Thread: OKW infantry anti-tank is not sufficient19 Feb 2018, 16:07 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2018, 17:55 PMferwiner Overpriced stug come on, jp4 is the best non doc AT in the game. Plus it costs roughly as much as a SU85, which is much worse than jp4. The only runner up to the jp4 is the jackson, but it is more expensive and still not as good. Self-spotting, superior penetration, and noticeably lower resource costs indeed make the SU85 "much worse" than the JP4. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Su-769 Feb 2018, 06:22 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2018, 18:25 PMferwiner Sadly, none of your statements about the su76 is true. Su76 has less penetration than stug and fights against, in general, better armoured opponents. It also can't "kite endlessly". It actually can't kite at all becouse in 99% of situations it can't shoot on the move. This is becouse su-76 is the only vehicle in game that has a 0 degree firing cone, which means it can't change its line of fire to hit a moving target if its rotation is decided by the path of movement. So while it is possible to draw a path that lets a su76 fire on the move at a moving tank that is close (becouse it is a big target degree wise), it is pretty much impossible to do that on max range. And by none, do you mean all? Strange grasp of English you have there. "SU76 has far superior range and penetration to the Stug." Okay maybe "far" is an exaggeration, but 1) Su76 has 60 range, Stug has 50 range. 2) Penetration values: Su-76 (0/30/60) 200/190/180 Stug (0/25/50) 200/185/170 3) Speed: Can't be bothered, are you crazy Allied fanboys really going to claim that the Su76 doesn't have high acceleration/speed values? 4) You claim that Su76 "can't kite at all". I'm pretty sure at least a thousand players have proven you wrong. Or maybe you don't know what kiting is. From urban dictionary: Basically a hit-and-run technique commonly used in games With 60 range, you shoot first. Then you pull back, which is really easy to do using the reverse button/hotkey. Assuming it's not one of those maps where a small branch can mess up vehicle pathing, you can easily get 2 shots off without exposing yourself to counter-fire. In any case, most players will be too cautious to dive deep into your territory with a weakened vehicle because any reasonable SU player will have mines/Cons/Guards. You can kite even with slow vehicles like the su85. Kiting is basically about using your superior range to force enemies to chase/commit to diving you. Even rank 500 players are doing reasonably well, so I find it preposterous that you don't understand this concept. Your comment about "shooting on the move" is also pretty ridiculous and shows once again how you know nothing about the game. Given the 50% penalty for shooting on the move, most decent players will shoot, reverse, press "Stop" hotkey, and shoot again. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why no one complains about Bunker spam?9 Feb 2018, 04:39 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2018, 21:10 PMArashenstein I am talking about general team games. If anyone denies Axis is click to win (As long as it is not against full Soviet team) is just being a fanboy. The maps in this game are designed for comptomping as they offer no flanking chance in 3v3 and 4v4 and unlike COH1 here one MG burst completely pins down the entire units within its radius regardless if the MG is shooting at them or not. Then you bring smoke and get pass the bunker to attack it from behind but you face another bunker which is covering the back of the first bunker. I faced this against both US and Axis bunker spamming players. There is no difference if it is US being covered by soviet mortars and spamming fighting positions or it is Axis spamming bunker and being covered by mortars or infantry guns. These things are issue and it shows the bad design of the game. Such strategies should punish the player badly for making such stupid moves but sadly mostly because of the map design and game design it is very rewarding. Low-skill player losing to "low-skill" cheesy tactics isn't indicative of any balance issues. In any case, if it's 3v3 or 4v4, just because you're terrible doesn't mean it's over, you can always hope that you have good teammates who can help to win the game for you. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Su-7630 Jan 2018, 07:05 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jan 2018, 10:17 AMferwiner The difference between su-76 and stug is similar to the difference between zis3 and pak40. In both cases the soviet unit can have the additional AI capability by using the barrage, but the german one is much, much better in its primary role - AT. You forgot to mention the key facts: SU76 has far superior range and penetration to the Stug. It's a highly dubious claim that Stugs are "much much better" at AT. Stugs only marginally out-range enemy tanks, and tend to get hit a fair bit in return, while SU76 has the range and speed to kite endlessly. The inferior penetration of the Stug really starts to show vs premiums and heavies, while the SU76 has pretty obscene pen values for its cost. PAK, meanwhile has same range as ZIS but is otherwise a superior AT weapon, and ZIS has 6-man and barrage as advantages. It really isn't a very useful comparison. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Comet26 Jan 2018, 12:56 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2018, 09:58 AMVipper Comet is main battle tank. Apart from its stats it has access to a number of abilities from vet 0 like: "war speed", "commander" (45 sight/x1.1 accuracy),"hammer trucking" (more vision on target), "smoke shells" "crew defense" (Grenades). It can generally perform adequately against most threads and it can even counter ATGs. Panthers are Tds with Hmgs. Comparing the two units with different roles and tech cost is simply misleading. Rocket has shown time and time again that he doesn't understand the idea of unit roles. He regularly compares specialist units to generalist units and uses faulty anecdotes. It should have been fairly obvious when he started claiming that the Comet bounces 60 to 70% of the time vs Panthers. Why do so many people keep making direct comparisons between panzershreks and zooks/PIATs? Shreks appear on a 340mp, 37mp reinforce 4 man-squad. Or if you're crazy enough, on your Sturms. PIATs and Zooks can be put on engineer units and other low value combat units. I don't know what rank they're playing at but I hardly ever see anyone waste 340mp/120 muni on an MP-bleedfest unit that gets kited to death easily. In: COH2 Balance
