Thread: Volkssturm commander?28 Jun 2014, 02:09 AM Those photos are caps from a German propaganda newsreel, it's on youtube somewhere. In reality many volksturm either deserted, surrendered or were targets for artillery concentrations. Many women served as auxiliaries and service elements for the armed forces. In: Lobby
Thread: Volkssturm commander?28 Jun 2014, 00:41 AM The history behind the design of OKW is bogus. The personnel quality of German formations in 44' were lower than those of 43', and those of 43' were lower than those of 42'. The Wehr peaked in 41' in this area. The winter 1944 German elite divisions were generally a thin strip of veterans from earlier battles bolstered by the majority: green conscripts age 18-16 frequently. Generally 3 months of training or less prior to the Ardennes offensive. The damage caused by the offensive was mostly the result of strategic surprise and deception rather than formation quality. Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2014, 00:20 AMREforever Wouldn't that go against the whole point of the Oberkommando West? The units that are available to the OKW are supposed to represent the German Army in the late 40's(Battle hardened and having the best equipment in the war) which is evident by the fact that every unit the OKW has is high cost, but very effective; having a cheap conscript/penal like unit in the unit roster doesn't make any sense, and it would also throw the balance off by quite a bit. I don't think i'm alone in saying that the current balance is pretty damned great at the moment. In: Lobby
Thread: US anti-tank options?28 Jun 2014, 00:12 AM I used to make zero bazookas (all 1 x BAR or 30 cal.) but seeing bazooka blobbing successful I changed my mind. I moved the muni to bazookas in my last few US games and made few or zero AT guns. The AT gun manpower was shifted into reinforcement and thanks to US strengths, I don't lose squads too much. the US 50 cal. does great damage and suppresses from range 45. At guns are defensive and can cover a VP but I often lose them. i don't like the US AT gun performance either- its penetration is significantly inferior to pak/Zis and close to the bazooka's. The US bazookas are inferior to the Panzershreck. 1 or 2 is not enough. They do 80 instead of 120 damage, have inferior pen (120 instead of 180?, I'll check again later) and are really only useful against rear armor of OKW tanks. They need to be stacked up to stalk tanks offensively and of course not walking right up into their face,- I've liked used 4-5 tubes of them at once so far (focus fire). This includes the officer that comes with double bazookas. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: US anti-tank options?27 Jun 2014, 23:23 PM Out of the AT options, I've had only good success doing this: Offensive, tank hunting option: 3 x Bazooka blob with HMGs providing suppression and protecting them. This is costly in manpower but US has super healing and 5 man squads. Defensive or evasive, fire brigade option: Jackson shoot & scoot from max ranges (50-60). The M10 just doesn't work and I don't think the buff (5 range to 50) will change its value significantly. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: US anti-tank options?27 Jun 2014, 22:56 PM There's the 57mm gun, the tank destroyers, and the bazooka blobbing. What have you been using and what is the most effective? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What War Spoils have you won?27 Jun 2014, 22:03 PM The value of Soviet commanders has depreciated much... I haven't heard of anyone winning the Tank Hunter tactics (Soviet), Not one step back tactics (Soviet), Mechanized Company (US), and Scavenger (OKW) yet. Of those that were unlucky to win vcoh2 commanders, I have heard of Terror (me), Storm, and Advanced Warfare. Also, everyone I've heard except for RiflesReady has only won 1 commander. In: Lobby
