Thread: doctrinal units should21 Mar 2015, 18:39 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2015, 18:29 PMAlexzandvar The KT doesn't normally ever come out at 17 minutes because it implies your converting to fuel AND the Ostheer player has wasted all his MP on fuel caches. Really it's a non issue, making call in's dependent on tiers has been the go to answer to fixing the call in meta for a while now, the KT is just a good example of how it can be done while remaining balanced. otoh your insistence that 17 minute KT's are viable because it means 17 minutes with no armor support AND no Ostheer support/teching is somewhat suspect. Try rush KT in 4v4 with 1-2 cache and muni-fuel after getting 2 schrecks. KT will arrive at 17min if you have good team so you wont be pushed back very hard. In: Lobby
Thread: The B4 and Commander roulette21 Mar 2015, 18:37 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2015, 18:25 PMAlexzandvar Well, first off the strength of the Pak43 is it can shoot through shot blockers to balance the fact it has a very fragile crew. Then on top of that small maps allow artillery to reach and kill it very easily. Large open maps don't work well with it because it's exposed and it can't cover enough area of the map, and it's slow turning speed means it's the most effective when it's covering a area with lanes and pathing blockers, not open fields. The Pak43 excels were the Jadgtiger and Elefant don't, specifically Urban maps and or maps with lots of shotblockers and tight corners. Somehow I find Pak43 amazing on wide/open map like Minsk Pocket. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: doctrinal units should21 Mar 2015, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2015, 17:30 PMAlexzandvar So? This would make it better for Allies and Axis. I fail to see what your point is, especially considering to rush a KT that fast your Ostheer player has to no build any troops and be spamming fuel drops around the clock. EDIT: And fuel drops assume you already have a fuel point locked down that can't be pushed... 14min with Luftwaffe, 17min without. So what? I guess you have not played the game when M3 costed 90MP and early/mid game took 10min till medium/late-late. Relic has increased prices of light vehicles in one purporse. Delay fast late-game and now you want late game around 14-17min. Brilliant. In: Lobby

So....? I already have 3 of them from drops. Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2015, 17:56 PMAlexzandvar Also fails to mention the fact the Pak43 doesn't work on every map either. And which maps do you mean? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturm pioneers are overpriced21 Mar 2015, 16:01 PM My bad, I thought he was saying about 76 but SU, not T34/76. That's what happens when you see only "76" without SU or T before T34/76 is fine. Maybe little better AI but overall it's good. At least I find them very useful. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: doctrinal units should21 Mar 2015, 15:56 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2015, 09:52 AMAlexzandvar The King Tiger is an excellent example of a well priced and tier placed unit. All heavies and call ins should be placed/priced like it. Let's prepare for 14min KTs vs IS2s fights in 4v4. In: Lobby

Trying to do the latter with a PIV is suicide. Please, dont turn into next Jaigen or Sierra. I still have faith in you besides this sentence In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The B4 and Commander roulette21 Mar 2015, 15:07 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2015, 14:15 PMRemi If all things are even, the soviet player will be able to field two IS-2's while the OKW player is still on his first panther and waiting for the KT. Add in the fact volks vaporise trying to kill an IS-2 and the raketenwerfer decrews in like two DShK bursts and you have a very uneven matchup. But then you can get Forticifation doctrine and surprise IS2 with Pak43 2 Panthers vs 2 IS2s Or Panther vs 2 IS2s and trying to survive next 3-5mins to get KT. And Volks dont vanish. Volley - retreat - no losses. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The B4 and Commander roulette21 Mar 2015, 10:20 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2015, 08:56 AMAlexzandvar Uh, since when do Soviets lack for effective options? The IS2 commander is one of the best in the game, massed IS2's in team games can become impossible to beat even if you get a KT out because they will have 2 IS2's for every KT you have. IS2 spam can pretty much only be countered by Multiple Elefants and Jadgtigers. In team games the amount of options for all factions expands, it doesn't contract. Not to mention multiple T34/85's along with Jackson support can be extremely deadly. You dont need KT to counter IS2. Panther can do it very well since it has better range. You can also combine KT with pak 43. KT+pak can easily counter 2 IS2s. Not to mention that you will get IS2 around 25min while in 4v4 can hit the field around 15. By the time second IS2 arrives you can get a Panther. Even in 1v1 2 IS2s are facing KT and Panther so I have no idea how did you figure out that OKW can get only 1 KT and nothing more. In fact you dont need anything more. In 1v1 Ive killed many IS2 with pak 43 doctrine (Ostheer one with railway-artillery). In: COH2 Gameplay
