And E8 was lackluster in 2014 2015 and middle 2016 then they buffed its health and near penetration |
Rifle, Mechanized and Support/Heavy Cav are my go to-es when USF to be honest, you probably can't go wrong with those.
Well support is as the name suggests meant to support, but I still think that the Calliope is quite useful to have around, as well as the M5. USF nwo m7 mines which i prefer for USF cuz htey are cheap and htye bplant fast heavy cover with fighting position and the best cover in my opinion tank traps you spam 5 E8 and then jacksons backing them and there you go |
I find the ez8 incredibly lack luster anymore. I think it needs better speed or acceleration to make it better at flanking or maybe a bit better AI with main gun. It just too hard countered by so many things. Can easily get rolled by stug(s) can't really fight panthers, cant really fight any tank well other than other mediums. SUper glue taken away plus volks have snares now too which anything USF snared is death sentence other than maybe persh. Like other have said why buy it when its not great at anything really when you can have a reg sherman and jackson. Feel the exact same about comet after it was nerfed because of the LIES that it could beat panthers that was always crap. Comet is so so but too expensive for something that again dosent do anything great, much rather have a cromwell or centuar paired with a FF. E8 costs 140 fuel and has better penetraiton and speed than comet and better vs infrnatry too what else do oyu want from a 140 fuel tank cost like OKW p4 and being better than comet and sometimes in vs a panther it wins it has some chances plus oyu cna spam it perhing cna go out only 1 time |
Sherman76mm spam its not that great i think, vet3 with super relaod speed is funny but standard sherman with doser upgrade(80hp+) and jackson is better choice
Funny is that u can upgrade your teammate sherman, pimp my ride ?
I knwo but oyu dont get the armor buff liek the the armor company sherman dozer oyu oly get the hit poitns and you lose oyur mobolity which is the only survibility regural shemran has |
E8 should be better than m4c i guess and it would be really intresting compare e8 with comet and not with standard sherman or panzer 4
Just imagine e8 as a premium and expensive medium tank similar to comet with range 45 still with 720hp but maybe slihty better armor with cost maybe even 160 fuel
Less spamable but with better quality something like that
i hate the reugral shemrna 76 mm gun the standar cuz it has the same pen are the regural exept a little penbuff in mid and long range nothing else worst vs infrnatery anad faster relaod time |
Thoughts on the commander as a whole
-Rifle company doesn't really make rifles much better, it would be nice if this commander added more utility or something more interesting than the worst sprint in game and a flare.
-RE's losing rifle smoke with flamers kinda sucks. The new Rear Echlon Smoke doesn't seem to be used too much overall, I think it would be fine to give smoke to Res with flamers. Your already give-up your minesweepers and you have to purchase grenades to get access. It would help give more options other than rifle spam. If i want 2 res with flamers and a third for mine sweeping, I'm spamming Res and I would like to be able to use smoke on all of my units with terrible guns.
-Opinions on the ez8 seem a bit split. It should probably be worth a buy almost every game considering its locked in a commander so Making more of a premium medium like the panther or comet would enhance the choice between it and a Sherman and hopefully people can say "I want the ez8 b/c its different in a meaningful way" instead of "i want the ez8 b/c its OP and the 75mmSherman is not"
Right now its basically in load outs as the flamer commander and I think it could do more to justify one of those 3 spots i always go for 2 rears one flame and the oen with zooks and mine sweeper to use smoek too and oyu got your buffed up smoek mortar with its 80 range and captain along with majort but major is retrteat point so captain smoke is good to supoprt riflemen |
EZ8 is already a very good tank. It only feels bad because it's a generalist - so when you fight infantry you never find it overwhelming, when you fight tanks you don't find it superb either.
It also suffers from comparisons with T34-85, which has worse armour but is better vs infantry and hence is generally regarded as more impactful. no E8 is the best vs infrnatry with AP sheels only regural sherman with HE sheels is better |
It might be time to buff the E8 a bit, since the Upgunned Sherman is here, I love the new Mechanized so much.
I mean E8 is really good i dont want it to be more expensive than OKW p4 and it got a scatter nerf in DBP |
if we talking about teamgames then if someone spam panzers in urban maps then yes this commander is awesome but in different scenerio i think this tank is decent because its not great against heavy armor or tank destroyers and not that great against infantry. Normal sherman and jackson is better combo i guess
Best commander is heavy cavalry if u want good armor
in super late 2 jacksons and pershing are great with that ability combined arms
For me e8 should get 45 range and costs something around 150 fuel that would be nice
yes but you just spam E8 and E8 kills stug and jagpanzer tank destroyers cuz it has fast rate of fire and good armor than can bounce stugs and jagpanzers shots and riflemen sprint is good now that you dont have smoke oh and E8 is better infrantry killer than regural shemran to make regural sherman better you need to keep switching sheels |
Personal opinion is that Rifle Company is probably the best/hidden commander for USF at the moment.
Removal of Smoke means sprint became that much better
Removal of Smoke means flares became that much better
Jackson can combo with new E8
White Posph comes in real early in CP for what it does
Flamethrowers are always useful and makes your Rear Echelon support that much better
I've been trying out tactics with Airborne, Pathfinder is still utterly worthless. Although the P-47 rocket strafe is amazing now, it's very situational. It apparently can't hit stugs (Which is what Ostheer spams) and you basically bank on 12 CPs and horde your muni's (which can be a bad thing for USF). On the flipside Airborne infantry are awesome and bypassing tier tech is nice.
Anyone feel like Airborne with LMG's actually suck? I don't know what it is but despite having 2 LMG's and firing on the move I don't seem to kill anything with them. Then on the flipside them with Thompsons destroy anything. It's like a contradiction I don't understand. Maybe I've just been getting unlucky. Haven't fooled around with Recon, but it seems pretty good. Yeah personally i extremly like E8 combo with the durable jackson now they will be crazy and USF has lets just say better stuff without commadner than commander for exable m7 mines that rear echelons have are in my opinion are better than the m5 cuz are cheaper faster blanded doesnt ttake time for riflemen and they actually do a bit more damage if oyu plant 3 together that cost 30 than a one m5 mine or sandbags are worst in cover cuz they can be crashed and need more time to build |
