Probably not the standard Victory point game, as Russian tanks can lock down a VP for infantry totally. If you want to risk your 4men squad getting insta-killed by JS-2s, feel free to cap the point. German infantry veterancy at a certain part of the game becomes irrelevant because so many squads just get killed off by Russians. So no vet and no cap power for the German player if you use the IS-2 correctly. I prefer that over the Panther any day. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: how to: Level 100 German Play21 Oct 2013, 11:49 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2013, 08:30 AMsir muffin before you read this: this is a thread calling germans easymode. choose a Doctrine with tigers. then, build t1, and start spamming MG42's. place them in buildings throughout the map! don't worry about capping! when sufficient mg levels have been reached, tech and start spamming PG's! use the PG's to chase down conscripts squads, cap, and make sure he can't get out of his base territory! move your MG's up with your PG's for MAXIMUM SS PANZER DIVISION TACTICAL BASE PIN MANEUVER KNIGHTS CROSS SARGENT EXTREME CROSS HOLDER OF THE SWORDS AND THE OAK LEAVES EXTREME SUCH HISTORICAL ACCURACY! I) I feel the game is relatively well balanced. Not denying there are parts that need further adjustment but generally it´s balanced. The thing that is not good is that the Russian player is forced into boring gameplay. Meaning EITHER defense weapons OR snipers, scout cars etc. EITHER SU-85 OR T-34. Building more than two buildings can throw you back in the tech race. Thus Russians are no fun to play for me. However if you use Conscript spam right or spam Maxims and Zis with Shocks, any Russian player can just run around the map and swarm the MG42s. In fact it has become a standard procedure to run up to German MGs get suppressed only 5m in front of it and throw a Molotov, then watch how it burns. Russians aren´t underpowered - they are just incredibly boring to play. II) What are you coming with historical accuracy? Historical accuracy means your body gets split into two parts when running into an MG that fires 1250 round per minute. Russian tanks are stronger than the real vehicle out-ranging Panthers and shit. ISU-152 fire every 10 seconds. This argument is flawed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T34/8516 Oct 2013, 12:57 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2013, 12:07 PMRaindrop What I hope to change for the T34/85: -Increase main gun range to 50. Push it more into an AT role then AI. The range increase is totally unneeded. Dedicated anti tank has 50 and 60 range. - Vehicles such as StuGs, Panthers and SU-85. Regular tanks have 40 range. Yet another Russian vehicle outranging the Panzer IV´s gun is unneeded, unbalanced and historically totally inaccurate. I don´t get why Germans don´t have the engagement-range advantage - like they did in reality. Flipping the roles even further by giving the T-34/85 more range, would be the end of good tank combat. It´s like making a game about the Normandy campaign and giving the Allies no air support at all while the Axis get Stukas, Fallschirmjäger drops, air supplies etc. It´s a total reverse of how the opposing armies really were and in the end a bad depiction of WW2.

Thread: T34/8515 Oct 2013, 14:22 PM I´m against a penetration increase on the T-34/85. That might fix the problem versus the Panzer IV but totally neglects the balance versus other vehicles. The Panther gets penetrated often enough frontally atm. increasing the chance of this bullocks to happen is ridiculous. Price decrease and more flexibility in form of single call-ins or global upgrades for the T-34/85. I don´t want to see them parked in front of a Panther and see them come out on top.

Thread: 2vs2 arranged team12 Oct 2013, 19:29 PM Hi, I would like to see a special arranged team-match-option. Right now teams (players being in contact with each other via Skype or Teamspeak) are getting matched with regular random players who can´t coordinate as good as the teams. This totally fucks up the 2v2 game experience as regular player. Teams shouldn´t be allowed to be matched versus normal players. Keep teams in arranged teammatches, don´t misk it. Longer connection times - resulting from such a split between regulars and teams - don´t justify that a huge chunk of games aren´t really enjoyable because of that huge disadvantage.

I think a single call in for 360mp 110 fuel would be nice. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T34/8511 Oct 2013, 10:47 AM Keep in mind that: 1) The T-34/76 was buffed hugely. That´s why the dps is so similar. 2) The (regular) commander that contains the T-34/85 has the "mark target" ability, which enables two microed T-34/85 to beat a Panther. Any bigger buff to the T-34/85s dps would totally screw armor balance. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T34/8511 Oct 2013, 01:26 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2013, 01:14 AMUGBEAR And do soviet have better tanks other than T-34/85? T-34/85 should be intermidiate between the PZIV and Panther Link0 is actually right. All these changes would make it OP. T-34/85 should be rather on par with the Panzer IV. The 85mm offers better AI while the Panzer IV has better AT so the Panzer IV obviously has the slight upper hand. Seems balanced imo. with some minor tweaks. If the T-34/85 was to get major buffs in AT it´s ability to devastate infantry should be nerfed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T34/8510 Oct 2013, 22:43 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2013, 22:15 PMUGBEAR The T-34/76 can do almost as same as 98% DPS against a PZIV, there's no point to make it a Upgrade-able unit if it stats stay like this. My suggestion is: Make it single call-in Or for 1v1 competitive purpose,make it buildable in T3 or T4 factories after it gets unlock. Reload reuce form 8.45 to 6 (no reason make it highest reloading time among the guns with 160 alpha damage) Armor increase from 124 to 170(on par with PZIV) Penetration rise from 110 to 130~150 (85mm zis-53 or D-5T should be better than the PZIV) Cost from 720/260FUEL double call-in become 400/125FUEL single call-in or buildable in either T3 and T4. Just in case if someone ask why the armor is slightly better for its hull only has 45mm armor, well it's 100~110mm turret front armor and hull is 45mm 60° sloped from vertical=45/cos60=90mm VS PZIV 80mm maxium) All this together is too much. Why are you bringing realistic stuff in while at the same time demanding a better penetration. The Panthers frontal armor was impervious to the 85mm. Increased penetration on the T-34/85 would make the Panther much more useless. It´s an annoyance already that Panthers get defeated frontally by regular tanks. Also Panzer IVs remained slightly better than the T-34/85s because of other stuff (optics, crews, radios, better protection vs handheld anti tank), that I don´t think the T-34 should be better. The 85mm actually had about the same penetration capabilities as the 75mm/L48. The reload could be decreased to 6-7 seconds and the fuel costs need to be decreased. Also I would prefer it to be non doctrinal and an upgrade. But no bigger performance boost. No way should the T-34 be able to go on to head on engagements vs the big cats. Spammable flanking machine should be it´s role. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: T34/8510 Oct 2013, 20:56 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2013, 20:35 PMUGBEAR Since T-34/85s hit the filed later than a PZIV, and even a Panther can sometimes show up earlier than a T-34/85. I think it's necessary to do a T-34/85 vs. Panther series. Panther cost (600MP/130FU) Armor 270(F), 960HP, 160damge/hit, 170 penetration Reload+Aim=6.45+0.125=6.575sec Scatter 6.0 AOE 0.5 speed max:5.5 Have a Turret Machine gun upgrade for AA purpose and bonus to AI T-34/85 cost (360MP/130FU but you must pay 720/260 for call-in) Armor 124(F), 800HP, 160damage/hit, 110 penetration Reload+Aim=8.45+0.125=8.575sec Scatter 2.6, AOE 2.5 speed max: 5.3 Panther penetrating T-34/85: 124/170=100% T-34/85 penetrating Panther: 110/270=40.7407% *Panther finishing off a T-34/85: (800/160)6.575/(100%)=32.875sec T-34/85 finishing off a Panther: (960/160)8.575/(40.7407)=126.286sec (BOOM!)* Though T-34/85 have better AI at main gun, but the turret machine gun of a Panther can compensate this disadvantage a little bit, and notice that Panther is slightly fast than T-34/85. And, T-34/85 hits the field can be as late as a Panther or even later than a Panther. FULL-RETARDED vehicle balancing. Are you fucking kidding me? You are comparing the hard counter to tanks (Panther)with the T-34/85. As if that wasn´t enough you are comparing Panther and T-34/85 in a frontal slugout. If the Panther didn´t dominate in this aspect what should it do? It´s like complaining that a Panzer IV can´t beat a Zis while parking in front of it. Be glad that the T-34 even has a chance of penetrating the Panthers front, which is ridiculously enough. In: COH2 Gameplay
