Well, I'm not. It could be aquired with vet, done through upgrade (similar to doctrine sherman paid with fuel and mp after last tech, for example). I don't understand why factions that have access to snares such as satchels and ability to equip any unit with hand held at don't have to face 60 range tank destroyers form ostheer side. Having buffed allied armour and not allowing ostheer something so basic is more "delusional". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehr weak penetration18 Oct 2019, 07:34 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2019, 07:28 AMKatitof Well, you can start petitioning for removal of panther in favor of buffing StuG. Panther doesn't even need to be replaced! We can just make the tier cheaper, so it'll be easier to call-in heavies and get remaining units. Because as long as panther exists, neither ost nor okw will ever get long range td with high pen that isn't doctrinal super heavy. I think there is a better solution. Give stug range 60. Don't change anything else. You could make it a bit more expensive. Generally, range is the most important factor. Stug has no turret. Should be perfectly counterable. Most players don't realise that in tank battles the ability to make your opponent dive is the most lethal, if you have more range your opponent will have to dive to even have a chance of penetrating your armour. A diving vehicle does not have a line of sight - the defending vehicle will have it, and will shoot at the attacker while the diving vehicle may have problems even connecting shots. On top of that there will be other units supporting the kiting unit hitting the diver. This is when most damage is done and often the diving vehicle will get snared (sometimes with satchels).

Thread: Wehr weak penetration17 Oct 2019, 21:45 PM Ok. There are so many stats that probably the best idea is to test it anyway. Maybe we should have sth like tightrope sort of tests with like 10 same vehicles shooting at each other just to check. If each of us bprovided one video we could finally settle the keyboard war. I'm especially intereated in say 10 ost p4s shooting at 10 shermans medium distance. That could be ten pairs at different distances. In: COH2 Balance

Comet is potent agains inf and panther. 1v1 panther will usually win but with very little health. One piat shot and its toast. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehr weak penetration17 Oct 2019, 20:59 PM What about comet vs panther? Which is better? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehr weak penetration17 Oct 2019, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2019, 20:41 PMthedarkarmadillo Claim- Ost has low pen Evidence - no they dont Rebuttal-what about target acquisition and rate of fire and turret rotation? Straws- grasped at Probably about time to shut this thread down. I think it's served its purpose... What ever it happened to be... but that is the key of the problem - many players feel certain faction uderperform, when it is the axis the threads are too quickly closed or laughed at.

Thread: How are Infantrysections since patch?17 Oct 2019, 20:40 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2019, 20:34 PMblvckdream After playing some UKF in the last days there is one thing I really don't understand. Everybody agreed that UKF being overly static was cancerous to play against. Now they made Infantry Sections completely incapable of attacking anything because they die too easily out of cover. So the problem of being static (something that nobody) liked has become even worse. So what is the point of it? My understanding of the problem is this: you can't make emplacements too powerful cause they will become cancerous. On the other hand, when you retreat you leave them behind bcause you can't retreat them and that is how you bleed too much as uyour opponent will just destroy them and it is gg. Solution: make the new ability maybe refund more mp for dismantling them; if the maths and how quickly it happens is done right, it might be a nice way of building non overpotent emplacements but quick dismantling of them rather than loosing them might be a faction saver and allow for some cool UKF dynamics.

Thread: Wehr weak penetration17 Oct 2019, 20:13 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2019, 15:46 PMgbem you mean this? Churchill Croc/AVRE : 290 Churchill : 240 Comet: 290 Pershing: 270 IS2: 375 ISU152: 340 KV1: 270 KV2: 300 KV8: 260 vs Brumbar front/side armor 240, vet 288 Panther front/side armor 260, vet 286 Tiger front/side armor: 300 well youve ignored a large number of axis armor KT 375 ele 400 JT 525 JP4 230 youve also posted penetration data that did not support your claim of wehrmacht having weaker penetration... the panther is tied with the jackson in terms of penetration Panther: 260/240/220 Jackson: 260/240/220 SU85: 240/230/220 FF: 260/240/210 Well - what about rate of fire, target aquistion connected with turret rotation speed, accuracy, damage on deflection, range, etc. I understand he posted stuff based on his "feel" of the game. It is pretty normal not being able to desribe it. What he probably meant is the situation when you take into account all the factors. The result will probably be that panther is not as fearsome as it seems to be and does not stand up to the myth that is is so good. Basically all the buffs to allied tanks and reductions to axis (especially) ost tanks mean that all of them are really comparable. Yet, wehen you include the price/value parameters often the higher price of a panther and other axis vehicles might not be justified. They just perform not much better to cheaper tanks. Tbh often they are not that siginficantly worse in real combat situations considering their price and tech requirements. Especially, when you look at how powerful they can be against tanks and infantry, and how many extra abilities they have. Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2019, 15:46 PMgbem youre also ignoring AT gun penetration... where OST is tied with UKF Pak40: 210/200/190 6pdr: 210/200/190 Zis-3: 200/190/180 rak43: 200/190/180 57mm: 150/140/130 and you are ignoring rate of fire and gun's arcs as well as how durable their crew is. Pak is only marginally better (which means almost nothing in a real game scenario - 10 more penetration - ridiculous), while othe at guns have wider arcs of fire and often higher rate of fire. Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2019, 15:46 PMgbem and of course medium penetration... where OST has the highest long range penetration and decent midrange penetration... crom: 135/120/105 M4: 140/120/100 P4: 125/115/110 T-34: 120/100/80 and again the differences are too tiny to be significant. Rate of fire, speed, turret riotation will be more important here. Again the price of p4 might not be justified here, the price of a panther might also be just too high. Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2019, 15:46 PMgbem and infantry AT... where OST/OKW win outright panzerschreck: 180/170/160 bazooka: 130/120/110 PIAT: 130/116/110 PTRS: 100/85/70 ...and again that is forgetting too many "details" on your part. Rate of fire is higher on the bazooka and and ptrs, there are different stats for bazookas on elite squads. Also you are ignoring the fact that accuracy is worse on shrecks, and that you can only equip the most expensive inf squads with them, while allies get many more squads with those hand held at options, so the density of them will be much higher. They also deal dmg even on deflection, etc. You are not drawing the full picture here. Think of satchels, for exaple that prevent dives to get those long range units. Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2019, 15:46 PMgbem i can humiliate you further by delving deeper into armor comparisons aswell... but the amount of information might overwhelm your insignificant mind... substandard penetration my arse... caps my arse... stfu and l2p that is just impolite, please be polite to your game commrades In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Short barreled p4 for OST?16 Oct 2019, 21:14 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2019, 21:06 PMTiger Baron No idea but I'm guessing it's fairly time consuming and complex.

Thread: Short barreled p4 for OST?16 Oct 2019, 20:30 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2019, 20:14 PMTiger Baron Oh believe me I've been trying for quite a while now and you can pretty much guess the answer. There are just not enough people crying enough and loud enough in order for Relic to actually listen. Is it easy to do stuff like that? I mean new models. In: COH2 Balance
