Thread: Rebirth of the Sherman Jumbo idea.7 May 2019, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2019, 21:38 PMSander93 This is like requesting the Jagdpanther to be in CoH2 and just proposing to use the Panther model with the turret stuck facing forwards because they kinda look the same from a distance. I can't tell the difference between a short-barrelled 76mm Sherman and a Jumbo. What am I missing? In: COH2 Gameplay

Furthermore it doesn't matter if people like the Tiger Ace skin or not, the point is that it's used to make it stand out (visual communication) from a normal Tiger so people can instantly recognize it's a vehicle that has vastly different stats. coh 1 tiger ace skin when In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rebirth of the Sherman Jumbo idea.6 May 2019, 20:51 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2019, 20:47 PMSander93 It's a nice effort for sure, but it still lacks defining features of the Sherman Jumbo like the extra glacis armor plate and the very thick mantlet that would make the model stand out enough. I personally think the current Sherman variants with all kinds of different amounts of HP and armor are already pushing the boundries of visual communication to the player. A pseudo-Jumbo model that mostly looks like a Sherman 76mm with a shorter barrel but with way higher armor/hp than other similar looking Shermans would make things too confusing. Which is why you stick the Improved Fortifications symbol in the upgrade slot. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rebirth of the Sherman Jumbo idea.6 May 2019, 20:39 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2019, 20:36 PMddd I have idea for special ability instead of smoke: gains increased rate of fire but gets immobilized, similar to coh1 panzer elite p4. I'd rather smoke. It's a heavy tank. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rebirth of the Sherman Jumbo idea.6 May 2019, 20:20 PM It would certainly deal with the complaint that Urban Assault Tactics doesn't do anything new. I still think it should get the Improved Fortifications symbol on it to indicate it's waaay tougher than your average Sherman. In: COH2 Gameplay

They could be bundled with their own MG nest tho as I suggested for them as well. Soviet nests might need to be a little more expensive given they've got armour-penetrating Dshks in them.

Thread: UKF Core changes commander Revamp Patch6 May 2019, 19:26 PM Jump back to quoted post6 May 2019, 19:23 PMStrummingbird Actually I think the most elegant solution would be to lock the quad package behind company command post, leaving the current M5 where it is. That way you could grab it (very) early and pull off reinforcement / bren bus shenanigans- makes for interesting options instead of hardlocking it behind a CP count- then convert it into cheap AA / anti harassment later on. Company Command Post is too late to be impactful. The idea is to give UKF an anti-infantry shock unit. If keeping the non-upgraded M5 at the current timing is desirable, you could bundle the base halftrack with the M10 (Lend Lease Vehicles) and make the M5 Quad unlock a CP3 commander ability in its own right.

Thread: UKF Core changes commander Revamp Patch6 May 2019, 19:14 PM Further to Strummingbird's feedback, I think the M5 Halftrack should be a CP3 call-in instead of CP0 behind AEC tech. Because of UKF's starting fuel, you only need to accumulate 55 FU to get it. This allows you to easily rush it out before any sort of counter can be fielded. However, there's no other tech window you could put it behind. Therefore, it should probably be a CP3 call-in. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: AT infantry section6 May 2019, 18:45 PM Revert the change that stopped them getting Section upgrades. SBP had a major hate-boner for UKF. It tried to gut their teching as well. In: COH2 Gameplay
