Ostheer has never been able to function without combined arms. But the large amount of effort you need to put into stopping your opponent is dumb when they can literally just call in counters to everything you have with little effort. Nobody is saying Ostheer or OKW is literally unplayable, what people are saying is that not fixing medium call in's is dumb. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer Dedicated "TD" need 60 Range as Others24 Jun 2015, 21:37 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2015, 21:10 PMferwiner From what I know alex never plays 1v1s. That makes his statements even stranger. It doesn't make them wrong. I play 2v2's most out of any game mode and I can count the amount of times Iv made an Ostheer panther in the past 6 months and seen it get good efficiency on 1 hand. However the Stug isn't worse than everything else. It does actually possess an above average quality. My issue isn't with the StuG, but the Ost Panther. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Dedicated "TD" need 60 Range as Others24 Jun 2015, 21:08 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2015, 21:02 PMelchino7 Actually you have like 20-12-5 DPS with the default MGs. You add 14-9-3 with the MG upgrade. The coaxial one on the Panther (which is what I thought he was talking about) only has 6 at point blank. But yeah regardless of the performance of the MG's it still doesn't justify the insane cost for the Ostheer Panther. What's a "TD" ? Tank Depot ? You can't directly compare the different tiers of the factions. Some of them are linear (USF, Wehr) some aren't (OKW, Soviet). And yes the T34 is underpowered but how does that matter right now ? I never even mentioned the T34 wtf. Every faction has its advantages and disadvantages and that's how it's supposed to be. Let me put it simply. Something being worse than everything else cannot be justified through the lens of "asymmetrical balance". In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ostheer Dedicated "TD" need 60 Range as Others24 Jun 2015, 20:53 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2015, 20:45 PMGiaA What the hell, asymetrical balance is just as important right now as it used to be back when we only had two factions. I have no clue what your squad size example has to do with this. In that context OPs reasoning doesn't make sense. It's not "unfair" when a faction has a disadvantage in a certain area. So it the T34/76 being unmitigated garbage "asymmetrical" balance? I fail to see how Ostheer TD's being bumped up to the same level as literally every single other faction in the game's TD's would cause an issue. I mean, yeah the Puma, and M10 both have 50 range but they are also fast and have a turret. Well it does what its ment for. It also shoots down planes pretty well. And you're not going to tell me that you never buy mgs for those vehicles as 'they will never be close to infantry'. Its bullshit. Both stug-g and panther are powerful and hugely cost effective vehicles. Much more cost effective than their callin or okw counterparts once you tech. The Ost Panther is very, very cost ineffective due to how much teching costs on top of 175 fuel. The OKW Panther however, IS cost effective. I don't buy MG's on Ost Panthers because I almost never have games that last long enough for me to justify the purchase of one. The StuG G right now is fine, but I would be more than happy to trade the MG's on the Ostheer Panther for a range increase, a cost reduction, or a ROF bonus. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: new patch impression24 Jun 2015, 20:41 PM As far as popularity goes 1's, 4's and 2's are about equal, with 3's being notably behind. Logically it makes sense to balance for 1's and 2's because the majority of the player base plays those game modes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer Dedicated "TD" need 60 Range as Others24 Jun 2015, 20:39 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2015, 20:33 PMferwiner I don't get how 50 range is not enough, especially as stug and panther are only vehicles on your list that have pintle MG. Wow a whole 6 DPS at point blank range, with a max range of 35 that sure is great on a tank that you never want to use close to infantry. what ? The "asymmetrical balance" argument made sense in Vanilla were we had 2 distinct factions that had hard set rules with extremely few exceptions. Since WFA those all went out the window. You can easily face these days an Allied army consisting of 5 men or fewer squads or an Axis army consistent of 5 men or greater squads. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ostheer Dedicated "TD" need 60 Range as Others24 Jun 2015, 20:30 PM Something has to be done for the Ostheer Panther considering that it always comes out to little to late in competitive game modes (talking 1v1 and 2v2 here). Giving it 55 range or a better ROF would go a long way towards making the Ost Panther worth it's cost. That or they could just fix teching, but I guess they don't plan on doing that anymore.
