Thread: IS26 Jun 2014, 06:47 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2014, 20:45 PMelchino7 I would say it´s more like 1st IS2 = T3 + 1 T34 2 IS2s = T3 + 3 T34s Yes there is a teching cost to get the t34 that I did not mention, but often that means getting it as early as cp 6-7, where as the IS2 will only be available at cp 11. That time difference without a tank can be fatal in game for the soviet. Also, most people who get the IS2 are using the free Shock Frontline Tactics commander and they tend to always build t3 before getting IS2.

SSHeini is just a communicative menace and degrades any debate he enters. It is known. I just hope someone will get their shit together because in this thread, it is reaching Nullist heights/lows. Yes this is a problem, that several (not one) members are making worse, but I have to tell you nothing has reached that level yet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IS25 Jun 2014, 18:54 PM I got 2 of them in one game today and I did not feel they were worth their cost. Basically the is2 cost more than 2 t34-76, has less health than their combined health, doesn't kill infantry as fast, and does half their combined damage. The only place it stands out is its armor. That's about it. I think I would go with 2 t34-76 over an is2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How low they go5 Jun 2014, 12:51 PM You know rico, I chose not to reply to his insult and that took away from the rage you were "expecting", and he still kept whining anyway. Plus having your mother insulted "once" in such a profane way is more than enough. Mind you this came from a (was) steam friend. But honestly I can't believe you grabbed popcorn for this either, because I thought you were a decent guy. In: Replays
Thread: fuck m3a15 Jun 2014, 12:28 PM lol funny ending, is there a background to this game? Because panzer almost never says anything in game, even when you call his name. And not to take away from your victory but cata did not play good at the beginning of the game. In: Replays
Thread: How low they go5 Jun 2014, 11:19 AM I just played against a guy on my friends list and beat him pretty badly and that's when he made a very bad personal attack against me. I will report this guy and encourage everyone to do the same if they run into this scum again. We can use less of him around. Remember constant reporting by the community gets a player kicked.

Thread: Does the Zis really need barrage?5 Jun 2014, 04:41 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jun 2014, 14:51 PMBurts That was extremelly lucky, usually it only hits 1-2 times the rest miss. It's a costly ability. And it doesn't have any extra range over normal round. Infact, it's shorter than normal rounds. Like i said, 2 riflegrenades, cost the same, come from a much more versatile unit (grens) and do a better job. I don't understand why soviets can't have anything decent? Come on abdul, why do you ignore all arguments thrown at you and just insist that it's broken? That's exactly how it was designed. It is designed to break up defenses. You can do this with lots of things. I am not ignoring them, I just dont agree with them, and you don't have to agree with me either. The way I see it, barrage, like ram before for example, is a questionable ability that can be toned down or removed. It had its place at one time, but now with zis receiving no suppression (which is fine) and soviet infantry being much better, its unneeded. Instead I prefer to see the Zis cost and population reduced or its AT ability improved. That should also coincide with soviet mortar getting some balance improvements. In: COH2 Balance

It is early push unit for soviets, and after 5 minutes it becomes useless so german 222?221 pinish it with ease. Everybody complain... "oh, those Ivans take more map first 5 minutes." Hell, you have 222 and late game tigers! Have fun and stop complain! not really, if you put a guards squad in the m3 it will destroy 222 with ease, and if you upgrade guards with ptrs it becomes a killing machine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Does the Zis really need barrage?4 Jun 2014, 14:41 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jun 2014, 05:44 AMDocRockwell I can't speak for the developers, but I suspect this is precisely what they intended: an ability that lets a field gun provide indirect fire with HE shells. I think the balance is fine, seems that most people agree. Its powerful in certain situations, but that can be said of any unit given the right situation--that's the basis for 'counters'. If barrage was consistently the most efficient use of resources compared to alternative options, we'd see that reflected in the metagame. The fact that players of all skill levels still opt to lay mines, upgrade weapons, etc instead of using all their munitions on barrage confirms that this isn't the case. I dont know their concept either but if I were to guess I think they included it to help soviet players decrew paks from a distance. As previously pointed out Germans have very strong paks and tanks so to level the playing field a little maybe they included barrage. But back then soviets had very weak tanks (much better now) and the zis could be suppressed so no one could move in with their zis gun and barrage a deployed mg42 without getting suppressed. I plan to record one of those incidents but for now I have this video highlighting how good barrage is. Note: -the extra range barrage has over normal rounds (50% more I think) -the accuracy, the mg lost 3 men to the barrage (from 4 first shells) -the speed at which the ability recovers, it was available right away ps. This game was against a good Germand player. I think his rank was 40 something when I played against him. I think the zis barrage made the engagement so easy for me, so hard for him. In: COH2 Balance
