Thread: ISU-15226 Apr 2014, 06:17 AM It hardcounters absolutely everything except elefant... what other unit has only one weakness? It one shots squads as well as it has done before, and wasn't fixed like the IS-2. Everyone is going to rage about it because a supported one cant be moved, and it is uber cost efficient. At least elefant cannot wreck infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shermans are broke?25 Apr 2014, 20:20 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2014, 20:15 PMrwiggom I know shermans are "expensive" but they are now the 2nd strongest tank after tiger ace. What do you experts think? I think that the armor penetration makes it so powerful, I saw it go head to head with an panther and take it out. I saw another one take out 3 p 4s Is this payback for elite troops doctrine, now soviets have a auto win commander? Sherman beats panther? Replay, please. Sherman cannot survive the panther's punishment, unless Ost was looking at a butterfly the entire time. ONE by itself take out three PzIV's? You expect people to believe that? PzIV fights pretty well against it. In: Lobby
Thread: Thread for noting stealth changes in recent patch (04/24)25 Apr 2014, 19:21 PM Ok, who complained even more about the nerfed assault grenadiers? I liked them, because they were counterable by maxims and m3, and conscripts fair a little better against them. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: April 24th Patch Notes Discussion 25 Apr 2014, 07:41 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2014, 07:02 AM__deleted__ Aham. Thanks. I'm verry curious to test the shermann. Indeed, the soviet doc looks better. I played a little last evening (couldn't abstain) and I have to say I like what they did with vehicles. I like the new T34/76 and I like how they change.the panther - feels like much better control and speed. About balance, it's to early to say something but they sure get rid of OP pios. Grenadiers feels a little soft though. Soviet tanks now feel like tanks instead of guns shooting rubber shells with tin protecting it. T34 performs like a medium, but is still weaker than the average german armor. The panther feels right as it is a deadly somewhat long range tank. Seeing it attack your tanks at the corner of your vision forces you to pull back. It is pretty serious AT, and its mobility is fair. The new fuel price looks very questionable... but if you know what you are doing, then it will pay for itself. It used to be an all in one tank, but now it has a more defined role as an AT hunter from afar that can easily relocate. No soviet medium can fight against a well managed panther, and the ZiS and the su-85 are the only stock units that usually scratch it. Still gotta watch out for those AT grenades. I always get annoyed at miracle fausts, but i usually remind myself that AT nades are also the bane of german vehicles. Pios are balanced, at least that is what i think. They are still good assault troops when catching conscripts and the likes off guard, usually when they go head to head in a short amount of time, or when soviets are suppressed, and the pioneers can eat them when they are defenceless. Conscripts vs pioneers at short range is now considerably fair. Pioneers have damage potential where they did not have before, but their mp40s can only help them so much. No more pio spam. CE are dirt cheap, so no more complaining about cost effectiveness compared to pioneers. Grenadiers also feel smushy to me. As well as panzergrenadiers, as now they have the same health and armor. Grenadiers do fight well at long range still, but the effective range of conscript rifles has been increased, so they now stand a chance. LMG grenadiers are still very good, but balanced. Players have to remind themselves for which range they should keep their grenadiers at. I dont think panzergrenadiers needed an armor decrease... German T3 feels a bit weird. Stugs are cheaper, and are now, indeed, assault guns. They still can combat tanks, and combat infantry better. However, they arent really meant to hold out long against damage. They need support, actually, they need to be supporting SOMETHING. Ostwind... eh... Good AI, but armor... Panzer IV feels like the only real tank in T3. It actually is the only real tank there. Most things about it is good, except it has huge pointless scatter. If it was slighlty less, than many complaints about it will be dropped. Tier 4 amazingly smoothly fills in any holes of the German army, providing support when needed. Obviously, all i want to do is play Soviets these early days, but i need to keep an eye on the German faction. They need some glue patched in places that are a bit too iffy. Soviets are fine, just Germans need fine tuning so the more expensive Germans indeed have better weapons. Some places feel... lacking. That and i may need to adjust to new Germans, but i think it is agreeable that small fixes are in order. Blitz is weird... IS-2 feels VERY weird. It is practically the old german panther, except its gun destroys squads and is a little bit innacurrate. It combats tanks VERY well. (T3 has very little chance against it) but its combat against a panther is balanced. But its higher RoF feels just too weird... That is my honest deduction of the patch. Soviets are amazing, germans need some monitoring to ensure that they are working properly. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: April 24th Patch Notes Discussion 25 Apr 2014, 06:39 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2014, 05:59 AM__deleted__ Everybody, any thoughts about the 2 new doctrines? Didn't try them yet. The lend lease is really useful, but you have to go tier 2 to get yourself infantry AT. It is wise to go tier 4 and build an su-85, but you will not have AT before then if you go tier 1, unless you invest in cons with AT grenades to make use of conscript repair. The fuel for munitions is more useful than one thinks, as you will find yourself with a big pile of munitions that can only be used on topgunners and quadmount. The plane dies 4/5 times, which isnt that bad. Call in half track is useful, and very affordable. It bypasses tier 3, and you also get guards with a few ppsh's, a good ai infantry squad with their infamous wiping grenade. Conscript repair is convenient... the dshk is there when you want an mg at an exact moment. It is better than nothing. Ther shermans are impressive, but not too cheap. 380 mp and 135 fuel. Not too spammable. However, they are really speedy. Their armor and health is similar to the t34, and as people say, it is squishy. It doesnt soak up too much damage. It has great ai with top gunner, and there is one distinct feature about it... the time between shots is insane. Super fast reloads. It has reliable pen and damage, and at vet 3, no other medium tank can top it. (Regardless of what people say about the pzIV, i have taken note it still does very well in medium tank battles. It has great armor and AT, and it still has some AI.) To sum it up, it is a unique commander with great use. I dont think the german commander is that great imo. You can buy fast capping for a short period of time for a small price. Panzer technician is as useful as it always have been. The 500 mp ostruppen is meh. You have a chance of spawning ostruppen with lmg's (and vet, which the title hints, but i havent seen it yet). I guess it is instant capping and cannon fodder at your disposal, as their capping speed is now 1, thankfully. Unfortunately, when i used it, it spawned two squads of regular ostruppen, so i was disappointed. I guess its just something new. The puma... is good in the right hands. However, i think it comes too late, and costs a bit much. It is not immune to small arms, the same as it was in vCoH. It has some AI, but isnt the best. Infantry with any AT weaponry (like PTRS, AP rounds, AT grenades ) will shred it up. It is good at destroying light vehicles, and two will destroy a t34 real fast. It has good AT, but more importantly, it does big damage to vehicles. Once real AT weaponry and heavier tanks roll in, it becomes obsolete. Might as well have gotten a PZIV. Command tank is as useful as it always has been. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 45 and 37 kills with 2 Stug III E in last game25 Apr 2014, 00:43 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2014, 00:32 AMVonMecha Holy Mother F%$#@@er this thing is the boss now!!! Doesn't melt to a few at shots either. I dont know if range was buffed but it seems like it has a greater stand off distance. Gotta test this out on my end. Happy to hear some compliments about the Stug III E instead of "Its still crap". In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: April 24th Patch Notes Discussion 24 Apr 2014, 23:57 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2014, 23:10 PMSpeculator http://coh2-stats.herokuapp.com/vehicles/sherman_soviet Less armor than a T34 at 150 compared to 160. Same speed as a T34, but faster acceleration. Costs more than a P4. Its a damage dealer that's squishy. Combined arms with paks are good against them. Agreed. It is also not that cheap (135 fuel, 380 manpower compared to German T3 and Soviet T3 and T4). Paks with any form of armor next to it takes down the sherman. Fausting it at any point makes it easier. Every time i lost a sherman, its death was started by a panzerfaust. Nerfing it would make it a t34... it is supposed to be a little different than the t34. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: "One-shot-wipe-potential"24 Apr 2014, 07:01 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2014, 06:49 AMbämbabäm From the recent patch notes: "AOE Profiles Very similar to the changes made to grenade AOE profiles. Long and mid-range AOE no longer has a chance to miss its target, the weapon profile damage has been averaged out to compensate. Slight adjustments to AOE radius or distance values were made on a number of vehicles to better align them with their intended performance." Does this mean even more/less one shot wipes or does this probably have no effect? From what i understand, it seems to be that vehicles that cause huge wipes at close range also do the same wiping power at long range. IS-2 scatter over longer ranges has been increased some, if that is the result of this change, if that scatter even chnages anything. We will see in a few hours. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: "One-shot-wipe-potential"24 Apr 2014, 05:53 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2014, 05:39 AMbämbabäm Yes, but it does not happen from one instant to the other and the high number of "events" makes this quite predictable, and due to the short range you can avoid it just like the satchel of the penals that can also one-shot your squad but can be dodged with attention and/or micro. A single random 120mm, KV-2 etc. shell (even an unlucky single Katyusha rocket) can take out your squad in case the RNG is against you, no matter how much you pay attention or what you do. It is mainly because infantry models tend to be inside each other when doing normal things like retreating, shooting, hiding in cover, etc. Giving infantry a more profound set distance to be spaced would fix some of that. I was healing my Tiger, and one katyusha rocket killed all four models of my pioneer squad because all 4 of them decided to repair in a space the size of two models standing shoulder to shoulder. Most one shot kills are made because of too close spacing of a squad. I target those squads over anything anything else , and there is nothing that the player can do about it. I understand that your main problem is squads being one shotted without the player being able to do anything about it. I am assuming excluding mines. In: COH2 Balance
