Thread: Why does ost puma require battle phase 2?8 Apr 2019, 11:51 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2019, 03:01 AMEtherealDragon Main problem is that the fuel difference between StuG and Puma is so minimal that if you are going to tech BP2 then you might as well just stall for the extra 25 fuel to get StuG. Honestly I think the best way to make Puma work would be to make it side tech from Tier 2 like AEC and just cost it appropriately so that going for Puma is a conscious and deliberate decision to counter T70 and the likes. I used to think the same, but the casemate StuG is awful against T-70s. It's like trying to use a Raketenwerfer against one. When you're comparing 320 MP 70 FU (I think>) for a Puma to 540 FU 150 FU for a Support Armor Korps and the P4, it holds up more favourably. Mostly though you use Mobile Defence to skip T3 entirely. Puma, Command P4, Battle Phase 3, Panther. Decent counter to IS-2 stalls. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens7 Apr 2019, 19:55 PM Brens are throughly meh, but UKF doesn't rely on them when Infantry Sections are already so strong without upgrades. In: COH2 Balance

It is 90 fuel after all, and it's hefty. That could easily be shifted to tech structures. It was very deliberately loaded on BP2 to make the T3/T4 fork softer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: StuGs7 Apr 2019, 14:58 PM When's the right time to use StuGs? They're not good en masse as an anti-heavy unit because all their shells bounce. They're not great against tank destroyers because they get outranged. Ostheer already has the medium tank advantage over vanilla tanks, so you might as well get another P4 if you're against standard mediums. They don't counter lights because they can't keep up with them. I'm not sure what they're for. T-34/85s, maybe? In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Heavy Tank Call-Ins7 Apr 2019, 14:48 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 14:19 PMKatitof The game also calls conscripts a soviet army backbone. Plus, it was mostly morale thing, right after ww2 it was designated medium and stayed that way. It also didn't fit actual heavy tank doctrine according to soviets, germans and british doctrines since US didn't had a heavy tank doctrine at all. Point is, names don't mean much, stats do and according to stats, pershing is literally a comet if comet had a great gun. ~~the game lies, 222 is a light tank~~ Nah, that's fair. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank Call-Ins7 Apr 2019, 13:58 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2019, 13:48 PMKatitof Pershing is indeed a great tank, but given its health, its premium med tier, not heavy. It got heavy tanks cost, but instead of bundle of survivability and firepower, it gets meh survivability and great firepower. Doesn't the game call it M26 Pershing Heavy Tank though? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 13:35 PM It would be cool if Pzgrens could get flamethrower as an upgrade option AI focused, but that is just an idea. Not neccessary but would be a nice AI addition. The game's had midrange mainline infantry with flamers before. Flamer Penals and Flamer Riflemen. Both were removed because of how powerful cover denial on mainlines is. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sniper Ideas for USF & OKW7 Apr 2019, 13:21 PM Don't add more snipers. Snipers are awful. They play into the absolute worst aspects of this game's mechanics, which is why they're so widely reviled. If any change gets made to snipers, it should be nerfing them into irrelevance or removing them outright. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: I hear the new patches have made western allies op?7 Apr 2019, 13:16 PM Fixing PGrens and the Ostwind would go a long way to helping Ost deal with all the new CQC infantry that's giving them a hard time. Especially with the new patch buffing Rangers of all things. As for OKW, the whole faction needs a look at. OKW's got insane early shock value, but its trashy non-vehicular AT forces it into vehicular AT, cramping it into a small number of strategies. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy fixes to existing OKW commanders 6 Apr 2019, 13:00 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2019, 12:55 PMSmartie True, thats why i would take away "mark target". But i agree that Elite Armor is probably the best commander for using Puma. Lets assume that the Commando Panther could be used elsewhere: Which tank could replace ST? JT is no option because JT+ HEAT is op as hell. An option that i would like: - KT reworked and doctrinal unit again - Available in Elite Armor (same tech requirements like before) @SeductiveCardbordBox: munition cost increase for "Flares" + bigger cooldown could also work The Command Panther could just be a bog standard Panther for 225 FU and it'd still amongst the strongest commander abilities in OKW. Call-in tanks are incredible in a faction that pays 300 MP 135 FU to tech and runs the risk of losing their tech building. In: COH2 Balance
