Thread: The imbalance between Allied and Axis Infantry Anti-tank 20 Nov 2014, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2014, 17:15 PMkamk +1 There should be a skill gap in using a lot of Shrecks, as in using LOS and flanking, not just blob & a-move. It's often too effective on long range, and even with a damn blob there's rarely enough casulties when engaging like this. Can't agree with the Zook part from JH at all though. Giving the strongest early game infantry the option to also have the strongest AT, that's just stupid. There's also the not so slight difference between AI capabilities and squad size - between fighting a P4 against a T0 5 men squad (which should have some vet also), or a Sherman & HE versus a 4 men squad of pricy T1s. Well the Alternative is either: Nerf Shreks Buff Allied Armor Values Nerf Axis Armor Values Zooks arent worth it and really should be. I doubt that Relic will make them useful in their current state by allowing them to be shouldered like the OKW mine sweepers. Right now you put your self to the AI of an unupgraded Gren without Rnades or a reliable Snare and are still more expensive. Why would you want to do that to your Riflemen? Rifles are strong Early but the weakest at Vet 2 (IMHO) due to their Ass Backwards Vet Bonuses. And have the weakest vet bonuses as well. They dont perform as well as one would expect a unit that costs 50 more MP and have to pay for all their upgrades. I like the idea of COH1 style handheld AT as well. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: The imbalance between Allied and Axis Infantry Anti-tank 20 Nov 2014, 16:39 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2014, 14:59 PMMarcoRossolini Snip Agree 100%. And I too would like to see the Zook buffed to Shrek levels. Less damage per shot higher ROF same DPS same Pen realistic or not its still fighting heavier armor. But the squad still melts under the AI/AT A move blob. I would also like to see all LMGs nerfed across the board and yes even the USF ones. They are just plain stupidly powerful on the defense. Its just plain insane. They are far far far too easy to use. I think these changes would put USF in a good spot and all elite infantry. You may see Thompson Paras and STG44 Obers more if the LMGs werent so obviously OP. In: COH2 Balance

Afghanistan. And Old enough.... I served at IJC in KAIA where I worked all over Kabul like Camp Phoenix and Bala Hissar and a bunch of the other little outlying FOBs there, at KAF near "Shit Lake", Herat, alot of time at Shindand and Fire Base Thomas.

Assuming that someone won the war because it was better than his opponent it's just childish. You probably have like 18 years at most and you built your history knowllege on 2 penny sites like the one you quoted instead reading history books, studying technical features of allied and Axis tanks, or waching some serious documentary films on Discovery based on FACTS, statistics and historical documentation; 2. Every sensible and unbiased man in this world knows that Allied won the war because they had the superior manpower and resources, being able to flood any front with 10 times more men and equipment. 3. Everybody, including me, are happy that they did so and appreciate the sacrifice of so many Allied soldiers, because of that we are living in a free world (at least a good part of it). But even so, our eyes must stay open and our judgement must not be altered by stupid stereotypes issued from Clint Eastwoold's movies where one american officer would kill 50 germans soldiers with his thumb. Wehrmacht was a splendid army, excellent trained and equiped, best army of its time. UNFORTUNATELLY in THE MOST WRONG HANDS, but this does not mean we cannot admire its tactics and equipment and recognize its superiority. Even the uniforms were looking verry good (how could they look bad, while designed by one of the most famous italian cloths designer which is famous even today?!) To @Burts: I reccomend to you the Discovery documentary movie "Tanks!". There is a part of the info and there you will have the comparison between the number of Allied and Axis tanks destroyed on every front, together with some technical facts. You will be surprised of what you will find out. Knowing the fact that all these documentary films are done by former "Allied" we can't suspect them of speaking in Axis' favor, on the contrary. So make your judgement. First of all let me start by saying you know nothing John Snow... 18 years? Fuck I wish. I was 18 before you were born most likely. And unlike you I am a Vet and I have served in a War Zone rather than just read about what it was like. I have read plenty of books but they are copy written you fool. Want me to Scan them for you? Its customary to post an internet source on the internet. Now please stop derailing this thread. I can go on and on and on and beat you down with a wall of text and hyperbole just as well. But thats not on this threads topic. If you want to continue to talk crap feel free to take it to PM. In: COH2 Balance

Do you think they didn't prefer to have better tanks in order to keep pace with german armor? Don't you think that this did matter for them? Do you think the US generals and leaders enjoyed seeing burned boddies emerging from twisted carcases of their tanks? Of course they didn't. But german technology was superior. And they just couldn't keep pace with it. So the only way to beat it was through numbers. The best tactics. Same in the case of soviets. SIGH...you are indoctrinated I am afraid in the Myth of the Ubermensch. They had some things better some things worse. But they did have a hard on for big guns due to Hitler compensating. Of course we could get into Universal Parts and how great that was and how our tanks had a higher Up-Time as a result since it made logistics so easy. And we can also put this out there for your enjoyment: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2013/09/05/common-myths-about-wwii/ At your silly response about veterans of course they would have preferred better tanks but it wasn't up to them. US Industry is what won us the war. We didnt require over engineering. And the fact that the US actually killed more German tanks then Germans killed American tanks is quite funny... And stop with the Melodrama...its silly. Back on Topic: I hope they do Add the Rangers like I said before. I think 400MP would be a fair cost as long as they performed well. In: COH2 Balance

Or attacking a Tiger with 10 shermanns/t34s in order to be able to make it a scratch would be meh. Or whiping out an entire squad with an mg42 in 3 secs would be absolutly a no go. Or.... The Average was 3 to 1 AT wasn't the Sherman's job. Good thing the U.S. Industry could produce soooo much it really wouldn't have mattered. Liberty Ships are a perfect example. Sure Uboats GO CRAZY we got more then your country can even produce torpedoes. If that's not going to be modeled then not should the myth of the übermensch In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The imbalance between Allied and Axis Infantry Anti-tank 19 Nov 2014, 02:12 AM Since it cannot be modeled with American air power or soviet industry German units one for one should not be better. It should be asymmetrical to mean equal but different. If the German side gets stronger AT then USF should have better AI for example. I.e Rifemen to Ober level. But that wouldn't be fun. Right now OKW has everything just plain better then USF. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF needs this badly18 Nov 2014, 03:49 AM Your right. Non stop air strikes would be boring. Also having 10 fuel Sherman's would get old. So just make USF units stronger so they are asymmetric which is to mean as good but different not outright inferior. They simply cannot model allied logistical or numerical advantages and make it interesting. Rangers would be a good start if cost balanced. In: COH2 Balance
