Thread: How to use the "Stuka Close Air Support"? 10 Oct 2013, 16:48 PM I tried it just few times in game, so I don't really know what's exactly its effect and in which moment is better to call it. Most important: is it good versus infantry or versus tanks? I faced a russian using the same kind of close air support and it literally destroyed my infantry... I wonder if it could do the same thing against tanks. It would be nice. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: My SU85 got Beat by a Stug?6 Oct 2013, 00:00 AM I've never seen something like that. SU85 literally annhilate a single Stug and can easily win against a pair of them. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Why not Jagdpanther?3 Oct 2013, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2013, 13:02 PMCardboard Tank Funny, because the current Su-85 pretty much performs like a SU-100. Going through Panthers frontal armor, out-ranging German guns... hell, considering the quality in optics even the SU-100 couldn´t do the latter. This performance sounds not like the historical SU-85 to me but rather a SU-100. At vet 2 the SU-85 in Coh2 two shots StuGs. Two shot killing armored units: That´s something only the Elefant can do also. Just change the skin and name it SU-100. I absolutely agree with you. SU85 is just an excellent counter to german heavy tanks. Moreover (if you play well) no german can perform a Tiger spam. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why not Jagdpanther?2 Oct 2013, 17:26 PM And this is exactly why it won't be added. How do you think the soviet players are supposed to kill it. If the su-85's don't work all they have left is their infantry which can't take out tanks alone. The elefant works because even though it beats all armor, it is slow and can be caught by arty and call ins. What you are proposing has none of those weaknesses and can be called in even easier. I could say "how is supposed a german player to stop a SU85 spam?" Anyway in my opinion tanks like Tiger, IS2, Elefant, ISU152 and, of course, the Jagdpanther should be called in one at a time. In such a way a pair of SU85 could, at least, damage it and force it to go back. I also feel the pak 40 is pretty good countering tank-destroyers... russians could cover their SU85 with a Zis. It should prevent the Jagdpanther to advance at least. Finally I see no reason to give russians this kind of tank and give the german not a true counter. SU85 spam is just containable (if you have tons of troops), but in many maps it gives an easy victory to the russians. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why not Jagdpanther?2 Oct 2013, 11:16 AM Well, I admitt that the Jagdpanther could seem a kind of Elefant, so it could seem usless right now. In my opinion the Jagdpanther (even if it would be not historically accurate) should be the same of a SU85, just more damage and more frontal armor. I know the Elefant has a better range, vision, armor, damage than the SU85... but it is too costly. Moreover it comes often too late in game. The Jagdpanther could be a cheaper anti-SU unit... at least in a 1v1 fight between a single SU85 and the german tank destroyer. In short: I hate the way SU85s can literally make a soviet win a game. Yesterday I played soviets in Pripyat (2v2). My team mate was with arty, I had 120mm mortars and guards. We have been beaten at the early game but we managed to hold our ground. After the first pair SU85s we started to pull our enemy back. They tried everything: Pak43 (we destroyed 4 of them in the whole game), flanking with mass of PIV and Panthers, bombing, etc. Nothing could beat our SU85s behind a good wall of conscripts and land mines. It was ridiculous. SU-100 was more the equivalent of a Jagdpanzer IV performance wise. If it´s supposed to be balanced, I´d prefer a Jagdpanzer IV over a ridiculously nerfed Jagdpanther (compared to reality). It would be awesome too. Love the Jagdpanzer IV! Finally: the Elefant is ugly while the Jagdpanther is fu**ing sexy! My favourite WWII tank. I'd love to command it on the field! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why not Jagdpanther?1 Oct 2013, 21:51 PM The first time I started to play CoH 2 I was pretty surprised to see no Jagdpanther. I am not a WWII expert, so I don't know if that tank had a role in the Eastern Front, but I think it would be a great add. Relic could add it in a commander pack. About the balance I thought it could be a kind of SU85. Same range and same vision ability but an higher damage and frontal armor. It should cost, of course, more than a SU85 but less than an Elefant. What do you think about it? In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Osttrupen Doctrine strategies anyone? Heres mine:27 Sep 2013, 22:27 PM Personally I didn't know how to use properly this unit. Last night I watched a live game in which HelpingHans was using ostruppen. He created 6 squads of them at the beginning and used them to outnumber the enemy. Now, he's a pro and he played them perfectly. I am not such good but I tried it today two times in a pair of 3v3 games. The osttruppen are really awesome! Their cost is pretty low and you can have 6 of them at the start. Instead of spread them around the map, I use them to capture the enemy oil point and try to hold it as long as possible. Bunkers with MGs are good in order to provide firepower and in the very moment you have an halftrack with flames you are an infantry killing machine. It sux, and germans have so many options I would say the same things about the russians. They are, in my humble german user opinion, so flexible that I don't know what to expect. The only sure thing is they are going to spam SUs in late game. Early and mid game are pretty uncertain against russians. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Can't watch replays anymore29 Aug 2013, 23:07 PM Well. I just played 5 or 6 games after the patch. I also saved one of them right today but I can't watch it... I don't even see it on the list. My list is empty. In: COH Central
Thread: Can't watch replays anymore29 Aug 2013, 18:36 PM After the latest patch I can't watch the replays. I checked in MyGames/CoH2/playbacks and the files are all there. Someone is facing the same problem? In: COH Central
