Its accuracy isnt as bad as people think. It does have a longer reload time which means every missed shot lowers its DPS more than if any other tank misses. I don't know about you, but when i use a racketen, its always moving around to hunt down vehicles which leaves you with no time to spread out your units. Unlike all other AT guns, it lacks a shield which only makes matters worse. In: COH2 Balance |
Thread: Demo Charges are fun.26 May 2015, 23:31 PM
Demos require 1 CE squad out of combat for about 15 seconds. The counter to demos require a pioneer/sturmpio with a mine sweeper with EVERY squad (and tank) in combat for the rest of the game because they could be anywhere on the map. Yes demos have a counter. Do they have a feasible counter? No. This may be hard for some of you to understand, but demos actually (imho) encourage blobbing because you can protect your whole army from demos with 1 minesweeper. If you didnt blob you would need to buy a sweeper for every unit that moves on its own. In: COH2 Gameplay |

agreed. Demos are fun. No patch required for demos. use sweepers Using demos is super fun. Having them used against you isn't. Allow a sweeper upgrade to ALL axis infantry then its fine. Having to buy 4 pioneers so that all your troops have a sweeper isnt feasible. Demos vs blobs are ok. Demos versus 1 or 2 harassing or flanking units is not ok. In: COH2 Gameplay |
Thread: Tiger and IS226 May 2015, 00:36 AM
If it comes down to tiger vs IS2 the IS2 will win unless flanked due to better penetration and armor. If each have a pak or Zis supporting them it depends on the situation. If its a standoff (all units face to face) the IS2+Zis will win due to the IS2s better armor which will bounce every shot from the pak and often the tiger as well. If the tiger and pak are firing from different angles the pak+tiger will win due to 1. Faster ROF and 2. more accurate tiger which will easily wipe the Zis. Mind you all these situations are hugely dependent on RNG but these are the most likely cases. The heavy armor of heavy tanks make them very frustrating to fight because the can so easily bounce AT guns and in some cases wipe them in return. I was playing a game the other day where I had 4 AT guns (2 paks 2 stolen Zis) and my team mate and i were against 2 Soviets who both got IS2s and they would walk up to the wall of AT guns, kill a few then retreat with next to no damage taken. My tiger couldn't chase them because they were too fast. Panthers are the only real threat to the IS2s imo because they can actually chase them down. In: COH2 Balance |

Demo charges aside? Assault Engies are only good because they can make demos. AEs and AGs arent useless in combat but when taking into account their cost and their combat role effectiveness (flanking), they are extremely shadowed by other stock unit alternatives (Pgrens and Rifles respectively).

IS2 one shots racketens. Only two things that threaten IS2 are panthers and other heavies. Everything else bounces off the front armor whilst the IS2 one shots its enemies. If it hits... Even tigers will bounce of IS2 armor on a regular basis unless flanked. In: COH2 Balance |

I know how to fix demos: stop blobing. say you have a fusiller squad worth 290 MP with a 90 munitions G43 upgrade. Boom. Hit a 90munitions demo while flanking. Just wiped a squad (may have had vet too) essentially for free. Much balance. In: COH2 Gameplay |

True but they cant fire while sprinting and the enemy can just soft retreat to allied forces. In: COH2 Balance |
