Due to its much better AOE and almost 2 sec faster ROF it has a higher chance of decrewing the leIG with 1-2 hits while the leIG may need up to 5 hits to decrew the pack.
So it's obvious which one will win the engagement. |
It's OK. |
Problem: - USF is a faction which isn't struggling in the AI department. Their baseline inf can rip apart German wussies and give each one 2 zooks and they can hard-counter any medium vehicles as well, their supposed hard-counters.
The pack howie is possibly the best piece of arty in game, wiping at least 3 models with each shell, hard countering the ISG, destroying OKW trucks, pin the HMG42, wipe out GrW34s and has 2 awesome abilities and could be used as an occasional AT.
Now all is good and well, but the price is way too low for such a potent and game changing unit. The stats could see some adjustments as well.
Solutions:
- Suggested stats changes: Minimum distance from 40 to 50
Maximum distance from 80 to 75
Penetration from 85 to 45
AOE Radius from 6 (WTF!?) to 3
Damage near from 2.5 to 1.25
- Or; Cost adjustment: Cost changed to 600, pop cap changed to 14
It still will be a potent and reliable mobile arty without any cheesy wipes or breaking OKW core design feature.

This isn't calling him a bad player, rather, just kinda a dick sometimes.

Yup watched the whole game. You had great micro with all of your units until a second Kv8 popped out of nowhere and almost got half of your units. And that vet3 shock eating STG-obers like a sushi. |
The first time I tried this unit in game was when I got close to an unaware PAK wall, started the barrage and realized that the paks rotated and faced the suxton without losing a model. 4 shells landed directly on their head. |
And that relates to numerical advantage how again?
Or at this point you're simply spamming random soviet wins without telling the whole story(because screenshot of a single frame of the game means even less then loading screen with player names)?
Don't ask dumb questions. Read the OP and try your best to see if you find any correlation. Problem: The SOVs can hardcounter and wipe any OKW unit right from the start. The shock frontline is still broken and I'm not sure why it's not banned again during this tournament, Shocks eat up Falls, Sturmpios and obers. Kv8 is like the crocodile while costing a lot less and arriving much earlier. IS2 is also way too hard to take down and JPiv does not work on most 1vs1 maps. Con's mid/long range damage is too high for a 6 man unit. OKW is supposed to rely on a few 'elite' units to counter the masses of spammed inf/vehicles. But what elite unit?! Jagers which are basically a stylish looking version of ostruppen? Falls which die while just walking or looking at shocks? Volks which are equipped with waterguns? Or the puma which dies to smal stuff while being total garbage against inf and medium vehicles while costing more than a t34.
Solutions: - Accuracy: Make the elite unit more accurate and worth their cost. Such as falls, JLI, fussils. Obers are also too expensive and take a long time to vet up. A non-vet obers loses against penals.
- Faster veterancy acheivment: The veterancy requirements are also too high and probably more suitable for hours long 4vs4 rolfstomps. What is the point of 5 levels of veterancy when they barely hit vet 3.
- Remove the fuel penalty: Now that the game is moving towards symmetrical balance and SOV/USF got their lategame (cheap t34, %100 penetration buff for su76, m10 durability, cheaper CPT, increased pen for the m36, unkillable vet 3 RM/cons) significantly buffed, I think the fuel penalty is rather unnecessary and crippling and taking away the fun factor from gameplay.
- Jagdtiger/KoenigsTiger:These guys are a tad expensive and the latter went under a massive armor nerf without any cost adjustment. Reduce the cost for both, the jagdtiger is not accessible even at 245 fuel.
- Shock Frontline:About time you guys remove the most broken doctorine in game. It's amazing how noobs and pros only use this one as it grants cheap free wins. You know all the good stuff in one package. Imagine having an OKW doc which included a call in Konigstiger, the ostwind, HMG42 and falls and CloseThePocket arty.

This is game, MVgame. The IS2 wiped a CMD panther, survived multiple R43shots while being focused and now is falling back like a proud beast. |
