If the US pushed only a little bit, game would be over. The Tigers git nearly killed several times by bazookas. With +5 range Tiger wouldn have enought range at Vet2 to make more damage than getting it. It was actually a close game until the pack howitzer killed the vet 3 sniper. When hans tried to push, devm called in ju-87s. One of his ju 87 passes left the pershing with less than 100 hp left. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger PzKpfw VI10 Feb 2019, 04:01 AM @thedarkarmadillo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSfA1DmYwGQ Found the game from gcs2 where the tiger was used vs the pershing. The problem lies in the power of the doctrines which they are in. Nvm,this is a different game, but at least shows off the power of the tiger in this doc. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger PzKpfw VI9 Feb 2019, 05:02 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2019, 04:37 AMthedarkarmadillo Usf can dump muni into greatly upping their fuel-less anti infantry, which I think is in part why Jackson's are such an easy choice. If you are dominating the fuel game by all means rush a sherman (kinda like a later, over grown T70) it certainly won't hurt you, but if it's a bit closer going Jackson to back up you BARs is the way to go no question. But this is about the tiger. The tiger is a great tank, but it's counters are too effecient against it (a vetted su85 is almost guaranteed to pen it for example) so it's easy to zone. We could perhaps experiment with additional health, or some other improved durability trait. But at its price and timing having a chance to bounce isn't an unreasonable desire. Now with panthers having less armour than they did in years I don't see why allied TDs can't afford to lose a bit of pen so the limited to 1 and intended to be impactful units can have a bit of breathing room instead of being shut down by a single unit. Panthers and tigers can be used to fight infantry, jaksons cannot. Panthers were buffed and are more useful at lower vets than pre-patch. There are 4 tiger docs. 3 tiger docs come with ways to deal with infantry and td spam. Ju-87 with tigers hard counters tanks. Assault support instantly pins infantry and has frag bombs for when the enemy units get to close to the edges of the map. Spearhead has panzer smoke, which is dam useful vs tds. Assault support and lightning war are some of the best doctrines ostheer has. Lightning war was used to counter heavy cav in a tourney. I think hans was in it, but i don't know where to find the game. In: COH2 Balance

Why did you go off topic in the first place? That last post had nothing to do with either. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Tiger PzKpfw VI9 Feb 2019, 02:01 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2019, 01:10 AMVipper No it does not when "pros" do not actaully find themselves in these particular circumstance, like having 2 idle M36s. Again this is not about me or you. I have simply responded to a very specific claim and I really don't see why we are still talking about it, unless one wants to support this claim with some arguments. Going double jaksons does not give usf some advantage because they can hop out of them. Usf has been balanced around that mechanic. Posting stats without in-game application is the reason for the argument. 2 Jaksons still take up 32% of your popcap, and US's insane bleed cancels out the 40 mp you get when 2 jaksons have their crews out. Also the original post you responded to never said anything about upkeep. Lago said jakson popcap and the percentage of your army that fills. 40% is still incorrect though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger PzKpfw VI9 Feb 2019, 01:03 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2019, 00:53 AMVipper Obviously we are talking about different things. You are talking about 4vs4 where USF uses disembark to circumvent pop limit and I am talking about disembarking to reduce one's Upkeep. Once more what "pros" do is irrelevant in this case. What the pros do is always relevant, but it more relevant to me than to you. Keeping your jaksons without a crew means you are going to be very static. It is not worth the few extra mp you get a minute keeping them that way. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger PzKpfw VI9 Feb 2019, 00:39 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2019, 23:22 PMVipper What "pros" do is quite irrelevant in this case because "pro" players would not be an position to have 2 M36s in their army composition if they didn't need them. Thus they will not be in position to have 2 idle M36s. Again this is not about me personally. It has been argued that building 2 M36s put USF players in disadvantage because 40% (actually 32%) of their Pop it taken by AT vehicles. I have simply point out that this not the case because any one who has 2 idle USF vehicles should disembark their crew to reduce his upkeep. You can't do that in a normal game. Every time you retreat your infantry, you have to get out of your vehicles, to reinforce them. That does not work in competitive games. It sounds good on paper, but reality is different. If popcap abuse was an actual viable strat, Usf would be untouchable in tournaments. You could almost 2v1 with 15 tanks. In: COH2 Balance

Sherman's/ Pershings are only rushed to exploit a timing window before OST has armor presence. Tds are useless vs lone capping squads. Everyone in one's runs around with p4's, shermans, or t34s hitting cap points. People use these tanks to hit lone capping squads away from the enemies main army. This works because players don't take their at guns to the edges of the map. When the enemy turns their army to counter your lone medium, you bring your medium to the other side of the map. Tds are only built in response to armor that mediums or at guns can't take on. You won't be able to prevent panthers from hitting your sneak-capping-infantry with mediums or at guns. You need something to chase it down from one side of the map to the other if the situation needs it. The problem is clearly not in one's, but one's is usually the game mode that gets balanced, so people lie on the forums to make it sound like the issue is with one's also. Most of these changes are more 2's or up type changes. If td spam were an issue in 1's, we would be seeing this abuse in every 1v1 tournament, but we don't. So simply say this is 2's and up to avoid confusion. In: COH2 Balance

Teamgames offer a lot of combinations and currently pz4 is the most dominant tank, a nondoc counter will be a buff to USF That means an overbuff to the recently reworked USF and thats not my point nor fair. M10 could still flank panthers btw and for the first time usf will use a neuron on tank fights... if this is 1v1, then you have been checkmated. Usf don't spam tds in 1v1. Most games are about getting shermans or pershing. At guns are used with anti-infantry vehicles with usf. M10 strats are making a comeback though. In: COH2 Balance
