Thread: British mortar pit suggestion for GCS patch.22 Apr 2017, 15:33 PM I think Mortar pits and bofors guns should be able to be decrewed before they are destroyed like German Flak emplacements. This will start a slight manpower bleed if the positions are decrewed but the area is still defended, and in certain scenarios where a position is overrun the enemy can actually capture and use Bofors guns or mortar emplacements. And they can be re-captured, etc. Either that or prevent Flak emplacements from being decrewed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: My thoughts20 Apr 2017, 15:45 PM I agree with most of this. Ost Armor other than Stugs is pretty bad for a faction that is supposed to have really good tanks. I do not agree with Firefly buffs. It's a super effective unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets: How do they work?19 Apr 2017, 16:59 PM Soviets can be anything you want them to be. Some guys blob the everloving crap out of Cons. Some guys spend MP Penals for a frontline inf. Some guys just spam support weapons. There's a bunch of different ways to do it. But they don't always work 100% of the time. It can be a lot to juggle, but having a diverse army will have the highest chances of winning. Penals mixed in with cons, MG's supporting, Mortars firing, armor exploiting weaknesses, and artillery softening up the hard spots. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Dealing with King Tiger as SU19 Apr 2017, 16:57 PM As long as the KT hasn't reached Vet 3 yet, one of it's key weaknesses is it's turret turning speed. If you can use infantry or a sacrificial tank like a T34 to get the KT to turn it's turret completely to one side, you can launch an attack with TD's from the opposite side. The unaware KT driver will either have to wait for the turret to turn all the way around, or he will start to turn his vehicle to get his gun onto the new threats. This will typically expose his back or flank to your lines. In team games, allies can then attack his back or flank or in solo games you can have AT guns on your front lines start hitting the back and sides. Whenever I lose a KT it's due to two reasons: I advanced too far with it into enemy territory and got attacked from multiple angles or I was swarmed on all sides by a mass of armor. The KT is very powerful but it's turret speed is really it's biggest weakness. It can only swing that big gun around so fast. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Infiltration units needs a change19 Apr 2017, 16:44 PM AT Partisans are a joke. Extremely cheap, SUPER fast cooldown, and powerful. Walking Stuka/Panz werf problem? Just spend what a conscript squad costs, pop out of a building, and blow it up. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panthers need adjustment19 Apr 2017, 15:51 PM So what I gather from all of this discussion is: The panther is a late game high-end tank destroyer with high cost and excellent mobility. but it sucks at destroying tanks and if it's using it's high mobility it won't hit anything. I've almost completely given up on Panthers. The Jagdpanzer seems to always be a much better choice or Stugs as Ost. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panthers need adjustment15 Apr 2017, 16:24 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2017, 06:55 AMRealName Wtf? It's a damn 85mm. It can actually penetrate something. It also has more survivability than a 76 because of its improved armor(health?). And thanks to those two things, an 85 can reliably slug it out with other tanks while a 76 has no hope of doing so. The T34/85 is an actual useful medium tank, equivalent to a Cromwell or an Easy Eight. And the 85 does not need to flank to win its tank battles (obviously unless it's vs German heavies, in case which case EVERY Allied tank needs to flank to get any fighting chance whatsoever) "cost efficient"? T34/76? Really? It cant pen shit, it cant kill anything unless it goes on a suicide flanking run, and (like the others have said) it actually has worse anti-inf than an 85. Hell the T34/76 is even more useless now because of the T70, formerly a frail infantry-wipe-machine, now turned into a normal light tank. Which means the T70 is now pretty much (an only slightly worse) T34/76 that you can get way earlier (and cheaper). I can't tell you how many times I've had 3-6 T34/76's go on one of these "suicide rushes" and take out Tigers, King Tigers, or even a small group of panthers with minimal losses. The other week I lost 2 Panthers (one vet 2, one Vet 1) to only four T34/76's due to me being surprised and the other player's outstanding micro. The sacrificial lamb would lead the attack and get behind my tanks preventing them from backing up with the others went to both sides of the panthers. I didn't even destroy a single one. One was an inch from death and another was severely damaged but both were able to retreat and repair. I'm sure someone has a replay of this happening. It's happened to me quite a few times with minimal losses to Soviets. It CAN go wrong. If they bumrush i this fashion in an area where your tanks are plus AT guns behind the tanks they're gonna have a very bad time. Or if the axis player sees it coming soon enough and kites the T34's in reverse. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ostheer and T1 mainline infantry14 Apr 2017, 16:52 PM I don't play Ost nearly as much as I used to but I would never trade T0 MG for T0 grens. Look at this way, you have a few options. Make 1 to even 3 T0 MG's (3 only applies to team games). That can give you the field power to force retreat or deny areas to the enemy long enough for you to get more Grens on the field. Another option is use doctrinal frontline infantry such as assault grenadiers, Ostruppen, etc. And on Urban maps you should be switching to Pgrens as soon as you can anyways. Grens aren't that bad. They have a small squad and lower DPS but they are a very hardy unit and can take hits in most scenario. Edit: If you aren't already, you can greatly improve your grens by using ambient green cover or building sandbags in key areas. A squad of grens behind sandbags vs 2 squads of cons in no cover will have your grens doing plenty of damage before needing to retreat. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Panthers need adjustment14 Apr 2017, 14:28 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2017, 03:05 AMsinthe Panthers had brutally simple suspension. Torsion bars, I believe. I also believe that the panthers failed from their under sized engines. I am 100% for your engine crit idea. Like, anytime the tank reaches top speed it has a small chance to engine crit, or w/e. Always a fan of historical flavour. The Panther's engine and transmission had to be replaced every 800 km. Special carriages/mounts were made for field engine and tranny swaps. A talented crew could do it in a day but it sometimes took a few days. In: COH2 Balance
