Thread: About Jacksons10 Mar 2018, 05:47 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2018, 05:40 AMTheGentlemenTroll I feel that the 75mm sherman would get way to strong against other mediums being the main issue with that, which would be the main reason id prefer a 76mm tank, but either or would be nice. I'm assuming there's no unit added to the roster, meaning the 75mm sherman is what the USF have to work with. and even with 800 hp I believe it's possible to balance out p4 vs sherman using pen and armor. The buff to the sherman's gun from 100-140 hasn't really made it scale that well anyway and I think it can be exchanged for extra HP instead. Taken into large context, the sherman 75 with 800 will work with jackson with 480 hp. In the open the jackson can provide fire support while the sherman with increased hp tackle close quarter.

Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2018, 18:35 PMTheGentlemenTroll I'd say itd be better than what we have now. It would put the Jackson back into a strictly TD role instead of a TD and Dive Tank which makes it so strong. I still prefer a 76mm nondoc unit to act the the USF's Dive/brawler tank. Smoke would be nice also since one of the major issues with prepatch Jackson was that it was super squish and really susceptible to dives or super TDs. my intent was to push Jackson back into a TD role and buff the sherman 75mm instead. increase the sherman health to 800 and it can be a decent dive tank. As a short note, I think the different medium should focus on different attribute to help them scale. panzer 4 get firepower (pen, AOe) with their kwk40. Provide flexible firepower for the more specialist unit. They lack the armor to stand as the front line but their Firepower make them excellent at deterring flanker. sherman get hp and armor with their wet storage and improve late war armor. They serve as cost effective meat power for the allies late game cromwell get speed and evasion. Raiders to support the defensive british. t34-76 would get a useful ram. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Handheld AT solution.10 Mar 2018, 04:20 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2018, 12:14 PMVipper Allies have cloaking TDS. Is any of this remotely relevant to OKW Handheld AT. jackson can't cloak firefly can't cloak Su-85 can't cloak isu-152 can't cloak the only cloaking anti-tank weapon the allies have is the zis gun with doctrine ability.

Thread: Is OKW dead? what's your opinion? 10 Mar 2018, 03:24 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2018, 09:22 AMVipper In that case it not safe to make conclusion about the OKW performance since it has more to do with the synergy of the 2 faction than the individual performance of each factions. (Better infantry from OKW better support weapon from Ostheer.) the nature of team game is synergy. Dismissing the benefit of bringing in a mixed okw/wehr over a wehr/wehr or okw/okw is ignorant on the one of the major draw of having more faction and team game. Except for grossly overpowered or underpowered faction, mixed faction is always going to be the optimal route. It is the nature of two different faction using their own strength to cover the other's weakness. okw/okw team is not going to dominate a team tournament unless the wehr is vastly underpowered or the okw vastly overpowered. Pursuing okw/okw tourney meta is just seeking to make them overpowered. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Sherman in WWII 9 Mar 2018, 06:50 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2018, 21:23 PMAvNY This will also explain why there are more "dramatic" and martial pictures in the "post pictures" thread of the German units. The Germans needed propaganda to survive. Bad news is not allowed in totalitarian regime where a lot more of it can be tolerated in a democracy that has chosen to fight. as good as Erich Hartman or Wittman was, producing one or two great pilot or tank commander is not how you win a war. The Germans also didn´t lose the war because of the Panther. They lost it despite the Panther. the panther and tiger are still impractical tank. The powertrain technology at the time is just not advanced enough to supporting a 45+ ton tank. There was also no truck capable of carrying a 45+ tank by itself. the French in post war cite the panther G as needing frequent maintenance. The final drive had an average life of 150km and the engine itself 1000km. The panther G in late war might not spontaneously combust, but it still require frequent maintenance. In: The Library
Thread: About Jacksons9 Mar 2018, 05:23 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2018, 08:46 AMVipper That does not answer the question which OKW and Ostheer units would counter the suggested M36. (PLS stop bringing up the Puma the chances you suggested to not turn the M36 into a Puma, I have illustrated clearly that M36 and Puma use a different gun profile) okw have jp4. the wehr lack 60m range unit beside the pak, but that's why the jackson sight is limited to 45+5. a lone jackson is still vulnerable to the stug and panther vet 2. There's a reason why Jackson get a hp nerf to 480 in the proposal. this is to ensure the Jackson will still lose in a prolong engagement, but have the tool to retreat. And units like the puma is by nature a high micro unit. People will make mistake, "pro" just make less of them. In: COH2 Gameplay

Okw/okw team is not something we should want to strive for. double okw dominating would have been the worst. We want variety and possibility like mixed wehr/okw team. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet8 Mar 2018, 03:28 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2018, 10:49 AMStug life i said similar, not same, what did u expect a 185 fuel have the same stats as a 240 fuel unit ? even bias needs to have limits; they have the same role edit: reduce the tiger stats by 30% (the 55 missing fuel) then tell me it's still good Stats as in statistic itself. Having 30% more hp is different than having 30% more armor or speed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: About Jacksons8 Mar 2018, 03:08 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2018, 03:01 AMShadowLinkX37 As far as 1v1 is concerned, ISU isn't viable and the IS2 is too inconsistant. Similar to the new KT. Forgot about those, my bad I'm not sure which doctrinal tank you're refering too. The pershing is by no standard of the word "weak" its AoE rivals that of the KT, and its veterancy is paralleled only by the Tiger. It is a phenominal tank. The Ez8s are also borderline OP. For 140F you get a 720HP, 200(?) or 215(?) armor tank that has 0.75 moving accuracy and significantly higher pen than that of standard mediums. Also doesn't have to switch between AP and HE, but the infantry damage potential is less than that of the HE sherman. As far as realism goes, it has little place when determining balance. the pershing will lose to the panther 1v1, much less the tiger and the King tiger. It's basically another great infantry killer the USF doesn't need. and even in 2v2 the USF are running into problem. The USF tank force might be suitable for 1v1 but they get stomped hard by axis armor in 2v2+. The jackson effectively serve as the USF's best anti-tank unit. and if the USF is overpower in 1v1 there's more suitable way to address the issue beside keeping the USF tanks weak. Team games are as important to the game as 1v1 duel. and regarding the E8. Despite its moving accuracy and gun there's a pretty big flow. It's the slowest medium tank in the game at 6.1 Top speed and 2.1 acceleration. The panzer 4 will out run it. The e8 is still too weak to out muscle the axis heavy and can't really flank them due to slow speed. Diving is also significantly more risky than being able to reliable win in a slug fight. This is still a ww2 game. Tanks are expected to vaguely follow their IRL characteristic. Tiger and panther are expected to be great in a fight because of "realism". In: COH2 Gameplay
