Thread: Reliable way to kill Panthers?5 Jan 2014, 22:09 PM Satchel charges might do the trick, or the 50kg bomb though that would take a while to drop. Luck will be necessary to pull it off though In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: How to deal with pay2win "commanders"?4 Jan 2014, 22:54 PM As long as paying commanders are beatable by non-paying commanders, it is not pay2win In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Death to all the RNG gods4 Jan 2014, 17:44 PM Even though it can be frustrating if you are on the losing end of it, RNG adds some realism and fun to the game if you ask me. I do agree on some points (t34 frontal ram only damage on gun OR engine) and perhaps it should be lessened a bit, I think it should stay In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reliable way to kill Panthers?4 Jan 2014, 13:48 PM I have been wondering about a technique lately, to kill heavy German tanks efficiently and came up with this. Note that this is a theoretical train of thought, untested. I will try to test it if the occasion presents itself. The idea dawned on me, when I accidentally double rammed a P4 (one on the side, the other on the nose), at pretty much the same time. Imagine a Tiger Ace driving on the battlefield. Ram its nose and its tail, so it is bunked in between your T34s. Then finish it off with AT, doctrinal bombs (eg the 50kg one) or even satchel charges (since it is completely immobile). Anyone thinks that this might work? If not, please elaborate Edit: it just dawned on me that the tank might get away if it turns around its axis. Would the two t34s be able to really bunk it in that tightly it won't be able to move? In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: How to deal with pay2win "commanders"?4 Jan 2014, 13:43 PM The first batch of DLC commanders got their price halved when the second batch arrived. I wouldn't be surprised if Relic decides to make them free after a period of time. People who are willing to pay for the commanders, will have done so after a while and making them free to play will give them some much needed PR. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Ostruppen Doctrine Strategy4 Jan 2014, 13:38 PM Seems I have been going about this strategy all wrong then. Will try this in one of my next battles. Cheers! In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Luftwaffe Supply Doctrine4 Jan 2014, 12:41 PM I wouldn't be able to give you an exact number, but so far I have never had a moment were I was waiting for the cooldown to finish. I never tried to spam it though. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Luftwaffe Supply Doctrine4 Jan 2014, 11:05 AM Thanks Barton for correcting me, I didn't realize it dropped 150 munitions, which basically makes this Doctrine even better And if you don't over-use this ability, it isn't that manpower heavy... Just use it once when it becomes available to drop in fuel and use it later when you have enough mp floating around to drop in fuel or ammo. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Luftwaffe Supply Doctrine4 Jan 2014, 01:22 AM I have used it in around 10 games and only lost supplies to the enemy once, who got away with 20 fuel, so I wouldn't call it that risky. Admitted, the last two players I have beaten with this trick, weren't that competent (which is why I don't have a re-play to truly show off this doctrine), but I have had matches with persistent enemies who were not prepared for my P4, and I already had a reinforcement half-track snugly set up behind my lines. I did a health supply drop around it and basically had a fully operation HQ for little ammo. Ammo I later replenished using the supply drops I honestly consider it the Ostheer counterpart to Soviet Industry, only more in control, more versatile (you can drop ammo) and with better end abilities.

Thread: Luftwaffe Supply Doctrine4 Jan 2014, 00:30 AM The new DLC commanders seem to have come attached with a huge debate in the CoH2 community. I'm not making this thread to add to this debate, but rather to talk about the, in my opinion, best German commander currently available. And no, it's not the Elite Troops Doctrine Luftwaffe Supply Doctrine! First off all, let's have a look at the commander itself: 0 CP: Air-drop medical supply: drops crates with health for your infantry 3 CP: Supply drop zone: Drops 50 fuel or ammo (on the respective zone) in exchange for 200mp 4 CP: Reconnaissance overflight: See what the enemy is up to 6 CP: Incendiary bombing run: drops firebombs on area 12 CP: Stuka bombing run: drops a 50kg bomb It's mainly the second ability that makes it interesting. Very early on, you are able to exchange 200mp for 50 ammo or fuel. Which means you can rush for armor, or get T2 vehicles with little time loss. Later in the game, when you reach pop cap and end up with a big float of manpower, you can turn it into ammo and use the fourth and fifth ability as you please. You can consider this the more versatile and "quick stop shop"-version of the Soviets' Industry Tactics. The other abilities are far from shabby either: dropping medical supplies around your reinforcing half-track is always handy, as is being able to recon his army using the overflight. Incendiary bombs and the 50kg bomb strike are just cherries on an already delicious cake. I will try to upload a re-play asap, but as I'm currently in my finals week, it could take some time. It's a "maybe tomorrow, maybe next week" sort of situation EDIT: Thanks to BartonPL, it came to my attention that the supply drop drops 50 fuel or 150 ammo (instead of 50) in exchange for 200mp.
