Thread: Walking Stuka16 Jul 2014, 12:10 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 13:35 PMJHeartless Yes please someone show us on the replay where the walking stuka touched you...please not super spam mode replays... http://www.coh2.org/replay/20517/stuka-rape 11 mins - instant retreat, still lost something 13mins, double squad loss. because creeping barrage demolishes houses. 16mins, another squad loss. is that considered a blob? 18mins, escaped relatively unharmed, probably luck 21mins, instant mortar death. anti blob tool is one thing, instant squad wipe is another. also, throughout the game, blobbing was mostly on the german side. we did our best to spread out but only to be met with 'anti blob' tools and still get wiped. also 10mins stuka? relative early game power of sturm pioneers prevented us from holding onto fuel. please defend stuka harder.

Thread: Stuka rape16 Jul 2014, 12:08 PM this was probably the most infuriating match to play against. the fighting wasnt particularly good, there was nothing particularly great about the players too. fightings were bland, squad wipes here and there but epic stuka barrages. but please, defend the stuka harder guys, its not imba, it never was. instant squad wipes are nothing, it makes for perfect balanced games.

Thread: Infantry Blobs14 Jul 2014, 04:05 AM considering ostwind is armour and rifles are infantry, they are two separate classes. naturally ostwind is immune to rifle fire, only bazookas which makes up for 95% of the firepower in the blob. but an mg is pretty much infantry too, it is not immune to rifle fire then can be exposed 95% of effective fire in a rifle blob, assuming he only has 1-2 bazookas. so he is not exactly wrong either. mg has range but no vision, but people who use them are not setting them up well. infantry must screen mg to draw fire and provide vision, not stand behind the mg and hoping suppression kicks in fast enough, before they send in infantry. it should be the other way around.

Thread: Quick Question: Assault Grenadiers14 Jul 2014, 03:53 AM imo, with all the counter sturmpio tactics that everyone is applying now, i'd rather not use assgrens early on. but have anyone tried using them at midgame to flank around maxims and lone conscripts capping squads. i can see these guys beating the hell out of lone cappers except shocks or maybe a microed guards squad. not to mention they have sprint so they can get into lethal range faster, that might provide an edge over pgrens who are little bit more expensive but having more firepower.

Thread: What happened to blizzards?14 Jul 2014, 03:45 AM blizzard was kinda fun, you could sneak around laying mines and what not and walk up to mg to toss a molotov. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Walking Stuka11 Jul 2014, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 14:18 PMKhan Everyone bitching about Stuka 'wiping everything' along its path, please post a replay to prove your claim. I've literally seen maxims not suffer a single casualty even while being in the firing line. The only time I've seen the thing rack up more than 10 kills in a barrage is when my opponent is blobbing 3+ squads. I reiterate; most of the people whining on this thread are complaining because the Stuka instawipes their blobs, which is a fair punishment for blobbing in the first place. For reference, check out the replay I've posted in this thread of a 2v2 against the OP. holy shit, i have its right here in the thread. i posted one. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Walking Stuka11 Jul 2014, 10:43 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 09:29 AMdrChengele People complaining about the Stuka only see one thing : the impact of the rockets. Here is what the Stuka actually is : - a very expensive rocket artillery - in a fuel-starved faction (let's not compensate the fuel cost, but rather say it can never be spammed and having a Stuka DOES significantly reduce a player's ability to field armour) - with the longest cooldown in the game + has a hard hitting attack If you are on the receiving end here is what you think it is: + a rocket artillery that has a hard hitting attack Which is why you want it nerfed. After all, that's what a Stuka is for you. The six rockets falling on your support crews. What do you want it to be able to do for its cost and faction/tier placement? Alright - nerf it. Remove its advantage. But better be sure to take away some of those minuses as well. there's a major difference between a hard hitting attack and the ability to wipe everything on demand. sure there are times i get lucky and escape with 1 man left or there are times that the rockets miss me due to a small gap in and im saved. but there are also times where im hit so badly, and instantly losing squads. people defend the stuka only see that it is their only effective anti support teams/blob weapon, the ISG is just a mortar. losing it will mean support teams are harder to counter. it cost 100fuel so it is okay. it takes a long time to recharge. what they dont see are superb mobility, medium tanks will have to really open themselves up to dangers while hunting for the stuka since it can run deeping into its lines after releasing its payload. other factions do need the support teams to counter their infantry and tanks. destroys support weapon at times. almost impossible to retreat from. teching for stuka counters cost just as much and getting the unit to do so also has an extra cost. it is the most effective artillery in the game bar none. OKW effective anti armour options are also available without fuel. racketenwerfer, volks with schrecks and mines. i also thought it was quite intuitive, after the 1st stuka shot, start preparing for anti armour because they will hunt you down. you can cut a little AI down because you have already invalidated their support teams.

Thread: Walking Stuka11 Jul 2014, 08:55 AM its all about timing mr someguy. pgrens come at t2 while sturms comes straight as the 1st unit. simple, jadgpanzer has an amazing frontal armour comes much earlier than the su85, therefore the premium cost. has barely any teching cost and comes together with the ISG. im pretty sure jadgpanzer comes default with that focused sight and has no speed penalty. unlike the su85 but im sure u already know that.

Thread: Walking Stuka11 Jul 2014, 07:10 AM yea that might happen, so i already gave the best solution. make it the way it is, give it a bigger scatter and take away the creeping barrage bombardment. im not asking for a nerf to oblivion. what relic is going to do, its totally their decision. the Lefh18 and priest are actually pretty damned good. im getting 40 over kills consistently with the priest. its only the offmap nukes that are 1 shotting static guns, thats a huge problem, no idea why is hasnt been fixed.

Thread: Walking Stuka11 Jul 2014, 06:56 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 06:27 AMbraciszek 120 munitions is still a lot cheaper than 100 fuel (obviously the 251 costs something, and OKW is going to tier anyways) but converting fuel to munitions and gaining 120 muni is a lot faster than gaining fuel from a munitions conversion. At least thats how it feels like when i need a panzerfusilier upgrade or schrecks on my volks. And OKW having a regular 251, despite it being even more expensive than Ostheer 251 would be nice... Was that the question you were asking? I thought Stuka zu Fuß upgrade was also 120 muni. no, i was trying to point out getting a stuka out for vcoh was alot more difficult and at a point where armour counters are a possibility, since u will need to unlock t4 1st, before you can get the upgrade. stukas then were already very effective, without the creeping barrage style of bombardment. similarly, whether 100 fuel or not, stuka here comes too early @ 10mins and too effective for what it does right now. yes 100 fuel is a considerable investment, but consider its counters, medium tanks. t34s are also exposed to a slew of counters when hunting down the stuka and the t34 is also a 100 fuel investment. it is easy to say bring tanks but volks are already upgraded with schrecks and the possibility of mines. on top of that, 10mins t34 is also pretty early and relatively more risky since either t1 or t2 is needed, and t3 is another 120fuel cost then the unit itself cost 100fuel. so in that sense, flanking a stuka might not be as easy as saying he has opened himself up to tank counters. hunting a stuka is a very risky move to take. lose that tank and you set urself down by a 100 fuel while stuka can continue to wipe units. delay too long, the stuka would have wiped or killed enough models to pay for itself already and your lines/points would already have crumbled.
