Thread: US late game11 Jul 2014, 23:10 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 23:04 PMrefrigerator - I'm not sure why you'd think Jacksons are OP. They have 480 HEALTH and are three-shotted by almost everything that ressembles AT (the Jagdtiger does it in two shots, couple that with its 85 range ...) - Doesn't the 70 range AT gun only exists after vetting up? - and defensive stance require being out of combat. - exploits obviously should be fixed, so this can't count as balance argument. - The US player does not have sufficient strong late game AT imo. We have an acceptable AT gun (better than the ZiS gun) but then OKW has better stock tanks than the Wehrmacht did. Bazookas do **** against tanks on their own and the Jackson is very, very squishy. Because they are insanely fast and punch massive amount of damage. Used by a player who knows what he's doing they are able to go in - take a shoot - and go out before you will be able to react and nothing is able to keep up with them except for combat blitz Panther.

Thread: PaK43 needs more Range.11 Jul 2014, 17:22 PM I don't know why they changed the range on PaK43 in the first place. It's a static emplacement after all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Walking Stuka11 Jul 2014, 12:09 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 10:43 AMwongtp there's a major difference between a hard hitting attack and the ability to wipe everything on demand. sure there are times i get lucky and escape with 1 man left or there are times that the rockets miss me due to a small gap in and im saved. but there are also times where im hit so badly, and instantly losing squads. people defend the stuka only see that it is their only effective anti support teams/blob weapon, the ISG is just a mortar. losing it will mean support teams are harder to counter. it cost 100fuel so it is okay. it takes a long time to recharge. what they dont see are superb mobility, medium tanks will have to really open themselves up to dangers while hunting for the stuka since it can run deeping into its lines after releasing its payload. other factions do need the support teams to counter their infantry and tanks. destroys support weapon at times. almost impossible to retreat from. teching for stuka counters cost just as much and getting the unit to do so also has an extra cost. it is the most effective artillery in the game bar none. OKW effective anti armour options are also available without fuel. racketenwerfer, volks with schrecks and mines. i also thought it was quite intuitive, after the 1st stuka shot, start preparing for anti armour because they will hunt you down. you can cut a little AI down because you have already invalidated their support teams. If you will bunch up your units all together, you can get hit really badly by Stuka, especially when your opponent will time the barrage well, but when you spread your troops and support weapon widely he will only be able to hit one things at the time. It's attack field isn't that big + it has to position itself. If you deploy your forces parallel with his he will have to flank you first if he wants to hit more than one unit. Remember that.

Thread: OKW Panther11 Jul 2014, 12:01 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 11:00 AMSuperKeitel Use salvage ? If you can salvage at maximum 2 vehicles per game its OMFG 10 FUEL WOOOOOOOOO. Please just stop arguing about balance when you clearly say as many constructive things as katitof... Panther need a cost decrease, its effectiveness is good, its speed compensate, it should maybe get just a bit of armor against t34/85. Ressource conversion dont convert a lot and you need a certain tech path to get it = no healing for your infantry (good luck) I play almost exclusively OKW recently so yes, I know what I am talking about. T2 is an investment. It delays your tanks for few minutes but you are going to get much better economical income latter. There is no reason not to get all trucks as OKW. It's 40 fuel for 2nd and 3rd and 80 for the last one. Salvage may be only 10 fuel, I didn't check it exactly but it's 10 fuel ON TOP of your regular income and it DOES make a different. As I said OKW got plenty ways to negate fuel shortage. You need to do well though. It's a "snow ball effect" faction. The more things you kill and salvage, the more potent your end game will be. That game I posted? I had total of 4 PzIV J, 2 Panthers and 2 PzII. All that with this suposed to be fuel starved faction. BTW. Fire shell (or something) you get with this Elite commander it's amazing. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Panther11 Jul 2014, 10:24 AM I don't get you people. You can take almost 3 T-34/76 at once with Panther and you complain about it? Position yourself correctly and you will be able to win every engagement. In 1v1 I had US player attacking me with like 6 Shermans and I managed to win this engagement with the help of Rocket AT. You say OKW is fuel starved but only because it got mechanics to negate this. If you're not using salvage or resource conversion than who you got to blame? Check this replay and see how many tanks I managed to field: 0 VS commiepig Smigi SSOSSO Oz 22-0 (Germany vs Brazil :D) by: OZtheWiZARD map: Minsk Pocket 5 - It was 2v2, I know, but still. Damn, there was a patch. I don't think this one is working anymore. In: COH2 Gameplay

I feel sorry for your unlucky crit. Sheep happens. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kubelwagen - What to Do With Scaling...11 Jul 2014, 09:27 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2014, 08:50 AMbämbabäm A range and/or sight range increase at a certain level of vet could maybe be enough, so it can stay further from the frontline (in case of only increased sight range it would serve as a great spotter like a vetted AC). You get that at level 3 if I am not mistaken. In: COH2 Balance
