Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?3 Sep 2021, 07:25 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2021, 01:00 AMVaz There are situations were the old scott would get lucky hits and completely destroy full health axis squads Yeah, even a P4 will do this to full HP allied squads. I think situations like these (with vehicles that aren't meant to be as destructive or wiping instantly) are unintentional and just a result of the implementation of mechanics of cover and individual model pathing especially around objects. I appreciate your reminder that the Axis have many tools to deal with Scotts which are nowhere near as devastating as tier 4 brumbär/pwerfer or stuka zu fuß. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf "Encirclement Doctrine" Axis. BROKEN3 Sep 2021, 06:50 AM I mean, the ability is broken, but it requires a lot to pull off and if you're a good player you're going to spot attempts to cut you off. Worst case scenario is you retreat everything and then fight back which shouldn't be much of an issue unless you're relying on another gimmick, like soviet forward HQs in every building.

Maybe 105mm Sherman will have a barrage ability? Might fire an arcing shell like Stug E... but otherwise, no. Looks like "indirect" will be air strikes Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2021, 21:11 PMEtherealDragon No, it looks like the M3 HT can be upgraded into a Gun Carriage. Hopefully it'll be more useful than the Scott I'm 99% sure this is an anti-tank gun but I could be wrong. I don't remember what it was like in the closed pre-alpha In: COH3 Central
Thread: Pak 43 88mm is too effective against US in 2v226 Aug 2021, 14:32 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2021, 17:02 PMGachiGasm Or you can just abuse IR pathfinders like all the USF sweatlords and one tap it for 120muni. uhhhh that's definitely not a strong commander pick :/ In: COH2 Balance

Thread: best 4v4 strats as allies16 Aug 2021, 19:53 PM Well, from the perspective of an arranged team: You're going to want to be able to counter lefh 18s which means choosing a commander with a targeted, small-area bombardment. For me, that's been the IL-2 bomb drop but I think USF's infantry company time on target barrage gets the job done too. You will also want commander choices that will let you call in loiter aircraft (primarily to be used defensively to keep away from schwerer HQ aa fire) and artillery. AVRE commanders and ISU-152 commanders are good for wiping veteran infantry. In much of the early and mid game your actions and build orders are going to be map dependent. If there are key buildings that need to be held then you are going to want to get units inside them or prepare counters or ignore the garrison. Allied infantry with LMGs are great so that usually means getting elite infantry like Guards or Airborne. Vickers K halftrack drop for the Brits (or even Vikers K drops for your Soviet conscript friends). Infantry company for USF, too. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: The state of Sturmtiger16 Aug 2021, 06:57 AM I just gotta say I played against a competent player using the Sturmtiger into KT build and holy hell is it some toxic shit. I fundamentally believe units like Sturmtiger and AVRE shouldn't be in the game. Reserve those kind of big explosions for off map abilities. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Gren Rifle nade is to powerful.15 Aug 2021, 06:43 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2021, 01:04 AMPip The only issue is the bugged grenade callouts. Gotta say this is the main thing with all grenades. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A Tough Fight!15 Aug 2021, 06:02 AM Thirty-seven minute 2v2 on Crossing in the Woods. Egg and I put up a good fight considering our ELO disparity (almost 800 vs 100). Might be worth a cast? In: Replays
Thread: Concerns about Airborne weapon drops13 Aug 2021, 16:36 PM Yeah this is something that confused me when i started using Airborne commander after playing with the Osttruppen commander... I'd rather pay more MP (325 for Ostheer drop) rather than give up precious munitions. IDK what stormjager is on about because it feels cheap to have to choose a specific commander to be able to play a combined arms build like Ostheer or Soviets. Seems silly to pay 120 mp just to get two AT guns that will guzzle up munitions and then "LMG paras" for another 120 munition a piece. Seems like we're being punished or pigeon-holed into choosing a commander due to poor faction design. The issue isn't that Stormjager isn't wrong, just that the reasoning points to a more fundamental issue. In: COH2 Balance
