Thread: Opinion on new IS-2?16 Sep 2013, 14:20 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 13:48 PMcomputerheat ...so, has anyone found a good way to work the IS-2 into their game? I haven't had a chance to use one (like, ever, actually. Maybe once in the beta) I use it often now. It depends on the situation, but if the German player is not spamming t2 vehicles you can safely wait to get it. I basically rely on 4 cons, 1 shock, 1 AT, 1 morter or maxim before getting the required points to call it in. If they have t3 tanks it will do an awesome job fighting them off, especially against panzer 4. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinion on new IS-2?16 Sep 2013, 14:16 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 13:43 PMNullist What was uncalled for, was claiming that my not having used the unit has any bearing on its actual performance vs Fausts. No matter if Ive fielded IS2s 1 million times, or 0 times, the Fausts deflection chance is no different. Whether you simply didnt see them, exaggerated them, or witnessed an astronomical fluke, the probability remains at 0.2-0.0003% probability for 10-15 sequential penetrations. Actually that is very "called for" because as your comments indicate, you don't use the unit. Reading stats of some source is not the same. As for why your comment is "uncalled for", its because no body brought up that issue except you, and you did so to ARGUE. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Opinion on new IS-2?16 Sep 2013, 13:05 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 12:57 PMNullist Ok Abdul. I guess IS2 needs a buff so that there is not a 0.2-0.0003% chance of 10-15 sequential Faust penetrations. Yeah, you are totally right. Maybe if I use the unit more, I will realise that. that was uncalled for, because no one mentioned buffing the IS2 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinion on new IS-2?16 Sep 2013, 10:47 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 10:42 AMNullist My point is that either of the following is the case: A) You didn't look. B) You are exaggerating. C) By some astronomical chance, you actually experienced 10-15 sequential Faust penetrations, at a probability of 0.2%-0.0003%. Up to you, which one it is. D) You need to start using this unit before commenting In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Opinion on new IS-2?16 Sep 2013, 10:08 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 09:57 AMNullist And yours that you don't know the actual stats for penetration chance on Fausts. You tried to "claim" Faust can never never deflect on IS2 frontal. That was a categorically false statement. False, I did not claim that, I said that "I noticed": Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 05:20 AMAbdul Speaking of panzerfaust, I noticed it always causes engine damage to the IS2, even when fired at the front armor. Panzerfaust has 140 penetration and the IS2 has 325 front armor, therefore shouldn't the panzerfaust fail to penetrate at least half the time if not more? In fact my comments clearly show that I expect panzerfaust to deflect on IS2, but never seen it do that and that's where I was asking for comments from people who used this unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinion on new IS-2?16 Sep 2013, 09:42 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 09:34 AMwooof you must have horrible luck then because the chances of that happening 10 times is .02%. 15 times in a row has a .0003% chance. there is obviously a much greater chance that you just arent noticing the failed fausts. Could be, and that is why I was hopping to get feedback from people who use this unit to see if they face the same issue. Two things to note though, unlike the AT grande the panzerfaust is very noticeable because it makes a loud sound and leaves a trail of smoke so its not easy to miss it. The other thing I noticed is that am not able to move the IS2 around the battlefield as freely as I do with the tiger because I get engine damage more easily with the IS2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinion on new IS-2?16 Sep 2013, 09:34 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 09:27 AMSarantini IS2 can deflect pfausts from the front. It's easy to miss since it just shows up as damage. But you give the armour and penetration values which clearly shows it should fail plenty (if these values are right) It should deflect, and I am pretty sure the figures are correct. That's why I find it surprising how often the panzerfaust penetrates the IS2 front armor. Jump back to quoted post16 Sep 2013, 09:27 AMSarantini If you really want to see an example watch apfelsaft vs nortwestfresh G1 when he has the is2 in the left vp where do I find this?
