Thread: does hand held AT need a slight buff in damage?7 Jul 2014, 15:24 PM I actually like the current cost setup for RPGs. I like RPGs as a supporting AT weapon, and not as a AT blobbing instigator. In vcoh they were too cheap and RPG blobs worked too much. In this game you'd really have to drain your munitions supply empty to RPG blob and that's a good thing. My rule of thumb is that the bazooka needs as least 3 tubes to be effective, and the Panzershreck needs at least 2 tubes. The Pshreck does 120 and the Bazooka does 80. Anything over 120 is too much IMO. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Mechanized Company Tactics7 Jul 2014, 06:56 AM Thank goodness for the refund, right? :-D What I do is this: I get 1-2 dodges and use them as battle taxis or sometimes have rifles fire from the vehicles themselves. When the shrecks and Puppchens start appearing, I return the dodges for the refund. The only thing I keep is the M3 halftrack, as it can do everything. I really like how it's so easy to quickly mass units where you want them to with these vehicles. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Late game decision: Sturmtiger or Stuka + IR halftrack7 Jul 2014, 05:08 AM A good way to use it is to hide it behind a house or a hedgerow, and then ambush the squad that is capping. Then make a joker face :-D In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Mechanized Company Tactics7 Jul 2014, 04:51 AM What kind of new tactics have you guys been using? The artillery, recon and refund is a no-brainer, but how have you guys been using the new clown car and the super halftrack? Aesthetically, it gives me pleasure just to use the Sherman and the halftrack (loaded with flamer and officer) together. I make 2 dodges to cap points early on and the dodge makes the mounted rifle squad more deadly. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rifle Company: How is it?7 Jul 2014, 03:42 AM My question is this: What do you guys do with armor typically once you hit 9 CPs and the game drags on to the 1 hr mark? Say you start with M36s. How does your armor composition change? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: General World War 2 Discussion Thread7 Jul 2014, 00:51 AM ^^ That's a good one. We were assigned this when I studied WW2 in college. Other good German infantry combat memoirs are 'In Deadly Combat' and 'Blood red snow'. The author of 'In deadly combat' wore the close combat clasp and rose from private to major in five years- he ended commanding an assault battalion. 'Blood Red Snow', about an HMG gunner of panzer division, has a lot of visceral depiction of the street fighting situation at Stalingrad. 'Tank Rider'- about the commander of Soviet SMG tank rider troops is very useful for getting a personal feel of infantry support of red army tank forces. 'Commanding the Red Army's Sherman Tanks' is unread but I have a copy. I have read articles from the author and was impressed enough to get his book. In: The Library

Thread: My issue with the OKW.6 Jul 2014, 19:22 PM ^^^ I believe that getting 3 Volks squads and giving them pshrecks is absolutely vital. The puppchens alone cannot carry the mid-game AT. The thing with OKW is that it needs pairs to create synergies. Infantry pairs with meatshields and damage dealers (volks + sturms, fusiliers, FJ, obers) or armor pairs with one At and one AI (panther/jagdpanzer + P2, or panther/jagdpanzer + stuka, etc) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Late game decision: Sturmtiger or Stuka + IR halftrack6 Jul 2014, 17:50 PM You have a panther on the field already but need to thin out the infantry and support weapons. Which one and what situation would tilt your choice? In: COH2 Gameplay
