Thread: Zis Barrage9 Nov 2019, 19:28 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2019, 19:08 PMMr Carmine When ost reaches tech to build the pak. They get acces to lmg 42 and rifle nade. Talking about getting more then you pay for. Cons require a lot more cost then grens to to get them at their peak. Soviets getting more for the same price please. Stop talking when you dont know what you are talking about. I know what I'm talkin about. The performance of at guns' in this game is almost identical. The problem is that Sov get more stuff that is cheaper. If you play them right you have higher chances than the ost player. Zis barrage is one of those situations when you get more than your opponent. Stop spreading nonsense about pak being superior. It is different but shooting at tanks it will perform almost the same as zis. Zis will have bonus in terms of survivalability. Barrage should either make zis more expensive to buy or be moved to vet 1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Zis Barrage9 Nov 2019, 18:44 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2019, 18:30 PMMr Carmine The zis is a field gun. Because it can do more then at. And its not the best at AT compertevely. At guns' anti tank performance is really similar. There are no differences in combat situations. Problems occur when one side pays more for something that works the same or when one side gets more for the same price. Imo Soviets often get more than tha pay for. Zis barrage is a good example here. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Zis Barrage9 Nov 2019, 18:05 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2019, 16:36 PMMr Carmine I did not say they were weak. I said the at aspect of the zis is just as the su76 is inferior. They have other uses and abilties to compensate. And the siz has the same cost as the pak 40 so you defenitly pay for it. Its also 30 muni per use. By your logic pgrens dont pay for their bundle nade. If you remove tracking and make barrage a vet ability you need to change a lote of stuff to compensate such a nerf. Since soviets lack a real nade of any kind non doc. I find it easier to wipe six men teams as ost then the 4 men as soviets. Because sovs lack a real nade or cqc inf non doc. The barrage helps a lot in that area. Doctrines should be left out of balancing a faction. Doctrines should add or fill in gaps in the faction. I don't agree with most of it. To make it short. Zis is an at gun, which should be countered by infantry. Barrage makes it too easy to deal with infantry which is supposed to be its counter. It is even more of a problem for 4 men ost squads. The often used argument that Soviets have worse units is just (often repeated) rubbish. What they have in fact are extremely potent units for how much you pay for them. Cost/performance value is top notch. To sum up, moving zis barrage to vet 1 seems a very good idea. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Zis Barrage9 Nov 2019, 18:00 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2019, 17:52 PMMr Carmine A tiny bit less pen vs a lot higher armoured targets. So that tiny bit becomes a large bit. And yes it does do a poorer job in the AT area then the zis. But that is not true, either. The armour on sov tanks is almost the same if not higher. The problem, however, are fast cheap t34s and t70. They can circlestrafe ATs. For heavies you have su85, which is a better TD than a stug or even a panther. What is even more important, sov have larger squads to recapture, they are also better on the move, plus have lots of cheap hand held ATs. What you seem to be repeating are just myths.

Thread: Zis Barrage9 Nov 2019, 16:05 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2019, 15:40 PMMr Carmine The at aspect of the siz is inferior to the pak 40. It has inferior pen, inferior reload, same fire cone, same traverse, its vet ability is non at focused unlike the pak. It has more hp. And a secondary ability. Soviets who lack a real nade non doc. Real ass cqc inf non doc. Such as sturm and esp pgrens. At the time a far worse mortar in every aspect but hp. Now the mortars are equel. They also lack high sturdy armour non doc. This is why the zis and su76 have a secondary function. Nothing op about them. If you remove this ability, cons need a normal nade, penals need a nade like the bundle nade. The su76 t70 needs more hp and armour. Be carefull what you wish for. I wouldn't be so sure about all that. Soviets are really strong. They have lots of units through commanders and stock and all You wrote suggest that they are inferior, which is not true. Zis is just a tiny bit worse penetrationwise (10 or sth like that). If it gets barrage at vet 1 just like pak gets its stun ability. The fact that it has larger crew balances it. Barrage is just an extra feature that you don't pay for. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Balancing the Jackson(and USF AT options)9 Nov 2019, 14:18 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2019, 12:52 PMGoldenpunch İf there is 2 sherman and 1 ost p4 you are right. Funny to see axis player who obsessed with USF. Usf is now balanced and good faction can hold aganist axis. İ think thats problem for you guys. Sherman is actually not that bad againts ost p4. If you calculate the price difference and quick repairs it is actually very good. Play ostheer and test for yourself. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Zis Barrage9 Nov 2019, 14:12 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2019, 12:42 PMVipper The change I would try would be the following: Move barrage to vet 1 Reason: Currently makes mortars less attractive since it can substitute them from the start for low MU cost. Remove tracking from the unit: The ability combined with barrages allows accurate targeting via mini map information. That is exactly the problem and the change is a good idea. The manpower and popcap you would have to use to build a mortar can be saved for more infantry units, and zis can be very effective as an indirect fire platform. Plus it is not inferior to Pak.

Thread: Give USF an intermediate AT 9 Nov 2019, 06:54 AM I like Stuart. It can reliably chase infantry. My favourite use is to drain munitions and models from your opponent thanks to its crew. You kill a model or two on the edge of the map and make the unit retreat. You absorb a faust before they retreat and quickly repair. I like Stuart stun shots when it is helping against mediums. When I have a Sherman I can kill pretty much all mediums when Stuart is around. Just like aec and Cromwell. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Zis Barrage9 Nov 2019, 06:44 AM In my opinion this barrage is largely controversial. Zis is a very good at gun (I don't see a difference here with the pak) with a lot of crew members, which gives it great survialiability. It is in the faction where it can be easily manned by conscripts if decrewed. The barrage makes it too potent for its price. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Zis Barrage8 Nov 2019, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2019, 18:50 PMWingZero The Zis barrage number of shells was nerfed and increased in muni cost. I think the AT gun is balanced and if a player spam these abilities you know for damn sure he/she will be muni starved the whole game! Unless he does it effectively and simply kills with it.
