They were talking about the M6, not about the Pershing; maybe actually read people's posts before you attack them? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A historical comparison in the Game18 Sep 2014, 16:57 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 16:19 PMNinjaWJ It would be nice if some of you guys could cite sources, like something out of a book or academic paper Not gonna lie, I got most of my stuff from TV documentaries, but I really believe the "German War Files" is quite recommendable. About 50 minutes devoted to each of the German tanks and assault guns. Nothing but actual WWII footage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A historical comparison in the Game17 Sep 2014, 23:54 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2014, 21:51 PMCardboard Tank Panthers destroyed more than they costed. T-34s did not. Never bothered to learn too much about the Panther, so no idea how successful it was, but I think I read its production costs werent much higher, if not the same, as the PIV. Germans just never managed to fully switch over production. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A historical comparison in the Game14 Sep 2014, 12:56 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Sep 2014, 12:22 PMBurts Not really sure where exactly do you get these facts that soviet optics were inferior at all. Never heard about that IS-2 gun not fitting the turret either. The IS-2 ( and I guess the USI-152 ) had two-piece-ammunition ( of which it could only carry about 28 ). You basically had to load the weapon twice, to shoot once. Also, as far as I know, to reload the gun it had to be lowered after every single shot for the loader to do his job; the turret didnt offer enough space for the reload mechanism I believe. You could only load a fresh shell when the gun was in a certain position, ( which ment you had to take aim again after a reload ) - I dont think IS-2 was really a Battle tank and more of a Break-through tank. correct me if im wrong In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Stormtroopers9 Sep 2014, 23:39 PM Okey, hope its not totally off topic but Whats the deal with spawning from buildings? I can understand why partisans would do so but fallschirmäger and stormtroopers? Is there some historical reason why they would do so? Also, do they get their own models or recycled ones? In: Lobby
Thread: mg34 needs a price increase or a small nerf1 Sep 2014, 00:44 AM It really bothers me how the MG34, both the light and the heavy one, seem to outperform the MG42. :/ Even if they decided not to touch the balance I wished they swap around the model of both weapons. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: WW2 Daily Pic26 Aug 2014, 23:27 PM Very last German Newsreel. Sadly, I cant find a subtitled version anywhere. In Berlin, Hauptmann Aghta and his bomb-disposal unit at work. Civilians learn how to shoot Panzerfaust. In the Chancellery courtyard, Hitler, accompanied by Axmann, greets 20 Iron Cross recipients from Hitler Youth ; several of the boys relate battlefield accomplishments. First Iron Cross recipient in Volkssturm. Breslau: Gauleiter (District Party Director) Hanke at command post; men and women build defensive installations; street battle. Königsberg: commandant Lasch and Gauleiter )district Party Director) Koch at command post; Volkssturm set up positions; firing from ruins; wounded in basement military hospital; decorations awarded. navy: evacuates refugees from East and West Prussia; brings supplies to Courland, firing at enemy coastal positions. Reinforcements advance to Eastern Front. German women describe soviet rapes (synchronous sound); murdered German civilians. Stettin bridgehead: infantry and Volkssturm on embankment; knocked-out Stalin tank; flak in ground fighting; wounded assault-gun driver fights on; soldiers decorated. 11 min. In: The Library
Thread: Do Tigers really need Blitzkrieg?20 Aug 2014, 15:55 PM 1) There is no "in combat" game mechanic. The game doesnt differentiate, in anyway, between units that are in combat and those who arent. Its not like WoW or other MMOs where there is a distinct flagged "in combat" state. That would suprise me very much since thats a functionality that was allready in previous relic games made in the same engine. DoWII to be specific. And since in CoH2 units are able to use different animations when either in or out of combat ( tank commanders leaning out or retreating into their hatch to name an obvious one ), I'm pretty sure its still there.
