What a low life. Playing the game purely for ranks. Most players would get entirely bored after using the bug a few times. What is the point of ranks if they are meaningless in the way you obtain them? |

I see; fair enough. I can understand it's really hard to focus on a game and talk at the same time. |

Nice to see live commentary in a real game. Unlike those videos that are just talk with a situation all set up using cheat mod. You can understand all the mechanics in the game, but executing everything and reacting under pressure is where it's really at. |

Well Relic needs a lot of people buying and using the commander to "test" it. I do find the mattress to be too lethal currently, especially when it creates craters for units to bunch up and it covers a very large area.
I don't have the commander myself, but I've used a captured mattress on base when I forced a blob to retreat; instant vet 2 and wiped 4 squads.
Also Zoobee should be ashamed of himself for rank manipulation. He played multiple ~1 min games with a rank ~100 OKW 1v1 account he controlled. |

Late game IR StG44 are really good when there are tons of yellow cover especially defending VPs so they inherently out DPS your opponent 1v1.
Also remember that assault rifles are good mid-close, while SMG such as PPsH and Thomsons will beat it close range. The difference is if they charge to get to close range, they will take losses. |
Interesting how perceptions differ. In my opinion the damage output should in no way get up. It can twoshot most squads on a regular basis. No need to increase its rate of fire. Neither do I agree on the damage soak part. Whenever I try to tank with it I lose it. You mustn´t expose your Tiger for more than two shots. Then you back up to have it repaired for minutes.
Last I saw, the Tiger has a slightly lower armour rating than the Panther, but the Tiger does have a good chunk of health; it takes 7 regular penetrating shots to kill the Tiger (1040 HP) so I see it as a "damage soak." Its gun is fine, but does regular 160 damage. However, nothing (not even KT) can sustain focused AT fire very long. |
LOL 2013 tigerspam. They were so bad back then that one con squad could run circles around one untill they cant throw enought at grenades to destroy it. Not to mention su85s which could outreverse panthers with blitz.
Also tiger is really bad tank ATM, its armor weak and makes it suceptable to RNG death, cost also too hight. Not to mention it cant be used as spearhead at all, 2nd line supporting unit is best you can get out of tiger nowadays.
I was one of the first to use the Tiger when they finished "balancing" it at the end of public beta in 2013. 3 Tiger spearhead on Steppes. All got engine + main gun destroy crit when all T34s rammed it. Good times.
Now it seems to be a damage soak, doing only mediocre damage, but gets nice range bonus with vet. |
What has happen to the Ostheer Tiger tank, might as well call it a paper tiger, by the time it comes out, brit comets and fireflys grate it like cheese.
Make UKF grate again! |
So now the community are making the skins/decals, and the balance changes.
I assume if a third Axis faction is added to the game, it will be created entirely by the community (which would be great news based on how good the balance changes are so far).
Well, it's much, much more likely there are very talented content creators outside Relic than within it. I also like that they admit this with the community balance changes. |

The war would have looked very different if some key decisions were made:
1) annihilation of British expeditionary force at Dunkirk in 1940; it was an utter miracle they survived. Give the finger to Goering.
2) Paid attention to the importance of radar during the battle of Britain in 1940; focus radar stations, not later on the civilian population.
3) Not attacking the Russians in opening a war on two fronts. German statesman Otto von Bismarck said his no.1 rule: don't fuck with the Russians. Germany as a country is hemmed in by neighbouring countries; they fought on two fronts in WWI as well.
4) Hitler agreeing to rush toward Moscow in 1941.
5) Japanese destruction of the US carrier fleet, which were absent on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbour December 7 1941.
6) Germany focus on high-quantity tank production rather than quality cf. Soviet and US mass manufacturing doctrine. Like in CoH2 if you stall for a KT, you're probably gonna get rekt by tank swarm later on. |
