Thread: The state of Sturmtiger10 Aug 2021, 07:58 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2021, 06:07 AMLetzte Bataillon Take a look at this cast by Tightrope: https://youtu.be/1pD0qQ3k_8A?t=1030 Apart from other nerfs, it should be immobile while reloading. Right now can take its time repositioning and staying close to the front line so it can fire again as soon as possible. Also watch from 30:42 and on, for the effort it took to destroy the second Sturmtiger. You can also see there the fast aim bug. Practically fired in one second, whereas it should be static and then aim and fire In: COH2 Balance

Thread: The state of Sturmtiger9 Aug 2021, 20:58 PM Why is it so hard to just induce weaknesses to a unit? If Sturm has the 14 AOE then AVRE should have something else in return. If Sturm deals N dmg and AVRE deals N-X% damage then it should have something else in return. Preferably, something unique. What both units should have is a clear weakness. Reload makes you completely static. Aim time is increased. If AVRE has less HP but more armour than that is pretty clear that it's an asymmetrical balance which is good. ST will get penetrated more but will also need more shots to deal with, while you might not penetrate each shot on the AVRE but on average should take the same amount of time to kill it. Increase the price and CP of ST. Give it clear weaknesses that you can exploit. Fix the fast fire bug. You can do the same for the AVRE. It's not so hard to make units that function as "delete unit" button, unique for their respective factions. Currently ST is blatantly OP. Each and every game I've had has seen it. The classical hard to break line if you're unlucky enough to reach super late game is: ST + KT + obers + dual raketen + [what ever is left of pop cap] and good luck pushing through that. Obers delete each and every mainline infantry. ST deletes AT guns. You'd need 4 TD's, elite infantry and rocket arty to break through that. If the maps were not lane-y, then you'd have more options, but for the current map design where the ST can sit behind an unbreakable shot/sightblocker and just lob nukes to the VP is just funny. I can't speak if AVRE is OP or not since I've seen maybe once or twice in all the games I've played, and I'm not exaggerating. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The state of Sturmtiger9 Aug 2021, 11:35 AM Arguing with Sander the #1 OKW fan is pointless. I mean, 242 armour is nothing special on a 1440 HP monster xD The audacity of the bias is excruciating here In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The state of Sturmtiger8 Aug 2021, 21:02 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2021, 20:38 PMGeblobt Sturmtiger is overpeforming. Stats (Elite armor is most picked doc from 2vs2 to 4vs4 while okw does fairly well in these gamemodes) and the majority of the (competent) playerbase agrees. No need for another 3 pages of useless unit/faction comparing and strawman arguments. What should be discussed is how to nerf this unit without making it complete obsolete again. I think both changes in the last patch are fine and made the STiger viable. A cost increase (10CP and more fuel) is mandatory imo. Im not sure whether the unit needs more cooldown or a penalty while reloading (stands still, increased dmg) Def a price increase. 10 CP is fine Removal of self-spotting. No range increase through vet (40 at all vets) Fix the fast fire bug (cannon aiming while moving) While reloading, the ST is immobile. For it's AOE, HP, armour it's just a completely broken unit I think that would fix the unit. Price/CP goes without saying Self spotting -- OKW has a lot of recon units and the non-recon units should not provide extra sight Fast fire bug -- well it's a cheesy bug people exploit Immobile ST -- Seen a lot of frontline reload just because it can. 220+ armour and [1280,1440] HP says "I don't care about your TDs because I have my dual raketen and unless you have 4 TDs (eg max pop), you're not killing my ST" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The state of Sturmtiger8 Aug 2021, 13:42 PM Why argue with someone that has a weeaboo profile and says that diving ST is the same as diving Calliope/katyusha Why even stoop to that level? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The state of Sturmtiger8 Aug 2021, 11:03 AM This is not your everyday stupid Zyen. This is advanced stupid. Feast your eyes people to the arguments of a bonafide mo*. If ST had 800hp and raketen could not retreat, then the ST would be fine. Currently is nigh unkillable if in hands of any skilled player. But I guess that's beyond you In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff Allied "Heavy Tanks"7 Aug 2021, 12:36 PM People saying that the Panther being able to take on allied heavy tanks is bad forget to mention that the Panther is expensive. If you lose one, you lose a lot more than an allied player losing a TD. And while I don't consider the 10 range advantage on allied TDs to be such a big deal, it is big enough of a deal that you get the first shot in, and the enemy tank has to close it, which means that the first hit will probably be a miss (moving accuracy). So using the Panther as some sort of excuse to buff allied heavies is wrong. Pershing needs a buff, but not because of the existence of a Panther, but because it costs 630 MP and 230 fuel and does pretty much every job a heavy is supposed to do (soak hits, deal damage, be a breakthrough unit) much worse than comparable heavies/premium mediums. MMX wrote facts, and by those facts alone, the Pershing needs a price buff or survivability/AI buff. IS-2 is unreliable but still has pure stats that make up for it, and when it does hit, it hits hard. KV2 is an excellent tank all around. Churchill is a good soak for the Firefly KV1 is also a pretty good heavy tank. Not really a favourite after the nerf, but sill decent enough, especially for the price. I can't help but notice that every time I play the Heavy Cav I pretty much shoot myself in the foot in 3v3s and lose 50+ ranks, and when I play any sort of arty (let's be honest, pak howi and scott are downright useless after the nerfs in teamgames) I easily win most games. With 270 armour and a mediocre RNG cannon, Pershing is not really doing much in teamgames. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff Allied "Heavy Tanks"7 Aug 2021, 10:13 AM I find it the most funny that Sturm and Sander become forum warriors defending the "we need buffs to (insert axis unit here)" and amazingly quiet when the discussion is about an ally unit. I'm expecting Sander to pop in here with "I've played 10 games with Pershing in the last 20 minutes and won each game easily with my Pershing having 1377+ kills so I guess it's balanced" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff Allied "Heavy Tanks"6 Aug 2021, 20:48 PM AOE on Pershing is mostly a RNG stat. If it hits a clumped up squad(s), it will deal more damage than a tiger. However, ROF is a much more important metric because: a) Better AT b) In case of misses, you shoot another one sooner Of course, the Pershing commander has the gimmicky low micro ability called the Combined Arms. In 90% of cases, it's a silent muni dump in a muni starved faction. You will see it here and there in 1v1s and 2v2s but in 3v3/4v4 it's a downright useless ability that works only vs lower skilled players. Vs lower skilled players, that ability can easily win you the game. I don't like comparing the Tiger to the Pershing as they are in different factions but it is the closest "relative" to use for comparing. Tiger is miles ahead of the Pershing when it comes to bleed. With the pintle MG upgrade, it bleeds infantry like crazy. Pershing does have the better wipe potential, especially in retreat but a Tiger is a much bigger presence. It can easily shrug of shots from AT guns (something a Pershing cannot) and bleed any enclosing infantry that are going for a snare with the MG's + insane ROF. The advantages the Pershing has (mobility, AOE) are tiny, whereas the advantages the Tiger has are substantial. All in all, the Tiger is a favourite in any betting scenario when the players that use Tiger/Pershing are not newbies. I really have to stop playing the Pershing commander. Just to show you how bad of a unit it is. In the past 2 weeks I went from rank 98 to rank 13 using the Calliope/arty commanders. I started using the Pershing and immediately went back to rank 40 with 5 loses in a row. Truth be told, 2 of those games were allied min0 drops so... at least back to rank 30 with 3 loses in a row where I really couldn't deal in any way with the Sturmtiger/Tiger/Elefant using the Pershing + Jackson combo. What the calliope/arty enabled were the salvo of rockets/shells before the breakthrough to displace the walls of raketen/stugs/JP4s. As every 3v3 game in lane-y maps with low flank options. Axis leaves on VP uncontested and throws all the s*** on the mid/L-R VP and bunker down with superior armour/firepower where the range doesn't really matter. The only real sell of the Heavy Cav are the mines and offmap smoke In: COH2 Balance
