Thread: Pershing ? 6 Jul 2015, 00:40 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2015, 00:14 AMCookiezNcreem Why are you guys acting like the Pershing will be an American KT? It'll simply be an American Panther, but slow,and likely less armor than a panther. Which will be unique and balanced. No doubt. Relic isn't THAT stupid,are they? Even if Pershing turns out to be a true heavy,it's not like axis is limited in At Options. The only reason the IS2 is a problem is the ridiculous front armor it hAs,and the fact that you can abuse the fact that you don't have to tech by spamming them. Which was sort of fixed this patch. They will also likely have a "heavy tank crew" similar to M20 crew, and will simply prevent you from building another until that crew is dead so no popcap abuse. And assuming you'll have to tech for callins by the time Pershing is released, I doubt you'll be seeing giant fleets of jacksons and Pershing rectifying everything, because tech costs are OP. You'll likely need all 3 officers for it. It also will still lose to JTKT+ JP4,or elefant + anything with a 75mm gun, no matter HOW op it manages to be. A special crew wouldn't quite do the trick. You could still decrew, send the crew to its death, call in another and recrew with an RE. There would not to be a more complex limiter in place. Keeping track of when the empty vehicle was on the field or when it was stolen by an enemy faction. The simplest, most elegant solution would be to just disable its crew. Actually, now I think of it... If a Tiger gets abandoned does it still count towards the limit? Could that be used to get around it with some luck? Can heavy tanks even get the abandon crit anymore?

Damage also matters for the PTRS at rifle. The chances of the sniper getting hit by the zook before the rest of the squad fires off a volley and brings him down under 80hp are pretty much zero. Just being within firing range of anything will bring a sniper down a decent amount. I assure you that a model with a zook will never fire at a sniper with over 80hp. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Pershing ? 5 Jul 2015, 08:38 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2015, 08:35 AMMr. Someguy The point is to design a doctrine that won't become the de-facto mandatory USF doctrine. Having a Pershing alone makes the doctrine more attractive than it's counterparts to most players. If it's too useful, you'll see Pershings every game. Talk about stale metagames... Not everyone is a fan of big tanks. As long as the Pershing is tied to tech and thus not ridiculously economic, it should be fine. I know I'll take a Priest over a Pershing any day. In: Lobby

Thread: Pershing ? 5 Jul 2015, 08:17 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2015, 09:42 AMMr. Someguy If there's a Pershing Doctrine, I hope they have it disable Vehicle Crews and M36's. Breakthrough Armour Company: Battle Ready (crews may not exit their vehicles for any reason) Assault Engineers (make up for disabled crews) Aerial Recon (P-47 recon plane lingers over an area) M10 Wolverine (make up for disabled M36) T26E3 Heavy Tank (the keystone of the commander) Now look, it's not that I'd be entirely opposed to a Pershing doctrine that disables vehicle crews. The problem is the way you phrased it, in that this hypothetical doctrine has an "ability" which does nothing but disable crews. If it was something like "Battle Ready: Crews may not exit their vehicles but automatically bail out upon death," or "Battle Ready: Crews may not exit their vehicles but REs are built with vet 2," then I could see it. The Battle Ready you have here isn't even an ability. It does nothing but hurt the user. These commanders only have five spots, and lots of times the difference between a good or bad commander is how many of those five slots are useful. Many people won't use a commander at all if even one of its abilities is poor. Nobody is going to pick a commander where one of those very limited five abilities is not only useless, but actually hurts the user too. Besides that, although I understand why we absolutely cannot allow the Pershing to have a crew, I'd really be wary of using any commander that disabled vehicle crews, especially with nothing given in return. A major part of good USF play is shuffling your crews around and bailing them out to preserve vet. I often take my M20 crew out as soon as its done, replacing it with REs, and then later on replacing it with a major if I don't have an ambulance. Rifles can also be vetted faster by putting them in vehicles, and whenever I successfully save a vehicle's crew I can use them in combat later. They work great as AT troops, have excellent repair utility, and of course it's useful just having another squad on the field for map presence. I can remember one match where I had a vehicle crew that went through three different vehicles. They came in on an AA truck, bailed out of that just in time, then got their hands on a Sherman, bailed out of that when they hit a mine in front of an AT gun, and finally took the helm of a Jackson which they used to take out multiple Tigers. Stories like that are one of the things I really love about CoH, how each battle tells a story (written in the burning carcasses of crashed planes of course), and that's another reason I'd like to avoid the total removal of crews, even just for a single commander.
