This is Partially true but we also get a lot of new units. Like a previous user mentioned. Ranger, Infantry Mortars, Cavalry Rifleman, to name a few. I just wish they would carry over the Ranger from AA and make them a Doctrine. Similar Rangers to that of COH. I would love for them to stick those Mortars into the LT (Platoon) Building. Maybe have the Cavalry Rifleman as a Call In from a new Commander, they can come in, in a Halftrack. The point is that the units aren't actually new, they are just reused models called new units. You can make custom units all day using the preexisting models. No new tanks, no new planes, no new infantry models or equipment. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF wishes for patch30 Mar 2015, 17:01 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2015, 16:48 PMJHeartless Where exactly did I say the JPIV was OP? I didnt. Alex said it has no stats that are better then the Panther and implies that the Jackson is the most effective Tank Destroyer. When in fact the JP4 has MANY stats that are better than the Panthers and is a good Tank Destroyer in its own right. Its is almost a 100% mirror to the Pak40 but immune to Infantry. It has lesser Pen of course but against USF that doesnt matter. Its just not was easy to use so there you go. Use it as a Pak and support it like a Pak and your golden. On the Sherman note yes NO ONE EVER has any reason in any game to give chase to anything with a Sherman. Shermans are ALWAYS going to be used behind an infantry screen in EVERY case! Please... We can argue all day. I have shown what the actual lack of fuels impact. About 1 more tank. That is the point and the point is proven. If having one more tank is such an impact to justify just about better EVERYTHING else then ok. I dont think it does personally. The game doesn't work in a perfect vacuum. Both USF and Soviets can make caches to improve income and Soviets can avoid having to spend fuel on teching at all by using call in. The JPIV has less armor and health, less mobility, and less pen than the Panther. While this makes sense as the JPIV is 135 fuel and the Panther 175, the reduced OKW fuel income makes building the JPIV undesirable because it delays you ability to counter enemy blobs because you won't have Flak HT/P2/Obers/Sturmtiger. The problem the JPIV faces the most honestly is it's shit tier mobility, meaning you can't reposition it to effectively fight the fast and agile allied mediums it's supposed to be dealing with.

Thread: USF wishes for patch30 Mar 2015, 16:54 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2015, 15:21 PMCookiezNcreem The P2 can win games if they're isn't enough AT or it avoids a mine and wipes multiple squads on retreat. So not being able to get a panther a few mins later is irrelevant if you are forced to give up the flanks or lose all your infantry. And rifles lose to folks in the big picture because there are more volks than rifles and volks have the benefit of retreating to a damn fortress to further dominate rifles for their cost, Once they vet,even a little bit,t they can resist even LMG rifles until other numerous squads arrive to help unless they spend muni and fuel ON DOUBLE BARS(because one has no noticeable effect)which makes them cost disproportionately more. And then obers shit all over that mechanic DPS comparison is a fucking lie unless you're fighting in a vacuum. just having a 1v1 gun fight at range with both in proper cover will take ages for rifles to win unless there both standing in red cover looking each other in the eye and smellin each other's breath. Which doesn't happen. Unless it's Stalingrad or something similar. Hats the only time rifles truly dominate anything. Losing 2-3 models and health and not being able to fight the inevitable next squad is not dominating anything. sturms are well balanced because they beat rifles when used properly and with skill and ability usage, and get murdered when used idiotically with no brains like Volks are used 90% of the time. You also bleed thanks to reinforce cost. The P2 is good at it's job, this isn't an issue. The issue is that the Stuart needs to be redone and the T70 needs more health. There are more Volks than Rifles because Volks are cheaper, but they are also effective filler, they aren't your DPS. You use them to screen for your real hard hitters. Rifles are your mainline unit and you can actually upgrade their anti infantry DPS. And once they vet up, they still get owned by LMG rifles because LMG's are very good right now. Volks are basically all you have unless you spam call in infantry, which isn't a smart idea. The DPS comparison isn't a lie, most maps are small and filled with cover letting you get right in an enemy's face to do the most amount of DPS you can, and Volks are 5 models just like Rifles, every loss of a model for Volks is equal in a model loss for rifles since in each case your losing 1/5th of your DPS. And when Volks are upgraded with the shrek they lose 1/5 of their AI dps anyway. Sturms are expensive because they have very good close range DPS that falls of as you get into medium range. They are basically your only way have discouraging rifles from just running into your Volks and out DPSing them. Sturms don't really require that much more skill, don't charge them at enemy ranged squad's, not really much of a hard thinking task there. When was the last time you saw Jackson fightning medium like Pz4? The only unit with 40 range is Tiger but it has good survability. Jackson usually fights with 60 range Jadgpanzer or 50 range Panther so it's 10 more, just like Puma vs medium so again... Double standards? The Jackson is normally fighting Panthers/Tigers because people don't make PzIV's anymore thanks to the Jackson itself. And no it's not normally facing JPIV's because the JPIV as I said earlier is just a shittier Panther, if you can make a Schwer there is no reason to go for it. The Puma's strength is it's mobility, but it's pen isn't fantastic and at the end of the day it's still an armored car. It's not double standards, the Puma doesn't do 240 damage, nor does it cost the same as a Jackson. The two are incomparable. The SU85 can see farther only when its movement is nerfed through focus sites. The imapact of the fuel advantage will not kick in until late game. Period as USF needs to pay more fuel while starting with less to Tech. And again that advantage only amounts to about one more tank with equal map control. Its not like USF gets 33% more tanks! Think about it like a race, OKW starts with a lead but is slower meaning that USF and OKW get to the finish line about the same time. The issue with OKW however is that you shouldn't give a faction a fuel penalty and then no medium tanks resulting in OKW either being stuck making very light easy to kill vehicles, or big monstrous heavy's that cost a fuckload. If OKW had a analogue to the Sherman or T34 in Tech 2 you might see less fuckery with Panthers. They could add in the PIV Ausf J at 105 fuel. In: Lobby
Thread: USF wishes for patch30 Mar 2015, 15:10 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2015, 15:06 PMAustralian Magic Rememebr when I asked you to check thing before saying something? Well, here's the thing. Fusiliers have better DPS than Rifles at 15+. Rifles have better ar 15-. And it's funny cause you have said many times that "if you lose Jackson to schrecks/Pz4... etc.... cause of higher range" but now you are saying that Puma with higer range and selfspoting is diying to any medium. Double standards or what? The Puma has 10 more range than a medium, while a Jackson has 20 more range than a medium. And Pfuss having better long range DPS isn't really that amazing when they cost about the same and most fights take place at sub 10 range anyway. If OKW didn't have such a huge MP float thanks to no spending options they wouldn't be as amazing. In: Lobby

Thread: USF wishes for patch30 Mar 2015, 14:54 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2015, 14:32 PM☭ Калашникова ☭ Puma will reliably kill most mediums on a 1 on 1 engagement, Just don't use it vs Jackson's If the tanks at shooting at their max ranges and the medium in question just sits there then yes. But the Puma's effectiveness is reduced later on due to the Captain tier hard countering it. It's just not worth making when the flak HT does the same thing but better. 1The puma can absoulutely give a fast Sherman fits and reduce its impact. if it's supported with shrieks and micro'do The panzer 2 is 50 fuel. Please ffs stfu about the fuel income. The Stuart is 70 and sucks in comparison and impact. And comes in a useless tier compared to OKW counterpart. The Stuka is completely better than anything USF has in regards to arty. The Puma can help deal with medium armor, but it's not worth 70 fuel to help deal with enemy mediums when you can get other stuff to do that better for lesser cost. The P2 is 50+80, and the fuel income means everything because it reduces the ability for you to make another tank after you get that P2, that's 50 fuel that could have gone towards a Panther or making another truck. The Stuart does suck ass, but that's totally independent of the P2 being good. The Stuart needs a buff, the P2 doesn't need a nerf. Captain and the Schwer are not at all comparable, the captain is the USF analogue to the Mechanized HQ. BG HQ/LT -> T1 Mechanized HQ/CpT -> T2 Schwer/Major -> T3 The Stuka is better because USF doesn't have on map artillery other than the Priest, which is a howitzer and thus not comparable to the Stuka. You can also pop cap abuse with the Priest, which you can't do with the Stuka. The P4 battlegroup is cheaper than two A3 Sherman's AFAIK at 210 fuel So? Nobody uses the P4 battle group because nobody wants to pay for slightly better T34's at 9 CP when you could get a Command Panther or save for a KT. The easy 8 loses to Panther I would hope so! Because the Panther costs more. Rifles will bleed against fusiliers,volks, and the only infantry that's balanced in OKW is sturmpioneers. Except Rifles have higher DPS than both of those infantry units, and Fuss cost more than Rifles. How are Sturms the only balanced infantry in OKW?, I mean they are the only one that makes sense since the OKW used mostly automatic weaponry and whatnot but we aren't exactly shooting for realism here. Obers are stupid, but Fallsch are to expensive/fragile and JLI are just fine. You have rakentens and mg34 to spend MP on, but why when shrieks and overs exist. Except the Rackaten is garbage and the MG34 is like a 42 but has less suppression, I do use it but it's not all reliable while being very fragile. My HE Sherman will get one shot off on your obers before a response volley of shrieks nails it for half its health,and a panther chases and finishes said Sherman. Okw is vulnerable at certain moments but cheap shrieks and volks etc allow them to survive these lapses of weakness. Except your Sherman has longer range than the Volks do, and the Scott can easily out range any AT the OKW player has. OKW is very vulnerable to crushing and other kiting/movement mechanics due to lack of a snare. Volks will outnumber, out scale, and stomp rifles after the first 5 mins. Again a forward med truck completely swings this in OKW favor, yet again. Except Volks don't outperform any allied infantry till Vet 3, at which point they only outperform conscripts in AI power. The power of Volks is in the shrek, and their durability, they have quite poor anti infantry performance compared to rifles who can also get AI upgrades. If your rifles are getting stomped in the first 5 minutes then jesus christ I don't know what to say. Rifles have 12 more DPS than Volks. In: Lobby
Thread: New faction British??30 Mar 2015, 14:26 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2015, 14:18 PMKatitof Umm, replayability value for AA is incomparably greater then for any SC2 campaign. And are you REALLY arguing that adding 6 units is better then TWO WHOLE ARMIES? At this point I wonder if I talk to a frog who learned to type english. USF mortar? Rangers? Cavalry rifleman? Repair halftruck? Various new off-maps? The sherman from the last mission? Why are you talking about parts of the game you obviously NEVER played yourself and instead spit usual, inaccurate bullshit? Iv played the entire AA campaign, which is a joke because even on hard the AI is so bad I swear to god it must be set to easy. All the USF units in the game are just reused models of USF units added when the army was put into the game. There isn't a single custom model to be found for miles. The Repeatability for AA is a joke as well, the amount of unit customization you have in the SC2 campaigns blows AA out of the water, every single unit you get has 2 variants, that can also be upgraded to multiple other variants. If you have ever played another Relic game before you would know that to call AA a full campaign is a shame when shit like DoW2 exists. Hell, they put more effort into DoW Retribution.

Thread: USF wishes for patch30 Mar 2015, 14:21 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2015, 14:12 PMCookiezNcreem Almost every OKW unit is better(especially over time)and costs less or the same as its USF counterpart in one way or another..or in cases like Panther or KT, there is no counterpart. Why do you think USF gets raped late game? It's not the late tanks. It's the stupid amount of cheap replaceable OP infantry that OKW has thanks to their LACK OF MP BLEED. The only way to win as USF is contain and wipe the hordes of endless cheap infantry armed with heat seaking rocket launchers(with dirt cheap reinforce) and free LMG miniguns. Or hope it's a map like Stalingrad. And you have to do all this containment while being unable to back cap or surround thanks to schewy HQ. And med trucks that take a nuke to destroy with any sort of haste. Except there isn't a single OKW tank that cost's the same or less than it's USF counterpart while being better. The P2 is 130 fuel, 169 fuel if you count the income reduction. The AA HT isn't objectively better than the USF AA HT, the Puma is 70 fuel and dies to the first medium tank and can't hurt infantry, and the Stuka doesn't have any US analogue to compare it to. OKW doesn't have tanks. And the issue with cheap replaceable infantry? Yeah thanks to the fact OKW can't spend it's MP on anything but infantry thanks to having zero support weapons and no tanks to make means that you can either let it go to waste or spend it on more infantry. Volks shouldn't be an issue for your riflemen at all, and Obers do need to be toned down, but are still not stupid hard to get rid of as a 4 man squad when you have fun stuff like the Scott. Or HE shells. As USF you always have abundance of fuel and no menpower to use that fuel. Which is exactly the reverse of OKW's problem. In: Lobby
Thread: New faction British??30 Mar 2015, 14:14 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2015, 14:09 PMKatitof So we didn't get USF AA campaign as well as 2 new ARMIES for price of full game with WFA+AA. Meanwhile, SC2 offered couple of new units and campaign for price of full game. I really wonder which deal sounds better. Next time before hitting that reply button reread the post couple more times until you understand it. Some people are slower then others, its normal, take your time and make sure you are replying for the whole post instead of just the part you've managed to process. Unless you have worst case of selective reading ever known to a man that is. Except AA was only about 5-6 hours long, which can normally only be achieved through speed runs for HotS and WoL. Not to mention the fact that the expansions added new units for all the armies. USF + OKW + AA is the price of 2 Starcraft Expansions, while only getting you nominally more units and a single player campaign that was extremely poor for it's cost. The fact that Relic literally did not make a single new unit for the AA campaign is rather telling. In: COH2 Gameplay
