I don't see any difference between the OKW Panther and the Ostheer Panther, except that the OKW Panther cost more on fuel because of the low fuel income OKW has and it can get to vet 5 which is probably a reasonable price compared to the Ostheer Panther.
I don't think the kubelwagen can reverse in a heartbeat. In my experience the kubelwagen always move forward a little bit before backing up. I don't know why but it delays them from reversing.
Random player dropping from matches is a good reason to play with friends. Befriend players that stick around all match, make up a team and end up playing with less people dropping in your side.
If you don't have any friends to play coh2 with then I suggest Simba and Timone.
I'm familiar with this horrific living contraption ;/ Of course the Russians came up with the idea.. the nice irony to it was, that they trained their dogs to run under the tanks - with their tanks during the training. When they attempted to deploy the anti tanks dogs "funny" thing happened.. the dogs started to run back toward the russian tanks lol, because they were used to the smell of the diesel, and not of that of the gasoline. Poetic justice I'd say..
Are Shermans still able to damage the Puma with HE rounds? The Puma is maybe only slightly cheaper but the Sherman is much more effective at killing infantry. For the same price you can have a weapon that can kill the puma and kill infantry at a much better rate.
You also have access to a more reliable AT gun that will reliably penetrate the puma and a puma does only a little damage to an AT gun while a Sherman can wipe a raketenwerfer.
I don't see a problem with the Easy 8. Isn't it exactly the same as the M4C Sherman that the Soviets have? The Panther is superior, better armored, and can penetrate the Sherman 100 pct of the time. The only problem I have is that the PANTHER KEEPS MISSING.
When Peter was playing a community game he kept complaining about his MG setting up backwards. I'd say it's coming through the pipeline.
We are all frusted by this bug and this got me thinking that the developers working to fix this are probably as frustrated as we are. I hate it when I work on a game and things just don't work at all and having no idea how to fix it. Like what kind of weird scripting forces the MG to do such a stupid thing, how does that even happen!!!!!
Tiger is being easily penetrated frontally by SU85, ZiS etc right now. Meanwhile panzerschreks are bouncing 90% of the time on IS2 front armor, even 50% side, Panther bouncing front and side like 40%, even Tigers and KTs are bouncing on IS2 right now, KTs only get a good shot on IS2 like 1 in 3/4 times.
IS2 is super strong against all axis AT weapons right now except JT, Elefant and Pak43 and 2 of those 3 are dead.
So I say no, I say it is you who needs to play all sides. But really I don't even need to point that out because everyone who has even heard of CoH knows you are the most biased CoH person ever.
I think these statistics are wrong but ..... RNG can work enough wonders to mess up someones head and ruins some people's prespective.
