Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation15 Jul 2014, 19:18 PM Does that new rotation block the possibility of unlocking the new commanders and then later on use them at your own will? In: Lobby
Thread: July 15th patch?15 Jul 2014, 10:11 AM Ah, so we are back to not building PGs at all again? They were almost useful the last patch. I actually built them from time to time. Well, I´ll enjoy spamming those LMG Grens again then. In: Lobby
Thread: Panther13 Jul 2014, 17:19 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2014, 16:58 PMKatitof So 2 P4s shouldn't beat SU-85 upfront as well? After all its two generalist tanks vs specialist anti tank vehicle from the front. Don't you see how silly your statement is? 34/85s got as much hp and dps as panther, difference is with penetration, armor and range. If you put two of them, you get enough firepower to bring down a panther and you should as its much more fuel and menpower then panther costs. Panther have pretty much the same effective HP as 2 34/85s, but two 34/85s have twice the DPS. Numbers are fine, don't overextend it and don't let it go without AT support unless you're flanking something, but 34/85s doesn't require flank. And last but not least, there is this little thing called mark target that will usually be used, so you're being put up against a much greater resources and a pair of strong units, don't expect that to end up well for you if you don't support and overextend. I knew this guy was coming again... only for you I added the part " at least for the cost of a Panther". The Ostheer Panther is way harder to get and doesn´t exactly fulfill the same role. The SU-85 is a mobile AT-gun. And if kept out of range it will defeat two mediums unless in a vacuum. Also for cost you should have two SU-85s for two Panzer IVs in an equal game. The Panther has less range and can barely make any use of the 50 range it has as it doesn´t spot for itself. The SU-85 is way more cost effective than the Panther and can deal way better with armor.

Thread: Panther13 Jul 2014, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2014, 16:26 PMPuppetmaster You would expect dual T-34/85's to beat a Panther, costs quite a lot more in resources. I'm surprised the T-34's took so little damage though. Care to upload the replay so I can have a look? Didn´t safe the replay. I tried using the Panther at max range though and moved it backwards. Thus it missed 2 shots. Also two generalist tanks shouldn´t really beat a specialist anti tank vehicle from the front - at least not at that cost for the Panther. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther13 Jul 2014, 15:36 PM I just built one with Ostheer in 1v1. The opponent was using the dual T-34/85 call-in. This "dedicated anti tank unit" lost 80% of its health in a frontal slugout while barely inflicting 66% damage on one of the T-34/85s. Thank god I had a Pak around to scare them away. Otherwise the Panther would have cost me the game. And that versus the kind of unit it was supposed to hard counter. Even when decreasing its price, it won´t do its job. So I think it needs its old health back and a slightly faster rate of fire. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What happened to blizzards?13 Jul 2014, 10:55 AM The charm of Coh has always been fast gameplay, maneuvers, counterattacks, flanks. This is what creates intensive fights and in the end is fun. The concept of blizzards breaks this concept. Usually it´s a 2-3 minute break in which barely anything happens. The players sit there hoping it will finally end. So I´m glad there are less blizzard maps than vetoes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Fury (2014)13 Jul 2014, 00:56 AM Definitely watching it for the tanks. I remember watching "A Bridge too far" and wondering what German WW2 tank those Leopard I were supposed to represent. This was awkward. Still I can´t help the feeling that the movie is going to have some frustrating stereotype shit in it. The Tiger will of course lose to the Sherman. Choose one of the following: 1) The Germans get cocky and do something stupid. 2) Brad Pitt does a sacrifice to kill himself and the Tiger. 3) Brad Pitt has a super intelligent plan that would never work, but does work. 4) The Sherman just breaks the law of physics and destroys the Tiger without problems. In "Saving Private Ryan" - also directed by Spielberg - socks were sufficient to get rid of one of the Tigers. Either way... the Tiger won´t make it out alive in that movie. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Faction Strength12 Jul 2014, 10:46 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jul 2014, 09:32 AMFrikadelleXXL Sovjets are pretty weak atm, some buffs are needed there and maybe some nerfs on OKW and Wehrmacht ! I think Snipers should be three men squads to give them a chance to survive. The clown car should do more damage and Maxims need to suppress with half a burst. In: Lobby
Thread: Okay, let's try in another way...11 Jul 2014, 15:13 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 14:59 PMAerohank Blobbing is a legit WW2 tactic. Just look at D-day. That was one place. One place where the troops had to get ashore. After it had been bombed for hours and it was thought that the German positions were destroyed. US troops weren´t thrown away in suicide charges. If anybody should be a blob faction, it would be the Russians. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Former range-100-units11 Jul 2014, 12:41 PM YES! Used the Elefant twice in the latest patch. With scope it can see further than it can shoot. If you order it to attack a target at max view range it will move forward again and lose the sight (as scopes only work static). Stupid as hell. Oh and both times the Elefant was usless, because it couldn´t get off enough shots. 70 range is a joke on this giant pillbox. The ISU at least can wipe squads. But all the Soviet only fags can jerk off on this now: Elefant = useless, the ISU remains the same - it never needed the 100 range. And the Pak43 is a fucking joke. You can´t move it and you can only lock down an area 20 range longer than a Pak40, which for a static gun is nothing. A moving Pak40 can lock down much more. BRILLIANT! In: COH2 Balance
