Thread: Calliopes22 Dec 2015, 04:30 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Dec 2015, 11:26 AMBarantah Once again, Take Calliope, We USF will be happy to trade it for the Panzerwerfer. Tip : A good player will use a Pwerfer and then send him back to base we're he is unrreachable, so your Tank armor and tank health argument is worthless Pwerfer must be up close to properly wipe squads. come to close and you are one shot killed by pretty much anything other than small arms fire. Yes you can instantly move it back afterwards but you are still at risk while firing. They enemy can also send in any vehicle and hunt down the Pwerfer and kill it easily. The Calliopie on the other hand can literally have LOS on the enemy, wipe them, and walk away unscathed. If the enemy try to rush youre calliopee with anything smaller than a p4, you can simply reverse yourself away taking a couple hits and still have plenty of time to have AT guns and infantry come snare the enemy vehicle before your calliopie dies. You can counter Pwerfer will very cheap light vehicles, you can MAYBE counter calliope with a P4 or higher. heck you can kill pwerfer with calli but not other way around. And you say armor is worthless. Perhaps you play to much 4v4 where you can hide behind 3 other allies. Survivability for all forms of artillery is huge. Especially in 1v1 and 2v2. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How tu use Stormtroopers19 Dec 2015, 17:19 PM There's also some doctrines that allow you to upgrade you infantry with ambush camouflage for 30 munitions. They get a 1.5 damage boost for like 5 seconds coming out of cover. You can put those on your normal pgrens and viola. Cheaper and for all units not just storms. Also allows cloak. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Rapid Conscription19 Dec 2015, 17:06 PM This ability makes a lot of sense for soviets but not really for Ostheer. It's a lot easier to lose 6 models as soviets without losing full squads than is is to lose 6 models from only 4 man squads. Plus is costs more to reinforce your squads as ost and you get the weaker osstruppen as opposed to cons. Plus most commanders with relief infantry aren't really meta commanders. Lightning war being the only exception, has g43s in it which makes seems odd to go along with osstruppen. The two abilities seem backwards to me. Lose core infantry (cons) which come in big squad sizes and get up to 2 more, while with ost you lose core infantry and high reinforcement cost units for up to 3 weaker squads. I don't get it. I've used both abilities effectively but for 120 to get 1-2 osstruppen just isn't worth it imo. I guess using relief infantry would be more effective the second time as you only need to lose osstruppen instead of other units. Grens cost 30 mp to reinforce x 12 (for 2 squads) = 360mp and you get 2x 200mp osstruppen = 400mp. Seems a bit silly. You also risk losing vet squads trying to get your relief infantry. Although I could be wrong. It might be 4 men dead for replacement squad. It also might only cost 90 muni for ost ability. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: AT vs Randoms19 Dec 2015, 16:14 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Dec 2015, 13:34 PMUnshavenbackman All these threads imply that having a at is better than rt. Just get a at-mate which is a complete disaster and youll start loving rt. Trust me, it works. The friends I know in real life who I play with have taught me how to fight the up hill battle. I totally agree In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Calliopes19 Dec 2015, 03:09 AM Perhaps it shows the importance the units were to the army build and how they were all wiped with little warning. In: COH2 Gameplay

"Nerf them both to the ground" "Nerf them both to the ground" "Nerf them both to the ground" That is not constructive criticism. Ok is the fact that one vet 0 calliope barrage killed 3 vet 3 lmg grens constructive enough for you? Im saying that if you wont have calliopes nerfed until pwerfers are nerfed then nerf them both. Its disgusting watching the game be decided in 3 seconds. In: COH2 Gameplay

This is precisely the kind of hyperbolic post that I presume is the reason for Relic being so confused about how to balance their game. If you want to take what im saying as a hyperbole be my guess. I was just describing what happened to me and wishing for it to change. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Calliopes18 Dec 2015, 06:16 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2015, 23:50 PMLuGer33 Why? This game isn't fun when people turtle and build sim cities (admittedly, mainly a big team game issue) and it's less fun when people blob. Long range indirect punishes (and is the most effective hard counter to) this sort of play. It encourages smart infantry movement, aggressive play, and risk taking that makes the game a hellvua lot more fun than sitting your Elefant + Jagdtiger combo amidst a sea of bunkers and Panthers. Idk if you mainly play Ostheer, but obviously that faction has some of the best defensive options in the game w/ MG42 bunkers, Pak-43s, S-Mine fields, Tellers, etc. Throw in a OKW Flak HQ and you have a position that is almost unassailable. There's need to be a counter to this and that's your Calliope, Walking Stuka, PWerfer, and Katy. The rocket artillery is part of COH 2's gameplay. You'll punish with it and get punished by it plenty of times. Nothing wrong with it. Now with all that said, the Calliope barrage is pretty devastating. I wouldn't object to it being a bit louder when it fires so Axis players have a better chance to react. I had no bunkers, no pak43s, i had laid down a teller and S minefield. Had 1 pak 40 2 mortars 3 lmgs 2 mg43s pios and a scout car. I was hardly camping. The left side of the map where i was focusing was switching between myself and the USFs player right up until his 1 calliope barrage. I wish that artillery was only used for cases like the ones you described. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What to do against calliope?17 Dec 2015, 23:37 PM At this point, lose. Way to hard to kill. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Calliopes17 Dec 2015, 23:28 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2015, 23:22 PMBarantah Well take Calliope survivability(wich is useless for rocket arty, it still die from strafe/loiter in 1 run, Calliope survivability is usefull when a tank charge it, and it shouldn't happen at all), I take Pwerfer shorter but more powerfull burst. Unless you stay in the area to take the 3 salvo of the Calliope, you're not near the wiping power for the Pwerfer(Press retreat button when you saw the first rocket hitting the floor still wipe 2/4 squads each burst, check my latest replay). Nerf them both to the ground. Or high more damage but lower AOE ---> less likely to wipe single squads but will really hurt big blobs. In: COH2 Gameplay
