I dont think peaple need to make more of an issue with volks than it is, sure their broken vet got toned down and now they might scale a little to bad lategame.
No need to change entire tech structre for a slight 5-10% acc or rec acc buff needed at vet 5 |
i would take mp40 volks over stg44 volks any day of the weak, sure they can struggle vs specialised cqc spezialists but hey, they get acces to smoke nades, amazing and cheap regular nades and a rec acc buff.
So basically i feel like both upgrates are fine it basically comes down to what you try to achieve |
i think pershing per se is fine, since it can deal substantial amount of AI, can pen heavys and has resonable speed.
Additionally it can be buffed to absurd levels with combined arms.
The main drawback of the pershing is however its maintenance. Rear echalons take ages to repair it, and when you go pershing its basically your only AI (you only wanna be spamming jacksons afterwards)
The repair issue is gonna be adressed next patch, so if i would buff the pershing in any way it would be by putting its armor back to 300 to reduce maintenance and tough it up a little |
1 hour game me and my brother vs cblanco and ikarus
featuring: vet 5 panther, 3 su 85, and a goddam tank battalion of kv1s |
This and the VonManTueffel guy are speaking sense. A_E its your tournament, you're the organizer, and your people thought he was cheating so why don't YOU make the decision and end it sheesh.
Just never the community get involved again, should've kept it down low till the final decision.
what money does he pay the players with? maybe some of those guys wanna see seeking play, so its not really so simple |
Never tried that but you can be right, there is really a lot of damage coming down there.
what about stuka at strafe? isnt that enough to kill a howitzer? |
Panther is supposed to counter all medium tanks and can be spammed. It's also way cheaper than IS-2 and does not require CP. IS-2 is supposed to be countered by Elefant, Jagdtiger, Konigstiger, Jp4s, Stugs, Pak 40s, Pak 43s and finally Schrecks. IS-2 should indeed counter panther, germans have a lot more options to deal with heavy tanks AND THOSE OPTIONS SHOULD BE UTILIZED, not abandonded. You just want to spam one unit to kill everything, and that's not how the game works
what a post of nonsense, so you say it is fine that tiger gets hardcountered by undoc su85 jack/ff but for IS2 we cant rely on the most expensive unit in the german rooster (exept commanders)
getting your is2 countered by panthers is a l2p issue, you play double zis with it. The same thing you do when you play tiger and face su85 |
They're strong vs OKW because howitzers are very strong against forward HQs. Otherwise, Katy is the better option.
its not even strong vs forward hqs, its dmg is minimal since they nerfed it, even on direct hits it barely does more than a pak shot. like others said bombing is much better.
and even for killing units around the base katy is just better |
mg fire is basically just animation, no projectile like at guns tanks etc |
they are worthless. basically a downgraded lfh. I tried using them since i enjoy the LFH a lot but they are just trash.
Just get a kata
Just as a side note there was once a game i build 2 ml20 to kill a LFH, the LFH won |
