Thread: How do I send Imperial Dane Replays?5 Jun 2014, 18:47 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2014, 16:36 PMBeltFedWombat To get Imperial Dane to cast one of your videos you need to follow a few simple steps - * Make sure Germans win * Squirt the replay into a memory stick made from the Krupps steel of a melted down StuG * Wrap it in the cuff title of an extremely obscure Waffen-SS unit only The Dane knows anything about * Tempt some flaxen-haired, dirndl-wearing maidens to deliver it in a half-track to his bunker. It's pretty easy, really. Fun Facts. In: Lobby

Thread: King Tiger infos5 Jun 2014, 16:47 PM Brief Description: The SdKfz 182 Tiger B, most commonly known as the ‘King Tiger’ improves on the already vaunted capabilities of the Tiger by adding a higher-velocity KwK 43 L/71 88mm gun and more effective sloped armor. Powerful, but slow. Effective against all targets. Weak to massed anti-tank weapons. Deployment Conditions: Requires Schwerer Panzer Headquarters Deployed From: Schwerer Panzer Headquarters Quote: Fire the main gun. Abilities Pintle-mounted MG42 machine gun: Tank crew uses the pintle-mounted MG42 for additional defense against infantry and aircraft. Pintle machine gun offers some 12000 rounds per minute of extra protection. Spearhead: Focusing on a frontal assault, the King Tiger has faster turret rotation and a longer sight range, but the turret is locked to 90 degrees. Toggle ability. Turret rotation locked to forward 90 degrees, turret can track more quickly and sight range is increased. Combat Blitz: Tanks employ well-practiced Blitzkrieg tactics, moving at maximum speed to avoid some enemy fire. Veterancy Levels •Rank 1: King Tiger can use Combat Blitz increasing the speed of the tank for a short period of time. •Rank 2: Elite crews operate the King Tiger with greater efficiency, acquiring targets faster and with greater accuracy. •Rank 3: Spearhead tactics increase the combat power of the vehicle, but restricts turret rotation to the front of the tank. •Rank 4: Battle hardened officers better synchronize their crew, increasing vehicle mobility and sight. •Rank 5: King Tiger navigates the battle field with ease and fires with greater frequency. Description: Known as the Tiger II or “King Tiger” the SdKfz 182 Tiger B is one of the most powerful German tanks operating on the Western Front. Combining thick armor with a sloping design for durability the tank weighs nearly seventy tons. Issued to heavy tank battalions it was first used in combat in the summer of 1944 during the Battle of Normandy. The heavy armor and powerful long-range gun gives the King Tiger an advantage against US Forces and Soviet tanks that attempt to engage it head on. Allied armies need to flank the Tiger in order to get around its frontal armor and avoid its devastating KwK 43 L/71 8.8 cm caliber tank turret. As a late game unit the Tiger B can crush the opposing army’s resistance and turn the tide on the field of battle. http://blogs.companyofheroes.com/2014/06/05/ In: Lobby

Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies1 Jun 2014, 22:43 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2014, 21:57 PMPorygon I guess OKW in 1v1 is decent in early game, excellent in mid game, utterly trash in late game, despite of their intended design. However it is a teamgame with Ostheer involved, things can be different, a lot. I thought OKW would be relatively weak early but would dominate the late game because of there King Kong(KT)- and Godzilla-tanks(Jagdzilla). Well but the Balance of course isn t finished yet and will Change a lot in the future. But i liked how the OKW should be designed: A faction that have Troubles to survive early and mid game but have a big Punching comeback in late game. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies1 Jun 2014, 20:09 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2014, 19:59 PMMr. Someguy Oh quit crying like a bloody baby. It's one unit, the Panther tank, which was used in high numbers in the Ardennes and would be odd to design an army around that fight without one. I don't count the Panzer IV because the versions we get are clearly distinct from the ones Ostheer uses. I suppose next you'll say they should have Gewehr 98's because Ostheer already used Karabiner 98's? In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies1 Jun 2014, 19:43 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2014, 19:31 PMcoh2player ^^ The Puma has 160 penetration, 120 damage, 50 range and is basically a more flexible version of the Marder III in practice. (paper armor, good penetration) The Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (German SU-85) is much better than the Hetzer, Marder, or Stug III/IV. Jagdpanzer IV/70 has the same gun like the panther so he could be the OKWs new "Panther" in T4.And the Hetzer could be the OKWs "Panzer IV" in T3. Of course they don t have a turret but i m sure you could Balance and compensate this with the OKWs infantry and AT guns.(or Puma) This is a much better idea than give OKW Panzer IV and Panther as stock Units again and make them an Ostheer clone. I just saw all These Panzer IV and Panthers on the screenshots and am afraid that relic makes an ostheer clone out of the OKW instead of adding tanks we havent seen yet. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies1 Jun 2014, 19:25 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2014, 19:19 PMMr. Someguy Basically you want the Panzer Elite. Panzer Elite = something new in CoH2. Ostheer clone with Panzer IV and Panther = something we already have. Maybe OKW should also get Stug, Brumbar and Ostwind as stock Units? Don t add something new to the 2nd german faction!!!!Just clone the Ostheer!!!! In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies1 Jun 2014, 19:16 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2014, 19:06 PMGeneralCH - PanzerIV and Panther tanks were standard equipment in a Panzerdivision in 44. There was no other MBT for the germans. - Hetzer and Marder are no tanks, but tankhunters. Comparing them to vehicles like PanzerIV in terms of replacment is wrong. Panzerdivisions sometimes used Stugs, if they had no tanks avaiable, but the fighting capacity was limited. - The PanzerIII was already dated at the time of the allied invasion and the ones remaining converted into the Ausf.N, a anti infantry version. They could fight enemy tanks with a Hohlladungsgranate, but that was not its main duty. There is not much option here other than PanzerIV and Panther or do you like a faction without tanks, which relies on doctrinal call inns? I would like to see a faction that is based on tank hunters, good infantry and maybe Flak 88 as a Pak replacement instead of adding old stuff from the Ostheer again to a new faction.This would be different then a Panzer IV or Panther again but "different" doesn t mean automatically bad. Panzer II and III could deal with infantry and lighter tanks and the Tankhunters Jagdpanzer IV/70, Hetzer and Marder III deal with the enemys tanks. This would be much more interesting than a faction that uses Panzer IV and Panther again. But i see i m the only one here in the Forum that want to see something new all others want to have a Ostheer clone with the same tanks again. In: Lobby
