Thread: Jagdtiger - The Gamebreaker2 Oct 2014, 17:34 PM It´s exactly that whole new level. Also, the lack of counters. The 88 was good but was very vulnerable to infantry and arty, which Allies had in abundance. Acceptable long range units in CoH2 also have lots of weaknesses. Jackson e.g. with very low armor and HP, thus easily countered by quick moves with your own tanks and AT infantry (which Axis have!). The other way around, there is no counter to a JT. Tanks will fail, again bc of superior Axis tank and AT inf protection and artillery is just unreliable. I miss the good old days when it was not one long-range sniper-like unit vs the other but M10 vs Panthers and Tigers in close combat. I wish the Jackson was more like a cheap, high penetration, very fast, low health tank that could lead fast attacks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jagdtiger - The Gamebreaker1 Oct 2014, 18:16 PM JT is OP in team games, no discussion here. There have already been several suggestions on how to fix/improve the situation. I think it´s hilarious how Relic nerfed the Ele/ISU (and rightfully so!) because they saw how they were too OP with their huge range. Now they introduce another unit that is even worse than ISU/Ele have ever been? For me, this applies to 95% of all team games: if I have the JT, I win. If the enemy has it, I lose. If you make it to the top 100 in team games, people are not retarded anymore. Good luck flanking it (hello Volk shreck mob! Oh, you brought only your paper armor?) or hitting it with arty (I´ll drive away and if I get hit, I´ll repair, whatevs). Btw. the the OKW flak truck shoots P47 down like flies, so much for that JohnnyB. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is OKW the strongest faction currently?22 Sep 2014, 19:46 PM It definitely is the strongest faction right now, especially in team games. As Allies you have huge problems on big, open maps. They can harass you badly, then park their flak truck on your fuel. From there it´s just stalling until the heavy tanks come out. And again - unlike OKW - the Allies have no adequate artillery to unroot camping Axis. In the mean time build a shrek blob and 1-2 Obers. The Allied inf won´t be able to compete and there is no Allied tank that can REALLY put the hurt on him. T34s/Shermans just don´t kill inf quickly enough. The only exception is the KV8, but if you get it, you will face a Panther 30 seconds later. And if you still clinge on to the game, the JT denies all your vehicles and it´s gg. Me and my mate have dropped from rank 60 to 200 because we lost against a few guys who played just like that. There is just no point in playing Allies right now. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-1524 May 2014, 15:09 PM It´s not impossible, but AFAIK only the paid commander has AT partisans. And even then, is it not random whether they come with PTRS or Shreck? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-1524 May 2014, 14:35 PM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2014, 11:25 AMCardboard Tank You are missing the point. Germans have to go Elefant to not lose. All I saw in that video were horribly microed T-34/85s rushing over the river and getting stuck. And god forbid that the Elefant beats the ISU! The ISU only has superb anti infantry capabilities while also being good versus armor, while the Elefant only excels at anti-tank, guess who should win. The problem is if the Germans don´t go for Elefant, they usually have lost. And that´s super boring. There are people who play for fun, not to win. And going Elefant every game isn´t fun. You´re right. Without an Elefant you will have a really tough time vs ISU. The problem is that you cannot exploit the weakness of the Elefant (= infantry) because there is no Soviet infantry with strong enough AT capabilities to take it out. The Elefant lets you dominate all armor, thus your Ostwind or whatever can kill all inf without worrying about tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-1522 May 2014, 11:58 AM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2014, 11:55 AMAustralian Magic My thought after just finished 1v1 game. If T34/85 can kill easily 3/4 squad, why ISU cannot? Remember that there are 2 T34/85 and if 1 can kill 3/4 squad then what can do 2 of them? Pretty much all tanks have insane AI this patch. The problem is that the ISU does it at 100 range right now. Either the AI gets worse or its range must be reduced. I think both Elefant and ISU should lose range. Countering them with "stock" vehicles like P4 or T34 would become more viable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soviet mines - squad wipes2 May 2014, 11:53 AM Soviet mines are too strong right now. Tbh, I cannot believe, this is intended. Minesweepers are a must right now but you cannot build 3 to 4 pios just to avoid wipes on all of your squads roaming the map. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-1522 May 2014, 11:50 AM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2014, 11:34 AMKronosaur0s Soviets have ISU? If you dont have elefant its gg. Germans have Elefant? Dont go T4/ISU/IS2 and spam T34/Sherman. If your opponent goes ISU and you don´t have an Elefant (talking 2v2), you´re absolutely right. The second statement is also right, but it´s still not a viable counter. Those tanks get engine damage from fausts 100% of the time. If the Elefant is halfway protected (which THEY always are), you will lose the smaller tanks one by one while the Elefant needs repairs at best (= you lose MP/fuel, he doesn´t). It´s annoying how every 2v2 has turned into ISU vs. Elefant, which the latter wins. Both need a nerf as suggested in Cruzz´ thread. And apart from that, yes, the ISU should not be so strong vs Inf after the AT buff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cruzz's fantasy patch thread2 May 2014, 11:46 AM 100% agree. Great work, Cruzz. Relic, read carefully please. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets this patch - uncounterable strat11 Jan 2014, 12:25 PM I do not have the Osttruppen doctrine and I also do not have Assault Grens. Please stop bringing up counters that you only get with paid DLC. In: Replays
