Thread: Stuart!24 Apr 2015, 09:10 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2015, 06:10 AMsherlock The Shell Shock ability is 45 munitions. Point blank engine shot is 60 munitions. It's range of 5 is 3 times smaller than an at nade which is more than 2 times less expensive at 25 munitions and doesn't have a high risk of losing the unit associated with it. The 6 seconds long Shell Shock is not nearly long enough to guarantee an escape (even if we ignore that the stuart will target infantry first when Shell Shock is used, which causes a loss of already precious time). In order to try and save the stuart and get an engine shot off one will have to spend 105 munitions or the equivalent of 2 teller mines (or a little less then 2 m20 mines) or 4 at rifle grenades all of which have a higher chance to succeed and cause more damage without taking losses as valuable as a stuart. Topped off with a reasonable chance of it not even working because, as with all tanks when near other tanks in coh2, the stuarts driver may well lose his shit and start pointlessly rotating.

Thread: Demos for axis24 Apr 2015, 08:42 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2015, 22:49 PMAssaultPlazma your original post said exist which implied the US was in some inept and couldnt make any. US had the designed and they all completed trials and were ready for production said production never happened, but I guess its just all semantics. Pershing was a Heavy Tank during WWII and reclassified after WWII because the bar for armor and firepower for tanks had gone up. Saying the Pershing was a medium tanks means both the IS-1 and Tiger I were also mediums as all had comparable firepower armor and roles. Pershing was actually designed as a medium tank, it was reclassified as a heavy during the war as a propaganda tool. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Stuart!23 Apr 2015, 11:09 AM Its a little on the bad side but i've gotten it when going captain but wanting a vehicle on the field. A little more hp, reducing the cost of the abilities, a slight range increase on destroy engine (you know, so it works) and a cost reduction to ~60 fuel and I think it'd be worth pretty decent. Problem is at the moment its supposedly a jack of all trades tank but it relies on its abilities to do anything to vehicles and the abilities are crazy expensive and inconsistent to the point of rarely being worth bothering with. I use it to kill half tracks but you know what would be better at that? any other light tank in the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How do you beat Tankhunter tactics as okw?22 Apr 2015, 12:57 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 04:23 AMmeh This thread is going no where... How isnt it? People have given advice: flakht, panzerfusilliers, luchs. FlakHT is probably the best, I dont think it takes that much micro really. Just keep it behind units so you give yourself a chance, it has really good range. PzFus. + FlakHT into jagdpzIV is what I do. If they get Katyushas get a puma and delay the jagd then try to catch it out. You basically ain't getting a panther with this which is a shame if they go tier3, jagd + a raketen is enough to deal with it though. In: OKW Strategies

Thread: Blob nerf aura17 Apr 2015, 13:06 PM I'd rather see the counters buffed if a change is necessary. Negative zeal or something similar just seems like a messy solution that will inevitably cause more issues then it solves. As for attack move, definitely shouldn't be removed, its incredibly useful at times. If its deemed that a moving armies is op or removes skill just make it so all units at very max range deal next to 0 damage so if someone a-moves their unit it will not engage efficiently until manually controlled. I'm not convinced a change is even needed to a-moving though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Afraid to start ranked cant beat expert bot17 Apr 2015, 08:54 AM Jump in buddy, plenty of inexperienced players to take on. I recommend knowing your build order before you start, its better to adapt in game but i'd save that until you're more comfortable playing vs players and have an idea of timings etc. I'd start like this: soviet (guard motor): 3 conscript, team weapons as required, guards, hold out for T34/85s ost: 3 grenadiers, 1 mg42, 1 pak, pzIV okw: 4 volks (spare manpower on mg34s/raketenwerfers), PZII, Panther usf: 3 rifle, lt, m20, shermans They're far from optimal and will situationally not work at all but they're easy to do and you won't get rolled over in your first few games. Try not to float too much manpower, another infantry squad, some AT guns, infantry healing never hurt. Have fun! its only a game In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Alpha Announcement16 Apr 2015, 15:09 PM Am i the only one who gets wound up when Relic people say stuff along the lines of; get a first hand look at how it all works behind the scenes like they're nailing game balance. Even if you think the game is currently balanced, there are a tiny handful of strats that you do when you want to win. In: COH2 Gameplay
