Tanks IS. Combat use. And in all Russian sources it is these numbers. If the IS-2 is a Soviet tank, then most likely that Russian sources are truer than yours. 1) Kubinka crap have deen disproved by Aberdeen tests and historians ages ago. 2) What tells me those are your source ? Link me those tests or a direct report, otherwise you could claim anything you want and pretend it is written somewhere. All you did was copy paste a forum post, it can be seen a mile away. Zaloga IS-2 Heavy Tank 1944-73 https://books.google.com/books/about/IS_2_Heavy_Tank_1944_73.html?hl=it&id=gHWICwAAQBAJ 8-11 degrees per second, depending on the turret model In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper6 Dec 2018, 19:18 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 17:50 PMWiderstreit Yep, that is also what I think. Making them like in CoH1. Cheap longe-range units. Maybe removing the STG44 upgrade. Edit: And then nerfing bars and maybe lock the Tommies for 2nd item-upgrade with the 5-men-upgrade. So you have to upgrade bevor you can equip a 2nd Bren. They already are long range unit, since except brits bren the unit will have a better time facing the enemy from the longest ranges. Except mp40 volks. Having played vcoh, coh 1 volks to coh 2 okw don't make any sense, and in coh 1 volks aren't cheap long range unit. Wehrmacht in coh1 could get access to superior infantry quite soon compared to okw. Nontheless they could get mp40 and be decent cqb infantry In: COH2 Balance
Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?6 Dec 2018, 19:12 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 16:56 PMCrecer13 The turret was driven by an electric rotary mechanism or manually. When the drive was in operation, the maximum rotation speed of the turret reached 2.4 turns per minute. one source The speed of rotation of the IS-2 turret was 13-16 ° per second, that is, 22-28 s was required for a full rotation of the turret. The electric drive allowed to turn the turret with the engine shut off and the tank roll to 15 °. The hand drive allowed the turret to be rotated at a roll of 8.3 ° with a force of 16 kgf. For comparison, the German heavy tanks had a hydraulic or manual turret drive. The speed of rotation of the turret hydraulically dependent on the number of revolutions of the engine (that is, when the engine was inactive, the hydraulic drive was useless), being in the range from 5 to 19 ° per second. Reports on studies of German heavy tanks in Kubinka claim that the hydraulic drive is complicated and cumbersome, and its management is inconvenient. another source What source ? In: COH2 Balance

For comparison Shermans did it in 15 and most modern MBTs have ~9-12. Yep. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?5 Dec 2018, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2018, 20:45 PMKatitof You can have heaviest tank with underpowered engine and overweight turret in WW2 or you can have one with decent mobiliy and turret traverse. You can't and won't have both. Not in one package. King Tiger had the same hp/ton as the Pershing, having a 700hp maybach engine. It also had over 15 degrees per second of turret traverse compared to the pre war levels of the is2 with only 10 degrees. We already know you have no clue of how these machine performed, from crane reload of the sturmtiger to the "underpower" tiger engine, and realism isn't a balance argument. Just stick to trying to provoke Vipper will ya ? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Steel Division 25 Dec 2018, 16:03 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2018, 23:34 PMTheGentlemenTroll There was also a big old angry pushback by the WG crew who were upset the game wasn't WW2 WG reskin. Game played surprisingly different than WG and I feel like a lot of WG vets were upset about it. If by "different" you mean with no emphasis whatsoever on flanking and tactics using long three lanes streched maps, while having huge gameplay mechanics issues...then yes You make it look like WG fans were angry because it wasn't WG. Truth is, it had absolutely no soul and massive flaws, regardless of WG legacy. Useless deck composition that forces you to specific playstyles set in stone the moment you pick a division (you don't pick a PanzerDivision, you pick THE 9th Panzer, that is restricted even more compared to building a generic panzer division like WG would have let you do) (to add insult to injury, most divisions were ultra predictable before the game would even start), snipers being outranged by any infantry squad with medium machine gun, awful surrender mechanic exploitable, logistic dumbed down , OP flamethrower meta all over again after WG EE (even worse with the new surrender mechanic), useless AA, non replenishable infantry, rng'ness of armor fights... Not talking to you or any of you, but the faster the circlejerk of "muh Wgeam fANbOis KiLlEDD MEI gaEm" SD devs and fans alike drop the narrative that WG players simply didn't want to play this increadible flawless masterpiece called SD for prejudice, the faster the company can actually realize what are SD flaws and fix those flaws for the future.

Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?5 Dec 2018, 15:03 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2018, 10:54 AMSander93 Switchable HE/AP rounds will cause extra trouble with HEAT shells. Also, it makes the KT arguably weaker because it is supposed to be an all-rounder that can fight most threats simultaniously because it is so expensive and high pop cap. The Sherman shells work because it fits into a larger unit composition in which it can work as AI with other units providing AP and switch to AP when needed. The KT wouldn't have that luxery. IMO the easier fix is to simply give the gun spread out AOE damage with better accuracy/scatter (i.e. Brummbär profile), which would also help it a bit in AT department (higher acc). Then lower veterancy requirements (like by a lot) and maybe move Spearhead to vet1. It won't be fixed until turret traverse and mobility don't become decent In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Overnerfed Brummbar. Why am I not surprised?2 Dec 2018, 22:41 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2018, 22:32 PMTheGentlemenTroll No he hasn't, one tricks claim that the community devs have a "bias" against their faction every time it gets nerfed. Like the Brummbar has been OP for forever and arguably gotten 10x easier to use since they changed the Attack Ground 100% accuracy BS and gave it a larger AOE. It could drive up bounce a fuck ton of shit thats suppose to counter it then oneshot squads. Only a completly bias moron would claim the Brummbar didn't need a nerf. U trynna tell me all these faction one tricks are RIGHT Not saying that Bruumbar is fine, but the one shot part is wrong IMHO. The gun actually got a lethal radius of 1.11 m, relying on large (6 m ?) aoe to deal non lethal damage that quickly drops, at the edges it's not even a double digit number. The gun is..."political", guaranteed hit but guaranteed non wipe. The issue, IMHO, is the durability. It needs to be punished if caught with the pants down. In: COH2 Balance
