Thread: akosi's strategy15 Dec 2013, 14:20 PM Strum, wouldn't the g43 struggle against a sniper blob though, they just won't have time to pick then off? I've not watched the replays yet because I'm at work, but would it not work best to have 1-2 con first cor capping power? In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Interesting challenge15 Dec 2013, 14:10 PM I've done builds with only 1 con to start, then penals and guards. Could probably do it with an engie instead and 2x flame M3... But might be harder. Tbh I've just gone back to cons though, mainly because not having wide access to AT nade was causing me problems. In: Lobby

Thread: Fully Customizable Commanders15 Dec 2013, 13:09 PM It's desirable for making your perfect commander, but it would take away from players who know the commanders well and identify from the commanders they saw in load screen what is coming late game when they see early abilities. So for that reason and also obvious balance concerns, I would think its a bad idea. In: Lobby

Thread: Let's talk about Irregulars14 Dec 2013, 17:22 PM Oh sorry, yeah I agree, the Irregulars kinda feel like they have no real use and are probably to encourage sales of the Partisans commander. As someone said, sticking them in an M3 could potentially be cool and useful as a long range M3 instead of a flamer one. If you get opportunity against squads with no faust, can race in for high DPS. No repair for the M3 though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk about Irregulars14 Dec 2013, 16:31 PM Ive also just bought the commander to give it a try. The units sounds mega mega squishy, but used sparingly they add such a cool tactical use, that they could turn several important engagements in your favour. Just dont over use them or you will bleed too much. After calling them in to: destory a cache/complete a flank/destory a crippled vehicle etc, just retreat to base and use them behind main conscript force. Probably work best with T4 so you have heavy AT, and the tank hunters can help protect against circle strafe, once you have a shrek squad. And yeah, only use on good green cover maps with good buildings, similar to Ostruppen, so Semois etc. The way Im thinking is have it selected with other good conscript doctrines, and only select it if a really good opportunity to deploy them arrises, so something like taking out an early FHT, or P4.. otherwise probably stick to a normal doctrine. I think thats quite a mega ability to have available at the drop of a hat. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger Ace 14 Dec 2013, 16:06 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2013, 13:55 PMMoerserKarL he's slower than a normal tiger..not sure Yeah, but read the post above mine, it was being compared to a coh1 King Tiger, which worked in a similar way, not a normal Tiger. @Greeb, maybe its a tad harsh killing AT guns so easily, but not by much IMO, think about the price of the units. There is a replay where Price killed an Ace easily with 3-4 AT guns, when the tiger went for his base they were all sat there reinforcing, it got forced off easily, then he chased and killed it with ZiS blob. KV8 saw to any inf. Also IS2 can 2 shot AT guns, and thats a lot cheaper. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: ZiS-3 vs Pak-4014 Dec 2013, 16:03 PM ZiS are ok, youve just got to be really good with how you use them. I find having the ZiS near front line to deflect tanks, pushing with cons works, with a Maxim a little further back in safe spot that the ZiS can quickly run back to when inf trys to take them out. ZiS work really nice with KV8 or IS2 for protection, and an M5 makes life a lot easier. The reason Pak is better is because Germans are supposed to have an easier time dealing with Soviet armour, which tends to show up earlier and in more numbers. Soviets are supposed to struggle a little with better equipped german tanks that turn up slightly later and in fewer numbers. In: COH2 Balance
