Flame hetzer says hi

Mate you just compared the best flamer tank with the worst flamer tank.

Im not even kidding, go test the flame hetzer a bit more in case u didnt after its buff in DBP. Go med HQ into t4, no flak HT so u can rush the hetzer. It's a cheap unit that is much faster than KV8 and croc and it wipes out an AT gun or a clumped squad in 1-2 bursts, so u can steamroll ur opponent if he doesnt have tank destroyers yet.

And also, since it'a a flamer tank it doesnt rely on any lucky RNG rolls in order to kill stuff unlike 99% of the units in CoH2

This map does not have many issues IMO, however....

The buildings that cover the cutoffs for the fuel points are extremely dominant. Multiple windows are facing the cutoff and they are made of cement as well. There are windows on all 4 sides as well. Basically you must hold them at all costs which is kinda annoying and limits dynamic play on this map.

Not only that, but...

there are also 2 buildings (1 on each side) that are essential for holding the fuel point. All together limits dynamic play even further cuz those buildings are way too important and effective for ignoring them. This also makes the map kinda unbalanced for factions that are not that good at clearing buildings unless you pick a certain commander (UKF, USF, OKW).


My suggested options to improve this map are:

1) swap the cement buildings at the cutoffs (pictures 1 & 2) with a wooden structure, for example a wooden church like the one on semosky left to the middle VP or the one on General Mud above the right VP.

2) Replace the houses that cover the fuel (pictures 3 & 4) with heavy cover, e. g. a destroyed-tank-wreck.

3) remove the windows on the cement cutoff-houses that cover the side that is facing the middle of the map to make HMGs inside those houses less dominant and flanking more accessible

4) add more heavy cover (e. g. truck wrecks) around both cut-off houses, especially on the north side. The south player already has a little truck wreck near the southern cutoff house which makes the house a little bit less frustrating to deal with if the opponent captured it, but the north player only has a truck wreck which is located on the left side of the northern cut-off house, on the northern side of the house there is only a little fence that includes minimal heavy cover.


Needless to say it should be enough to pick ONE option.

This thread is so FailFish lol, but what else can you expect from most .org threads?

Katy wasnt nerfed in last balance patch.

this.


By the way, the Katyusha isnt weak at all. IMO it definitely belongs to the top 2 of rocket arty cuz of its consistency. Some say the Panzerwerfer is better, but IMO the Panzerwerfer is more situational. Pwerfer is better at getting wipes on short and mid range and it's pretty effective vs mobile infantry as well, but it kinda sucks on long range. Katyusha covers a very big area and has a lot rockets equipped that deal a lot damage. The Stuka is the best rocket arty in the game vs weapon teams, shutting them down completely and arriving on the battlefield the earliest out of all arty pieces, but it's pretty useless vs mobile infantry. Land matress and Calliope are pretty meh nowadays.
