The Katyusha has a lot of RANGE, you don't move it to the very front of the line. It is an artillery piece that is meant to be used behind the line. The OKW Walking Stuka dies to anything with a cannon too and it costs a ton....
i know both the walking stuka and the katyusha are meant to be behind enemy lines BUT the walking stuka happens to wipe more often then a katyusha at long range and also survive 1 tank shots(320hp) unlike the katyusha(160),(both units are ok just made a little comparison).
anyways this new tech tree just made T4 useless for what it offers(even if you need to tech there late game just to survive) |
The maxim is fine, it is cheap can come early and with 6 men is very survivable, plus the suppression boost helped it out a lot. The 50cal could see some survivability love through either a 5th man or removal of its received accuracy.
The problem with giving allies MGs that are just as good as the Germans is that their early game spam can cap points then their MGs could make an unpassable wall. Supported by their early game vehicles and the Axis factions wouldn't stand a chance.
I have also seen plenty of Allied blobs be able to run through MG fields to flank them. Riflemen blob can deal overwhelm MG42s and the MG43 has peanuts for damage.
well sure they shouldnt be spammable,if we buff more the suppression of the maxim then increase the price i and many other players wouldnt mind paying 290-300mp for a decent HMG.
i am glad we agree with the durability of the .50cal needs buffs(personaly this is the best option other then make it instapin enemy blobs) |
It wasnt in an Ok spot at all... it arrived too early where weapon teams and infantry are key and sent the axis players armies running to the base before their first tank arrived.
Its area denail and squad wipe potential and range is far better than its counterpart the panzerwerfer.
Also... the SU85 is still an amazing TD especially with its rate of fire increase with vet. + Doctrinal T34/85 isnt bad either  T4 units are all highly viable and they STILL arrive approx 120 fuel before Ostheer T4 does, so im not sure what your issue is.
I cant even tell what youre saying.
Katy used to arrive an Hour after stukka? Do you honestly expect anyone to take anything you say seriously?
I think i lose abit of brainpower every time i read one of your ill thought out ramblings you call posts.
a katyusha is a problem to anyone who is playing defencivly,it has 160 hit points and small arms fire can damage it,anything that has a cannon kill it very fast. |
Blobs is part of any RTS Game, it will be more simple to micro, but its a huge risk.
- SC2 : Banelings/Siege Tanks, Colossus (etc) says hi to blobs
- AOE : Catapult say Hi to blob
- C&C Generals : A lot of aoe weapon available say hi to blob
- Coh2: MG's, Artys, Mines, Demos (etc) say Hi to blob
So just use the tools that exist in the game...
i agree BUT allied HMGs dont do their job properly,their too weak and cant suppress a huge blob,they also die by blobs(lmgs,wipe mortar nades).
while you an try to keep alive the maxim with conscripts(and make it deadly),the american m2hb .50cal dies too fast even with green cover.
this makes counterblobing with the allies a mess |
Much like the USF smoke, you can use it for what ever purpose you need.
the USF smoke happens to be more versatile |
Do you even know why they don't fight infantry?
A tank destroyer or tank hunter is a type of armoured fighting vehicle, armed with a direct-fire artillery gun or missile launcher, with limited operational capacities and designed specifically to efficiently engage enemy armoured vehicles in a cost-effective manner
Or why Infantry support tanks are good at fighting infantry and not so tanks?
Infantry support tanks were designed to support foot soldiers in an attack. To achieve this, the vehicles were generally heavily armoured to allow them to operate in close concert with infantry even under heavy fire. The extra armour came at the expense of speed, which was not an issue when supporting relatively slow-moving infantry
infantry support tanks either help infantry deal with enemy tanks or enemy infantry while also taking damage,i dont see where you got the idea that they fight only infantry
Or what armour does?
A tank is a large type of armoured fighting vehicle with tracks, designed for front-line combat
in company of heroes 2 we have alot of armor options(light armor,medium armor,heavy armor,tank destroyers are the most common of them all)
Or do you prefer putting broad labels on everything because what is history?
i explain what tanks and tank destroyers do with the help of history(just like company of heroes does to explain what each unit does)

The problem was that Katyushas arrived too early (possibly 11 mins) and there was no real reason to go T3 before...
There now is a reason and the katy arrives at a more balanced time.
Gameplay before as soviets was stale, lets not go back to that. They are much more fun to play now.
katyusha was balanced and in a ok spot,now it still good but why bother going T4 just to bring katyusha...

I was incorrect in mentioning blitz, it's a hammer ability. But several tanks as I have mentioned have smoke as part of vet or just standard.
the churchill smoke doesnt allow the tank to escape but cover the advance of your infantry |
CoH2 isn't exactly like real life, the Panther doesn't function like a Medium Tank in game, and the Easy Eight doesn't so much either. Both vehicles are geared toward fighting other Tanks, the Easy Eight is geared toward fighting Medium Tanks and the Panther is geared to fighting any Tank.
tank hunters or tank destroyers as they are more often called have one weakness,they dont fight AT ALL infantry,the panther and the easy eight(which i have used alot)are pretty good at fighting infantry and tanks,both units ingame are called medium tanks and not tank hunter as you call them. |
Yes actually, the Sherman Easy Eight is like a Medium Tank Hunter, it can battle all Axis Medium Tanks with an advantage. You can tell by the higher armour and penetration, like the Panther. The Panther is just the best Tank Hunter, having excellent armour, penetration, and health.
the easy eight is a medium tank just like the panther make sure you learn that while your playing |
