Thread: USF Sherman 76 mm - Who needs it?4 Sep 2019, 11:07 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 10:26 AMEsxile Lol, the Ez8 is ok for its price, nothing close to "Really really good" You'd see loads of them if they were in a doctrine that's not garbage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Scott in LT or CP as the OKW Walking stuka.4 Sep 2019, 10:21 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 06:08 AMRiley Here is a contradiction, your friend claims that early stukas is a risk and a bad idea. Then I said transfer it to T3. You say now that this is a nerf. So can you give a definite answer? This is an advantage, and transfer to T3 will be considered a nerf, or it is not an advantage, and is a risk and not a working meta. Transferring the Stuka to T3 is arguably a slight buff to OKW. It gives the Stuka to Battlegroup builds, and it's rare that Mechanized will build one before a tank without SpecOps. But then what do you put in Mechanized in the Stuka's place? You'd have five units in T3 and two in T2. The Stuka's in T2 in the first place to balance out the tech tree. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion4 Sep 2019, 09:47 AM Can we ditch Conscript sidetech? They're never going to stack up against Penals when you have to pay extra to have the same capabilities for worse troops. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Sherman 76 mm - Who needs it?4 Sep 2019, 09:43 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 06:20 AMRiley However, your words about E8 surprised me a little. I thought it was better. I also thought it was a copy of the panther, just with less armor and health. The Easy Eight is a 140 FU premium medium tank. The two closest tanks to it are the OKW Panzer IV and the Soviet T-34/85. The Easy Eight is really, really good, but it's also in Rifle Company. It's hard to sell diamonds when they're floating in a cesspoll. In: COH2 Balance

If an AEC or two really can't deal with the Hetzer, then yes, lower its armour. A weaker Hetzer at an earlier timing is preferable to a stronger Hetzer at an unhelpful timing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW September patch discussion3 Sep 2019, 12:05 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2019, 12:00 PMaddvaluejack Hetzer has smaller target size and better armor than Ostwind. We need nerf its armor if we move this unit out of Panzer Authorization lock. We would if it did more than zero damage to light vehicles. Stuart versus Flame Hetzer, Flame Hetzer loses. Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2019, 11:59 AMKatitof Plus, have you all people complaining about Hetzer have even used it in last 12 months? Its perfectly fine for performance where it is, it doesn't matter it can't damage vehicles, that's how AI units work, it can easily 1v1 ATG and will murder all infantry that isn't supported by a med tank at least. I'm not saying it should damage vehicles. It's a flame tank. It shouldn't damage vehicles. I'm saying because it can't damage vehicles it's foolish to treat it like the Ostwind, which kills lights. The Flame Hetzer's a good unit, but its position in the tech tree means it's rarely a viable pick. By the time you can build it you need your own medium tanks out. It's a bit like the Soviet M5. That's also a good unit, but in Soviet T3 it's forever under the T-70's shadow. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostwind Overbuffed?3 Sep 2019, 11:02 AM The Ostwind and the Centaur are this good because they're taking a medium tank's popcap and resources for a unit that can't fight medium tanks. Every Centaur isn't a Cromwell. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Snipers, to make them more supportive3 Sep 2019, 10:57 AM This is a joke, right? Snipers are the last unit that needs buffing. They're so powerful that building them usually makes the match about whether or not the opponent can kill the sniper. And given how random sniper-killing is, those matches are usually shit.

Thread: OKW September patch discussion3 Sep 2019, 10:38 AM Please don't lock the Flame Hetzer behind Panzer Authorization. The earlier timing had the potential to make Feuersturm a viable commander. Unlike the Ostwind (which definitely should stay behind Panzer Authorization no matter what) the Flame Hetzer has no AT capabilities at all. All three opposing factions have an AT light vehicle that can fight it when it hits the field. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW is too oppressive towards other factions...2 Sep 2019, 12:35 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2019, 12:07 PMRiley I think British is fine. Soviet is also strong, but requires skill. But the USF is weak in a 2x2 mode. USF is undeniably weak in 2v2. It's a faction that thrives on mobility and which struggles in battles of team weapons and attrition. It's the smoke-and-flank faction. 2v2 is mostly played on small, saturated, lanely maps where your only option is to charge the enemy head on. USF needs space to do its thing, and 2v2 doesn't give it that. In: COH2 Balance
