Thread: Howitzer Tank Overperforming4 Jan 2015, 23:28 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2015, 19:52 PMAlexzandvar Duel Scotts right now can utterly destroy OKW blobs, USF has a fair amount of good blobbing counters. A Scott can very easily kite a shrek blob, just like a AA HT can as well. Right now all OKW has to counter that is A. Tanks that cost vastly more fuel than the unit its intended to counter. B. Hoping and praying the player fucks up and doesn't move for a few seconds so you shreks can hopefully hit it instead of not firing or shooting at passing seagulls. Puma. That is all. One Puma. Go ahead build 10 Scotts...There are more units to the OKW other than the Panther and the KT you know. Also I would LOVE to see a replay of you in a 1v1 Microing dual Scotts. Go ahead and post it up and let me know exactly how long they live. One single Pathing error (WHICH NEVER HAPPENS ON THIS GAME) and one of those two Scotts is dead. One single second of forgetting to reverse one while doing something else and one Scott is dead. Scotts really just have range on the Sherman. What they lack is HPs. A Scott only does better because it can kite them. And its not a necessary unit in that role IMHO that should be the Job of Shermans with HE rounds. Yes Shermans SHOULD counter Shreks. They dont but thats another topic. Scotts SHOULD be indirect fire. But they are pretty terrible at it. I wouldnt build one for that purpose. So as I said before they should greatly reduce the power of its direct fire ability by say Nerfing the AOE substantially and in return make its Bombard ability POWERFUL like Walking Stuka Powerful in a smaller area of course. Or hell just make the shells have low AOE but MASSIVE damage per shot to take out trucks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Howitzer Tank Overperforming4 Jan 2015, 19:37 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2015, 19:31 PMAlexzandvar I think the irritation comes from the fact OKW has very little counters to kiting Scott other than getting a panther or Jadgpanzer, which cost far more fuel than the little Scott does. Personally I find OKW to be in a awkward spot were it really only comes into it's own when supported by Ostheer. Similar to having to counter Shrek/Ober blobs for USF. There is one direct counter the Bulldozer in a single doctrine that costs a ton and you will be needing a Jackson too. So more or less the cost of a KT (without tech). I think the Scott and anything that one shots is bullshit myself. This goes for the Greyhound, ISU, Jagdtiger, Rifle Grenades etc etc. And as noted the Overlap with the Sherman HE is there. I would much prefer the Scott to be an Indirect fire unit thats good at THAT. Right now its piss poor at indirect fire but a murder machine when kiting with direct fire. Why? Why not turn it to something the USF needs and allow the Sherman to do its thing with HE and the Scott to bombard the Flaktruck into oblivion like the 120MM can. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis heavy armor needs nerf or Allied AT needs buffs1 Jan 2015, 05:58 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jan 2015, 05:18 AMMr. Someguy Generally heavier vehicles, it doesn't have the same Pen as a Panther despite being a dedicated tank destroyer with the Panther's gun, it has slightly worse than an SU-85. I tried to use it against a KV-8 and against an IS-2, it wasn't helpful. A Panther is a better choice because it doesn't crutch on Veterancy to be good, you can expect it to do it's job right out of the box. It also does a ton more DPS then the Panther. It's not bad especially if your used to the SU85 it overall will fight weaker armor and is both more mobile and more durable then said SU85. It gets EXCELLENT with vet. But hey it's a casemate. I am sure when the meta readjusts and people are forced into different stats someone will use it well on a replay somewhere then everyone will catch on and you'll see nerf JP4 threads. There is really very little wrong with the units stats it cost. Really if used to its strengths it can and will drop armor faster then a Jackson. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis heavy armor needs nerf or Allied AT needs buffs1 Jan 2015, 04:36 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jan 2015, 04:28 AMMr. Someguy Never saw a Jagdpanzer get more than Vet 1, it either misses every shot, doesn't penetrate, or is sitting in the rear echelon somewhere because it can't be trusted to be anywhere without being babysat. Also, the Firefly was a British tank, not American. Yes I know it was a British Gun on an American tank used exclusively by the British. Thank you! The point I was illustrating is if you have overlap and one is clearly better then the other or close enough in role why not use the superior one? Eluding to how the Firefly in COH1 is better then the Jackson in COH2. A better Example may have been using the SU76 instead of the SU85 but both those are pretty bad choices so there you have it... Edit: Hold on there SIR! I just noticed this part "doesn't penetrate" What is it shooting at Mecha Stalin or only IS2s? What will it NOT Penetrate other then these two?? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Howitzer Tank Overperforming1 Jan 2015, 04:02 AM Scott is a silly silly one shot whipping monster on the cheap. Like a T70 on Roids from outerspace. It is indeed the Allied Version of Vet 5 Obers. One of about 3 USF units that are out of whack on the power side rather then the Mortar Halftrack side of the coin which is much larger I am afraid... I would like to see its AOE profile changed because mess with its ROF and it will still whipe crap every shot. Mess with both and no one would build it over a Sherman except in niche cases because its really just Mediocre as a dedicated Indirect fire unit. I mean have every tried to actually bombard a truck to death with one of these? 120MM does it better... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis heavy armor needs nerf or Allied AT needs buffs1 Jan 2015, 03:48 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jan 2015, 01:47 AMMr. Someguy Because at least it can choose to spot for itself or watch it's backside, the Jagdpanzer cannot do either one. I still don't understand why the Jagdpanzer has a visual handicap with no buff. JP4 does see longer then Normal units. At Vet it becomes Perma SU85 with no movement penalty. And At Vet with a Command Panther Aura is LOL. It just cant chose to turn it off. I suppose this is because its like a Panther the size of a T70.... Biggest knock against it is its not Soviet. Those Shreks are just tooooo toooo juicy to not buy and mine its area of Operation like back in the dark days when Call ins sucked Soviet players always had to do when using the SU85. And then the Panther buff...so just why? Panther Puma Shreks? And a truly dedicated TD???? ARE YOU SICK??? lol I mean if you gave the USF a Sherman Firefly do you think ANYONE would ever build a Jackson again? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis heavy armor needs nerf or Allied AT needs buffs30 Dec 2014, 15:19 PM AM you forgot the free 40 fuel the "fuel starved" faction gets. And let's us all not forget that the fuel penalty doesn't apply to the base sector. Overall with 40 free fuel and the no base sector fuel penalty OKW really doesn't suffer a penalty on fuel at all in 1v1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis heavy armor needs nerf or Allied AT needs buffs25 Dec 2014, 13:18 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2014, 13:02 PMBrutusHR What is funny about that? Jpz4 is designed to ambush and destroy enemy tank, When the pjz4 aim at you, he will be harder to hit than m3 or t70, height is only(!!) 1.85 m, it is wider and longer than m3 and t70, still worth to compensate on that if u can reduce height of a tank that is going to ambush enemy tanks. Realism vs Balance. A Jackson should be an upgrade for an M10. So I would say 80 Fuel plus 100 Muni would be fair. Since almost all Jacksons were just turrets shipped to Europe and mounted on an M10. Having Brit Arty emplacements were realistic too. No smoke and the ability to erase squads. US actually were the leaders in Artillery at the time. Realism isnt fun... In: COH2 Balance

You make a point to notate all attributes but cleverly seem to omit that The T-70 has a scatter angle of 7.5, compared to the luchs at 4. If your argument is that the luchs is fine compared to the T-70 (even though it does less damage, has less of a chance to hit a target, has a smaller health pool, and cost more) I don't think the attributes are going to exactly back up your point. Also, I am unsure, but does calculated dps not already take into account accuracy (scatter) modifiers?? Yes scatter is included in the DPS value. So now take the T70 DPS value and double it with squads with more than one model. The performance of his the luchs in the AI department is fine. It is asymmetrically balanced vs the T70. The cost and HPs are not. The 20mm is a machine gun and the 45mm is a grenade launcher. Simple. More units should work like this. In: COH2 Balance
