Thread: We need some 4v4 tourneys/ladders22 Apr 2015, 22:01 PM It definitely is as the game is not even designed for 4 v 4. (even down to unit descriptions). I think what is most important is a good 'caster' who has effective theories about making 4 v 4 competitive- like a line of principles, strategies, options, etc. I have seen some casters try to do 4 v 4 but they use 1 v 1 logic in their presentation, and the whole thing becomes a wash (mute time). Along side this are players who have schemas of sorts that would make the 4 v 4 look more deliberately strategic rather than just a blob-fest. Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2015, 18:12 PMSchewi -The problem is that in a 4v4 tourney a lot of players (around 50% like in previous ones) do not show up. And then with 8 people in one fight, barely any games would be happening. Frustrating for any organizer. -It is hard to cast. -There was a 4v4 clan league a while ago. Nothing happend. People were hyped at the start and many signed up, but then almost nobody played. In: Lobby
Thread: WW2 Daily Pic22 Apr 2015, 17:39 PM The Soviets used to confiscate mattresses and put them on their tanks. The idea, of course, is to prematurely detonate RPGs fired by the "faustniki". In: The Library
Thread: Do you think a Jagdpanther doctrine is on the horizon?22 Apr 2015, 13:28 PM the jagdpanther was in vcoh. I remember it was fast, had strong armor but the main "drawbacks" were the average range of its gun, low AI, and high expense. In: Lobby
Thread: The Propagandacast.22 Apr 2015, 00:49 AM I think the IR halftrack did well; I could see how he was moving his units with his visual. In: COH2 Shoutcasts
Thread: The Propagandacast.21 Apr 2015, 20:13 PM The Ironfox vs. Angriefen match has an interesting build: 3 x Rtwerf, 2 x Ostwind, 1 x IR HT plus floating 300 + fuel... the only real mistake was not getting a panther or a king tiger with that big fuel float. In: COH2 Shoutcasts
Thread: 1941 Factions21 Apr 2015, 00:42 AM Blame plan Barbarossa, German leadership errors and resistance of soviet rifle divisions- but this has nothing to do with the tank model proportions possessed by the RKKA in the summer-fall of 1941'. In: Lobby
Thread: 1941 Factions21 Apr 2015, 00:12 AM Basically we have a few people here that don't grasp Barbarossa, parrots myths, and one that resorts to straw man agenda. The KV and the T-34 had nil impact on the progress of Barbarossa. It did, however, have an impact on the progress of Operation Typhoon. The Germans lost the war in July-August 1941, with the slow and troubled execution of the Smolensk pocket. The core tanks of Barbarossa were the Bt-series and the T-26. The German infantry divisions had little trouble advancing or defending against soviet armor in 1941- their 37mm 'doorknockers' were enough. In the odd case that they had to deal with T-34 or Kv models, they used pioneers, their 88mm guns and artillery batteries. Much of the time, the soviet armored forces got outmaneuvered and were defeated without even fighting. It would be too unhistorical to use the T-34 and the KV as a core tank for a mod. In: Lobby
Thread: 1941 Factions20 Apr 2015, 18:28 PM Some historical things: Panzer IV short as the core doctrinal tank is wrong. It was a minority tank in the panzergruppes. What was present in large quantities in 1941 was the 50mm platoon mortar- this could be included. Infantry squads were also large and better trained than later in the war. Flak 88 guns were attached to tank units as a defense against possible soviet heavy models. G41 should not be there. You should include motorcyclists (elite infantry, with Calvary symbols)- a huge part of Barbarossa. The K-battalions were discontinued at the end 1942.

Thread: 1941 Factions20 Apr 2015, 18:00 PM 3 types of basic infantry: Regulars, Conscripts, and People's Militia. Regulars can be considered superior to the 'cons' from the regular game. People's Militia can be considered like ostruppen or irregulars. Also: Parachute can be considered. Tanks: BT-7 and T-26 core Soviet tanks with call-in KV and T-34 tanks. Also, lend-lease Matildas. Pz38T and Panzer III core German tanks with call-in Panzer IV short-barrelled. In: Lobby
Thread: 1941 Factions20 Apr 2015, 17:42 PM They did, however, have an advantage- the vision of hundreds of T-34s and KVs fighting tank to tank with 38T and PzIII is mythology not based on operational history.
