Thread: Can we adjust the Scott already?5 Mar 2019, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2019, 16:18 PMWingZero Lol what? USF is a very mobile army in the game. Also, USF will need to commit to a commander doctrine in order to fight defense Wehrmacht/OKW. Other than that, USF has no indirect fire late game that is a stock unit. Firstly i refer to turtle as for other RTS games, wich mean strong lategame defense, and probably a slow but steady map contol increase. So ost with bunker spam and elephant is able to turtle as fir USF with jacksons, riflemen and the new team weapons. Pack howie is a early long indirect fire abke to move, wich means it can deterr enemy defensive positions as a LeFh or Sexton will do. It is underperforming comoared to the lastly mentioned units but its avability and cheapness make up for it. As fir USF mobility it doesnt mean that much if your intentions are holding ground, vps or defend. Its useful to hunt diving tanks or pickup oportunities but it does not affect the faction profile overall. USF has an early aggresive midgame adaptative late game turtle style of play. I hope this elaboration is useful, if you already knew this things pls ignore them In: COH2 Balance

Poor usf have no good lategame idirect fire verus turtle players and still u guys trying to tell me this thing need a nerf. Imo 4vs4 is now on perfect spot but if u desperatly want change then change scott into more anti camper unit than anti blob tool sherman is good enough for this role. Maybe nerf scott autofire attack or delete it and add strong barrage something like little priest with range like rocket arty what u think? Scotts were never meant to delete people with such ease. If your opponent turtles pack howie and priest are your getaway card. Also UFF itself is a great turtler too. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why has the USF regular sherman become so bad...4 Mar 2019, 19:10 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2019, 13:21 PMEsxile Those are countered just fine by both Panthers. In fact, I don't think it is a good idea to build stugs to counter those units if they come in number, Jpz4 is probably better in that way but that's an other topic. Agree with you to a certain point but Lvs or not Ostheer and OKW always have access to pak/raketen to support their Pz4s so I find it questionable that Pz4s became better AT than the sherman over the time when they have all support access from previous tier + the possibility to build a dedicated medium counter. As for buffing the Ostwind, I'm not against but who would build a Ostwind over a Pz4 if not by itself OP in a sens that the Pz4 is already strong vs infantry and strong vs Armor. Say you put the ostwind to Sherman HE level, people will still prefer the Pz4 for its AT capability and still good AI capability. First of all, i dont agree at all the way you mix arguments with excuses, since you do not only not care about how the other faction manages to react to any USF offensive but you deny the fact that such play done properly should be ablo to stop you from gettinv your objectives. Its a double fallacy. Its like sayin "if you raketencheese with 4 or more you instakill a sherman, and still i dont understand why raketen can cloak and kill tanks" this kind of sentences are in the far espectrum or logic arguments agreeable to others PoV. Lago laid out the situation in a neutral PoV, and he tried to explain why pz4 have an edge in AT, sooner or later OST vs USF needs it to keep balance. As for oswind to be a inf counter it would be very healthy for the sake of the game variety, but thats offtopic. Again shermans afe not meant to be superior since USF have either better options in the same time mark or for lategame, they still set the pace of the matchup, since riflemen can put so much pressure and a stuarts just boosts that power. Shermans are more like a reactive play and a neutral one rather than being still aggressive. If shermans were to be ablo to keep that USF pressure power they must be HP nerfed, acc nerfed and become a risky choice rather than a safe one as it is right now In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why has the USF regular sherman become so bad...4 Mar 2019, 18:49 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2019, 12:07 PMEsxile If it was absolutely wild like you mention it, it would have numerous of threads already opened on the forum about it. Does it? I mean there are more threads about the Scott than the Sherman by a large margin. So I'm back to my point. Sherman IA is fine like any other Medium, in fact Medium tank IA performance is probably one of the best balanced thing in the game. See my question from another angle if it is so hard to understand the way I expressed it first: What Stugs and Jpz4 are for if Pz4s are enough to deal with Shermans/Cromwell/T34. As long as you try to justify your point using irrational arguments, no one, not even you is going to believe them. Everyone agrees shermans AI is fine and its HE shells give it sonething to be used for. OST plays defensively earlygame to take a chance with pz4 at midgame. Why do you deny that. Even good OST players tend to force the most of their midgame because its a uphill battle after that. USF in the other hand starts aggresively and becomes adaptative midgame. Later it can take the lead again, since jacksons dominate any tank 1v1. And riflemen can back up the AI department. An OST player that is forced into stugs means he lost too much fuel or is teching into t4. But why do you argue against it, do you pretend for USF to always have an edge in means of firepower, risk/benefit ratio and timing? Thats how you make a faction OP In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Can we adjust the Scott already?4 Mar 2019, 03:17 AM For an indirect fire weapon is rather strange it can fire on the move. Make it unable to autofire unless its set to a stationary mode. Handbrake mode if you wish. It will make them so much micro intensive that no one could exploit its OPness In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Can we adjust the Scott already?3 Mar 2019, 20:32 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2019, 20:10 PMferwiner Of course. All indirect fire units are hard to kill when they use their range. And nobody says it is not the case. The problem is that vipper happened to mention that they are extremely durable, which has nothing to do with staying behind the lines, and that they are great at circle strafing AT guns, which is exactly how you throw a scott. I'm not saying scott is right or wrong. I'm just saying it is not what some members in this thread belive it is. Your definition of durable exceeds its normal values. Firstly you use it equally as tough, wich scotts are not, but secondly you ignore the facts that scotts have higher HP than any other mobile light arty. As for it takes 3 shots it means you have plenty of time to retreat, since the normal ambush uses 2 AT guns at most. Lastly because scotts have such a high performance in other role than their intrnded role (indirect fire cover) OP asked for a discussion. Not its durability, not his mobility, but its AI autoattack power. Nice derail there tho. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Revamping the revamped Firestorm doctrine 3 Mar 2019, 19:59 PM I love all the OKM changes suggested. Interesting re design and less cheese too. I woul like to ask. What if volks came with MP40 by default and you weapon upgrade them into kar98s? Full offensive scheme. Firestrum could then give flamenades to volks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we adjust the Scott already?3 Mar 2019, 19:32 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2019, 17:40 PMferwiner Extremly durable? Come on. You can call KT durable (not extremely durable), an elefant, or IS-2. But definitely not the scott. If the scott is extremely durable then how do I describe an average medium like sherman or p4? Indestructible? Comparing scotts to a IS2 or KT. Man! Really? And then You won the internet most retarded sentence in a single strike!. For real when my scotts get hit by any kind of AT, i simply take them back and use smoke to cover its retreat path or the attacker unit. It has an audio queue and everything. The only scott that dies to its "fragility" is the one who plays hero against a Pakwall. Scotts are survival enough because of that 400HP vippen mentioned and its high mobility. Scotts are nothing like sitting ducks like other long range mortars or howitzers In: COH2 Balance
