As it stands I think the trio of AA HTs are fine for anti-inf duty, just the flak HT trades firing on the move for better killing power. That said, personally I wouldn't mind having weaker setup AI power for firing on the move. I know you don't play allies Vodyani but try playing USF a bit and you'll see what I mean. Pressing buttons is not the problem. The constant rotating and turning is. You need to reverse into combat, before firing stop, and then pull the brake so it doesn't constantly rotate when trying to fire. The engine probably is telling the computer to turn the HT the "right" way but the arc of fire is in the "reverse" way. Horrible. Also, AA HT needs to stop to fire the larger caliber shells. On the move it can only fire the MG which suppresses poorly. The main gun needs the HT to be stationary to fire. God forbid that the AAHT is in trouble and you need a quick escape, that sh** will rotate and rotate. The smoke on flak + fast deployment > AAHT. AA HT is still good, no doubt, but cancerous and worst AA unit of all due to tracking and constant bugging out. Flak is also much better AI but is slower and needs deployment, which is fast enough but still needed. Also smoke. So I stand behind that the raketen is a much bigger cancer for AA HT than anything else is for the flak, due to smoke mainly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback2 Dec 2020, 23:39 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2020, 23:21 PMLady Xenarra Bear in mind that in 2v2+, one can assume an AT gun is present in the enemy army you're facing, which will quite easily scare off the flak HT and thus discourage its purchase. The setup time has been a topic of considerable discussion in the past and I think this will continue to discourage players (though its AI firepower is nasty!) I agree that we'll see a bit more flak HT in games as it's just not DoA vs UKF any more, but not much more usage. Pz IV rush is still extremely potent (which is fine) and overshadows this unit with a better game overall. And raketen and paks discourage AA HT and Quads. Even more so the AA HT since it's cancerous to use and quite dumb when it comes to pathfinding/rotating. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback2 Dec 2020, 14:31 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2020, 13:22 PMVipper I am simply responding to your claim that "allies have better stock heavy td,s wich get their asses kicked by ele and jagdt" and pointing out that pound for pound Elefant lose those TDs. Once could make that claim when Elefant did 320 damage but that is not the case anymore. Now think about the other way around and lets say Elefant gets nerfed and it can no longer win vs allied TDs frontally. How is factions Axis going to counter all the "better stock heavy td,s" allies get? Paks, raketen, JP4. It's not a question of how to counter, but what is on the top of the food chain. You can't deny the fact that not one tank can harm elefant at any distance reliably. In teamgames, Elefant, Jagd and ISU152 reign supreme. ISU152 deserved a nerf in rear armour, not HE range. HE range maybe to 65. In the end, couldn't care less since nothing will change. Whereaboos will screech that the HE is still OP, and the ISU will get nerfed again and Panther buffed. Question for you: You're playing soviets, how would you counter a supported elefant in 2v2 and 3v3 vs a really good player? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback2 Dec 2020, 13:00 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2020, 11:32 AMblvckdream And yet SU-85 and Jackson have so much penetration with vet or HVAP that not even this reliably works. The Elefant's 400 frontal armour is not particularly impressive against 390 max frontal penetration of the Jackson considering how fast the Jackson is and how easily it can close in. Elefant is not in need of nerfs the problem is just the doctrine being too good overall. The ISU is OP as it is but also comes in doctrines that are way too strong in team games so it's even worse. You mean to tell me that getting a Jackson to vet3 + using munitions to penetrate a unit that would otherwise be impenetrable by USF roster is OP? Really? Imagine a teamgame where Jackson can't penetrate a 1040 hp tank reliably by any means necessary. And if you're scared for your elefant that the mean old USF player is massing Jacksons.... don't play tanks. With so much pop cap wasted on AT only, axis infantry and team weapons can have a nice little field day with that USF player. In the end, one or two jacksons are not enough to kill an elefant that is supported, in teamgames ofc. 1v1 is a whole different story. In teamgames, USF has to rely on support from teammates to take down elefant or jagd. Because a supported elefant is unkillable. One 70 range tank supported by a one pak and infantry is enough to deal with anything that the USF throws. Best bet is to smoke and hope for the best. But agreed, elefant is not OP. The doctrine is. ISU is also not OP, the doctrine is. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback2 Dec 2020, 09:42 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2020, 07:42 AMVipper That is because the 76mm is OP (part from everything else its vet bonuses are superior to other Shermans), but it does not everything better, Easy8 is more durable having more HP/armor. In what universe is a doctrinal 76mm with penetration values that range from 165 to 220 with ammo switch and reload of 6.1s OP. It's a strong tank, but you pretty much like to throw around the word OP when it comes to any allied faction so I guess nothing new. Same as Pfussies thread. Strong but not OP (same as how you are still saying that the brummbar is UP) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback2 Dec 2020, 07:19 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2020, 06:24 AMApplejack The E8 just isn't good compared to the 76. I made a thread on it a while back but it all boils down to the 76 doing everything better at a slightly cheaper cost. The E8's special is supposed to have no scatter while moving because of the HVSS suspension but the nerf to its main gun makes this special irrelevant especially how bad it is against armour. It used to slay infantry with its main gun (think Panzer 4 projectile combined with no scatter while moving). Without this bonus, the tank becomes really garbage for its cost. The other Rifle commander abilities are pretty lackluster too compared to the newer community made ones like Urban Assault. More info here: https://www.coh2.org/topic/105224/winter-patch-current-state-of-doctrinal-armour/page/1#post_id818268 Pak howi should have accuracy nerf and not AOE and Pershing along with E8 should get in some way buffed to justify their price. Scott is meh anyway so the nerf does not do much. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion1 Dec 2020, 22:28 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2020, 21:31 PMfrustynumber I would rather lose the AT shells on the ISU entirely than deal with a range nerf to HE. It's already extremely slow and vulnerable, add in buffed panthers and nerfed SU85s to support it and you spend the whole game repairing it. What is envisioned as counterplay to the Elefants now that ISU, SU85, T34 and Zis are all nerfed? 1v1 it's not hard to counter the elefant as it's quite slow and once snared becomes an easy target and the maps offer plenty of flanks. 2v2+ as Soviet: Katyusha barrage around the elefant to retreat combined arms infantry around it and then use either vetted T34 and one SU85 to damage the elefant for the snare. At this point if you do not have enough units to kill the elefant, try to damage it as much as you can to make it useless for a longer period of time (repair). Killing it should be done by SU85 and/or ZiS. Support is welcome by the partner. But agreed, Elefant is a cancer to kill with it's 400 armour. TDs will often bounce. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: When are Panzerfusiliers getting nerfed?1 Dec 2020, 16:31 PM Pfussies are strong. No doubt about it. Overall strong units. But not OP In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback1 Dec 2020, 13:23 PM Tightrope tested the Quad. Now it performs worse than any axis counterpart + is T3 + high muni cost upgrade. Only AA HT from USF is worse but that's due to the buggy nature of the AA HT with the tracking. In: COH2 Balance

I'll have to check the COH2 tools again. Maybe you thought you were using HVAP rounds? Either that or a bug. In: COH2 Balance
