Thread: Pershing ? 5 Jul 2015, 23:09 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2015, 22:27 PMMr. Someguy Because that's what they do, they have an ability to instantly repair critical damage for low cost. You can do it in 3 seconds, 1 second to exit, 1 second to click repair, 1 second to enter. Because any vehicle crew can still insta-repair critical damage. At least Assault Engineers are expensive, and Rear Echelon combat ineffective. Say the Pershing gets engine damage, pull it back, have the Jackson crew jump out and start repairing. If they get attacked, the Jackson crew hops back in their vehicle while the Pershing returns fire. Crews were not designed to work with Heavy Tanks. Well, I dont see anything wrond with other crews jumping out. It's just a way to get repairs with same speed as OKW. In: Lobby
Thread: Pershing ? 5 Jul 2015, 22:22 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2015, 22:06 PMMr. Someguy Superglue is a key part of having a crew though? Pop-out, fix engine, pop-in, all in 3-4 seconds. Imagine Pershings doing this constantly, you can never crit a Pershing because the second you take eyes off it, the crit is gone. And for the record, I don't like Blitz-retreat or Superglue. Blitz should not be allowed to activate in Combat, and Superglue should take at least 10 seconds. Again, why you consider crew as super glue? For me it's just extra rapirs squad in safe sector. And we can all agree that Pershing should not let crew get out so why you bring this? In: Lobby

Who is fine with super glue here? It was not even mentioned. Just crew, not super glue - I see big differnece here. In: Lobby
Thread: Pershing ? 5 Jul 2015, 08:42 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2015, 08:35 AMMr. Someguy The point is to design a doctrine that won't become the de-facto mandatory USF doctrine. Having a Pershing alone makes the doctrine more attractive than it's counterparts to most players. If it's too useful, you'll see Pershings every game. Talk about stale metagames... Well, I remember when people were saying that we will see E8 every single game, but we don't It will be far away from mandatory. No elite infantry. No Rifles upgrades No P47 No off map Doctrine you have posted is really, really bad. I mean, disabling crew without Pershing on field, it's like lowering income to 85% with elite troops and if Tiger Ace hits the field, to 25%. We see CAS everygame. You know why I like OKW? because no matter which doctrine they pick up, there is always King Tiger, so they are not bounded to doctrine. I would like to try Pershing as unlockable after all officers. And like above, right now it's Airborne/Infantry/Rifle. Would be great to get new doctrine which is not pudding like Recon or the one with WC51. In: Lobby
Thread: Pershing ? 5 Jul 2015, 08:19 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2015, 04:42 AMMr. Someguy But that combination is controlled by 2 separate players and only available in team games, not the same player. USF was designed with Crews and M36's because they had no Heavy Tank. In my opinion, to add a Heavy Tank, they would need to disable those features which made up for their lack of one. Also, the M36 was originally doctrinal, which meant it wasn't planned to be used with any potential Heavy Tanks in the first place. 1. IS2+SU85 and King Tiger+JPIV are controlled by 1 player and I belive they are superior to Pershing+Jackson. PzWefer was in T3 but for long long time we have it in T4. Point is, if something was planned it does not mean that it will be implemented. OKW was designed with resources penalty. But in exchange, they have vet 5, resoursec conversion, non-doc King Tiger and forward bases able to hold sector by itself, not to mention free repairs, free healing, cheap tech, cheap upgrades etc. USF were designed without heavy tank. In exchange they have tanks' crews. I belive OKW's advatanges are way greater than crew, which is used only to repairs tanks - what RE could do easily because of low HP. Tho I cannot see how crew can be considered as a something extra because there is no heavy. OKW has penalty but you can lock down sector or transfer resources to nullify it somehow. How USF is supposed to nullify lack of heavy? And the most important thing, USF do nt have anything expcet Jackson to inflict damage in late game. I sad that few pages ago. All factions have plenty units with penetration 200+ yet USF have only M36. __ About doctrine you have posted, well you assume that at some point player will always call for Pershing which is wrong assumption. In the end you might avoid Pershing but you still cannot use M36 or crew. It would way more better if this "battle ready" was part of M26 call in so the crews are disabled only when M26 hits the field, not before (tho I still think they should not). So if I did not use Pershing, this doctrine would not provide me any advatange. In: Lobby

Thread: Pershing ? 4 Jul 2015, 10:41 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2015, 10:10 AMAlexzandvar Probably so you can't just pull your pershing back, pop the crews of your tanks out and then repair it insanely fast (don't forget insta crit repair) and send it back out. Idk about disabling M36, I guess it's so couldn't have literally the best of everything since Tiger + Panthers is normally impossible to pull off due to the T4 costing an arm and a leg for Ostheer. Does it mean OKW T2 cannot have free repairs? And if Sherman's crew jump out you can use it your advantage - wiping them ith stuka for example. King Tiger + Jadgpanzer Tiger + Stugs Elephant + Pz4 IS2+SU85 But from 2b2 point of view, Pershing+Jackson combo looks pitiful when comapre to King Tiger+Elephant; King Tiger + Jadgtiger; Tiger + Elephant Also since Jackson is pure AT and Pershing should be more like Panther, you can probably just ignore them since they won't do a pudding to your infantry. Just few schrecks or raketen/pak40 to scare them. Keep in mind that if someone goes for Pershing+Jackson, there won't be any AI units. So you can just roll over USF with infantry. In: Lobby
Thread: Pershing ? 4 Jul 2015, 09:56 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2015, 09:42 AMMr. Someguy If there's a Pershing Doctrine, I hope they have it disable Vehicle Crews and M36's. Breakthrough Armour Company: Battle Ready (crews may not exit their vehicles for any reason) Assault Engineers (make up for disabled crews) Aerial Recon (P-47 recon plane lingers over an area) M10 Wolverine (make up for disabled M36) T26E3 Heavy Tank (the keystone of the commander) Why would you disable M36? Pershing shares same gun with Jackson, so I belive it should be more like Panther than IS2/Tiger is terms of AI, so nothing easier than killing it with infantry, not tanks. What's more, we already have superior combination - IS2 + Jackson (not to mention superior combination from Axis) I also cannot see what's wrong with crew getting out. I mean, Pershing as a heavy shouldnt be able to that, but why Shermans' crews cannot? In: Lobby
