What it is truly sad is how many good ideas are locked in crappy commanders that nobody uses and that could make the core game much more interesting. |

More infantry spawning from buildings?? This is getting really stupid.
Seriously, there should be a fucking option to veto all maps with any kind of building... |

Independently of the absurd T70's fuel cost, I think that its Repair ability was overlooked when ATnade/Faust damage got increased.
Its really expensive at 60 ammo, and it can't even repair a fausted engine. I don't think that is how developers wanted the ability to work. |
So i think the problem lies in the heavies in general, and ISU is the flagship of this tank category, being a decent counter to its hard counters. That's the main issue here, if you take any other heavy, it is somewhat lacking in either AT or AI (well, not Tiger, but it is a 'balanced' heavy tank, it is outshined in both department by some other more specialized tank from the list). And usually in a RTS, if a unit is so strong it has no reliable counter (reliable being a whole different story than praying the RNG gods you don't get too many PAK or squad wipes), it deserves to be toned down. I'm not asking for ISU nerf, but i think it deserves it. The whole heavy tanks system need a rework too, but this is another subject: first bring ISU to the other heavies level, then balance the whole call in meta.
+1 I also think that is the root of the problem.
Heavy tanks are designed in a way that you can effectively counter them only with another heavy tank. So, if an ISU appears and you don't have a Jadgtiger or Elefant commander, you are fucked.
EDIT: The game will be like that until non-doctrinal tanks can counter doctrinal tanks. |

Although is not the case in this game, it's true that ISU wins games single-handedly.
But the same applies for most of the heavy tanks. Yes, axis tanks doesn't rape infantry as ISU does, but allied infantry cannot fight tanks neither. And ostwind or a couple of obers walking along your Tiger Ace or JagdTiger and you achieve the same effect than ISU.
What I'm saying is that the current meta revolves around throwing at your enemy your super heavy tank before he does the same, making non-doctrinal tanks most of the time a waste of mp and fuel.
I wonder if your enemy could have won if instead of the ISU he would have made just 4 or 5 T34/76s supported by infantry and the M5. Probably he'd have been destroyed the very moment your Tiger hit the field. |
Thing is if panzergrenadier stays redundant and lmgs get a nerf affecting grens,then ostheer is automatically finished as far as infantry is concerned.
LMG nerf will affect every faction, and most probably PGrens will be buffed too.
I suppose that in next patch soviet & ostheer infantry will be buffed meanwhile WFA factions infantry will be slightly toned down. |
For people that want to say "tiger and brummbar do it too", the brummbar has 2/3 of that instant kill radius and the tiger only has 1/2, and thats against larger squads. the problem is absolutely the AOE.
I don't have any complaint with ISU's AoE being nerfed at least until brummbar level. Furthermore, I'd add a toggle ability to switch between HE and AP rounds.

Mostly yes, bud Panther for its cost? Not really.. And as i stated earlier, Vet 5 is almost impossible to reach with most OKW units
Probably Panthers should be adjusted, but definitely not volks. |

I support the idea!
Custom maps need more official support. |

The solution to the ISU problem is nerfing all super heavy tanks.
They are destroying the game, making doctrines without them useless and making non-doctrinal tanks a waste of resources in most cases.
Doctrinal tanks should be just slightly better than the doctrinal ones but with an useful ability.
Btw @austerlitz, I always pick ISU if I see that my enemy has Jadgtiger or Elefant in his loadout.
You must fight fire with fire to win. If you have an unit that destroys all my tanks, then I'll make one that rapes all your infantry.
Is not cheatmode, abuse or spam as you say, is the stupid way CoH2 works.
Insulting someone for using the only unit able to fight yours is moronic. |
