Thread: Snipers20 Aug 2015, 17:21 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2015, 17:13 PMGdot Lets say the allies field 3 snipers total. Thats 6 total sniper models. Even if the axis field the same number of sniper teams, they are still at a 2:1 disadvantage. The counter to a sniper should be another sniper. Relying on poor sniper-play or RNG mortar is weak. How about getting something like a clowncar or a 222 as sniper counter kappa? In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Sturmtiger heavy or not? #heavy rule new patch18 Jun 2015, 19:17 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2015, 11:30 AMUlaire Minya Going off my alpha experience where I built 2 KT's in one game, it's callins only. Second, a player can only call in one example of a particular vehicle. Let's say there's a hypothetical Soviet commander with the IS2, ISU152, and KV2. A player would be able to have one of each on the field, but no more than one. O that sounds way better to me, but the notes weren't very clear so i was scared of losing my lovely sturmtiger In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Sturmtiger heavy or not? #heavy rule new patch18 Jun 2015, 08:28 AM Dear Relic, First I want to congratulate you guys with the new patch. It is awesome finally some love for the stug and the SU-76 . I also think that the new rule: one heavy on the field for each player, is a good decision. It will give the mediums and the lighter vehicles a new live. There is only one thing. Why include the Sturmtiger to this rule? I'm really thankful that you showed some love by decreasing its veterancy requirements, but I think the Sturmtiger should not be included to this new rule. First of all the Sturmtiger isn't a tank, its a really heavy mechanised arty piece. It is not a tank, it also doesn't act like a tank since most of the time it is out of action bcs it is reloading. And the few times it is in action it mostly scares of blobs without doing actual damage or shooting(totally fine with me). Secondary the Sturm tiger is not a heavy tanks bcs of its cost if you ask me. 560mp and 160 fuel. If you compare this to the cost of a really heavy tank it is actually not a lot of resources. Also the OKW is a faction that heavy leans on heavy tank usage thanks to the design. So if you want to build a Sturmtiger that immediately means that you cant get a Kingtiger or a Jagdtiger anymore which both are crucial to counter for example a Jackson spam. In my opinion there is a big difference between the Sturmtiger and the Kingtiger&Jagdtiger. The King and the Jagd are most of the time when they are on the field in action. They have a big influence and presence on the battlefield because they are able to continually be fighting. The Sturmtiger has only some influence on the field for a few seconds when it is scaring of blobs the rest of the time it is reloading or waiting. So in a faction that leans heavily on heavy tank usage, it is a big gap in the power of your army if you choose a Sturmtiger (which is still really useful but not as good as a heavy) which makes you unable to get a Jagd or a King. I think this problem mainly plays a role in 1v1 and 2v2 bcs in 3v3 and 4v4 you are able to field at least each one of them once at the same time. I'm not an axis fanboy or a noob i'm just a decent player who doesn't like to choose between a heavy mechanised arty piece and a heavy tank, because choosing one makes you unable to get the other one without losing the first one, and both are really useful bcs they own a high speciality in the job they do. So Relic I beg you don't do this to us. In game it is still classified as a medium tank since it gets the medium tank skin I propose keep it that way.

Thread: joint operations when to use it?15 Apr 2015, 10:12 AM A few games ago i had an awsome match on the map ( i believe it was) Bistrya voda or something. me and my mate ignored the only fuel point in the south of the map but went straight top for the vp's and ammo points. bcs we thought we would be run over soon by the allies if we went south so our plan was to fortify north. And i thought this commander was really useful for that. And it was because we didn't get run over by a classic riflemen blob + shocks followed by is'2s and jacksons. Now i got a bit interested in this commander bcs i like to play defensive (not to camp but just a defensive strat) which is almost impossible in this game nowadays. So my questions is when is this commander useful and what are the best ways (and maps) to use it and do you guys like it or not and why? In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Lack of credible defensive option12 Apr 2015, 12:47 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2015, 11:53 AMJohnnyShaun I don't understand you guys who said it would be too campy. Nobody answered about : upgrade tank with sandbags, ambushed arty piece, crew soldiers on tank, grenade bounce ... it's not a "campy way". I agree that bunkers would be a bit campy, but, we already have "bunkers" which are really crappy, i only said we could have some different kind of bunkers at different cost (could be really expensive) Tanks like brummbar/sturmtiger/AVRE was designed to be "fortification destrutors" I feel that it would make a more versatile gameplay, and not so "campy" like yo guys said. It's like you want to play at LoL or SC2 on coh2 : "NO RNG, NO DEFENSIVE, JUST BLITZ+FLANK+15MINWINKAPPALOL". We are playing a WW2 game, don't forget that. By the way, i proposed some mobile feature so .. I totally agree with you, some more emplacements would be really nice. a new way to fortyfie your position would be great. It can counter the blob problem in this game bcs nowaday if you want to win the most easy way is to get a blob. and those emplacements can be counterd by arty from the allies and the sturm panzer and the sturm tiger from the axis. It also brings back the role of arty in the game and the role of those 2 under used tanks. They might should be an upgrade to the base buildings : the more expensive base building you got the more stronger (and expensive) emplacement you get acces to.
