Thread: Killing Kingtigers as USF (2v2)2 Oct 2015, 23:50 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2015, 23:44 PMFlying Dustbin Can you elaborate more? In the 2v2, are both of you USF or is one of you a different faction? Regardless of your teammate. Say you see a king tiger get called in. What do you as a USF player start building? How do you maneuver? How do you exploit a king tigers weaknesses in general? It's not like teammates can always be relied on on randoms. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Killing Kingtigers as USF (2v2)2 Oct 2015, 23:39 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2015, 23:27 PMDick Cockstone, Ph.D Since you clearly stated it's you who is having issues playing as USF then starting the thread on the strat section would have been better. By the time your opponent starts rolling out KoenigsTigers (WTF) you should have 3x 57s and 2-3 jacksons. Use the p47 to make sure it won't make it back home. 3 57s AND 3 Jacksons? You would probably get run over by a single volk squad before the KT ever came out. USF isn't like USSR that can accumulate 3 AT guns to support a heavy that can handle the infantry and tanks. Reinforcing the rifles usually means I can't get any more then two out, with multiple jacksons. P47s good but what about the other 5 commanders? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Killing Kingtigers as USF (2v2)2 Oct 2015, 23:13 PM When the game starts to drag on into the later game, I tend to have trouble finishing off those dastardly KingTigers. I can fend them off well enough with 2 jacksons. But they will usually just pull back for repairs, come back, do some damage while tanking tank shots, pull back and repeat. It's nearly impossible to give chase with jacksons, so how do you guys usually put the final nail in these monster? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Firefly and the tulip1 Oct 2015, 19:55 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Oct 2015, 18:54 PMAce of Swords I can't find the stats, can anyone post the actual range of the firefly's main gun? From what I could see in game it's pretty retarded, more than a panther, so if any buff was made to it's reload time the range needs a nerf. Firefly is a tank destroyer and has the same range as most the other tank destroyers which is 60. Panther is outranged by most the TDs since it's range 50, but that's because it's an AT focused medium tank, not a tank destroyer. It also has A LOT more armor and speed to compensate.

Thread: Anti Base Artillery 30 Sep 2015, 17:08 PM Generally the reason they don't allow some strikes in the base is so players can't just use them to destroy base buildings. So the more damage heavy ones aren't allowed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF 76mm Sherman?29 Sep 2015, 20:50 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Sep 2015, 19:33 PMMr. Someguy Uh, USF is late 1944. The US Army was very stubborn and refused to accept the 76mm Shermans as a replacement despite superior AT performance. In their minds, Shermans weren't supposed to fight Tanks, they were supposed to fight Infantry and Fortifications, and for this the Army kept using low velocity guns because of their superior HE round. They believed that Tank Destroyers were supposed to kill tanks, although this is poorly represented because the USF Tank Destroyers in CoH2 lack their real-life advantages. The US Army didn't change their minds until losses incurred during the Ardennes Counteroffensive which were the result of Tank Destroyers being too few and Shermans being incapable of fighting Panzers efficiently. It was after this that Eisenhower finally gave the order to cease production and delivery of 75mm Shermans and send only 76mm Shermans. You seem to be completely missinformed about american tanks. Please watch this video. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Brits and Ost late game tech comparison29 Sep 2015, 19:30 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Sep 2015, 19:08 PMRobbie_Rotten Also, to get the first Ostwind requires 40+45+75+100= 260 fuel (assuming you don't build T2) To get the first Centaur you need 10+110+100= 220 fuel. 40 fuel is easily a 2 minute difference. Not really a fair comparison. A ostheer player who rushes a ostwind will have grenades and LMGs for his grens. A brit doing the same won't have grenades or upgrades. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Refining USF Design29 Sep 2015, 18:15 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Sep 2015, 18:04 PMAlexzandvar Diversifying gameplay has very far reaching consequences and I would much, much rather Relic spend their time getting their shit together and fixing the ever greater piling up issues than focus on reinventing USF every other week. USF is more powerful than it's ever been, it has the most versatile basic infantry in the game with effective health that blows almost all other units in the game out of the water. It's got 2 viable starting tech choices, and really only has 1 lackluster commander these days. At some point you need to pay attention to other factions, USF has gotten the fixes it needs to do well in every game mode, now lets try and see about pulling the Axis factions out of the toilet in 1's and 2's. Checking the charts it seems like ostheer is the only one suffering that bad. OKW is only a little worse then the allied factions, they are actually doing fine 2v2 and up. Either way it doesn't matter. Someone is always going to be top dog and some faction is going to be at the bottom. That changes every week. It doesn't mean that that is going to be the only issue we deal with every patch. No matter how much they buff USF it wont change the fact that they are a boring, unappealing faction to play. And that's something that needs to be dealt with regardless of current balance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Refining USF Design29 Sep 2015, 17:52 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Sep 2015, 17:23 PMAlexzandvar Lets try and not buff USF further until we fix the rest of the game. Diversifying gameplay does not equal a buff. Overall balance has much more to do with current meta units, not diversity. If a faction has half underpowered units, and half overpowered units then they will still have a high overall winrate, because players will simply use the stronger units more often. In: COH2 Balance
