Thread: PGrens with double panzerschrecks against USF17 Feb 2015, 23:24 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2015, 23:20 PMWingZero Wow, I didn't know a KV-1 was a beast against Tigers. Pro tip, it's the things following the KV1 that the Tiger needs to worry about the most, not the KV1 itself. I believe I can safely say that you've achieved lolcake level of utter bullshit right now. Even jaigen and sierra could learn from your denial, misinformation and complete lack of facts or stats knowledge. You could actually cite a source that says the stat are different you know, I would be more than happy to seem them. Regardless if you think the Tiger I is some unbeatable beast I don't know what game or mode your playing. Because the Tiger is a worse counter to the current allied meta than the Elefant in every way. In: COH2 Balance

Yes they are, pulled straight from the stats website. Regardless it's not even a contest about weather a IS2 can easily kill a Tiger or not. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: PGrens with double panzerschrecks against USF17 Feb 2015, 23:18 PM You will just fine hitting it's rear armor, which really isn't hard to do. If the Tiger runs over a single mine and gets engine damage a single KV1 will kill it, never mind 2. Which doesn't even touch the fact if your Tiger stops for a few seconds a 203 caliber shell is going make your Tiger look like a soup can if you dropped a stick of dynamite in it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: PGrens with double panzerschrecks against USF17 Feb 2015, 23:14 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2015, 23:01 PMKatitof KV1: 340 Frontal Armor, 225 Rear Armor, max speed 6.7, Hit Points 675. Tiger: 300 Frontal Armor, 180 Rear Armor, max speed 4.7, Hit Points 1040. KV1 Cost: 420 MP and 145 fuel at 8 CP. Tiger Cost: 640 MP and 230 fuel at 12 CP. The saddest part is that if you went any of the Tiger commanders you won't have a single counter to B4 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: P4717 Feb 2015, 23:00 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2015, 22:44 PMMirage357 If you were in the target zone on its first strafe it will track you no matter where you go. Hence why it follows the targets all the way across the map. But it seems to only sometimes do that, Iv pulled tanks only slightly out of the target zone and the planes have just circled ahead crying for something to shoot at and then in other times I'll pull the tank all the way back to my own base and the planes just won't leave it alone. I would be fine if it did more damage but only attacked in the target zone always,that way it's better at killing snared tanks but players who are paying attention enough to pull out of the attack zone will live.

Thread: Remove Shreck from Volks17 Feb 2015, 22:56 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2015, 20:40 PMdrChengele Today I rounded a corner with Stuart on Lanzerath. Big mistake. You know that feeling when you go around a corner with a Luchs and are at range 30-35 from 3 Allied squads and all you can say is "ohshi--" before your tank dies? No, you don't, because what are the 3 squads gonna do, shake their fists at your tank angrily? Axis tanks do not have to live with this. This enables them to be a mobile reconnaisance force, among other things, yet another luxury Allied tanks don't really have. I think the question is why are your tanks moving unsupported, killing an unsupported tank really isn't hard. lol.... Pershing was under powered yes it was. you got that right but everything is pretty much wrong 1. The U.S. didnt produce and deploy pershings sooner because they didnt want to slow down the sherman production line(thats just one popular theory no one really knows the true reason) 2. Us and German Tank Doctrine was different in fact prior to the Landings that opened up the western front US commander and intel already knew about Tigers/Panther and even could have upgunned Shermans for long barreled 75MM/76MM guns but chose not too. Because in US doctrine the tank was infantry support weapon along with exploiting breakthroughs once they had been achieved not creating them. German Tank Doctrine as the war progressed centered around Tanks being there driving force destroying enemy tanks and being a armored spearhead. US commander left tank hunting to Tank destroys like the M10,M18 and M36 so that shermans were free to mostly support infantry(towards the end of the war alot of infantry divisions had their own separate detachment of tanks) Of course the relaities of war meant shermans were often taking on German tanks, and even then Shermans faired better than myths would have you believe Source: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2013/07/28/please-dont-use-the-5-m4s-1-panther-myth/ (source within a source) Also none of that changes the fact most German Heavy armored vehicles had little overall impact due to there limited numbers further agitated by many being lost to fuel shortages and breakdowns. The reason the Pershing was not deployed sooner is because A. Extreme mechanical problems in the testing period of development resulting from using a vastly underpowered engine and B. The support a Pershing would need in the field was far, far larger than the support required for the M series of Tank Destroyers and the support required for the Sherman variants combined. The Sherman was not up gunned for several reasons. 1. The Sherman was working wonders in the Pacific theater and the Pentagon saw little reason to create a new Sherman variant just to deal with German armor despite the obvious burden this would place on the European theater. 2. Lack of unified tactical vision, some wanted the Sherman series to simply be a support tank, and that attempting to up gun it would be pointless due to the power of the German's anti-armor weapons and that dedicated Tank Destroyers could fulfill the roll of taking on Axis armor. 3. Apathy, the success on the North African front and ongoing persecution of the Italian front made U.S. command believe that having a tank that could go toe to toe with German armor to be pointless when we easily outnumbered the German armor in every engagement we had. 4. Poor reaction to Intelligence, despite knowing that if Germany redeployed a large number of tanks from the Eastern Front to the Western we would be in deep shit Allied commander didn't believe Germany had the resources or will to pull off such a redeployment. This and many other big fuck ups would result in the failure of Operation Market Garden and the initial success of the Germans in the battle of the bulge. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: P4717 Feb 2015, 22:37 PM The bullshit part about it is that the planes will regularly attack outside their target zone, have lost far to many tanks to P47's due to driving literally all the way across the map to get out of the target area. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer: What is to be done?17 Feb 2015, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2015, 22:02 PMKatitof Need? Need against what? Against mediums, you have superior mediums, AT guns, shrecks and stugs if you like them, against heavies you have your own heavies, panther, PaK43 and elephant. Ost doesn't need it at all, because it already got all the hardcounters for all allied armor it needs both doctrinal and stock. And argument "because other armies have 60 range TD" won't go by, because other armies do not have panthers(bar OKW, but they are different can of worms). Ost fills all possible AT niches except extremely light AT akin to PTRS/bazooka. Show me an Ostheer player who uses StuG's and PIV's to counter enemy armor and I'll show you a player I'm about to make my bitch with Jacksons and AT grenades. Both the Ostheer AT gun and Shrek Platform are extremely fragile, and can be wiped in literally one shot from the basic stock Allied tanks, especially in the case of Pgrens when you can just crush them easily. And in the current ultra-commander dependent meta there isn't a single good Ostheer commander with the Pak43, and a Tiger with support will always lose out to a IS2 with support, or more than a single KV1 with support. So that leaves us with the Elefant, which is an excellent TD despite the draw backs of it's slow speed and low maneuverability, and the Panther which is gated behind a extremely costly tiering system. The Jadgpanther (It should be a call in from a commander) would give Ostheer a dedicated medium/heavy leaning TD that while it lacks the shear range of an elefant, has more mobility and a better ROF allowing Ostheer more breathing room.

Thread: Ostheer - MG42 17 Feb 2015, 20:10 PM It still blows me away people haven't figured out the defensive .50 cal is the fighting position one and the offensive .50 cal is the tripod carried one. Also please reduce the set up time and tear down time for the MG34, please and thank you. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer: What is to be done?17 Feb 2015, 20:05 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2015, 18:29 PMWingZero Sure as long as US gets Pershing or we don't need another insta kill heavy Uber Axis TD. Wait so how is the inclusion of the Jadgpanther, a unit which Ostheer sorely needs, the limit for you when things like the Jadgtiger and Elefant exist? You know that a Pershing wouldn't be able to take any more hits than an Easy Eight while not being able to attack enemy infantry right? The Pershing could work as a good counter to the KT, but it couldn't have nearly the health or armor of an IS2. Still there is little to reason to say the Jadgpanther can't be in COH2 when we have units like the Sturmtiger and Stuart. In: COH2 Gameplay
