Thread: Usf Rifle Company14 Jan 2019, 17:03 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 16:20 PMddd First: you still ignore the fact that usf doesnt need another tank destroyer. 76mm will beat p4, sure but jackson will do it too and they both have terrible anti infantry capabilities so whats the point in turning sherman into tank destroyer? Jackson is good at its role and if you want another TD you have m10 too. 76mm does not have terrible anti infantry capabilities, it is not TD its medium tanks with high AT capabilities when AT round are selected. Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 16:20 PMddd Second: i didnt say engage panther 1v1 and win every time. Currently only pershing can engage panther 1v1 and it mostly loses but its good enough to have tank that doesnt have to run when seeing panther rolling in. Every other piece of armor that usf has stand 0 chance against panther and thats why i want some other more advanced piece of armor to be able to engage it with some chance to win 1v1 or at least deal some dmg without being absolutely destroyed. A supported M36 can easily drive a Panther away. If you are asking for a tank that can stand up to Panther you should also be asking for Ostheer for a Tanks that can stand up to a m36/su-85/ff. The panther is there to counter tanks not be countered by them Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 16:20 PMddd Third: you act like im preparing another usf rework and giving them superior late game all around. Each of these tanks would be only in ONE doctrine that would lock usf player from other tools like: heavy tank, rocket artillery or elite infantry. Dont worry im not trying to create another ostheer or okw that has all of this NONDOCTRINALLY. No I am not acting anything like that but if USF have 3 doctrines with tank that can take on Panthers (Easy8, 76 and Pershing) while being able to take infantry also the rest of the commanders will become obsolete.

Thread: Usf Rifle Company14 Jan 2019, 15:47 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 14:54 PMddd My suggestion are not to straight up buff or clone any unit. Im trying to make both doctrinal sherman variants into useful distinct units. When i said "comet like" i didnt mean to literally copy its stats, rather to make it perform at the same level, "premium medium tank". And of course i thought the price going up accordingly is obvious so i didnt mention it... The main problem here is that usf doesnt need any more tank destroyers and thats pretty much what 76mm is, a weak tank destroyer. USF lacks standard medium tank (one that has good survivability and good performance vs all targets) and premium medium tank (one that could engage panther 1v1 and kill p4 with relative ease) The Sherman is a good all around tank it probably as cost efficient as PzIV. The 76 Sherman will beat the PzIV. If you USF have a tank that can engage the Panther (which is designed to counter tanks) 1vs1 and win then Ostheer would simply be lose badly to USF. USF already have better infantry, about the same Support weapons, better light vehicles about the same medium tanks and more cost efficient TDs, giving them a premium medium tank able to 1vs1 Panther would simply make them beat Ostheer at all stages of the game.

Thread: Usf Rifle Company14 Jan 2019, 14:45 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 14:41 PMLago Isn't that exactly what the 76mm is though? A Sherman with a little extra health (letting it tank an extra 160 damage hit) with specialist AT-only rounds for clubbing medium tanks? No it a more expensive Sherman with the some HP and very Penetration values for AP rounds. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Usf Rifle Company14 Jan 2019, 14:35 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 13:52 PMddd Its not about buffing, its about making units that are different and useful. Whats the point of having 3 sherman variants all in a 110-140 fuel price range? We already have 2 tank destroyers, one that is arguably the best medium TD in the game, so we have that covered but now balance team is trying to make 76mm into third tank destroyer (and it sucks). Now for e8, some people are saying that it has good stats so we cant buff it because it will perform above its price. But the tank is still useless, nobody needs slightly buffier 75mm sherman with much worse anti infantry capabilities. 76mm similar to t34/85 (800hp, ok performance vs inf and tanks) and Easy8 similar to comet/panther (bad vs inf, good armor and hp) is what will actually be useful. My point was about "fire it up" and "flares" I am all about making the units different and useful. On the other hand your suggestion are to buff both units. Cloning units across factions with different designs has been proven that it does not work. Unless their price goes also up (185-200?) and require more teching both 76 and Easy8 would be OP. Actually what I had suggested about the 76mm was to make it similar to normal Sherman but having an AP round option instead of HE. That would make it different and useful leaving room for both Sherman to be built. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Usf Rifle Company14 Jan 2019, 12:31 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 12:12 PMBaba The Easy Eight has more armor (front and rear) better pen over all distances and less scatter The 76 is slightly faster and costs less Es8 has more HP. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Usf Rifle Company14 Jan 2019, 11:51 AM The flares and fire up abilities are weak but that is what is probably holding the commander in check. Buffing units and abilities all the time is step in the wrong direction imo. It makes battles sorter and more RNG. In: COH2 Gameplay

I guess one could leave them as a CP 0 and try other measure to prevent blobbing like starting on CD and having longer CD. The issue with CP call in units is that they can easily mess up balance since they allow player to have arithmetical advantage and they have to be a a power level of anupgunned mainline infantry.

Thread: The Overwatch Problem14 Jan 2019, 10:18 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 01:09 AMgbem I do have a playercard you wehraboo check below the name... JLI are OP... literally everyone else but you knows this Claims allies OP but axis quite literally has a higher gcs wr than allies (except sov) Why are you obsessing with "identifying wehraboos"? If we accept that they exist then "allied fanboys" also exist and since you seem to have no interest in identifying them you are probably one of them. Now if "wehraboos" opinion in biased and should not be taken into account the same goes for "allied fanboys" and thus you opinion should not be taken into account either. Do you see now how pointless what you are doing is and how it increased toxicity in this forum in an non constructive way? PLS focus on what people actually write and NOT who they are, what they are or why they write their opinion. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander Submission - Discuss14 Jan 2019, 10:10 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2019, 08:51 AMSmartie HI Guys, i would like to get some constructive feedback on possible upgrade options for Assgrens and veterancy changes to make the unit more viable. Upgrade option idea: - Unit can be upgraded with a flamethrower (costs 60 mun), upgrade unlocked after finishing battlephase 1 The flamethrower would fit thematically really good and would give the Wehrmacht more options for house cleaning. - Unit can be upgraded with 4 &Stg44 to make the unit more useful in the later stages of games, timing of the upgrade up to debate. If the Assgrens would get a proper upgrade cost increase would be justified (300 MP) Thx! 5 men with flamers and sprint are not a good idea. Assault grenadiers can easily me moved to CP1 (or even 2) and receive buffs both defensively and offensively. Else they can use weapon upgrades like ST44 or PPsh. In: Lobby
