Thread: ISU-152 (solution inside)25 May 2014, 14:24 PM This is an example of ISU vs Tiger that I was advocating. Tigers trump ISU once in range and overall can help you more than an elefant. German T3 like P4s are too fragile, and from skipping around, this ISU knocks out 3 of them before it is easily KO'ed by the tiger. This is why I don't really find the ISU as OP as others do. skip to 32:00 My game plan currently is to go T3, Stug III G then to Tigers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Osttruppen25 May 2014, 04:17 AM How does the accuracy and dps compare to grens? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Osttruppen25 May 2014, 03:55 AM I think their HP is just about right- its the half DPS that makes them look weaker. They are good for emergency capping needs and recrewing support weapons but otherwise it's grens.. I like the mobile defense ostruppen raffle, though. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: ISU-152 (solution inside)24 May 2014, 16:52 PM Who else likes attacking ISU and its support with Spearhead commander? (Tiger tank, frag bomb, 3 infantry squads) Mechanized assault also works (light howie, Tiger, 3 infantry squads) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 (solution inside)23 May 2014, 19:41 PM ^ I don't think P4s work well anymore post-patch. They're too fragile and their pen isn't good enough. The thing with the ISU is that it is a mobile defensive unit that 'locks' the Soviet player into a defensive line sort of situation; the ISU is there typically with units in support and ISU takes up 24 pop cap. By responding with the 'me too' tactic of elefant + support units, you have this attrition situation while the two SP guns snipe at each other. The advantage of this, espec. in Minsk goes to the ISU. On the other hand, you can take advantage of the defensive line lockdown and go Tiger, and try to flank & do close combat against the concentration with combined arms. That's how I see it.

Thread: ISU-152 (solution inside)23 May 2014, 18:59 PM Of course, the Tiger's range is short- but it has great armor, fast rate of fire, high AI, high pen, and the highest HP. It needs to maneuver as close as possible to the ISU to beat it quickly. Getting an elefant to counter the ISU is very much a reactive, 'me too' strat. Even if the ISU is knocked out, you have this high cost AFV that is poor AI. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-152 (solution inside)23 May 2014, 18:22 PM What about Tiger vs. ISU? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: To Peter and RELIC23 May 2014, 14:06 PM This game has asymmetrical design so the Soviets/Germans each have their weaknesses and strengths. The Tiger Tank is clearly much better than the Is-2 but they cost around the same. The ISU-152 is better than the Elefant at AI and worse than it in AT. IMO try the Tiger tank (the most cost effective German unit) for your woes and use different strats. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: WW2 Daily Pic22 May 2014, 17:09 PM ^ I think that's air force radar staff? Not sure, though. Jump back to quoted post22 May 2014, 16:51 PMafrrs didnt noticed , thx for the info Only 600 or so German combat soldiers survived to win the Close combat clasp in Gold. Out of these, only 98 won the Close combat clasp in gold and the Knight's Cross. There is a book about this (called the face of courage) by a hard core Wehr fan. It's safe to say that these 600 men, out of millions were talented warriors that were not only lucky but deadly. They had the 6th sense for close combat. In: The Library
