light gammon is fine except for the price, both light gammon and bundled need to be 50 or maybe even 65 munitions since they are pretty much support weapons wiper.
Yeah that's true. That would really help actually. |
in the early days of the last patch they had changes planned for the wc-51 that would reduce its fuel price to (if I remember right) 10-15. It was later placed out of "scope" =(
Oh yeah. They were also gonna reduce the ridiculous manpower cost of the M20 IIRC. |
The base pen, is much higher in comparison to Shermans but still less than Jacksons. However E8 are durable enough to fight at close range with their 200 armor pen, while Jacksons' long range armor pen is 220. Jackson's are better at range but they can not fight infantry and sometimes can not maintain their range vs panthers. The health and armor is higher and less scatter vs infantry. HE rounds are still better seeing they have larger AOE. E8s do have a role in the game. I would say build them against Panthers, Panzer 4s, and flank assault guns but use Jacksons and Pershings against heavies.
Also, you may want to build an additional Rear Echelon at the beginning for additional flamer and resource acquisition through capping points. Having duel Echelon is my preferred opener for they can provide effective at by bazookas or in this case, a flamethower.
Huh. Two rear echelons right off the bat? I usually do put zooks on the second one, but I tend to build it later, favoring the three rifle opening myself. I'll have to try that though. Good to know that Ez8s are worth building. I get tired of making jacksons all the time or having my shermans run away like sissies from anything bigger than ostheer P4s. |
Lel, if you lose penals to Grens/Volks, you're doing something horribly wrong.
T70 is still very potent since they fixed its inconsistentcy, much better than the Luchs mind you
Give them a dropped weapon and see them become commandos
IS2 is good, what the hell are you smoking, good stats all around and better than the KT/Tiger lol
IS-2 better than KT |
maybe if axis infantry would not be so frigging resistant to suppression and having high DPS along with spammable nades, then people would use maxims instead dshkas.
I don't like them either, but against OKW you don't have any choice since if you get a quad for suppression you will get one shotted by creeping raketens and will lose a massive investment.
Yep. Pretty much. |
Also, is it actually worth using for ez8s? |
This. Plus it's better to have a separate game instead of trying to shoehorn 1942 armies in a 1944 setting.
Lol wouldn't sherman be the pinnacle of armor in this setting? |
Lolwut. |
Title. I usually end up with a shit ton of manpower playing rifle company, but not enough muni. I usually go capt to stu and a pack howie to major and ez8s. Any suggestions in general? |
Yep, no new content for CoH2. And there's been rumors that if there is a CoH3 that it will be in some other time era. Which would be dumb, in my opinion.
A modern CoH simply needs a graphics update and cool new toys to play with. We don't even really need new factions, other than most wanting to see the Afrika Korps.
