Thread: PGrens with double panzerschrecks against USF16 Feb 2015, 21:02 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2015, 20:36 PMWingZero Try using Guards if you think PGs are weak infantry based AT. Guards are Guardbage (hehe), I agree. And would lead to OKW v2. Pgrens are just fine if you take steps to mitigate their fragility. Putting them in buildings, Screening for them etc. What they are NOT as Volks blobs that just run headlong into massive HE rounds and AI units to finish off armor with absolutely no drawback at all. If Pgrens magically were able to do this then DAMN right Ostheer would have more options. Similarly if Zook blobs were as effective as OKW shrek blobs then USF would have alot more options. But those options wouldnt be fun... Putting them in a building is actually a horrible idea as then you cannot instruct them at what to shoot at, and screening is pointless when a single HE round or a shell from a Scott can instantly wipe them with no warning. And if you are blobbing volks, as in grouping them up and running around your just asking to get 6 squads wiped by a single HE shell. Pgrens shouldn't be able to magically survive HE, but they should be able to not get instantly wiped extremely easily. And considering how expensive they are even if you did buff Pgrens survivability they would never be able to be blobbed. With Ostheers huge MP drain. Between PAKs, P4s, tellers, and fausts, the Ostheer have plenty of ways to deal with enemy tanks in 1v1. I pretty much never upgrade my Pgrens with shrecks. I like their AI much more. In team games, Elephants are fully viable with a teammate being able to cover your weaknesses in mobility. Don't mess with an Elephant. I do enjoy Pgren's AI capabilities especially against Rifle blobs, but the P4 is a very poor investment as far as AT goes. It can have it's round bounce pretty regularly against Shermans and T34's.

Thread: What tank is this?16 Feb 2015, 20:25 PM A hard counter to the Japanese empire, weak to suicide trucks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuUR95-o_fw#t=26 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: PGrens with double panzerschrecks against USF16 Feb 2015, 20:22 PM The point people keep trying to get at is that Ostheer has quite weak infantry based AT (or at least very fragile infantry based AT) which is partly what has forced the current "stall for tiger/elefant" or "rush to Panther" meta. If Ostheer had better mobile MP based AT then Ostheer players would have much more flexibility in strategy. Making Pgrens better at what they are supposed to do is part of that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Jackson TD desperately needs smoke dischargers.16 Feb 2015, 20:18 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2015, 18:56 PMWingZero In terms of damage no, Jackson does not have problem with heavy armor. Since your UP Volks get vet 4 & 5 bonuses, the long range accuracy of these shreks makes it very difficult for this glass canon. So you are willing to nerf a hard counter and the one of the "Best" AT tank because it rapes P4s? By this logic I want Jagd's damage to be nerfed as it rapes all medium tank. Why is Axis allowed to have the best infantry, best AT infantry, best medium tank & best heavy armor but Allies cant? If you nerf the damage on Jackson than US will have nothing to quickly finish off Panthers and heavies, Zooks (pshh), AT guns (yea right). The Jadgpanzer has nowhere near the shear damage potential that the Jackson has, you have more than enough time to pull your medium out of the line of fire. Not to mention the Jadgpanzer is the least mobile of all the medium TD's. I never said Volks are UP either, but their long range accuracy means diddly because they still can't even touch the Jacksons range. I don't want a nerf to the Jackson, I just want it to be less RNG and more about using it smart. Actually, JP4 is out of stock units. Above average sight range that gets even better with vet without slowing down the vehicle itself, really decent armor, good rof, excellent penetration, great vet ability, awesome scaling, can arrive extremely early. There is literally no downside to it and no reason not to get it if there wasn't a panther that also can fend off infantry and obers in T4. The Jadgpanzer is the least mobile of all the stock TD's and while is does scale well (This true of literally almost every OKW unit, that's how the faction works) the lack of mobility makes it a extremely easy target for the fast and deadly allied mediums. Most people invest in Panthers and shreks because both those things are much easier to keep mobile and respond to incursions faster. This is why I wouldn't mind for a price increase and penetration increase, I just personally think nerfing Jackson's damage will make USF AT (already limited) weak against heavies, especially against OKW. If we need to address Osth vs USF than this is a different issue and requires an over haul for every single faction as USF faces problems vs OKW. A reduction in damage but a increase in ROF would mean it would actually be doing more DPS and be a better unit against heavies. Ostheer shouldn't need to continue to suffer extremely because people are pissed a unit in one of the fastest teching factions doesn't counter a tank that takes far more teching and fuel investment.

Thread: The Jackson TD desperately needs smoke dischargers.16 Feb 2015, 18:40 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2015, 18:33 PMWingZero Actually, Jackson does not have a problem with heavy armor (aside from penetration), the problem are the shrek blobs (that is why smoke is needed as other mentioned). And No, it does not deserve "Sharp" decrease in damage because that is all what we see these days "Panther, Tiger or King Tiger". How can you say it doesn't have an issue with heavy armor and then say "aside from the penetration" when it can almost never penetrate the armor on even a Panther? And shrek blob's aren't a issue for the Jackson, it can out range a shrek blob easily. It deserves a decrease in damage because it has made Ostheer T3 literally useless, making it so it has 160 damage but better ROF would go a long way towards keeping the Jackson an excellent unit but also making it so it doesn't invalidate medium armor purchases. The mobility of a Jackson is what makes it such a amazing unit as well, I never have an issue with shrek blobs for my SU-85s so why should your much faster and maneuverable Jackson have problems?

Thread: The Jackson TD desperately needs smoke dischargers.16 Feb 2015, 18:27 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2015, 18:20 PMWingZero NO, we don't need to decrease the damage so Axis heavies can have more of a field day with medium armor. You know that the Jackson is garbage versus heavy armor and that's part of the problem right? It preforms extremely well at invalidating all medium armor. It deserves a decrease in damage and buff in ROF, that way it has more opportunity to actually penetrate and be useful against things bigger than medium tanks. I don't see why we need a tank that basically makes anything that isn't a Panther, Tiger or King Tiger obsolete. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Jackson TD desperately needs smoke dischargers.16 Feb 2015, 18:15 PM It's the best TD in the game barring the heavy ones like the Jadgtiger and Elefant. All it needs fixing is a increase in ROF and a sharp decrease in damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Make War not Love 2 - The Rematch16 Feb 2015, 18:12 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2015, 11:34 AMarmatak V-2 OFF-MAP coming!!!!! If they added a V2 launcher truck to the game I would buy what the commander it was a part of in a heartbeat. You know the really sad thing is Cruzz is one guy who ON HIS OWN and FOR FREE has made a mod that makes the game better. And that's nothing compared to the DoW II Elite Mod, which remains balanced with new units being constantly added to the game despite having 7 factions. In: Lobby
Thread: Ostheer: What is to be done?16 Feb 2015, 18:07 PM -Buff to Ostheer indirect fire, currently all Ostheer has that can compete with Soviets is the Mortar and Mortar HT which even fall off in usefulness late in the game when the caliber of artillery ramps up significantly. Make it so the leFH 105 Howitzer either does far more damage or has a better ROF and fires more shells, make the Panzerwerfer have longer range and tighter scatter. -Make mainline infantry units 5 men squads, in the current high DPS and indirect fire meta the Ostheer 4 man squads mean that a player must focus much more than any other faction on keeping units alive. And despite their focus can still lose a gren squad to a single 82mm mortar shell. -Reduction in MP cost to teching, goes with out saying -Buff T3, currently it's useless due to the power of the Jackson, a increase in range and pen for the StuG 3, and an increase in armor for the Ostwind and PIV would be nice. Along with a health increase for all 3. That or a sharp reduction in fuel cost. -Reduction in fuel cost for the Sturmpanzer, we hardly see this cool unit used -Slight buff to Tigers frontal armor to allow it to better deal with the IS2. -Increase in range or ROF for the elefant. -Make railway artillery do more damage over a wider area, it's a joke it's outclassed in every way by the B4. -survival buff to Assgrens -reduction in fuel cost for the Command PIV That's just the top off my head, will think of more tweaks later.
