Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - General Feedback3 Apr 2021, 18:15 PM Sure. Remove the best known and most popular tank of WW2 from 4 commanders and gut Ostheer's core doctrine choice. Why the hell not. All for the sake of "muh diversity". In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback3 Apr 2021, 14:19 PM So I was going to make a mod myself to test out my idea about the Ostheer King Tiger but remembered there was already something like it in the workshop so I just decided to test out, here's the link to the mod workshop item for anybody else that's interested in trying it out for himself: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1602620176 And here's my video: I have edited the announcement voiceline in from this video gracefully provided by GachiGasm to simulate how it would sound when actually implemented in the game: https://youtu.be/49AInridex8?t=1087 And to be honest it fits right in with all of the sounds and everything really works perfectly. You pretty much can't tell it even comes from the OKW, well except for the announcement voice line lol. In: COH2 Balance

Different shape of the mantlet and visibly thinner front and side armour really stand out. Yeah, try noticing the barely visible difference when you're in the middle of combat zoomed all the way out and stuff exploding everywhere. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback3 Apr 2021, 12:12 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2021, 11:30 AMTygrys Well I would be very anal about it too because it would look really bad if that's what would have been done. The game's not in a really good state so I'd take an average quality Jumbo model than nothing. Voice lines aren't an issue since it's still a Sherman and I'm not 100% sure but both Jackson and Wolverine use generic tank destroyer voice lines without specifically stating what TD they are. You would only notice it if you were to fully zoom down and then angle the camera. Otherwise you can't tell if it's an actual Jumbo model or not because it looks so similar to the 76 Sherman but with the 75mm gun, as it was in real life as well. Here's an example in game: In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback3 Apr 2021, 10:57 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2021, 10:43 AMKatitof That wasn't your point. You've claimed, specifically, they can't be in due to low amount produced. Examples I gave clearly say otherwise. Personally, I would love to have jumbo instead of pershing in game, but we have what we have and its not going to change. I'm not really going to travel down the rabbit hole of your specifics since I know exactly what you're trying to do. There is an obvious difference between an armored car and AA vehicle that's used as an infantry counter and a heavily armored tank that should be able to bounce even the heaviest of shells at certain points. Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2021, 10:52 AMTygrys I thought it was obvious from some time, especially since they seem to be taking into consideration ideas from people who go around threads about allies just to say "this unit needs to be adjusted" which obviously in other words means "I hate this unit and I want it nerfed". Speaking of the Jumbo what's so hard about adding new models to the game? I remember mods in CoH1 had lots of new units. Did relic just never release proper modding tools for CoH2? Relic disabled model editing and importing to sell their DLC back in 2013 and haven't bothered to enable them back in. Plus the modding tools haven't been updated for several patches now. The closest thing we can have to a Jumbo model in the game is by "cutting" the gun barrel of the 76mm Sherman model but some people want to be very picky about it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback3 Apr 2021, 10:42 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2021, 10:19 AMKiwiBirb The Elephant is a 70 range limited to 1 heavy tank destroyer, it has very little in common with the Jagdpanzer which is 60 range and limited to one. The king tiger and tiger do have their differences, and they are not small ones, as you have pointed out. Seeing the Jagdpanzer swapped before the king tiger makes more sense to me though as it provides more of a difference to current Ostheer units thank the KT. And there is no historical accuracy with the game really. There are KV2s who’s las combat was in 1943 fighting King tigers who first saw combat in 1944. And, Ostheer has the Ostwind of which only ~53 were built, in very late 1944, as a stock unit. Safe to say, historical accuracy is not a consideration :- p I'm guessing you mean the Jagdpanzer IV is not limited to 1 only? And I agree with the historical accuracy, but I'm keeping it in line with the theme of the doctrine as it was requested for the New Commanders about an year or so ago as well so at least it somewhat makes sense when you choose a commander and what theme it follows. And again, nothing against the Jagpanzer IV, but I'm not sure if it will fit with the current voice lines while for the KT it'd be easier like I've already mentioned. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback3 Apr 2021, 10:01 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2021, 09:41 AMKiwiBirb Why the King tiger? Ostheer already has a heavy tank, the Tiger. And, The tiger Ace is already very similar to the king tiger, as it has spearhead. If any one unit is going to be swapped with OKW, should it not be the Jagdpanzer IV? It would bring a lot more diversity to the table, Ostheer does not have a 60 range tank destroyer. Tldr Ostheer already has a heavy tank, so why add the KT Ostheer does not have a 60 range TD, add the Jagdpanzer IV? The OKW already had the King Tiger as well but they added the Tiger to it so why not? More faction diversity in what options you have, plus like I said it wouldn't be the same unit but a unique one with it's own new special abilities that are nowhere else to be found in Ostheer. As far as a 60 range TD goes, then what is the Elefant/Ferdinand exactly? But overall I agree with you on the Jagdpanzer IV, I just don't really know a lot about it, where it was deployed and so forth while with the KT there's the theme of the 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion being transferred with their King Tigers from Normandy over to the Eastern Front in Hungary and it fits with Mobile Defense in that regard at least of having OKW things be transferred over to Ost. While the Tiger Ace is pretty much just a regular Tiger but with some more HP from what I know, starts at Vet 1, costs more and has Self-repair, can't upgrade to an MG and so forth. While a King Tiger would have a bit more armor, would be slower, somewhat the same price so again, they're not going to be the same unit and they're going to fit different strategies and tactics. If you want to use a KT as a regular Tiger I mean good luck with that lol. Tiger is more balanced in terms of speed, armor and armament while the KT is heavier and slower, like a fortress/bunker on tracks, again fitting the "Mobile" part of "Defense". Edit: Forgot to mention, the King Tiger could use the Tiger/generic heavy tank voices for the Ostheer similar to the OKW Tiger, not sure if it can be done for the Jagdpanzer IV in the same way.

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback3 Apr 2021, 09:34 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2021, 09:33 AMLewka Yeah I agree. I feel like the puma comes in way too late. I was discussing with some CoH2 players and they say what's the point in getting the puma from mobile defense? By the time you reach 5cp you have enough fuel for a panzer 4 ______ I like the changes to the G43 upgrade for grenadiers, however I feel like VSL grens are not going to be used as much now. IMO you still need to be fighting at range with VSL grens and they no longer have their survivability bonus. Maybe they should get 2 stg44s instead of just one? idk I'm a noob so don't take my opinion too seriously Yeah that's why I decided to make the KT suggestion. I'll throw in my idea here again of an Ostheer King TIger for one of their doctrines like Mobile Defense or Festung Armor as Sander said: Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2021, 16:45 PMTiger Baron Hello, this is my suggestion based on observations for a new addition as a unit to the Ostheer commanders in the next update. Now my idea was originally revolving around giving a unique King Tiger to the Mobile Defense Doctrine as it already has an OKW lend-lease sort of theme going for it and plus after the Puma changes and now also the removal of the Osttruppen it loses it's appeal even more if you ask me, but it could also be placed in other doctrines as well I suppose. This could be an Ace or Command variant of the tank with an S-mine launcher, similar to the Sturmtiger's one which would be a new ability for the Ostheer and also a smoke pod ability similar to the Sherman's one. The reason for these 2 abilities being that the King Tiger, like the late Tiger Ausf. E and Panther Ausf. Gs had this little contraption mounted on top of the turret: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahverteidigungswaffe Without trying to pronounce it's German name, it's basically a small turret mounted grenade type launcher that was operated by the loader using a periscope inside the turret where he was safe. He could load and fire either a smoke or s-mine type explosive grenade, as well as a flare one but I guess that's not really needed here (?). As for the theming, King Tigers, like Tigers, were for the most part put into Heavy Tank Battalions, the Wehrmacht ones numbering from 501 to 511th, the Waffen SS ones from 101st to 103rd and there were also side units that used these tanks like an organic battalion of the Grossdeutschland Division, a company of the Panzer Lehr and a bunch of other riff-raff units. Kurt Knispel, the top tank ace still in the world was part of one of the previously mentioned Heavy Tank Battalions of the Wehrmacht, the 503rd which was deployed first to Normandy in 1944 in anticipation of Operation Overlord, and then redeployed to the Eastern Front in Hungary where it was renamed to the Feldherrnhalle Heavy Tank Battalion, part of the Division and later Panzerkorps of the same name. So it makes sense in the theme of the doctrine being OKW troops and material being transferred from the West to the East in that regard at least. Anyway, it could maybe replace the Command Panzer IV or the Osttruppen instead of the Observation post instead in my opinion. Welp, that's about it. Just wanted to throw my idea out there for people to toy around with maybe for the Mobile Defense or other doctrines possibly for the Ostheer. Cheers. Maybe it could even have a unique toggle "Command mode" where the Commander pops out of the hatch but it decreases reload and accuracy but buffs infantry or other tanks around it? He can be shot tho which would mean it can be countered and so it's a risk-reward thing. I mean again just more unique stuff to make it an almost entirely new unit compared to the OKW KT. So the line-up of it's abilities would be something like: Fire S-mine launcher (like Sturmtiger), fire smoke pods (similar to Sherman), fire flares maybe even(?), it'd be something new for Ost again. Commander could be an upgrade that would be exclusive with the MG pintle mount and if you decide to go with him you gain the Command mode. Blitz could be a vet 3 ability then or something.
