General Information


Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?12 May 2014, 15:17 PM ^ The key reason for its exceptional speed was that it was powered by an engine the same class of the M10 but the M18 TD itself had only half the weight. With COH2 metrics, the Hellcat would be a small target like the Stug. I would like to see view ranged enhanced (open topped).. and the striking distance of the main gun upgraded to 50. TD battalions were set up usually with only 1 type of TD. The first TD battalions were M10, and then M18 TD battalions were added in. By autumn 1944, the M36 TD battalions were appearing. In: Lobby
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?12 May 2014, 13:50 PM The M18 from VCOH is very oddly designed and I remember that it was subject to complaints for being too far fetched. The actual M18 vis a v the lightly armored M10 was this: It was very, very lightly armored and exceptionally fast. It was so lightly armored that I believe that German 37mm could knock it out (that means the Ostwind can take it out.). The M10 was vulnerable to German 50mm long barreled 50mm L/60 and above. The only reasonably well armored TD was the M36 which had a max armor 108mm. I would like to see the M36 as final tier due to the fact that the Germans will likely to have many call-in super heavy armor. The 90mm gun was in the same class as the Tiger I's 88mm as far as penetration goes. It had, however, a better High explosive performance. M10 would be mid tier and the M18 would be a call-in oddity (like the Puma) In: Lobby
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?12 May 2014, 06:12 AM ^ Death Traps has been debunked- trying Zaloga and Yeide's books. 3rd Armored division has an excellent combat record of winning battles and taking tens of thousands of prisoners. Their tank losses were high but that is the price of winning. The Tank destroyer doctrine didn't work largely because Germans were not able to attack beyond company level most of the time. US TDs were designed for defense action and counterstrokes while Shermans were offensive. Nevertheless, the TD battalions had a 3:1 claim vs. the Panzers. Even if you half that claim that is OK..In the Ardennes offensive IIRC the TDs destroyed more attacking AFV than the Shermans. In: Lobby
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?11 May 2014, 22:09 PM I'm not interested in the SP so-called argument. There's room to put it in if they want to. The M10 was not obsolete against most of the German armor (~75 % give or take). They had problems against Tigers/Panthers but most AFV were not these. They could, in COH, do a spin on the VCOH tank destroyer. They can give them all view bonuses (being open topped) and have an attack range 50. In: Lobby
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?11 May 2014, 20:57 PM US tank destroyer battalions (M10, M18, M36) in the ETO claimed a 3:1 kill ratio against the Panzers (Yeide, The tank killers) In: Lobby
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?11 May 2014, 14:24 PM I would like to see Super pershing and Pershing as a call-in from a commander. The Super pershing would be like the Tiger Ace and have similar penalties. As for USA final tier, i would like to see M36 90mms. These should be reasonably affordable and I hope that the price point is higher than the SU-85 but lower than the Panther. In: Lobby
Thread: Omega's Japanese Faction11 May 2014, 04:53 AM 1939: The Japanese were dramatically defeated by Soviet armor formations and deployments. This effectively reduced their strategic desire to attack the SU zero. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Khalkhin_Gol The biggest problem with the Japanese ground force was the lack of modern armored doctrine and armored forces. They were behind in ground fighting in open territories against western forces. The Soviets were indeed at their very best in August Storm. Their performance was superb. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?11 May 2014, 04:20 AM Maus tanks did not fight. The Super Pershing could be available in the 'Advanced US' doctrine. It'll be the US version of the Tiger Ace. It's not much of a stretch- the Expansion's flagship unit didn't do much at all during the war and unlike the Super, probably didn't even destroy a single tank. so don't feel bad when the Super Pershing commander for the low price of $3.99 comes out and knocks out the Westheer King Tiger... Jump back to quoted post11 May 2014, 02:58 AMMr. Someguy If the Super Pershing is added, then we should get Maus Tanks. After all, 1 Super Pershing was in Europe, and 1 Maus Tank was in Europe. And the Soviets would get the IS-3 as well, since they were going to be used but then "they won the war too fast". In: Lobby
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?11 May 2014, 02:21 AM That's because they won the war too fast.. In: Lobby
Thread: Western Armies - Tiers and Units?11 May 2014, 02:16 AM More superpershings were made than sturmtigers 25 against 19... In: Lobby
