Thread: Thoughts on OKWs Flak Half Track13 Sep 2019, 15:01 PM Really it just needs the AOE of its suppression updated. It will only suppress one squad at a time as far as I can tell, even if they are pretty much on top of each other. So you don't even have to try and flank it, just blob two squads with any variety of AT at it and you can more than likely push it off. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: PROPER HETZER ??????27 Feb 2019, 21:46 PM If I was going to change anything with it, it would be to bring it forward to the Mech HQ. As it stands by the time you can build one, there are very few cases you would build it straight away before a PIV or Panther. So now it's basically getting pushed to a late game unit that's only viable if you're up against loads of infantry, and while it is good at that it's not THAT good. I mean I'd much rather have a Centaur or KV-8 flame tank, and you can have a Centaur out before a Hetzer and a KV-8 out at about the same time. If it was brought up to the mech HQ (maybe with some slight performance/cost changes) then I think it becomes a much more viable unit. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Why nobody uses tank traps?27 Feb 2019, 21:26 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2019, 15:13 PMLago Mostly because there are very few uncrushable chokepoints to tanktrap up. Even when there are, mines are much more effective as they'll snare the tank. I think also the build time is just too long to make it worth while when you include the vulnerability of units while building. If somebody tries to build them aggressively they rarely get up more than one before they start taking fire and dropping models. If you're building them safely behind the lines you'll likely end up causing more issues for your own units than theirs. A mine you can quickly plop down and move on. Obviously you don't want traps to be too quick to build so that they get spammed around, but you would probably see them more if knocked down the build time a bit. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?17 Dec 2018, 19:40 PM It just needs some kind of buff versus infantry plain and simple. The pros/cons against armor I'm fine with and I'm even ok with the slow turret speed, but it is just way too ineffective against infantry. I find the OKW lacking in the late game AI department which the KT used to actually do well at, but now I find that's a huge hole for them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger Ace: Unwanted Liability17 Dec 2018, 19:05 PM The fact that it costs as much as it does combined with the penalty makes it useless outside of just tossing it out for fun in a game. When you basically have to suicide charge it to not be screwed by the resource penalties, the fact that it is also expensive means that to get any value out of it you would need to knock out at least a couple tanks and some squads in relatively short order. Keeping the penalty but making the call in free would really be fine. I mean it doesn't come until 17cp and it's not the world wrecker it used to be. The call in being free would allow it to actually be a last ditch effort "oh crap" tank. If you're floating enough MP/Fuel while you're losing to call it in now, a Tiger Ace isn't going to win you that game. In: COH2 Gameplay
