Very constructive comment, way to go.

Well I mean Vipper is the biggest troll on these forums which is why he has gotten banned a few times. He is basically the Balance Team mascot defending every bad decision they make and loves to derail threads.


Anyway the 76mm Sherman lacks a clear definitive role. This is one aspect of the game that could use some work.

For example you have sort of a rock, paper, scissors approach with Infantry, HMGs, and Mortars which works well but then with tanks the only roles are Generalist (T-34/Panzer IV/Crommwell), Tank Destroyer, and Heavy tank with no real roles assigned to these tanks other than whoever is the best or does most damage wins.

Take shock troops for example, everyone knows that Shock Troops murder things at close range, While Infantry Sections are Max Range, while Rifleman are great at Medium Range. These types of Weapon Profiles should exist for tanks as well.






There have been numerous documented cases of smaller tanks/vehicles defeating big tanks at close range yet this isn't translated into COH 2 at all when the technology for different profiles exists within the game.


Take an Elephant Tank for example. A T-34 could get close to an Elephant even firing from the rear and the shots/do no damage. If tanks had weapon profiles like infantry they could assign roles to different tanks.

Maybe T-34 sucks balls long range but will shock troop vehicles close range.

So back to the 76mm Sherman it does the same role as the regular sherman which makes it pointless to make.


Now if a normal Sherman had a profile where it needed close range to be effective, 76mm sherman could be the medium range tank leaving Jackson with a long range weapon profile and the unit would at least have some form of role in mind with its design.

Lack of Role and Design make the tank in its current state extreme garbage.

And objective of the mod team is not no nerf USF to the ground either...

Besides B4 why was it that every single patch the mod team released had extremely game breaking German units that had to be hot fixed while no such game breaking units existed for any of the allied factions. Especially at the level of OPness that some of these german units had.

For example (one of many) they nerfed Allied air strikes yet made Sector Assault (OKW JLI commander) so broken that the planes would track you from the other side of the map deleting your entire army yet Airborne P47 tracking was too strong and had to be removed (basically more nerfs for USF).

JLI Terminators needing to be hotfixed

Sturmtiger deleting units from fog of war

Everyone can see through the hypocrisy at this point.

Could you imagine if Raid Sections for UKF were at JLI level when JLI were reworked. Instead we get mediocre trash and have to settle with that like the 76mm Sherman.

I know, 76mm gun is known as better gun against tanks than 75mm gun.
But its Penetration is 140/130/120. 75mm one is 140/120/100.

Seems Slightly weird and nearday 76mm gun's ROF get nerfed so I think Its Penetration can be slightly buffed.
I thought 140/130/120 to 160/150/140(+20 at all range) can be good to seem and natural

76mm Sherman is garbage don't waste your time building this.

Dawn of War 2 was a really good game. They should have continued that success with Dawn of War 3 and expanded upon Dawn of War 2 rather than try to create a hybrid between DOW1 and DOW 2 mixed in with Moba Elements.

If they really wanted to make a traditional RTS/Starcraft style type of game such as Dawn of War 1 they should have created a separate sub series for it.

This way you would have Dawn of War COH style, COH, and traditional RTS. Similar to how Age of Mythology was a sub series to Age of Empires but with a different gameplay style focusing on fantasy. This would have pleased everyone instead of having all of their fans unite in hatred over what DOW 3 was.

I doubt future Relic games will be good. All of the top tier talent that was at Relic are now in Blackbird Interactive working on Homeworld 3. Quin Duffy (created COH 2 and AOE 4) also just left Relic.

I was dead sure you're gonna cite Grenadier's vet3, I am quite surprised.

That has been mentioned before previously.

few stats that could be communicated more obviously than sight range without using a number or table. If the players are able to pick up any stat without playing a ton of matches, sight range is definitely among them.

Takes 5 seconds to type that out, the game has the ability to do it, they just can't be bothered typing up any information.
