Thread: British Faction, what do you want to see?22 Apr 2015, 23:17 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2015, 23:14 PMBrachiaraidos Several of them were, however, finished, which puts it automatically above the Maus I'm afraid. In the summer of 1945 ONE Tortoise was shipped to Germany for testing. It was a prototype. Post war. The Maus was also a prototype. And two were finished at the end of the war. That actually makes the Maus a more logical choice. Though both tanks in this game would be bullshit. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Faction, what do you want to see?22 Apr 2015, 23:11 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2015, 16:48 PMBrachiaraidos And I can have a wet dream about getting a tortoise with HE/HVAP toggle? Even the Maus makes more sense. Tortoise neither saw any action nor was it even deployed to a war region during the war. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Opinion Poll: Least Useful Unit20 Apr 2015, 22:19 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2015, 14:34 PMButcher Biased poll. [x] Panzerwerfer Aye. More disturbing is people telling the players to close in. Isn´t the Panzerwerfer supposed to counter weapon crews with high accuracy? Because that´s what we were told in an update. It can´t barrage and cover an area like the Katjuscha. But neither can you counter weapon crews with it. The rockets spread is so far out that you will hardly hit anything more than 2 entities of weapon crews, even when close. And even then any decent player can drive in with a tank and catch it - because it is parked in AT-gun range. That´s not how it works. In: Lobby

Thread: What I don't like in OKW18 Apr 2015, 23:39 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 22:06 PMGrumpy OMFG, how did the Soviets manage to take Berlin then? With overwhelming capabilities to replace men and equipment. By taking horrendous losses and being able to replace them. Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 22:06 PMGrumpy Make those changes and you'll never hear a Soviet player complain again, or simply stop with the "historical" arguments that somehow try to make the loser of both World Wars into an army of super heroes. The "loser of WW2" argument is bullshit. You are ignoring that the USA, Commonwealth, Soviet Union together formed an alliance. That´s three world powers combined. Losing a war can have a lot of causes - not only effectiveness of the army. If that was the sole factor in the equation Germany would have won. Numbers, supplies and industrial capacities win wars. Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 22:06 PMGrumpy Here is an actual (albeit atypical) engagement of 3 T34/85's vs 3 KT's. Try to duplicate this in COH2. An anecdote. In the whole picture the Russians lost multiple amounts of vehicles. No other country ever lost as many tanks. It´s funny how you actually started the realism discussion here. Then you blame me for challenging your bullcrap about 85mms finishing off KTs frontally. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What I don't like in OKW18 Apr 2015, 17:55 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 16:04 PMGrumpy In a similar move, the SU85's penetration should have been much higher than it is in the game. And the Panther could take out T-34s from 3km away. KVs were easily defeated by Panzer IVs and StuGs from a km. Yet that´s not ingame. Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 16:04 PMGrumpy The 85mm gun was capable of dealing with even a Tiger II. The 85mm gun may not have penetrated the armor but the impact would still often spall pieces of the armor off of the inside of the tank and go through the inside like a shotgun blast. A couple of hits and the crew was likely dead. 85mms defeating KTs now? Maybe from the sides, definitely not from the front. Even Panthers with almost half the armor bounced 85mm without a problem. You are maybe referring to a Russian testing, where they would shoot some hundreds of shells on a plate until it succumbs. In this game Russian armor gets off pretty well considering the disastrous losses they actually took. Losses so high that they would totally cripple the tank arm of any other nation.

Thread: British Faction, what do you want to see?16 Apr 2015, 11:19 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2015, 10:50 AMKatitof Yes, but thats all prototypes, single models, extreme specialists or early war junk. Nothing that would not be obliterated by stock soviet units really, but I can't deny I'd like to see army centered around light vehicles and lighter tanks(P3s and shit) with lightly armored TD support for AT. There´s actually enough stuff for a new German faction that is up to date in 1944/45. No prototypes or early war junk needed. Hetzer - partly better armored than a StuG and with a remote controlled MG on top. Nashorn - Elefant gun on Panzer IV chassis. Jagdpanther - Elefant gun on Panther chassis. Nebelwerfer - a classic. Panzer III Ausf. N - by 1944 this was used to fight off infantry with 80mm armor and a stubby 75mm gun. Wirbelwind - Panzer IV chassis with quadruple flak. 88mm Flak 36 - a classic. Hummel/ Wespe - An equivalent to the 152mm on tracks, 105mm Priest respectively. Jagdpanzer IV/ L48 - Similar to the StuG. Worse gun and slightly less armor than the current L/70 variant. Most of this stuff would still perform better than allied stuff. Don´t act like there´s nothing left. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Which Faction Is OP At Present & Why ?13 Apr 2015, 00:04 AM Soviets: - No tech call in meta. - Get 2 IS-2s by the time a KT arrives. Get the same armor as the KT on the much cheaper vehicle. - No problem whatsoever in penetrating Panthers and the KT. - T-34/85 with the same health as a Panther. - PTRS doctrine annihilating weapon crews. - Forgiving 6 men gameplay. - Best artillery in the game. 120mm annihilate OKW HQs, Katjuschas do the rest. --> In general they have the most amount of cheese for the least micro effort in the game.

Thread: British Faction, what do you want to see?11 Apr 2015, 10:16 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2015, 10:10 AMKatitof Axis have guns that penetrate IS-2 100% of the time you know. Which is a different league. The long 88mm is doctrinal and was way larger than 17pounder and 75mm/L70. Think it would be stupid to give the 17pounder the special AT-gun treatment because lol, tank hunter sticker. And the Panther remains with an okayish gun. The last thing I want in this game is another Jackson. Lel KT should totally be un-viable once Jacksons hit the field. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British Faction, what do you want to see?11 Apr 2015, 10:09 AM No stupid lol-gun penetrating KTs almost every time from the front. The fucking Panther had a slightly better gun yet can´t reliably penetrate IS-2s. No double standards. In: COH2 Gameplay
