Thread: jaeger infantry commander viability?2 Jul 2013, 21:04 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2013, 18:04 PMAdder One important thing I learned from the DPS calculations from yesterday is that the G43 is pretty much always better than getting the LMG: DPS chart That in and of itself practically makes this doctrine worthwhile. Based on this chart it appears to have better dps than the Sturmgewehr 44 both close and far as well. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: T70 needs IMMEDIATE NERF2 Jul 2013, 16:59 PM No-one here wants to see games decided by who can best take advantage of an exploit, be it T-70s or the German strafe attack. We want to see games decided by player skill. Unfortunately many of the game balance discussions devolve into bickering over which of the 1-2 exploits that are breaking the game is more powerful, instead of finding ways to eliminate them all together.

Thread: T-34/76 feels plain pathetic 1 Jul 2013, 21:00 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2013, 20:10 PMUGBEAR 1. There's no OSTWIND in 1941&1942, your argument is invalid at the very beginning 2. 37 flak penetrates 31mm armor at 500M(IIRC or even less), T-34 has sloped 45mm ALL-AROUND 3. "Superior" German Force knocked out bunch of T-34 at 1941&1942 do not support your "It could most certainly penetrate the armor of the T-34/76" assumption, they are two different story..... Personally I don't think the Ostwind or Wirbelwind should even be in the game. Fewer than 200 combined total even saw the field. We are talking about a couple of weapon systems that were cobbled together out of old knocked out PZIV chassis, some FLAK and sheet metal. The KWK 37mm L/45 could penetrate 31mm of armor at a 30 degree slope from 500m using PzGr 40 ammunition. I'm assuming that's the gun you are referring to. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shouldn't the T-34 be stronger than the Panzer IV?1 Jul 2013, 13:24 PM In reality the T-34 has many disadvantages on paper, and in use. For example: -Poor quality of metals used in its armor. -Vastly inferior optics for the main gun. -No radio communications -3 man crew size. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: T-34/76 feels plain pathetic 1 Jul 2013, 12:42 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2013, 06:33 AMMarxist Pgrens can be out in about 3-4 minutes. T70 isn't going to last long against a faust or Shreks. Even a scout car cannon can clean it up from the rear. The fact that the FLAKpanzer can go toe to toe with a T34 is also laughable. Ostwin is so ridiculously good against infantry/AT guns and also has FREE anti-air. It shouldn't be able to penetrate a T34, which was one of the best tanks of the war. The Ostwind has a 37mm auto-cannon. If it were firing armor piercing shells, it could most certainly penetrate the armor of the T-34/76. The Germans were relying on PZIII with 37mm and 50mm main guns up until late 1942 when the 75mm L/43 variants of the PZIV started seeing service. Even though the T-34 greatly outnumbered them, they still managed to knock out 2,300 T-34's in 1941 and a further 6,600 in 1942. It is certainly possible for the Ostwind's main gun to damage a T-34. The question is whether or not it carried any of the right type of ammunition to do so. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ever a reason to get an ostwind over a PIV?28 Jun 2013, 18:26 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2013, 18:16 PMdarkerdayzud I dont think it should be weaker against tanks than it is....your losing much more than the soviet here. The T-34 is dirt cheap while the Ostwind is 115fuel! They come out at about the same time....if in the end all you do is reduce the T-34s health down by 2/3ds its still a big blow to your mid game. I was only suggesting a reduction to the Ostwind's strength against tanks if it were made cheaper (80 fuel for example). In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Ever a reason to get an ostwind over a PIV?28 Jun 2013, 16:14 PM I like the idea of reducing the fuel cost, but it should be slightly weaker against Soviet tanks if the cost is decreased. Currently the Ostwind can go head to head with e T-34/76 and reduce it's HP by 2/3 before getting knocked out. In: Ostheer Strategies

Had a match were the guy got one at 6 minutes on kolodny winter completely wreaked me. http://www.coh2.org/replays/4366/6-minute-t-70 The up gunned scout car can knock out a T-70.
