Thread: So...my Tiger kept bouncing against a KV-130 Sep 2020, 00:19 AM Sorry to create such a prolonged discussion. And mainly posters were right on here; it was just a pissed off rant from a guy that watched 3 bounces. Incidentally, during the exchange, my Tiger bounced once. The KV-1 came out first. I think someone called it about the timing of the KV-1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but rushing Tigers isn't really a thing anymore, mainly because of the nerf right? I never did that when it was a thing because it disrupted the balance of my army. If so, there's really no reason for KV-1's to come out so early now. Anyway, I'll attribute it to bad RNG, go for a panther instead for flanking manuevers, and move on. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: So...my Tiger kept bouncing against a KV-129 Sep 2020, 01:18 AM Something like 420 mp/180 fuel vs. 620 muni/250 fuel. Would like to hear the explanation for that. 'Tiger OP' Yeah, whatever. And no, I didn't try to flank with it. My fatass could outrun the Tiger. Sorry, just pissed off. Even had a pair of PG's with Schrecks and could absolutely do nothing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Please help me choose commanders.28 Sep 2020, 07:45 AM 1v1 (German Side) I run: Ostheer: German Infantry (5 Man Grens) Jaeger Infantry (Good all around) Strategic Reserves (Pioneer Satchel Charge Go Boom) Ostruppen (Good defensive doctrine) Elite Troops (Munition heavy, but bolsters up your infantry) OKW: Luftwaffe (Upgraded Fallschirms ROFLstomp) Breakthrough (Fusilers with G43's and Schrecks) Scavange (JLI, Ostwind) Feuersturm (Hetzer that pisses fire) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: US vs OST - Critique28 Sep 2020, 03:25 AM In my opinion, you lost the game at the 27 minute mark when those PG's nuked 3 units and stole one of your AT guns. You had your AT guns to far forward with no protection. Punctuated it at the 43 minute mark wrecking your armor by using shot blockers to block your AT guns. You took too long to build a Jackson. If you go AA Halftrack, your first tank is delayed, so have good AT when the PIV comes out first. You were too aggressive with the MG42 you stole. Should've kept it in a more defensive role. That's something that would give PG's trouble. Same with the AA halftrack; keep it supported because it's armor is made of mashed potato. That AA halftrack was asserting your dominance into the mid game. Guy built a lot of PG's against you, preserved them and vetted them up. Get rid of the Pershing bulletin and substitute it for 'Infantry Gets 10% more experience'. USF's core strength is their infantry. Preserve them, vet them and concentrate using Double BAR's on them. Don't bother putting AT on your rangers. Make them anti-infantry killers. Your opponent went DOuble PG blobs, you could've went double Ranger Tommies and wrecked his face. You started bogging down in the mid game. Leave your portable AT work to your RE troops with double zooks. When you had all the victory points and there was a lull in the action, that's when you lay mines and shore up your defenses. If you ever feel like playing, I'm an OST/OKW exclusive player. Would be happy to duel you sometime. In: Replay Reviews
Thread: Why Soviets are OP28 Sep 2020, 02:01 AM They are not OP, but they can be difficult to handle. They have the best mortar, AT gun and in my opinion, the best AI unit in the game (Shock Troops). Combined with the 7 man Conscripts/AT Penals, they can be very hard to handle. But not impossible, even 1v1 with OKW. I have found if you can ambush their T-70 early and take it out with a double shreck and a faust, you've basically crippled Soviets mid game. They rely on it way too much. Often, I'll forego the Clown Car and opt for PG's because of how difficult it is to micro from getting snared by a Conscript Nade or AT Satchel. Shock Troops really annoy me, even against Vetted Obers with an MG34. Unless you get lucky and hit a skill nuke nade, you won't drop their units until they get into optimal range, even if you are behind green cover and they are moving through negative cover. I typically have to use double Falls to deal with them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerfüsilier Squad VS Volksgrenadier22 Sep 2020, 14:30 PM If you are comparing them as mainline infantry; there's no question; Fusilers are better. More units, only 20 more manpower, hold their own all the way into the late game especially vetted. And you can have one running around with double schrecks, model 24 and AT grenade. Their negatives are they are more to reinforce, and 80 muni for G43's and 100 muni for Schrecks aren't cheap. Their G43's are good at medium range and on the move. Occasionally they'll snipe a unit retreating. Volks with STG44's get a good power spike in a relatively small window. Fusilers may not necessarily pour out DPS and wreck Shock Troops/Rangers, but neither do Volks, but they do a lot better against other mainlines in the late game. I use Fusilers quite a bit with Sturm Offizer, that mark target really turns them on. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: State of G43 Grens21 Sep 2020, 13:37 PM Been playing Elite Troops again, and losing heavily. I try establishing a munition farm early for my lead 2-3 Grens with MG42/MG42 (or 1x Mortar), and Grens simply don't have enough DPS to take on unvetted mainline infantry. Penals will rip 4 man G43 Grens to shreds. 7/6 man cons rip vetted G43 Grens to shreds. US Infantry rips vetted G43 Grens to shreds. UKF infantry rips G43 Grens to shreds even before bolster. I really hate being locked into 2/3 Doctrines (VSL, Strategic, Ostruppen) in order to be competitive. And honestly, the stun grenade, for what it is, is not good enough. I wish it had a feature where if the enemy retreats, it still slows them for 2-3 seconds so if you do ambush a unit with it with Stormtroopers, they can't easily just run away without unit loss.

Thread: Sander's personal balance changes21 Sep 2020, 04:07 AM Love the patch changes. Of course being a German player, love all the changes made, especially the JLI upgrade (if this patch is somehow invoked, I can play Elite Troops again). OKW needed the most work and it showed in your patch notes. This would make them viable but not OP. If I may suggest something for Fallschims, instead of removing an upgrade entirely, how about changing them to something along the lines of what you suggest. Remove the nuke nade and add a Sabotage package? Let them have an AI grenade similar to shocks and add a sabotage package? Sabotage Package - 50 munitions (Once Heavy Panzer is built) Access to satchel charge, access to smoke grenade (similar munitions) In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Fix the "Fuel Drop" ability of the Lend-Lease commander13 Sep 2020, 23:53 PM Not as bad of a ability as Ostruppen Reserves or such variant. Agree with other on here that ability needs to be revamped to partially refund manpower In: COH2 Balance
