the IS2 is not that great. i've used it a couple times now and it keeps dissapointing me. i would like to see it buffed aswel. the IS2 misses way to much of its shots and if it hits a tank you have more chance it's gonne be a bounce then a pen(not true ofcourse, but it wil still bounce alot.), it misses infantry all the time aswel. i hear people complaining about other heavies wiping their infantry but the is2 doesn't even hit. you could argue that the veterancy does alot but even veterancy doesn't make it better.
i had an IS2 go to vet3 verry quickly but it doesn't do shiet. the only thing i see good about this tank is that it vets super fast, but the veterancy is useless.

BTW: tiger is great. i used that thing got it to vet3 with pleasure and it was so effective

CONCLUSION:
i want its accuracy buffed, and i want its scatter buffed
maybe look at its veterancy aswel

The way actual US tank destroyer units were supposed to act was as a counter attack unit sent to engage enemy tanks that had made a breakthrough by moving quickly from a rear area to intercept the break through unit and ambush it and/or counter assault into it. So M1 ATGs and the Riflemen field defenses represent the first part while M10s and M8s are the second part. I’d prefer the M10 to be a call in, but currently the game uses it as a buildable Major tier unit, so I put it in as that. A tank detection ability to replace the air recon would be fine though, but I think air recon is more USF style. A mark target ability similar to Soviets is a neat idea, but change it so the P-47s strafe the tank repeatedly with MGs causing some damage to light vehicles but stunning tanks while giving sight to ground forces but no extra penetration or bonus damage like the Soviet version. This strafe would not target infantry, but would damage and suppress infantry if they were too close to the tank being attacked.

m10 should be a call in that's only possible to use if for instance captain is teched or LT maybe both. making the m10 a call in thogether with the lower tech will give it its use back. nobody uses the m10 anymore cause jackson is just way better. in other words m10 is useless for the moment.

btw read above. this might help a bit aswel.

USF Tank Destroyer Company

0 Cp: Riflemen field defenses. Mine laying works with the tank destroyer theme.

4 Cp: P-47 recon flight. Spotting for advancing enemy armour is a key aspect of tank destroyer doctrine and it’s a good utility ability that isn’t over powered.

4 Cp: M1 57mm Anti Tank Gun off map call in. *Elite* AT gun team is crewed by Assault engineers or Rangers making it more durable to infantry attacks with the better received accuracy but costs more to reinforce. Sort of a trade off for not having to tech Captain. Works with the theme.

5 Cp: M8 armored car call in. The M8 was originally evaluated as a tank destroyer early in the war before they decided to only evaluate potential new TDs that had at least a 57mm, then 3 inch and finally the 76mm gun. Examples being the M1 Anti Tank Gun, M10 GMC and the M18 Hellcat (I’d love to see it but that’s a no go due to needing a new model.)

0 Cp: M10 tank destroyer. Obvious choice for the theme as they were the primary Gun Motor Carrage used by the tank destroyer branch during WWII.

This commander is themed off of the real US tank destroyer branch that fought very successfully in WWII. If you are interested in it please look up The Chieftan on YouTube. He is a veteran tank commander who does several excellent talks on the tank destroyer branch, the development of the Sherman tank and the general myths of US tanks in WWII. It’s very interesting for anyone that is a CoH fan or a historian in general.

i think you should put something else instead of the anti tank gun cause with the m10 you don't have to tech major and with atgun you don't have to tech captain + they're both anti tank. i would like to see m10 to be used more but i'd like to see it come thogeter with a tech of the LT AND CPT.

I'm glad to help

Btw, the CapsLock solution has the advantage of giving a clear indicator showing whether your key bindings are on or off. To get the best of both worlds, while keeping the ability to write caps, use ScrollLock for state instead of a variable and either SetScrollLockState or Send {ScrollLock} under the Enter binding to change the state when you enter the chat. I prefer scroll lock over caps lock becouse it doesn't have a function in coh2.

Something like this:

#ifWinActive Company Of Heroes 2

;#this should run only once when you run the whole script 

;#the state of "first" variable is reverted, but I didn't come up with a better name

if(!first){ 

	SetScrollLockState, On

	first := !first

}



Enter::

Send {Enter}

Send {ScrollLock}

Return



$a::

if(GetKeyState("ScrollLock", "T")) {

    Send b

} else {

    Send a

}

Return

Now you can see that hotkeys are on when the light is on. You can also spare the numpad9 button for something else couse you can switch the wrong state with the scroll lock button.

damn i should've donne it that way with the scrolllock, never thought of it. thx again ferwiner!
i have one question tho, is it possible to make a hotkey so it opens chat and directly types '/L' to leave? like would it be like -> numpad2::enter send, /l
i have no idea


EDIT: i have found a way to do it, but if you have a better way, then tell me. this is my way ->
numpad3::
send {enter 1}
send, /l
send {enter 1}

hey,

if you wanne say things with the click of one button (actually 2 to open chat )
you have to do this
->
Numpad1:: send, Hey, hf
(for some reasson he can't just say what he has to say but the >send< should be on the >:<) (like w::r no space left between) (i hope you know what i mean)

everything after 'send,' will normally be said it doesn't matter if you put a ',' you'll have to figure out what works and what doesn't.

you can change numpad or the text behind it to whatever you want. this is just what i think i use .

for the mousewheel, you just have to switch the button for 'iddle units'(just go above the button and normally it will show what you need to press, if it has a hotkey) to the key of ahk for mousewheels (could be named xbuttonmiddle for instance) (for the buttons on the side of your mouse it is xbutton1,2... and so on. that i know for sure)
for instance, lets say 'switch to iddle units' is button 'x' for coh2, and mousewheel is button 'xbuttonm' for ahk
->
x::xbuttonm

you can do things like making it so that you only use it when capslock is on and so on...
just go look a bit up on ahk and you'll find it. it isn't much work if you really want it.

btw i don't know what you mean by 'protect my chat'

anyways gl!
