Thread: Lol 7.5cm le.IG 1810 Jul 2014, 20:27 PM +1, I have seen it parked right next to the medic truck and just firing, firing away.. and the US pak howie is amazingly bad. It seems broken or something. Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2014, 20:04 PMOmega_Warrior This has been the most infuriating unit to fight against lately. It often gets deployed right outside the medic truck so counter battery is usually useless as it will constantly reinforce and heal. You will have to fight your enemies entire army to get to it and if you manage to decrew it it will be recrewed and reinforced in a matter of seconds. It has an amazing RoF, accuracy, and AoE. It can also damge any armor that tries to attack it as well acting also as a light AT gun that's pretty lethal to the allies armor especially the US. It really need some nerfs somewhere, it's performing a tad to well at the moment, especially when compared to the US Pack howitzer which is more expensive, but worse. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle infantry cmdr is the best10 Jul 2014, 19:58 PM ^ Thanks for that. I had asked about that in another thread. The 210 armor sounds nice, but by 9CP it doesn't mean that much against OKW. Against Ost it sounds good. Against puppchen, puma, & panzershreck it sounds good too. How is it against paks and PzJ IVs?? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company10 Jul 2014, 19:48 PM Recon company would probably serve your needs. I hope to eventually get it too, as by 7 CP you can drop the AT gun plus 2 x paras with either SMG or LMGs at a big discount: http://www.coh2.org/guides/19066/u.s.-forces-commanders#730 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company10 Jul 2014, 17:46 PM In the matches I've used only 1 pathfinder squad, and mainly to extend line of sight for the rifles/officers. In early game, I have been dropping HMGs right off the bat and then crewing them with rifles. The added cost of the support weapons is easily negated by their timeliness to me. In mid game, I drop AT guns and often do not even unlock the captain (go straight for the major, then the sherman) With paras, I drop them as infrequently as possible and maybe get 2 squads out to reinforce a push or reinforce a defense. In sum, the most important thing about Airborne to me are the HMGs and the AT guns. Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2014, 17:03 PMPart time commie @coh2player: if they are about reinforcing your main line, why do they bother having pathfinders? Their whole purpose IRL was to go ahead of the army and recon the drop zone (which was behind the enemy line). It's a really interesting gameplay mechanic and it shows their intention with this. They whanted to make a company that would be able to operate behind enemy lines for a decent amount of time. Also, what's the use of a company that can react to hard situation for your main force and named ariborne? It,s counter intuitive and never was the primary use of this company since the debut of this serie. I Could also just select a company that would instead not force me into desperate situation and better support a front line. I can see how you want them to be the main force, and raiders of sorts like the Fallschirms. I agree that doing this does not really work with US airborne, as the paras don't have the firepower right off the bat to do so. They need the 120 muni upgrade which is often not available.

Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company10 Jul 2014, 16:40 PM I consider airborne a good doctrine but the P47 is almost worthless. It makes one reliable pass but that's it. So it's a doctrine with 4 abilities to me. The munitions used on the P47 would be better served getting weapons upgrades. I believe the idea behind this doctrine is to quickly drop support weapons and infantry when they are needed and during desperate situations. This is why the support weapons and paras are all priced at a premium. Overall, this doctrine, more so than others help maintain a continuous front line on the VPs without having forced retreats and costly (time/circumstance wise) delays in reinforcement. The paratroopers are not the main force. The main forces are still officers and rifles. The paras and support weapons are the supplementary force that you call in when you're on the ropes. Then you reinforce everything with the ambulance. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The realities of warfare 10 Jul 2014, 06:46 AM PTSD most greatly affects the men that fought for a long time and survived their experiences. Those that were killed were pardoned the disorder. The problem with Vietnam is the duration of activity. Most American troops survived their tour(s) in Vietnam. Unlike in WW2, they did not come back being treated as heroes. In WW2, the survival rate was much lower. In the Japanese, German, and Soviet army it was horrible. The rifle battalions of an established division could experience 10 times turnover or more in personnel over the course of the war. Those that were there in the beginning and served to the end were the surviving few, often having been wounded a few times. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: General World War 2 Discussion Thread10 Jul 2014, 00:44 AM That's a 'what-if' scenario. Instead of the Panther (Panzer III/IV development goes back to before the war), at the most basic they were probably better off with a medium tank that had the engine of the Sherman and had a lower cost, sloped superstructure that was only a few tons heavier than the Sherman. Then their typical specifications of 5 man crew, 75 high velocity, 80+ rounds of ammunition, visibility, sloped frontal armor @ 80mm could be put into place. That's what I think, anyway.

Thread: Infantry Blobs9 Jul 2014, 21:07 PM I got steamrolled early game by a Scavenger user. The Jaeger infantry squad did high DPS while the sturmpios and volks blob closed in and just rolled over my rifles time and time again. My 50 cals were not enough. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Company: How is it?9 Jul 2014, 18:02 PM in cohstats the E8 has 210 frontal armor and the highest pen of the medium tanks (exc. panther). Does the armor, in practice, really help much against the OKW or ost? I know the pen does. puppchens, shrecks, and pumas should have problems penning the front but everything else it probably won't matter. It looks like the E8 may be great against Ost T3, though.
