Profile of Tomakaze

I keep seeing logistics being brought up. It is definitely key to why Germany would NEVER have won the war. Operations management which goes in tandem with logistics but includes the cultural/industrial capacities of the combatants can help color the bleak picture that was Germany's fate.

I agree with what AvNY is trying to tell some of these wehraboos (I went through as similar phase with the American Civil War). The numbers for victory simply do not add up for Germany no matter how you fudge it. Even if we look away from data and analyze the skill of German generals, they simply were not some super superior breed of leaders that other countries lacked. Rommel and Guderian do not live up to the mythology built around them.

You can dream of scenarios where Germany might see more success, but that is all it is and ever will be: a dream. Hey, but go ahead, tell us how ignoring fundamental tenants of nazi ideology would help them win the war. Tell me how Hitler fucked it. Tell me how they should have invaded the USSR earlier. Tell me how Rommel should have won. Tell me how Germany should have actually tried something called counter-intelligence and preserving the secret of the Enigma code. Tell me the weather was bad. Maybe the war lasts a little longer, but it will never add up.

Agreed. No use of getting a KT now since they didn't buff its frontal armor/side armor. Slow turret will make it so easy for 76, 85, Cromwell, etc spam to own it now. No shrek to protect it either unless you turtle a place with toy rockets around it. 2 panthers or 3 JPIV are a better choice.

What are you talking about?

• Side armor doesn't exist in the game, but you knew that.
  
• SHould the medium tanks be punished from an inability to even pen the rear armor when attacking a flank?
  
• The pen values of the mediums were left unchanged, so how do they affect the front armor any differently? If those values are changed, then a whole can of worms regarding balance is opened.
  
  

Maybe the viability of t-34s will require players to build a medium tank or td in response instead of waiting for a KT/Tiger. In that sense, the use of heavies may see a decline. Otherwise, straight up, I don't see how the relationship changes that much If a player pulls off a successful flank, they should be rewarded, not see their tanks unable to pen even the REAR armor of the heavy tank. Then again, we should try playing miragefla's mod or wait for the preview balance mod to decide.

Despite all the changes in the proposed patch, this one may be one of the most significant. Ppl may claim to love or hate it, but nobody really knows the impact it will have on the game. I'm not sure claiming that this will put importance on building placement is a strong argument. In the 3s and 4s, if you want to help teammates, the current system helped out on maps with large base areas like Steppes and City 17.

"Risky" building placement never seemed like an issue. There are hardly any maps where your base buildings are regularly being harassed or even destroyed especially beyond 1v1s. OP brings up a good point, but why blame competitive 1v1 players? It's like you are trying to preemptively invalidate any argument based along those lines while trying to give your own opinion some moral high ground. If anything, this change seems like a desire more befitting of the Old Guard who love CoH1 the most in their heart of hearts.

Tomakaze vs VindicareX. Post April 20th patch. This was a really good game. Usually when I play high level games, somehow I embarrass myself, but at least this time I gave it a good fight or at least an entertaining one.

Man, I wish this world was perfect.
