Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies10 Jun 2014, 20:35 PM The best version of the Sherman- the Sherman 76mm "Easy Eight". What makes the Soviets so good against OKW from his opinion? In: Lobby
Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.10 Jun 2014, 20:23 PM ^ German Cold War, US-written tactical accounts on the behavior of the 'Soviets' (not Russians- the Germans were also so daft to call the British..'the english') should be approached with heavy caution. This extends from Balck to Guderian to Raus. The bias is very strong- The US interviewed these commanders to learn about 'successful' engagements. The Germans rarely talked about when their tactics failed and they tend to excuse away their defeats. The Germans also have very little insight and military intelligence on Soviet forces past the summer of 1941. What is bad tactics of the day could be good implementation of a larger scale operation or strategy. IMO, learn about Soviet forces from modern russian sources, and learn about German forces accordingly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies10 Jun 2014, 20:11 PM Awesome... if there is a commander with the jumbo...480 is harsh and low. I am 100% certain the the devs saw this video. Puppchen has a pretty harsh recoil: In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies10 Jun 2014, 19:27 PM ^^^ I think that puppchen is going to be pretty important. I'm guessing that its performance and cost will be lower than both Zis and Pak. Cost is probably going to be in the range of HMG/mortar but more than the 45mm AT gun (200 MP) Its penetration is going to be around that of the panzershreck, and its range/accuracy is going to be better. Around 3? by the time T-34s/Sherman 75s start spamming will probably be what the OKW will be needing. Panzershreck: 180 max penetration, 120 damage. Range: 35 My guess: Puppchen: 180 max pen, 120 damage, Range: 50 In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies10 Jun 2014, 17:45 PM OKW would be an OP faction if they had normal resources for everything. Guessestimate: By the time Ostheer has 2 1/2 x Panzer IV Gs and the Soviets have 3 x T-34/76s, the OKW can get 1 panther out. In: Lobby
Thread: USA Unit List10 Jun 2014, 14:56 PM An interesting aspect of USA tiering is the availability of three elite squads. The Major doesn't need to be replaced if he is lost but the Lt.(Bar squad) and Captain's squad (Bazooka squad) look like cost effective must-builds. I caught the price of the Lt. and IIRC, it was 300 MP. So in a game there will be probably be 2 less rear echelon, riflemen, or other infantry. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies10 Jun 2014, 14:02 PM The basic gist: You get supply trucks every so often. There are 3 buildings to make after the base building. The supply trucks cost resources to convert into buildings. The OKW gets only 1/3rd of the fuel and munitions on captured points. Making a building on a point gives them normal resources. The faction is fuel and munitions starved. It must defend its base far forward instead of to the rear. But it can build 'T3-T4' quality units from every building. On a side note, it looks to me that it's very important to quickly secure fuel and munitions points with the buildings. In: Lobby

Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies10 Jun 2014, 02:03 AM I just pre-ordered it. I completely missed the alpha sign up dates as well. I largely lost most interest in COH2 by Jan 2014 and only played once in a while since then. Between then and now, I played a little Vcoh and a little Men of War:AS but that's it. I uninstalled/reinstalled the game a few times. The Elbe day patch got me to reinstall the game again. I didn't pay much attention to WFA until the pictures and the trailers. As of now, I don't think I have much more to add unless Relic releases another video. The thanks must go to nearly everybody who participated in this thread The Game is looking much better than its predecessor, and I think we'll have a blast Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2014, 18:59 PMspam.r33k what have you done relic. WHY didnt i apply for the alpha when i had the chance. i envy you who are in it. you are to keep your sanity while i suffer the vilest form of madness... btw huge thanks to coh2player for all that info. it kept me out of the looney bin over the last couple of days. pls dont stop Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2014, 19:08 PMausterlitz Exactly my situation,i end up checking the unit profile blog page six times a day for an update...but fuck they are still stuck at jackson..i demand one unit profile per day!

Thread: OKW Unit list10 Jun 2014, 01:29 AM ^ 100% sure it's a carbine: These are very famous bulge photos (that the illustrator copied) There are two men, one with MP40 and the other with a carbine. G43 rifle is considerably larger and longer. Overview of the Poteau ambush.: In: COH2 Gameplay
