Thread: Soviet AT too map and commander call in dependant6 Jun 2014, 17:43 PM Historically, the Soviets' AT defense grew exponentially stronger via mass proliferation of AT guns and improved tactics & org. Between 1941-1943, Soviet AT guns increased to 20-25 guns per KM of front line, which was 4-10 times Soviet AT strength in the summer of 1941. So being neck deep in AT guns, the Soviets didn't even bother with copying bazookas and panzershreck type weapons. The At riflemen were usually paired up with the AT guns to complement their anti-vehicle/AFV strength. So the Soviets won't likely get bazookas non doctrinally since the dev have some level of adherence to history. Probably the main solution for Soviet soft AT is to make Soviet AT guns a bit cheaper and less costly in pop cap (eg. 6) I would also be really pleased to see them make a Zis-2 (57mm high velocity dedicated AT, better than Zis-3) being non-doc but I'm not counting on it. There's also the 100mm B-3 heavy AT gun (soviet version of pak43) that the soviets could get but I'm not counting on it either. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 14:58 PM ^ The KT's turret rotation from vcoh was so slow that even shifting the platform of the tank couldn't make it fast enough in the practical sense. This was a unit that required a substantial escort. It's probably NDA but it would be interesting to know how the Coh2 KT compares to VCOH KT. In: Lobby
Thread: How do I send Imperial Dane Replays?6 Jun 2014, 13:00 PM ^^^ He also doesn't mine much, right? I haven't seen enough of his games yet. I guess there are tradeoffs with micro and observation. He doesn't toggle the minimap either (neither do I). I also don't use snipers as much as I should as I find that sniper babysitting takes away from other tasks. Ditto for mines- I constantly forget to use them enough. Also, I don't use artillery guns much either as I always go for armor call-ins plus rockets for artillery. But medic bunker/medics is one of the first things I always get. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 12:43 PM I felt that way about the Terror doctrine KT from vcoh. Not that having a slow rolling bunker wasn't effective, but that type of gameplay is not my style. The Tiger I was a more balanced performer in vcoh and unlike the KT, it could keep up with stugs and so forth.

Thread: M36 Jackson Unit Reveal6 Jun 2014, 06:02 AM ^ Yeah, the resource penalty makes it seem like OKW will be really vulnerable to mines and squad wipes. Armor is few in number but individually good- as if the player went for heavy call-ins or T4 every game. In: Lobby
Thread: M36 Jackson Unit Reveal6 Jun 2014, 05:55 AM All the factions will be re-patched after WFA is released so it will be better balanced. The OKW's units look pretty damn good but I suspect that the resource penalty will be steep. The fancy units are there but the cash isn't. If this faction realistically gets only ~70-80% of the resources of other factions, then it won't overpower Ost I think. USA is looking really strong right now outside of the lack of line breaking heavy armor. However, I did notice the prices of the infantry units are higher than non doc Ost/Soviet. It's in the 300 MP range. Armor prices look to be actually a tad low. Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2014, 05:42 AM__deleted__ But maybe we should stop compare it to the Ostheer units. Anyway I think Ostheer will be overpassed by far and forgoten. Anyone playing with it will take a severe beating. Probably OKW will have more reliable units, though more expensive. Overall, probably meta will be favourable to USA (as it was in vCOH, what should we expect?) but it would be nice for the german faction to have a chance, even if this chance is smaller. In: Lobby
Thread: M36 Jackson Unit Reveal6 Jun 2014, 00:46 AM ^ The M36 is maneuverable and has good speed- unlike the SU-85 and the G-Wagon from vcoh. In: Lobby
Thread: M36 Jackson Unit Reveal5 Jun 2014, 21:38 PM The range was stated to be 60 and the fuel price is 135. It's in the same building that produces M4 and M8. So it's pretty good unit. In: Lobby
Thread: M36 Jackson Unit Reveal5 Jun 2014, 20:40 PM Brief Description: Relatively fragile M36 Tank Destroyer has a powerful gun that can outrange most enemy armored vehicles. Deployment Conditions: Needs Major unlocked. Deployed From: Battalion Command Post Quote: Kill those stupid bastards. Abilities: Vehicle Crew Disembark: The Vehicle Crew squad exits the vehicle. This Vehicle Crew is armed with M3 Grease Guns and can repair vehicles and structures or capture territory. T30E16 HVAP-T Armor Piercing Rounds: Switch to firing HVAP-T shells that offer substantial improvements in armor penetration against very heavy targets. Veterancy Levels Rank 1: The unit can use HVAP (High Velocity Armor Piercing shells, giving the tank destroyer better accuracy and armor penetration. Rank 2: Advanced vehicle training improves vehicle sighting weapon accuracy, and rate of fire. Rank 3: Veteran crews are better able to target weak points in enemy armor, increasing penetration in addition to rate of fire. Description: Built off the older M10 chassis the M36 Tank Destroyer was designed to counter heavy German armor such as the Panther and Tiger tanks which could engage US Forces from a distance over 500 meters. Designed with the M3 90 mm gun the first M36 prototype was completed in the spring of 1943 and appearing in European combat in the fall of 1944. Like all American tank destroyers the turret is open-topped to save weight and allow for better observation. The M36 provides an excellent counter to the heavy German armor that you may encounter in the field; however it lacks protection and is weak to anti-tank weaponry. Use it to engage with the enemy from a distance and keep it protected with more durable units acting as a buffer. http://blogs.companyofheroes.com/category/unit-profiles/ In: Lobby
