You charged 3 tanks with aggressively mediocre pen against a JPIV and KT. Like the fact you were okay with losing them shows your attack was a mistake and you got your just desserts. Like a single recon plane, recon run, or scout car could have saved the day for you but nope just going to blindly charge 3 T34/76's at the enemy. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: JagdTiger and Elephant need counters19 Sep 2015, 22:28 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2015, 22:20 PMThe_rEd_bEar a replay with 4 mediocre players doesn't prove any thing, allied at is still medicore a zooks have a chance to bounce of p4s, piats miss all the time and the ptrs is lol. The point of the thread is that the elephant and the jt when properly support is niegh unbeatable which it is, it doesnt need nerfs it needs a more clear counter which is amplified by the fact that this game has shit maps that allows no flanking Yeah Space sure is mediocre, being top 20 with 3 factions in 1v1 and top 30 with all others. I'm total scrub to obviously which is why our combined AT is top 40 and I have replays of beating multiple good players multiple times. Allied AT is anything but mediocre except for the 45mm and maybe the USF AT gun. The fact you can't or won't use it is on you. If you kill Pz4 with 1 AT gun and shitty Cpt's zooks, it's not because they are amazing, it'e because someone totally overrun Pz4. How about you watch the damn replay? In: COH2 Balance
