Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies30 May 2014, 06:56 AM So... that said, after the global upgrade, i can spend some munitions to upgrade my engis, riflemen, and paratroopers with bazookas. I know that the bazookas are weaker than panzerschrecks ofc, but do they have better AI? In vCoH, they actually had a blast radius and blew infantry up. Also, on shermans, i see from the pictures that you can have both 75 and 76 mm shermans on the field. Are they two seperate units, or is it a global upgrade/personal upgrade? In: Lobby

As far as it's role it is a bit like the 221, but it has a bunch of stuff that lets it be useful in a variety of situations. Rather flexible, and good for assault. Something interesting - all vehicles have manpower upkeep, right? When an American tank crew leaves its tank, does the overall manpower upkeep change to that of the squad? In other words, if i am starved for manpower and i have a small company of tanks, can i simply abandon all the vehicles for a while to get a small boost in manpower income? Having control over abandoning vehicles is a powerful tool. Got ahead of myself there, it will be a feature i will find out over time. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies30 May 2014, 05:50 AM M20 - how does it function? Its on the list, and is lightly armed. What role does it fit? In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies30 May 2014, 05:34 AM Jump back to quoted post30 May 2014, 05:26 AMMoerserKarL Sturmtiger is non doctrinal and jagdtiger and KT are doctrinal units. But hey the elefant was a t4 unit and non doctrinal as well on beta so lets see.... Unlike the elefant, the sturmtiger is much more counterable and is an even larger burden as it fires very occasionaly. Also, is there a limit on how many sturmtigers you can field? In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies30 May 2014, 05:26 AM But... when you do reinforce them, they arent as expensive as hell to reinforce like vCoH, right? Rather cheaper reinforcing than being able to reinforce anywhere. Also, the m20. It only has a machine gunner, so does it act as an APC? In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies30 May 2014, 05:00 AM Americans are EXTREMELY versatile. I hope it stays that way long enough for me to play it. What are the restrictions on paratroopers, can i just drop them anywhere, on nuetral and enemy territory as well? Say i lost a skirmish and the last thing i see is a sturmtiger hiding in the corner - can i simply just drop paratroopers on them and steal it snap like that? Paratroopers will be the bane of both german factions then. Or lets say a jagdtiger is stopping for repairs and only needs one shot to be destroyed. Cant i simply paradrop an AT gun behind it and simply beat it the easy way? I am going to have a lot of fun abusing Americans... OKW sounds like the soviets can easily crush them. Soviet tier 2 AT guns will dominate their mobile trucks. In: Lobby
Thread: StugE needs a slight tone down30 May 2014, 04:33 AM Anything less and it is useless once more. Any AT easily kills it, and it is super handicapped with a broken engine. Its a stug with even less AT and costs only a tad cheaper. Its fine, unless you want people arguing about the effectiveness of soviet AI tanks... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies30 May 2014, 04:20 AM Jump back to quoted post30 May 2014, 04:14 AMMr. Someguy I heard American tank crews can exit and enter their tanks at will, but I haven't read that in any of the articles. Is it true? What purpose does that serve? (File this question under "Sherman" so it's NDA safe!) I did find this in the articles, and the purpose is that the tank crews can cap, but i wonder if i can just give tanks to my ally so he has an army of shermans, and i am not resource starved as a result and can spam infantry...

Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies30 May 2014, 03:24 AM How do riflemen upgrades work? Do they switch out weapons at the base, are they global upgrades that can be grabbed anytime at the base? In: Lobby
