Thread: More durability for light tanks14 Aug 2015, 23:52 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Aug 2015, 22:26 PMBasilone You're saying that under the assumption that they are all frontal armor shots. Driving straight in to an area where you suspect there is an ATG is never advisable. By the time the AT gun takes the 1st shot and reveals itself you won't be on the outer limits of its range arc, so if you were traveling fast and have to slow down and start accelerating backwards, there is a chance you might take 3 hits that way. So instead of reversing out you could try and keep your momentum going and get behind the ATG before it can take the 3rd shot. Well that works if the ATG is completely undefended, if there is any faust or Shrek unit nearby you just drove right at it...dead. You're saying that like it's a bad thing. Driving with a "delicate vehicle" blindly into its intended hardcounter and getting punished for it sounds perfectly okay. It doesn't matter if your light/medium tanks get shot in the front or back by paks - the damage is the same and deflection chance is totally negligible. Driving backwards is also the same speed as forward. As you noticed, tank combat in general is much more deadlier than in CoH1, with long range AT and very squadwipe-y AI. You either like it or not.

Thread: More durability for light tanks14 Aug 2015, 21:12 PM I'm fine with the healthpool of light tanks as it is. Light tanks (Luchs, Stuart) get 3 shotted, medium tanks get 4 shotted. You can't give them more health without classifying them as medium tanks as well. Jump back to quoted post14 Aug 2015, 20:49 PMBasilone I've also seen Luchs go down to 2 hits as well, can't remember whether it was 57mm or Zis but I've definitely killed them with 2 shots before. That never happened, not without mark target. Scotts shouldn't have 320+ HP, because you can treat them like mortars and can be protected by shotblockers. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Soviet T3 Mega thread31 Jul 2015, 15:28 PM Cost for T3 - The cost for T3 depends hugely on the "powerlevel" of T3 units. If you nerf all of said units, you don't necessarily need to increase the fuel cost. T70 Light tank - The T70 is totally overshadowed by the Quadmount. For the fuel cost it performs appropriately, although i would prefer a slight reduction in AI capabilities (think Stuart) and slight fuel cut, to give it more the role of an affordable scout and less of a two-shotting-clumped-up-squads-in-seconds unit. M5 Halftrack - The Quad does not need to shred light vehicles in 1 or 2 bursts. It wins against every light vehicle except Puma. To make it a more even match between the 222 or 251/17 it should receive reduced penetration, damage or armor. Even with a 40 fuel price tag it would still be a jack-of-all-trades. SU76 - Poor SU76. Nobody used to love you. And now that you shine, your light is to bright. The SU76 benefits greatly in conjunction with the quad - if you nerf the quad, you nerf the SU76. There is no real need for the much more expensive SU85, because the SU76 already does an excellent job even against heavier tanks. The SU85 should be desirably as a main tank destroyer, therefore i would reduce the penetration or range on the SU76. It could receive a camouflage ability in return, so it stays relevant with proper use. That said, i think T4 needs more incentive to be build. Currently T3 is enough to bridge the gap between ISU, IS2 or M4C and only the Katyusha offers real value. A better buildable, non-doctrinal tank than the T34 would go a long way. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger Ace Skin?4 Jul 2015, 19:59 PM I've never understood the appeal of "cool" looking fantasy skins in ww2 games. The tiger ace skin should come in regular ambush camo, with heavy wear and tear, crumbling zimmerit, multiple imprints from shell ricochets and plenty of killrings on the barrel - something that has seen and endured countless battles.

Thread: KT reduced frontal armor, really??1 Jul 2015, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2015, 15:30 PMThe_rEd_bEar Easiest way to spot a noob in coh2, they think the kt is too weak I think the KT was barely viable pre-patch and is absolutely not viable this patch, considering the current potency of tank hunters. (Excluding 3v3 and 4v4) I wish they would significantly reduce the unnecessary high splash damage (because if you really want to one-shot groups of infantry leave that to specialized units à la Sturmtiger or Brummbär) and give it more armor in return or make at least the spearhead ability somewhat useful.

Thread: 2v2 How to Counter 120mm mortar into t34-85 w/ Shock rifle?17 May 2015, 16:48 PM Against 120mm i would always recommend mortar HTs into tigers. With only 200 mp they are incredibly cost-effective and allow a strong T1-T2. Fuel doesn't matter much, since you won't be teching (like a true champ!). And tigers are very good against guards and T34-85s without Zis support. Walking stuka is for the price not very reliable against 120mm. Often enough they won't wipe the complete squad or leave the weapon intact. And on top of that on certain maps with big indestructible hedges/treelines (crossing in the woods) mortars will be fairly protected from rockets, if the mortar parks right next to it. CAS with stuka divebomb can work in the late game, since the mortar has significant packup-time. Other than that: Use agressive riflenades, spread out units and don't put the medic truck to far forward. Katyusha is something that can't be countered directly in the hands of a cautious player. On small maps CAS AT strafe may be your best bet. A sneaky JP4 or P4 can work, but it relies on the enemy to make a mistake. In: Ostheer Strategies
