Thread: Allied infantry vs Axis tanks6 Oct 2016, 04:56 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Oct 2016, 04:31 AMelchino7 They are light vehicles vs saving medium/heavy tanks while also sipping away with blitz (reminder that those complains comes from vanilla coh2). The complain is basically it been a panic button. I'll argue they did it correctly with the Sherman (although it cancels the movement but at least now you can still move after the order is sent) and the UKF smoke is more situational (basically block vision on support weapons). fair enough In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied infantry vs Axis tanks6 Oct 2016, 02:05 AM I find it funny how ppl in the past complained about panzer tactician being OP while the m20, AEC, Puma, and flak half-track all have it non doctrinal. Heck Cromwell's and Sherman's can also fire it at range and that's also non doctrinal. Comet fires WP too lol. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to counter Panlisers5 Oct 2016, 23:05 PM Vehicles. If they get guards to counter your vehicles---> cry silently in the corner. Depending on map and assuming 1v1, double hmgs. If they get sniper, get a sniper of your own. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Ostheer Panther5 Oct 2016, 20:49 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2016, 19:29 PMMr.Smith All of the facts you mentioned are completely counteracted by the fact: 1) The Target-weak point ability can be used to knock a target out for 15 seconds. If any single faction in the game possessed a 280MP/90FU tool to render a King Tiger unable to fire for 15 seconds, the universe would go up in flames. However, that's precisely the strength of the ability that the Stug possesses. Perhaps, the reason people don't realise how completely OP this ability is is because the UI icon has deceived them that all it does is turret locking. Instead it completely disables the main gun. Oh, yeah, in addition to the turret locking, the ability further boosts the penetration of the shot to 290 for full damage. 2) Stug has amazing penetration in addition to insane rate of fire Yes, SU76 has good penetration too, with better range. However, the Stug deals full 160 damage, whereas the SU76 deals 120 My question to you is: Does Stug really need all following 3 items at the same time, given its low cost: - 160 damage - 190 penetration - insane rate of fire Yet, yes; the Stug is on the same level of bullshit as: - Vet3 LMG riflemen - Call-in tanks - Firefly Tulip stun - PIAT sapper blobs - etc Stug has good penetration AND damage. It's AMAZING. I GET THAT. however contrary to what you said, I believe all my points DO offset the stugs insane DPS. Please tell me how the stugs ability to disable the enemy tank for 15 seconds, pen all tanks, deal 160 dmg, relate to its health, it's bad LOS, it's fixed turret, it's poor range, and the fact that allied infantry almost all have effective AT weapons against the stug? Hint: THEY ARE UNRELATED. If you actually look at my points, I'm not doubting the raw stats of the stug. I'm looking more at the in game issues it struggles with. Pathing, FOW, the amount of counters to it etc. These effects CANT BE EXPLAINED WITH STATS. On paper the stug is OP, in game it's perfectly balanced. It's a glass cannon, in perfect conditions it can 1v1 any medium tank that has less range than it. It can't flank enemy armor. In reality it can often be free XP for enemy infantry tanks ATGs etc. I respect your input more than any other person on this forum since you look at the stats and facts. However I feel like your focus on stats in this situation is inflating your opinion of the stug. My humble opinion. Please don't take this personally. Edit: To answer your question about the SU76, which has better tracking and range? Which has a free artillery barrage? You know this just as well as I do, Allies always have more general tanks that are good for AI and AT. Stug can beat SU76 in a 1 on 1 fight but thats like saying panther is better than comet since it can beat it in a fight for less cost. We both know comet is better than the panther at this point. You can use the same comparisons with the stug and SU76. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Panther5 Oct 2016, 19:18 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2016, 09:12 AMMr.Smith The Stug is just way too OP for cost/popcap. This unit is just so good at killing almost anything (even king-tigers, if it ever had to face them), that it even outperforms dedicated 130FU+ tank destroyers. There is never going to be a room for a Panther if the Stug has to continue performing the way it does. That's because it's way easier to replace a Stug if it ever dies (e.g., to pathing), and it hurts your upkeep less if you have to have an idle Stug around, rather than an idle Panther around. .... The stug is good because it has amazing ROF especially with vet. However,this advantage is offset by a number of things: 1) fixed turret means you can't be as offensive with it for fear of being flanked. SU 85 would have this problem too but it has larger range and can self spot so it doesn't have to dive to be effective. 2) bad LOS. Requires other units to spot for it and make it effective. It's bad LOS combined with its fixed turret makes it very hard to chase down the fast allied medium tanks. 3) Relatively low range when compared to its allied counter parts. This means it'll always get hit first before it can shoot back when dealing with allied TDs. (Aka it can be easily kited to death. 4) low health and armor means it will easily take damage and be forced off by any form of AT. 5) the amount of AT available to the allied factions. Due to point 4, and the fact that all the allied factions have very viable AT weapons on almost all their infantry (SU requires doctrines), the stug can be can be forced off by infantry, tanks, and ATGs. IMO all these factors offset the insane DPS and cost efficiency of the stug. What's it good against? Medium tanks but even then it can still be flanked and outmaneuvered by them. Tldr: They are hard to use effectively but are greatly rewarded for good micro. They aren't OP but they don't need to be buffed. They are in a good spot imo. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: October 4th Update5 Oct 2016, 05:38 AM You guys don't understand. If you equip a vehicle with one of these skins, all the balance issues will disappear! So BUY THE SKINS In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer Panther4 Oct 2016, 21:36 PM I think we can leave the stug where it is simply due to its low LOS and fixed turret. It's good head on but when flanked it's done. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Panther3 Oct 2016, 18:55 PM It's underperforming but don't say it armor is weak. It has better armor than tiger. Just don't show the enemy your rear. It's accuracy needs help the most. Especially on the move. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Appeal of playing Ost?30 Sep 2016, 20:59 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2016, 20:23 PMAustralian Magic And then you realize that vet 3 Calliope is way better than vet 3 Werfer, vet 3 PzGrens are not that good vs vet 3 Rifles with BARs and vet 3 mortar is nowhere near vet 3 USF mortar Only Pz4 stands becasue of extra armor when compare to Sherman "Axis strong late game" What a myth. Maybe a few years ago but not today. I would love to see how Allies would deal with having the same reinforcement costs as ostheer. 30mp for grens and 42 for pgrens is absurd. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Appeal of playing Ost?30 Sep 2016, 19:38 PM Playing as ostheer is super fun. Playing against certain allied units AS ostheer is not fun. I feel so much more BA with all my ostheer troops at vet 3 compared to having my army at vet with any other faction. My favorite vet 3 ostheer units are the pwerfer, pgrens without Shreks, p4, and mortar. In: COH2 Gameplay
