Observations:
1) Be very careful what you build starting out, Conscripts will often bleed manpower and take up too much fuel for their upgrades and delay your early tanks. You don't want to spend too much in the early game or upkeep and reinforcement will be a problem later
2) You have loads of munitions and little very obvious to spend them on (there isn't any need to spam repair stations like I see people do). Mines and Demo charges will be very helpful
3) As noted above you may wish to delay activating it
4) Like with all medium tanks you need to be careful with the first few until you get critical mass
5) M5s will help deal with Shrek blobs
6) If any of your teammates have mark target that will be very useful
The rest is theory-crafting because I haven't tried this in game yet but:
7) Should synergise well with heavy US play in Team Games (ie More than 1 of them) because then you have to win quick
8) It's tempting to think that the idea is to push out tanks as fast as possible and not care too much about losing them.
I'm coming to the conclusion that that is a bad idea because you won't have the MP to replace them easily and that you have fantastic repair abilities for a reason
9) If you concentrate on running a "normal" economy you will have a bunch of fuel you cannot use; this is liberating because you can have respectable income without controlling much territory. All that matters then is playing aggressively and only caring about the VPs and the enemy's cut-off, at which point your tanks VET 1 ability actually becomes handy.
Effectively you are like a reverse OKW - they have plentiful MP but limited FUEL, you tend to have the opposite. So in both cases denying territory to the enemy is often more useful than taking it for yourself

This commander have no late game which will render your opponents with shitty stock units if you manage to survive that long. This, also each one of those things is about 50 fuel which will further delay their teching It's a "Win big early" strat; and one especially effective because it isn't seen very often. I always make sure I have MHTs somewhere in my loadout, and should remember to check if the enemy have it in their loadout (sometimes I forget, and that goes badly...) |

Thread: Fantasy Faction X: Artillery8 Dec 2014, 09:31 AM
I'm deliberately not including the Mortor Half Tracks, not only are they on the lighter end of the scale here but they will be again offered in the 'Light AFV' category Remember that this faction has NO off map abilities at all, so whatever we chose here has to be good. As this faction is unable to build caches I am tempted to say that fuel will be at a premium so one of the fixed artillery positions would be very good. However it is not like this faction is likely to have lots of MP available either given that thus far everything is expensive. The Bulldozer Sherman, Sturmtiger and Brummbar don't give true range or indirect, so they are out. The SU-76 has cheap barrage but is generally pudding and lacks range The B4 will punish point targets and single heavies in the hands of complacent players, but this faction is neither Axis nor Allies so will often lack suitable targets. Other fixed options are expensive in MP Any of the Rocket Options will be good here in their different ways I will say then it comes down to the Priest or the ISU-152; and I will go with the Priest as it has both mobility and good indirect ability - giving all the abilities of the fixed pieces without their vulnerabilities In: COH2 Gameplay |

The stock Panzer IV took the medium slot at 27%, technically a tie if you count various varieties of Sherman together (but then you could add on the P-IV battlegroup..) http://www.coh2.org/topic/25090/fantasy-faction-i-builder-units http://www.coh2.org/topic/25222/fantasy-faction-ii-core-infantry http://www.coh2.org/topic/25382/fantasy-faction-iii-elite-infantry http://www.coh2.org/topic/25584/fantasy-faction-iv-elite-infantry http://www.coh2.org/topic/25935/fantasy-faction-v-machine-guns http://www.coh2.org/topic/26653/fantasy-faction-vi-indirect-fire http://www.coh2.org/topic/26896/fantasy-faction-vii-direct-fire-artillery http://www.coh2.org/topic/27497/fantasy-faction-viii-light-vehicles http://www.coh2.org/topic/27799/fantasy-faction-ix-medium-tank Builder Unit: Sturmpioneers OKW 58% Core Infantry: Grenadiers Ostheer 32% Elite Infantry: Obersoldaten OKW 28% Unlockable Upgrade: IR STG 44 OKW 47% Machine Gun: MG42 Ostheer 50% Indirect Fire: 120mm Soviet 50% Direct Fire: PaK-40 Ostheer 67% Light Vehicle: Puma OKW 35% Medium Tank: Panzer IV OKH 27% Faction now looks like this: T0: Sturmpioneers T1: Grenadiers, MG42 T2: PAK 40, Puma T3: Panzer IV T4: Obersoldaten CP2: 120mm Mortar CP3: IR STG We are unable to build caches, but Grenadiers can build bunkers and Sturms can salvage Tech structure will be similar to OKH, but costs will not necessarily be the same +++++++++++++++ Structure is coming together I shall now do Artillery, then Tank Destroyers, go back to fill out the Light AFV position and leave Heavy Tanks until last.

This includes all Static indirect artillery, rocket pieces, things like the Brummbar and the SU-76 as well as the ISU-152. In: COH2 Gameplay |

My upload time sucks right now, so I cannot get pictures on DOG are at 300/80 So they need no more Vet, just some heal I will try to avoid using them except for a truly hard mission or to spare the others as at Vet 3 they can get no better Then again, saving overall strength is more important than overall vet FOX are at 26/73 So they need heal and Vet Baker are at 14/100 So I will be using them next Houffalize I want to leave Bastonge is at 3 so the only other adjacent one, so there I go Walk around Dog in Stavelot: Cover Specialisation available in St Cith No interested Baker to Armour Assault in Bastogne Outskirts it is Enemy is at level 3, so will have MHTs and Light Mech Support As I want to kill Vehicles this should all be good I get extra armour every 6 minutes (however it will not be good) And there is a PAK 43 somewhere In: Campaign & Co-op |
Thread: Moving forward, what factions / theatres do you want?6 Dec 2014, 00:15 AM
If I was going to do it I would do it like this: Stand-alone factions Commonwealth France Commanders Hungary, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, etc, etc (OKH) Brazil, Free France (US) Nations Italy (AOKH), Finland (OKH - but can be on either side) Neither Italy nor Finland have enough to hang an entire faction around, but are too different to be a commander by itself Instead a NATION gives you 5 commander abilities, but also replaces some of the core units with alternates So Finland might get: Better Snipers instead of the OKH one Ski-troops instead of P-Grens In: Lobby |
