we have a perfect candidate for penal battalion front line mine-cleaner , OP has been volunteered |
Ostwind is more expensive than a T-34 (80mp, 20 fuel difference, IIRC?, which also means in an even fuel game there's going to be a window where the Russian player can have 2 T-34s to just the one Ostwind). It loses to one T-34 in an even fight (a vet 2 Ostwind can maul a T-34, though) most of the time (in a long distance frontal engagement the Ostwind will usually be able to retreat to somewhere it can get support).
Not really sure it trumps T-3 at the moment.
I don't think it would be a viable first choice if a T-34 which also has AI capability and is cheaper hard countered it and a T-70 had a fighting chance (and I like having all of the Ostheer T3 as a possible first choice). I've yet to see aircraft as a huge deal as Germans, tbh.
Yeah, maybe the T-34 needs some kind of buff (probably penetration or weapon damage) but I think buffing the armour to the point where an Ostwind doesn't penetrate is overkill, and making it a P-IV pretty much kills the asymmetrical balance which is the best thing about CoH really.
T-34/76 lose to very thing and T-34/85 stands no chance against PZIV(which is cheaper) is not a asymmetrical balance, it's called cost-ineffective or waste of resources or ....underpowered |

find a decent pal to start play 2v2 as ostheer, WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN, Rhzev Summer map, you may lose at the north spawn |
|
remove crashing infantry indeed, but I don't see the point of nerfing T-70 too hard, cuz entire soviet T3 is already obsolete |
|
don't forget the well-balanced Opel supply truck, and skilled&well-microed stuka strafing run, and the IS-2 ISU-152 Elefant which you won't see in the game for years |

Perfectly relevant clip of just that happening. Pretty cool: http://www.twitch.tv/entik/c/2488286
actually crashing planes abuse were fixed in vCOH, after fix, planes just crash outside of the map more often, make much less impact to game play, it's fun, but it's not really good for a competitive play, hope they fix it soon |

nerf T-70 = removal of soviet T3 , NOT TROLLING |
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.
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.....

The Opel Truck is only heavily imbalanced in 2v2's, and only gives a true advantage in a long term, both in 1v1 or 2v2.
I don't play Assault doctrine a lot, tbh, but if you check when the average time for Opel trucks to arrive is, you can start to assume he'll put it in the closest territories to his base that are largest (safe for hiding), also territories that already have OP's could be viable. For every single Opel truck you kill, it is as though you had kill a Pioneer squad, and it is A LOT more vulnerable than pios.
Strafing run does need to be nerfed, but it doesn't really affect the metagame as much as say, German mine inferiority, T34 weakness, Scout cars, etc, which are non doctrinal.
so you mean...... Trucks & Strafing are fine? Argh...... this is new
right now there's no reason to play 2v2 as soviet if the both of them untouched, we'll see in few month, most dev balancer don't play 2v2 I guess |
