Thread: Russians get the greatest AT & ARTY gun out of T1?8 Jul 2013, 01:41 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2013, 00:09 AMHissy Marxist, I'm going to assume your trolling. Do you think he's not going to see your shrecks and backpedal with the line of sight provided by the SU-85? And as for flanking he can just mine lay his flanks with the 100s of munitions Soviets stockpile. Again, why are you attacking head on? 85 has cone vision with LOS and less accuracy while moving. And no 'get out of jail free smoke card' to play either. Lack of creativity is your problem, not the 85. Sorry that you can't just spam panthers to win anymore. But maybe try strafing run out? All the cool kids are doing it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Russians get the greatest AT & ARTY gun out of T1?7 Jul 2013, 23:57 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2013, 22:39 PMHissy I quite enjoyed stealing a Zis and artillery barraging two guards to death in two shells. SU-85s just need severely toning down, there like Fireflies on steroids. The main problem is they can fire due to there los boost and 60 range but no one can return fire. Fyi Vet 2 SU-85 can TWO shot a Stug, so don't try that route. Shreks melt 85s. Which the soviets have no equivalent. If you're charging head-on into 85 you just have terrible micro. Learn to flank something with no turret. Or try smoke. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Russians get the greatest AT & ARTY gun out of T1?7 Jul 2013, 23:34 PM AT guns suck for both factions. The barrage on the Zis is OK, but expensive. But the rate of fire is completely shit. Ostwind, flameHT and P4 can easily kill it within seconds while circling. Even from a forward approach, the Zis will get maybe ONE shot off before becoming flanked and useless. Although the Soviets do have the advantage of being able to recrew with scripts. But by the time mid-late game comes around they will easily be decrewed by all the arty and pgren spam.

Thread: Solution for SU 85 + T704 Jul 2013, 12:28 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2013, 10:06 AMraw The problem with the SU-85 is the timing. It needs to come a little later, to force the soviet to rely on T-34/Zis-26. Zis are not reliable AT at all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Solution for SU 85 + T704 Jul 2013, 09:06 AM They are fine. It's just clowncars that are broke. Most German players just have no idea how to use smoke and rely on strafe spam to get by. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Maxim Spam + SU85 (aka attack move win)3 Jul 2013, 05:43 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2013, 05:38 AMAdder I'd like to play some games with you then if you're up for it. I haven't yet had a game where my opponent was able to get a halftrack and upgrade it before I was able to get a Guards squad out, so maybe you've found some timing attack that I've yet to encounter. If so, maybe that means I can go back to playing Germans again :-) I don't what to tell you, if you're losing to Maxim spam as Germans you're doing it wrong. Clowncars are what is dominating 1v1 currently and the tournament proved that fact. You don't even have to have the HT upgraded to beat Maxim intial spam. Just drop off Pgrens right on their ass, which will be possible since Soviets will be forced to spread out their Maxims in order to hold key points if they are being spammed. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Maxim Spam + SU85 (aka attack move win)3 Jul 2013, 05:22 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2013, 04:00 AMAdder Combat Engineer with flamethrower? And there's no way to stop flammenwerfer HT unless your opponent is hopeless incompetent. It costs way too little fuel and munitions (which is fine) to be realistically deniable. Guards, mines, and mark vehicle are all very effective at keeping the halftrack away until you reach either T3 or T4. You can easily have a flamewagon out before he has Guards. Especially if he's spamming maxims, as his cps will be lower than a heavy conscript start. Also, if he's heavy Maximing, he doesn't have Guard scout cars. You can easily micro your flame HT away from Guards on foot, especially if you have smoke (which makes early Zis guns useless outside of barrage). Engi flamers aren't touching Pgrens, which you can have out in like 3 minutes if you're rushing Flamewagon. There is a reason the recent tournament was dominates by clowncar spam, not Maxims. Maxims are really good and I think they can be worth back teching to, or T1->T2 if you can properly deny fuel and get early map control. But rush spamming them is easily counterable since Soviets basically cede their early game cap power. In: Red Army Strategies
