Tightrope just casted an ISU vs Ele match on 2v2 Crossing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zobVgWdbyqw&lc=z220fdhyznmnjphdvacdp430iuhqxpjpkceq5btyhy5w03c010c
As u can see, the Ele had a hard time landing shots on the ISU and the ISU bled out both axis players. Even with the supposed best counter, with just minimal support, the ISU can do it's work against infantry and not be too afraid of the Ele.
I didn't know the rear armor was so high at 155. That definitely is the culprit.
Tightrope himself said the axis ele micro was poor
Ele vs ISU play is more how you can use your supporting ATG and infantry. Allies did it better in this regard so they won. I think both units are balanced, it's a map issue when there are no flanking opportunity.
That game was pretty well balanced so just only nerfing ISU/mark target/IL2 will further entrench JT/ele meta. Unless you massively nerf those doctrines too. Those stukas were raining death all game. |
Black commander ? Dude pls
Rembemer what happend with bf5? One big political correctness.
This is why i dont want coh3
I'm not calling for BF5 black Nazis or robot arms. Actually I agree with you that game was a mess.
But one themed RET commander wouldn't be out of place. Think of like Soviet industry. I think CoH2 has done it great so far, keeping females as snipers or tank drivers etc. This is historically accurate and also shuts up the sjw type people. |

It's sad you can't touch or change the faces (it would be cool to see USF urban assault commander have an African American face), but good work .
I think relic would be open to it if you asked, especially as there are unused assets for African American RETS in the game files. |

Go USF and gift a load of armor to your Brit specials weapon reg ally by disembarking your crews
Then have him drop a load of Vickers Ks or piats for said crews
You have a blob with British piats and he gets US armor.
Or you could get a Soviet airborne ally and get him to paradrop svts for your guards or shocktroops
Get USF ally to disembark WC51 and have a British sniper ride in the back, ultimate sniper clowncar

I would be 100% ok with USF crew repairs if the faction didn’t have the best AT gun, best TD, best anti infantry medium and 0.75 moving accuracy on all armour.
And then put it as stock T0, yes I absolutely agree with you! That I support.
Best AT gun? you know it needs to constantly expend munitions to get pen on Pak levels right? (BTW you guys forgot best sniper, wehr sniper) |
|
Relic said no
maybe they were worried about it effecting the single player |
So the stuka makes team weapons useless, allowing them to overperform, but the CalliOP is totally okay.
Comedy
Calli should be closer to vCoH design, let it use the maingun and have rockets secondary. (Maybe you should provide an argument to why you think it's OP, but that would be too much efforts) |

A well repeated argument every time a doctrinal unit or upgrade is nerfed or buffed by some is "well it's doctrinal so SHOULD be better than any stock option".
But is this really a consistent way the game is balanced? Should it be balanced like this? Many balance patches have looked to remove "no brainer" straight up upgrades to squads. Recently Con SVTs and Ostheer 5man have been seen as targets of this design outlook. Ostheer premium P4 or soviet T-35/85 certainly has no downsides in stats and would fall under the "no brainer" argument too no? In the case of those two premium tanks you will never see the stock option built, maybe only a few times for a VonIvan rocket truck inspection.
But contrary to this many units such as Falls vs obers (not necessarily a straight up stronger one, but a different flavor of the same unit) provide some minor choice. Likewise we have the Sherman bulldozer that provides survivability but less mobility. These doctrinal units have trade offs.
I'm curious what everybody here thinks, because there seems to be some contrasting design on just what doctrines should provide. Certainly they are a core part of the game and meta unlike vCoH. |

Take a break from the game
Then when you return don't think about winning, think about fighting against the odds even if your random teammate sucks and improving your own play. Imagine you're the last Soviet conscripts on the axis side of the Volga or the last volksturm defending the Reichstag.
Then you'll have fun again |
Agreed
Make Grens cost 300mp and absolutely nuke every single mainline with 0 risk.
Balance
This squad already exists, they're called obersoldaten |
