Thread: panthers reload speed27 Jun 2016, 00:19 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2016, 23:19 PMsinthe Do you think that the performance of the T34 explains the 25% cost difference? the panther doesn't just beat the t34/85 in a slug fight, it also have better range(50 vs 40) than the t34/85. there's a question in the usefulness of the extra range, and I think the panther would benefit in exchanging that range for higher dps. a 10 meter range nerf in exchange for one second faster reload.

Thread: panthers reload speed26 Jun 2016, 22:25 PM even assuming the "side" armor exist, you are not suppose to take hits to the side armor. most tanks in the world have relatively weak rear and side armor as a necessary weight sacrifice. the panther is a tank with speed and acceleration on par with the US and soviet tank. Use it to protect your side from danger. Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2016, 03:56 AMsinthe How often is a medium tank going to be 1v1? The point of the demostration is to show that the panther isn't exaclty worth it's price. For almost the exact same price as a P4 the T34-85 will win 1v1 +90% of the time but against the panther vs frontal armour it will bring the panther consistently below 40% health and the panther costs signifigantly more. And if the T34/85 gets the panthers side armour it will win roughly half the time ( 4/10 + 3/5). A panthers AI is so weak it will lose consistently to rifles with double zooks if they're in green cover. watch your own video. The panther won all ten of the frontal fight, and a good chunk of the them still have 60% hp remaining. 2 out of 10 got close to death but still won. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: panthers reload speed26 Jun 2016, 02:39 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2016, 02:16 AMsinthe I inference I was trying to make was that because tanks like the comet are effective against both inf and tanks there are more targets they can engage with, as where a Panther doesn't have very good AI and is more often held back to wait to engage armour. tanks cost significantly higher than infantry. There are more infantry target, but they are worth significantly less. In addition, experience is determined by damage dealt. A bounce mean either zero experience or some hefty penalty. the high penetration gun on the panther allow it to earn more experience off more expensive tank. Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2016, 02:29 AMsinthe Exellent. In that case my last test with okw panthers and T34-85 produced a result of 4/10 t34/85s winning against panther side armour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bw78P7tiVc So, is the panther under powered or over priced. It's one or the other. what kind of german player is going to just sit there while a t-34/85 is hammering at his rear/side? the panther is one of the fastest tank in the game. If the soviet player spent the effort to flank the panther then the german should spend the effort to move. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: panthers reload speed26 Jun 2016, 02:09 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2016, 18:21 PMsinthe It's also worth noting that comets vet much faster due to their generalist damage profile. that's not how it works. experiences is determined by the target's cost and the amount of damage you dealt. A tank destroyer like the panther or su-85 will vet fast because their primary target are expensive tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: panthers reload speed26 Jun 2016, 02:02 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2016, 02:00 AMsinthe Side armour is the same a rear armour. Fyi. there's front half and rear half of a vehicle/tank. enemy shooting at your "side" is bad because the shot can potentially land at your rear half but it's not a guarantee. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: panthers reload speed25 Jun 2016, 23:23 PM panther have a higher max speed and almost as high acceleration as the t34/85, and that's before blitz/combat speed. the German player screwed up if his panther rear armor is exposed. the panther is one of the fastest tank in the game, only the british crusier are faster. this mean the panther can chase down or run away from most threat in the game.

Thread: Cromwell Centaur AA Tank little bit OP?25 Jun 2016, 22:23 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2016, 14:22 PMMr.Smith Bear in mind that the Centaur has been indirectly buffed this patch (especially in relation to the Cromwell): - Pre-patch, its speed made it very possible to bumrush the Centaur with Volksblobs - Crushing with Cromwell might become more risky now that fausts are better-available - Centaur doesn't care about fausts, since it can kite low-range units for days; even with that acceleration a nerf to the cromwell hurt the british faction in general. it's ridiculous to spin it into a positive for the centaur. the centaur was indirectly buffed due to the removal of the schreck blob, but that's unrelated to the cromwell nerf.

Thread: Stormtroopers should have good camouflage25 Jun 2016, 21:41 PM stormtroopers should have the same camouflage as the commandos. I was disappointed this is not the case. but no ambush bonus, stormtroopers already have tactical assault. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Jagdpanzer 4 price 25 Jun 2016, 11:34 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2016, 09:25 AMCarlos Danger Personally I think it should be 12 population and I've requested a penetration buff as well a couple of times - just to match the Panther. For its part, the cloak ability is clearly broken and needs to be gimped. the firefly and jackson are both 14 pop, and the jpz4 reliably curbstomp both of those TD. In: COH2 Balance
