What about the 5 fuel difference between the Panzer IV J and Easy Eight? Yet the Easy Eight beats 3/4 times?
Nothing changed of course, except the buffing of it's primary counterpart, triple buffing of an already superior unit, and addition of the British Forces and their army of superior tanks. But no nothing's changed.
let me ask you this..
why does the Pershing "Heavy" tank which comes at 13 cp from a doctrinal commander and costs 600mp and 230fuel and also is limited to 1 LOSE to the cheaper non tech Panther that also DOESNT HAVE a limit of 1?
Because it costs 15 fuel more yet hardly does better than a Sherman. Yet for 15 fuel more than the Panzer IV you get the Easy Eight which utterly dominates it. The Panzer IV is either overpriced or under-performing in relation to these units.
so a doctrinal expencive tank beats the non doctrinal Panzer 4 and it also costs more? sounds reasonable
on a side note all other medium tanks are mostly the same(sherman got only a penetration buff while t-34 became cheaper but delayed)
so nothing changed,if you expect yourPanzer 4 to penetrate Comets,Pershings or IS-2s and do everything then NOPE i must stop your dream there.
you can outplay the leig with pak howie pretty easy, barrage range is 160 for pak howie and 100 for leig, just dont make it a auto attack duel..
used it today.....
in all honesty the Pack Howitzer IS NOT a counter,the barrage range you speak of has TERRIBLE accuracy making it as sayed in my first post luck based,so if you ever wiped an ISG its by luck NOT cause its reliable counter,with the mortar halftruck however you can atleast fend it off
well I owe my 2v2 rank to the MHT.
the normal shells/barrge are meh,but the phosphorus is awsum
Forces the LEIG(and any other units around the battlegroup,mind you.) to move,and makes the models easier to kill regardless if they move or dont move, as it whittles away a bit of health even if they move the LEIG immediately on impact..
THe only thing is it has lowish range,so you gotta fight for a forward fire base within range of the battlegroup and then just whittle them aaway
seems infantry company is THE counter to ISG for USF.
will use the halftruk more often then against those annoying ISGs
For being the M26 Pershing, I expected its gun to be a bit more powerful.
Currently it sounds like the Pershing is using the Sherman Dozer 105mm for the main gun when it should sound much closer to the M36 Jackson which has a pretty epic SFX. It may get a little confusing as to what's shooting at you, but it could just be slightly more dulled/without the mechanisms working like how the 88mm works for the Elephant versus Pak 43.
Not only that, but the Pershing should have a unique voice or at least hire an actor to do voicelines for USF heavy armour if there are ever more plans. Heck, I would do it for Relic and for free if I had a good studio. Since I live in the same city as the studio I should record all the stuff and drop it off at their front desk
Miragefla's example of the Pershing:
Also its MGs are currently MG34s and not .30cals that needs to be fixed
cool video and i agree,the m26 pershing doesnt sound unique.
the barrage of the pak howie has 160 range, the leig got a range of 100. dont try to auto attack duel a leig, barrage it from safe distance constantly, you may not decrew it but it will be a 100% bleed every barrage. after barrage you can continue to rightclick/face gun in the direction of battle
edit: you may not flank it but keep in mind pak howie has a much larger aoe, combined with the low squad models generally on axis side you often have 1 shoot= 3/4 members of a squad dead.
will give it a try again then now and see how it goes
im only rank 400 after 10 games with usf but i get 1 pak howie every game and it will hit vet 100% of the time (except the enemy surrenders before that). needs some micro but with controll group its piss easy to attack move from time to time or manually barrage/rightclick squads.
only counter ive met so far was panzerwerfer from ost, but i could just recrew it evreytime and repair the gun. it is fucking strong.
hm i didnt want to argue with people without playercard anymore..
well if you can give me a tip on how to use them with success against the ISG would be helpful.
for me the pack doesnt work cause the ISG outranges it and fires fasters,plus the enemy can flank my packs while i can not duo to the flak base.
im having greater success with the howie tbh, the big aoe and the small squadsize of axis just makes these awesome 3/4 models with 1 shoot instant retreat situation. i feel bad for them honestly.
well the howi for me doesnt work at all,expencive and the only way to kill a ISG is by pure luck
