Thread: Interview Greg Wilson & Quinn Duffy on Expansion!!3 Apr 2014, 12:03 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2014, 11:07 AMMr. Someguy They're probably going to be mobile but lack heavy tanks. So no M26 Pershing this time. On the other hand, OKW will probably be 'clunkier' with better armour and more heavy tanks. I m pretty sure USA will have the Pershing in one of the commanders. The OKW seems to be a mix of many small tanks like Panzer II and II and heavy tanks as call ins like sturmtiger, Jagdtiger and maybe even king tiger or jagdpanther. In: Lobby
Thread: My take on tank battles3 Apr 2014, 10:59 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2014, 10:04 AMHS King Statistics can be decieving.. germans destroyed hundreds of tanks in the first part of the war as the russians retreated and i doubt the figures are adjusted for this. I bet in later battles the kills very similar. If tiger was so good why did they start making tiger 2 and king tiger after encountering russian tanks like the IS2? Something may be highly engineered and still be worse than something more simple. the corvette ZR1 has basic engine and suspension but it will thrash ferarris 4 times its price around a race track.. Look I like german tanks.. the panther is just sweet looking but i can admit that the soviets had better tanks. Look at modern tanks do they look more like german vehicles such as tiger or panzer or more like the russian t models and is2.. yeh i though so. Soviets had there highest tank losses in 1943. http://www.wwiivehicles.com/wwii/production.asp tank losses: year: German losses: Soviet losses: 1941.... 2,758........ 20,500 1942.... 2,648........ 15,000 1943.... 6,362........ 22,400 1944.... 6,434........ 16,900 1945.... 7,382........ 8,700 In 1944 when the IS-2 showed up the high tank losses for the soviets didn t Change.In 1945 the tank losses for Germans/soviets was only more similar because of lack of fuel for germans and because german tanks were extremely outnumbered then. Germans start to make tiger 2 after they Encounter the IS-2?Dude the king tiger was build Long before the IS-2 hit the battlefield.The tiger II production has started in 1943 and the first IS-2 and king tigers entered the battlefield in 1944.The production of the tiger II has nothing to do with the upcome of the IS-2.

Thread: My take on tank battles2 Apr 2014, 11:24 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Apr 2014, 11:14 AMCardboard Tank Read a book. Even in 1945 the Soviets lost more tanks. IS-2 and ISU-152 were inferior to Panther tanks and not totally thought out. A big gun and armor isn´t everything. The IS-2 had accuracy issues as the gun had to be elevated back to the standard position after every shot to reload it. Thus accuracy was very poor. IS-2 and ISU-152 had awkward reload times, such as 2 shots and 1 shot per minute respectively. Germans had better accuracy, better crews, better reload times. Germans should have better tanks. Disagreed. The Tiger achieved much higher kill ratios than any Russian tank. Just google tank aces. You will find German crews with upto 150+ confirmed kills. For the Russians you won´t. As I said above, a big gun and much armor on a tank like the IS-2 means nothing, if you have trouble hitting your target. Panther and IS-2 could take each other out, but keep in mind the Panther had a higher rate of fire, could keep the gun on target while reloading, had better optics, crew comfort and was usually in a defensive position. Panther should be better. There is also a nice doku about the tiger vs IS-2 duel during the battle of the Baltics.A few german tiger aces against masses of soviet tanks and it showed that the IS-2 could be destroyed by 1 shot of the Tiger if he aimed for the turret weak Points of the IS-2.Th german tanker here talked about it that Germans always aimed for the turret and not the front armour.The doku is based on Otto carius and others memories.It also Shows the weaknesses of the IS-2 with the reload times.Very interesting doku.Its based on true Events: In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: My take on tank battles2 Apr 2014, 11:11 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Apr 2014, 09:50 AMHS King The gist of it is Soviets should have better end game tanks than the germans as they had better tanks in the war. This isn't western front where german Armour reigned supreme, the soviets had better tanks mid and late war one that would demolish a tiger or panther tanks such as the IS2 and ISU152. This is not really true as the tank losses statistics Show it: http://www.wwiivehicles.com/wwii/production.asp go on "tank losses". The soviets lost more then 83500 tanks while Germans only 25,584. Its undeniable that ost has the infantry advantage – and I think soviets should have the end game heavy armour advantage ( doctrinal with the IS2, KV2, ISU152 ect) the tiger was not the best tank of the war – maybe on the western front but in the east russian armour ruled supreme by the later stages of the war) The statistic of the tiger Shows it had maybe the best Kill/lost ratios of all tanks in WW2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_heavy_tank_battalion "Combat Performance" Tiger loss/kill Ratio 1 : 5.74 this was outstanding for a tank in WW2.Most allied tanks had negativ ratios. IS-2 just Needs more health.He already has more damage, Penetration and armour then the tiger. And the ISU-152 Needs a bit more armour and Penetration and he must be a bit cheaper.. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: CoH vet here. Should I get into CoH2???31 Mar 2014, 17:39 PM The Community of CoH2 has enormous shrunk after the release only a Little Group of People still Play it because this game is a downgrade on many Points. You cant even build tank traps without a commander. CoH2 also has a low unit Variation low amount of strategical and tactical Options.Too much commanders...........A big design fail.Terrible balancing.Its sad what relic has done to this game.

Thread: Poll: USA + Soviets in one team?30 Mar 2014, 00:53 AM and there was only ever 50 ostawinds ever built. Real life numbers mean nothing in this game and the japanese will have whatever number of tanks they need and whatever stats they need to be balanced. Ok so an outdated light tanks getting so hard buffed that it can deal with a big Monster IS-2 tank?I think this would look curious.I know this game isn t really realistic but i think this would be over the top.

Thread: Poll: USA + Soviets in one team?30 Mar 2014, 00:51 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2014, 00:40 AMWiFiDi would have rather seen japan and us i think ti would have been a better match up and fit the scope of the game far better. that said they have probably worked on it (and planned it long before that.) since the game was released. so its to late for any armys to change. also ive always loved how they never split the multiplayer i feel it hurts games when you do that far more than it benefits it. How should Japan work in such a game.Imagine a 2vs2 multiplayer match with 2 japanese vs US-Soviets. Usa calling in Pershing. Soviets call in IS-2. And Japan......welt they have to call in a light tank similar to the T-70. This should be an epic matchup......... Japan would fit perfect in the game if they had good medium and heavy tanks but they never had such in WW2.I can t imagine a way how relic should Balance such a faction and make them fun to Play.Can you?
