Thread: KV-24 Aug 2015, 20:27 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2015, 19:46 PMAlexzandvar -Put KV2 at 1280 health (KT level health) -No more lockdown (because nah fuck that) -300 frontal armor (same as Tiger I) -Just increased base ROF There now you have a BREAKTHROUGH tank which is what it's supposed to be; slow, high damage, but not hard to penetrate. That's more reasonable but still... Why would you take away something special for this tank? Barrage mode is really fun thing and reason to use it over IS2 or ISU. Still, as a breakthrough tank, it's not that good, since shells are missing very, very often. Put it in front of any tank, don't move and I belive arond 50% shells will hit ground in front of tank. Add moving penalty and... Well, not good tank to break through. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: JP4's cloak of invisibility 4 Aug 2015, 20:24 PM This is turly insane. Almost dead JPIV, flanked with 3 T34/76 but suddenly, in front of 3 tanks it dissapears so tanks are swithich to KT. Plan - flank, 3 shots in the ass, run away with loss of 1. Effect - flank, JP dissapearing and appearing all the time, T34s cannot target it, 2 lost, JP survives This is truly broken. How tank can become invisible in the middle of battle... Still, very good game to watch. Fight till last VPs! ML20+Airborne vs Elephant+KT In: Replays
Thread: KV-24 Aug 2015, 17:31 PM With the recent SU changes, this doctrine is doing completly opposite thing and it disallows you to make more tanks, especially T34/76. Floating fuel, without any MP to make tanks. Relic, this doctrine needs small adjustment. Still waiting for Alex to give 2 good reasons to choose KV2 over IS2/ISU with his changes In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: KV-24 Aug 2015, 14:10 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2015, 13:56 PMElTirador Luftwaffe supply drains all your manpower if you spam it ans CASconverter drains all your fuel leaving you without that "so needed" tanks, about Lend lease, i know that ammo isnt so popular, but the plane is easy to kill, all of them have something. About KV-2, its a really powerfull whipping machine, the problem is that it needs LoS, it would be great with guards, IMO it's a great unit in the wrong comander, It would be k on NKVD tactics, but thats just a theory The point is that Luftwaffe does not drain your MP. It's up to you to decide if you want sacrafice 200 MP. From 2v2 perspective I can say that I often have around 600MP so I can get extra ammo without any penalties. Just yesterday I had really intensive 2v2 and I was able to spend over 1000MP in exchange for ammo. But it was up to me when to do it. CAS is same thing. It's up to when you want to convert. Same thing for Lend-Lease of OKW conversion. With KV-2 doctrine, it's different, nothing is up to you which is huge penalty. As for the rest, you are right KV-2 is not that bad, but when you consider 14CP, costs and only 800HP, well... It does not look very good. Still, ISU is better at wiping and comes with better doctrines. But still, over 11secs reload and the trajectory of the shell puts it way behind ISU in terms of wiping. Barrage mode seems to be an answer but with Ostheer off maps, and OKW Jadgtiger and Sturmtiger, it's like shooting your own leg. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: KV-24 Aug 2015, 13:25 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2015, 13:18 PMAlexzandvar How is giving it a not shit ROF outside of lockdown a nerd? And specialized shells could allow for buffs to anti armor performance And for what reason I would get it over ISU or IS2 with your changes? vs IS2: Worse armor Switching shells Less HP Similar cost Much worse doctrine vs ISU: Shorter range Less HP Little worse AoE profile Much worse doctrine Waiting for at least 2 good reasons to pick KV2 with your changes.

Thread: KV-24 Aug 2015, 13:00 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2015, 12:35 PMchipwreckt Ive seen some top players like Jove beat other top players with this doc. also using KV2. In maps like Einhoven if you set it up in middle it wipes everything. I belive you are speaking about 1v1. In that case, I can agree but 2v2 is different story. @Alex,you just nerfed unit which is already not good. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: KV-24 Aug 2015, 12:33 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2015, 12:23 PMRobbie_Rotten It is a horrible tank in a now horrible doctrine. The only advantage of windustry, the 6 minute t70, is now basically stock with the 7-7.5 minute t70/m5. And why a KV2 when the quad is way more effective at scaring off infantry. It is like a worse call in broombear. And that's why I would love to see KV-2 in 1 or 2 more doctrines. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: KV-24 Aug 2015, 11:50 AM Recently I tried to use KV-2 but 14CP for this tank is definetly too much. It has only 800HP Terrible long reload, over 11secs! It costs (almost) same amount of resources like Tiger or IS (which are superior and come earlier). It comes at 14CPs which I find too high for this unit (should be 13 like Tiger or IS) Barrage mode is like invitation for Sturmtiger, Jadgtiger with pircing shells, CAS, Dive bomb or any other off map. Comes with doctrine which often punishes you (constant MP->Fuel) in contrast to Luftwaffe/CAS/Lend-Lease which don't punish you at all. The only heavy tank which does not receive -% relod with veterancy. I'd suggest to move it to 13CPs, increase fuel cost to 260 while decreasing MP to 500 (or fix this constant MP->Fuel Relic and make it like Luftwaffe/OKW Rep Station/Lend-Lease drops).

Thread: Obersoldaten UP4 Aug 2015, 06:31 AM I don't find them UP. Whenever I pick them it's damn easy to get 30-80kills. Shocks/Guards are nowhere close to such ease with killing infantry. Once vet 2/3 they are unstoppable. Old meta of Volks and then double Obers killing everything was truly broken. We dont want to see that again. If game is in my favour and I don't need extra push with call-in infantry, I always go for Obers. I cannot remember single game with Shocks/Guards/Rifles with 90kills, but I remember at few where Obers got over 80 kills. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M26 Pershing/Calliope Debate4 Aug 2015, 06:18 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2015, 01:47 AMThe Big Red 1 true but its was classified as a heavy tank up until korea but nevertheless it will probably be like as you said; an allied panther No. It was renamed to medium in 46', not till Korea. So in the end you have tanks designed as a medium, based on medium prototype, which was renamed to heavy to increase morale, and then in 46' renamed again to medium. In: Lobby
