Profile of Affe

But Things like "super Pershing"(only 1 saw ever combat at the end of WW2) and the german "Sturer Emil"(Only 2 saw ever combat in WW2) were even much more rare then Sturmtigers and Jagdtigers. These things should be only added as a 1 time call in and not be able to mass produce them in a game.

Something similar could also be added to the Ostheer:
The "Sturer Emil":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturer_Emil

It had the Special 128mm L/61 gun with a Barrel lenght of 7808mm even longer then that of the Jagdtiger. only 2 were build and in Service on the eastern front.One of These Thing destroyed 22 enemy tanks.

It was the most powerfull at gun of WW2.The gun of the Elephant or "super Pershing" would be a joke compared to it.

Affe is making a lot of sense IMO.

That said, if it was a US marines vs IJA only expasion, maybe they could make it work, and I would be interested on it, but no way they could balance it vs the regular US army, Brits(with late war european teather equipment) or Soviets...

There is the next Problem the western front armies can also fight against the eastern front armys.Relic said that they want to make mixed Teams to give the Players all Options.Sp that OKW can fight against the soviets and Ostheer against the US Army.

The Idea of a IJA vs US marines only expansion doesn t fit to relics policy in that case.

Japan Had Bazookas (type 4), 75mm AA gun, aka German Flak 88 (Type 88), great Tank Destroyers like Ho-Ni's (gun caliber same as Type 88), magnetic mines (mine - Type 99, unit - kamikaze), AT rifle grenade (Type 2), "Panzerfaust in Japanese" edition which was nearly same as German panzerfaust but the owner of it died

Dude in the actual game german PGrens with Shrecks and paks getting shred to Pieces by the ISU-152, IS-2, KV-8 or KV-2.If relic would go on with your ideas they would Need to make some "Superman-magically-Japanese-Infantry" that could withstand shots from the ISU-152 and that would be completely unrealistic or relic would Need to nerf all soviet heavy tanks and that would destroy the Balance against the german factions.

And about the Ho-Ni tank destroyer:

Combat record[edit]

Although the Type 3 Ho-Ni III were assigned to various combat units, most were stationed within the Japanese home islands to defend against the projected Allied Invasion. As the surrender of Japan occurred before that invasion, there is no record of the Type 3 Ho-Ni III ever being used in actual combat.

Same goes for the Ho-Ni II.

And if you talk about the Ho-Ni I:

That Thing had paper thin armour.
It would be Japans "Super-Heavy-late game-special-Wonderweapon-call in tank" as the ultimate weapon of destruction from the IJA army.
I m sorry to tell you but i think this Thing is not going to match something like an ISU-152.

Wow seems you don't get my point... He did this for us, and he spend quite a time on it. Instead of honoring at least his effort you just stomp it into the ground!

Okay I forgot about the Manchuria Invasion, but that isn't reasonable enough to let them play against each other I like the pacific setting and I would like it to see these Jungele combats or something like that, but I think they should limit it to USA vs Japan... Because (and there you are right I have to say) they can't stand the russian army

I don't want to be arrogant Sorry if my comment suggested this

Yeah thats nice that he spend all his time making this idea about a japanese faction but you guys have to think a Little bit realistic.Its like all you guys think "Oh thats sounds cool relic have to do it now".

I also spend a lot of time and trying to tell you why this idea might be not the best but you guys don t honoring all my effort.You guys just insulting me with rough comments.


Most People playing CoH2 are casual Players.They want to have fast fun with cool and epic Units.You guys saw the western front Trailer?The Sturmtiger was the star of that Trailer.All People talked about it.Relic has added the sturmtiger because they know that the Players would love the idea of such an unique unit.

But......if relic would really add the japanese faction then the same casual Player would watch a Trailer about the japanese faction and start to ask themself: "What? Thats all? Where is the japanese Sturmtiger or Jagdtiger?" The answer is there is no such cool and unique unit in the japanese army and most casual Players would not have much fun to Play this faction.So relic would add a army that 90% of the casual Players would not Play.

Thats why i don t understand all this fanatical Hype about a japanese faction.

@Affe! Ever thought about the fact, that there is NO reason to let the Japanese play against the Russians?

They did not have any combat in WW2 so it would make no sense...

Booom all your dipshit arguments pulverized

If this is true then relic must also have dipshit arguments because they see the same Problems like i do.

Oh and BTW Japan had a fight against the soviets in 1945:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Manchuria
So it seems that your own "dipshit arguments" are pulverized now by yourself.Congratz

When i read your arrogant coment i think the guys working at relic should all quit there Jobs because "FichtenMoped" can do everything much better.He hasn t think much about the Problems with a japanese faction but he knows everything better.
