Thread: Sturmtiger OP AF10 Nov 2020, 10:38 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2020, 01:38 AMSpoof How do the Sturmtiger and the AVRE compare? I know the AVRE always wipes at least one squad of mine each time it shoots. There is no escape. https://coh2.serealia.ca/# This has updated stats last time I checked. You can directly compare them. Sturm is overall a bigger nuke while AVRE has a turret so it's a bit less clunkier. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH2: All-Out War Edition - 64bit 10 Nov 2020, 10:19 AM I was wondering. Why didn't Relic wait for the 64bit and then put COH2 and all it's DLCs on that massive sale? I noticed around 12k people playing the game but a lot of them complained about the performance issues/crashing. Would have saved some of that new playerbase just by waiting for the updated engine.

Thread: stuka zu fuss needs more RNG in it9 Nov 2020, 19:22 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 19:15 PMLady Xenarra Posts as an OKW main It's deadly, it's got a line shaped barrage and seems to hit infantry squads when you're trying to blow up something else....somehow. It punishes weapons team spam brutally and dramatically loses effectiveness against decent players who use combined arms. But as Adamircz said, it can't really be changed without making it awful awful. It's already super difficult to deal with MGs as OKW and it's literally the only thing you have to answer skill howies, before LeFHs. As an aside, if you think the stuka has obscene accuracy you should see what the skill howie autofire does to weapon teams and even infantry marching in open nvm clumped up.... Agreed. Stuka is fine as it is. The only problem I have with it is bug related as sometimes the whooshing sound is barely heard. However, multiple systems have that problem. Rifle granade from OST calling out when it's already exploded. Rear echelons yelling "Granade!" when you fire a smoke granade. Often enough the sound cues are non-existing or really low volume. Still, don't know how Stuka can be considered OP In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Pak 43 shooting through elevations/houses9 Nov 2020, 16:36 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 13:11 PMVipper I have not seen so many pak43 in 3vs3, maybe it more map deepened? Suggest you try priest. It completely counter the pak43. Yes. It's heavily map dependent. As I have said, on some maps Pak43 is pointless and easy to counter. On maps with lots of buildings and sightblockers that are more "lane-y", pak43 can be cancerous to play against. Hence the "Not UP nor OP" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak 43 shooting through elevations/houses9 Nov 2020, 12:12 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 11:39 AMVipper I guess one could test but I think pak43 is underused already so I see little reason to go through the trouble. Clear obstacles that small explosive they have. Also available doctrinal to assault engineers and Pioneer via upgrade. I'd agree it's underused in 1v1 and 2v2 due to the nature of those mods. However, from my experience (3v3), pak43 is used in pretty much every game. Of course, it's my problem that I only play random teams so coordination is not the main deal in those games. I mean, last 4 games my teammates left after losing one squad: "gg, we lost, you suck" and then disconnect...some top 20 3v3 players no less. All in all, giving pak43 better survivability/clearing blockers would be more "normal" than have it shoot through buildings on it's own. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak 43 shooting through elevations/houses9 Nov 2020, 11:34 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2020, 11:26 AMVipper I am under the immersion that the shooting through obstacles thing is a lesson form COH1 where the 88 there was some difficult to use since in many cases it would not have a clear line of fire. The same issue is less of problem for the UKF since their sapper can clear allot of world objects and create a clear line of fire. If one removed the ability to fire through objects for the Pzk43 one would probably have to provide the commander with pak43 the ability to clear obstacle. Wouldn't this be a better option? Also, what kind of clear obstacle do Sappers have? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak 43 shooting through elevations/houses8 Nov 2020, 22:52 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2020, 21:50 PMzerocoh if you use the tacmap abuse you can pretty much one shot a pak43 using tank hunters, it's even easier with SU85, that is why you need to put behind shotblockers Hardly. It's got 80 range and 320 dmg and 3.5 (+2 sec wind down). Provided that you hit it (A HUGE IF), it will still kill you. It's got 470hp (the gun itself). Pak43 is not OP. Not in the literal sense. It's just situational cancer to play against. Truth be told, even when playing with axis I don't usually go for pak43s since I hate being static but having played against ton of them by sim city players, it can be cancerous. 17 pounder can be cancerous if you're trying to destroy it and then it braces and is left with a tiny portion of HP, also can be cancerous, but still less cancerous (for me at least) to play against. And the 17pdr is kinda meme since it needs perfect positioning (easy to pull of on some 3v3+ maps). I mean, 3-4 months ago I played against 3 OST on angermuende. It was against arranged team so they were well coordinated plugging the holes of friends so a guy placed 3 pak43s around 2 VPs (middle/bot). Those massive f****** were shooting through 2-4 buildings. Every time we managed to dislodge it, the pios that were hiding in the building during the strafing runs would just pop out and recrew it with the reinforce bunker nearby. Calliope did 0 against it since it was hitting the building constantly until it went down and even then it pretty much missed since you need to fire at the gun from a distance (80+) which is quite inaccurate. Only thing that 90% of time did the trick was recon + offmap arty. 80-90% of time it would dislodge AND destroy it (pretty important to destroy it). All in all, on some maps you will need to spend 150-250 munitions to kill it, and on some you will need to spend 500+ munitions + manpower to kill it. It's not OP, UP. It's just situationally cancerous ONLY because of that phasing. Anyway, all I wanted to know was whether that was a balance thing or a bug thing and I got the answer. Doesn't make sense but it is what it is. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak 43 shooting through elevations/houses8 Nov 2020, 20:09 PM I'd argue shooting through buildings >> Brace. You can brace but you can not fire. Brace is useful on the mortar pit since it's further behind. 17 Pounder needs to be on the frontlines even more so than the Pak43. Of course, arranged team will always beat random teams that I play. Flare + pak43 = secured VP from tanks. Introduce the randomness of offmap arty which will either completely destroy the pak43 (can not recrew) or barely do any dmg. I really had a hard time dislodging it as USF since I didn't go for Calliope in 3v3. My brit ally tossed arty from IS, house blocked shells. I used scotts, one smokes, other barrages, did 0 dmg. Then I tried with pak howi, it got dislodged by either Stuka or LeFH counter. In the end the major vet3 arty didn't dislodge it (it was reinforcing as it was getting barraged). I only managed to kill it after I smoked the whole map around it with scotts and rushed 3 rifles to it to nade it. It survived all 3 nades but in the end BARs killed it. A minute later, another one popped up in it's place xD. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak 43 shooting through elevations/houses8 Nov 2020, 19:36 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2020, 19:33 PMLady Xenarra They're intentionally designed to pierce all obstacles and slam into their targets or near the target. This is probably due to the lack of BRACE and how easy PaK 43s are to kill (Very easy). Yes, intelligent placement can make it harder to kill the gun but its not like it can MOVE and shoot your face off outside its fire range. Hill 400 is the Allied Arty players' dream map where the Axis base can be bombarded into rubble. No PaK 43 will last long there. 17 pounder cannot normally shoot through obstacles but they do have a piercing shot ability that temporarily can, like the Jagdtiger. 17 pounder can brace but is also a meme emplacement. Well, I also had my base bombarded by LeFHs that seemed to survive most of the arty. Probably due to the intelligent placement of reinforce bunker from OST. Not 10 minutes ago, a pak43 survived 2 scotts firing at it and major arty, may he rest in pieces for that brave sprint, getting nuked into orbit by stuka. In: COH2 Balance
