And then 15 seconds later a Pershing comes followed by masses of BAR riflemen. ... The Tiger Ace's only manpower cost + resource income reduction is an easily abusable feature that we dont need to see more of, and we certainly dont need to see more of micro-less super popcap efficient uber tanks that roll over infantry and medium tanks and back off for repairs (and imagine a self healing duct tape wielding pershing crew. D: ) For the sake of USF, the faction kind of need a durable tank, and for the sake of the game, it does not need to be a Tiger/IS-2 copy paste rampage machine. In: COH2 Balance

Which is why Sabot rounds don't become standard for every army until finned dart penetrators are used in the 60s. Every one else took the lesser penetration at range but the ability to hit by selecting subcaliber rounds still encased in the the jacket aka HVAP, and Russian/Soviet APCR rounds. To actually hit something with a 17pdr or a 77 you need to fire the APCBC shot. Tests by the US army at Isingy france in 1944 with UK gunners netted a 57% 17pdr APDS hit rate at ranges from 600 yds to 300yds . . . 17pdr APDS was a white elephant. Again there is a reason that every other combatant relied on APCR/HVAP; the need to actually hit the target. British Army’s own test results, obtained by two 17pr-armed Sherman Firefly tanks in September of 1944, were no better. These results and comments were published in Warrant Office Reports WO 291/1263 and WO 165/135 dated 22 September: 400 yds APC hit 90.5% APDS hit 56.6% 600 yds APC hit 73.0% APDS hit 34.2% 800 yds APC hit 57.3% APDS hit 21.9% 1000 yds APC hit 45.3% APDS hit 14.9% 1500 yds APC hit 25.4% APDS hit 7.1% Yes, the 17 pounder sherman firefly had terrible accuracy. The 76mm had better accuracy as well as a better RoF(RoF dependent on crew space) and both were sufficient in terms of penetration. However, its nof like CoH2 would model this well if a firefly was put into the game. (Some random person: )"A 17 pounder in 1944 was worse than a 76mm in 1946". Fireflies were somewhat good until more 76mm's arrived where the power of the firefly slowly became redundant. In: COH2 Balance

All three guns are capable of penetrating the frontal armour of a Konigstiger at combat ranges, assuming the appropriate ammunition is used. Except the US didnt produce a lot of HVAP ammunition, whereas Britain had a decent amount of 17 pounder ammunition for their various 17 pounder tanks (late war) and AT guns. 17 pounder and 76mm were somewhat similar... Depends on what they were mounted on and the variation of the gun. 17 pounder shells were a bit heavier, a bit larger, and had a bit higher muzzle velocity... But that didnt mean it was necessarily better given RoF and accuracy for a 76mm... Given tanks with those cannons used APCBC ammunition. Hastily looked at forums. I'd leave British weapons to the Commonwealth - when they come around. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Panzer Schwer HQ20 Jan 2015, 05:20 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Jan 2015, 05:08 AMImSkemo I can go on about okw faction design that that lacks a non doctrinal suppression uni Rephrase that. Technically kubel (even though thats only for the first five minutes of the game), 251/17 flak halftrack, and technically vet 5 luchs and obers. But OKW stock arsenal provides many nondoctrinal concepts such as a heavy tank, heals galore + FHQ, as well as forward repair and technically resource conversion. Going Luftwaffe or Fortifications wont force you to miss out on anything important because of faction design. But if the defense is suppression, why does it also have abnormally high penetration? I actually have no stance on the Schwerer Panzer HQ and am only here for the ultimate reasoning for awesome presents for teching. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Well that stream was... sigh18 Jan 2015, 20:24 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2015, 18:13 PMvan Voort Thank you Peter Could you perhaps expand more on Panzergrenadiers please? This is a unit that consensus opinion believes somewhat underwhelming, so it was surprising to hear your opinion that they are over performing. Are they over performing as AI or AT, both? I think... If i recall correctly... Peter said they could be considered OP if they were there at the beginning of a match? Which confused me because we have sturmpioneers which are very similar, and any late game infantry/elite infantry would be very OP at the start of the match, but timing mostly offsets this since over time more counters appear for them. So im pretty sure this wasnt the explanation he had in mind... In: Lobby
Thread: Commander ability: Redistribute Resources18 Jan 2015, 20:19 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2015, 17:17 PMCasTroy There was a time during CoH2 history when PanzerGrens with Schrecks were really overperforming, but right now they are totally s***. The same blob of panzerschreck wielding panzergrenadiers is nowhere as effective as it once were before. In fact, its practically a death sentence since losing a squad is disastrous, and even worse if the enemy can recover dropped panzerschrecks. The player gives up a late game by choosing those doctrines, as well as being extremely slowed in terms of teching because of the fuel conversion. Its not that difficult to counter the weakness in this. In: COH2 Balance
