Thread: 20-30 crashes?! Come on Relic!13 Mar 2015, 10:27 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 10:24 AMAlexzandvar Why do you think that CAS should be literally unusable because your enemy made 1 AA unit? Plane crashes being dumb is one thing, thinking that a AA HT should negate an entire commander is well, stupid. And why it should not? I go for pure Air doctrine so pure AA unit should counter my abilities so if I want use them I need to destroy AA unit or use planes out of the range. Right now AA unit is not helping to prevent planes. It helps your enemy to make planes even more deadly. CAS best ability is fuel->muni and AA has nothing to do with it. CAS on the other hand negates any howizters. No enitre commander but howizters. AA does not negate all commader. You still have conversion and Stuka dive bomb. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 20-30 crashes?! Come on Relic!13 Mar 2015, 10:18 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 10:12 AMAlexzandvar I think plane crashes are stupid but in this case you were being a dodo by just keeping the AA on despite the numerous plane crashes and the fact you couldn't shoot the strafing planes down before they could let their load off. Relic should get rid of RNG plane crashes, but the reason why you were being reemed so hard was because all the strafes and recon were flying towards you. And you think that without AA mode, AA truck won't shoot down planes? It will and it will do very good. Not as well as in AA mode, but still. We are getting close to dangerous statement where CAS (Air commander) will deny AA units of your enemy while it should be opposite. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: WEHRMACHT=RUBBISH13 Mar 2015, 10:15 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 10:09 AMAlexzandvar Why not just go T1+T2? T70's are fun times but I would rather just play with my infantry and save my fuel so I can lock a win then gamble with T34's which they can counter perfectly easy anyway. OKW AND Ostheer have fairly good counters to mediums, what they don't have is a counter to indirect fire and 2 shock troops with a horde of cons behind them. Because T1+T2 won't provide you amazing presents on the field. Won't provide you great push. Won't provied you anything. You are spamming cons, OST makes grens, mg and mortar. Going for T1+T2 won't put any pressure. He still can spend all MP into AI units. But once he notices T70, he must get a Pak. 320mp wasted for AT. Then T34. Second Pak is needed, 640 MP for AT while soviet player spends everthing for AI or AT&AI units. Then you just drop flame strike at double pak thanks to recon mode, so your enemy probably won't notce this until it's too late and it's almost GG. This means worse present on the field, more micro with paks, less troops, less capping power and on... and on... You don't play 1v1 so there is no point in explaining it to you. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: WEHRMACHT=RUBBISH13 Mar 2015, 10:07 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 10:01 AMAlexzandvar T3 + T34 = 240 fuel. IS2 = 230 fuel. This is why your assertion is silly. T34's are more expensive than getting an IS2. He did exactly that, but I backed my tanks up and baited him into rushing forward so I could overwhelm him. But what is shows is that he had the perfect counter to me and I beat him because I could micro my KT's better than he could his SU-85's. If an opponent has you countered, you need to outplay him to win. T34's versus someone with KT's and Panthers are going to lose unless the person with the KT is an idiot, the person with the KT, was an idiot. And again you are looking at numbers... Dry numbers, nothing more. IS2 at 25min won't put pressure on enemy in first 20mins. IS2 wont provide you 2 fuels for few mins and on... and on... and on... Cons spam + T70 + T34 into IS2 is a way more expensive than IS2. In fact, for this you could call in two IS2 but you ae blind, you don't see the reason why you build T70 and T34. And that's the point, you don't rush SU into fog. Why even rush? Stay where you are and wait for enemy since you have VP. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: 20-30 crashes?! Come on Relic!13 Mar 2015, 10:05 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 09:58 AMAlexzandvar The reason these planes crashed on you was because single strafe planes are always flying towards your enemy normally, so if it gets shot down who do you think it's going to land on? The person it was heading towards. After like the 3rd crash why didn't you just turn off your AA? The strafes can be avoided with out shooting the plane down. Maybe because of recons? Do you know how stupid it sounds? Turn of AA mode so AA unit won't shoot down planes. This is like get out your crew from Jackson so it won't kill Pz4. Thanks Relic! In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: WEHRMACHT=RUBBISH13 Mar 2015, 10:00 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 09:52 AMFaustCostBulletin The entire thing can be thwarted by Pak 40 support and/or Panzerschreck support, neither of T-34/76s on the move can deal with. (your anti-infantry are generally slower and you can't flank it when also flanking KT and Panther). So either your opponent goofed up big time (it's really, really easy to keep the enemy from hitting Panther's rear, and slightly less so for KT), or you're some micro god and you can make enemy AT support disappear along with that. And this is vere incendiary strike or propaganda comes in to deal with schrecsk and volks and to separete them for tanks. Like I said, combined arms. Combine your T34 with ZiS, good doctrine and voila! Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 09:52 AMAlexzandvar A poorly microed anything will do poorly against a well microed anything. Your replay proved this in spades. It did not prove versus a competent opponent that T34 spam works. Do you think that person who spammed SU-85's versus my KT's and Sturmtiger thinks well of his choice? On this map, SU85 is very good choice but the usage of it was very poor. It should stay behind with focus sight to snipe and keep all armor at distance while Shocks deal with infantry. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: 20-30 crashes?! Come on Relic!13 Mar 2015, 09:55 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 09:40 AMtotalchuck Since the planes can crash anywhere, theyan kill enemy units as well. So what is the Problem ? I find it even more funny. Random shit exploding evrywhere on the battlefield it s like war on top of a volcano Not really... Plane will fall down in, let's say, circle around your AA. There are very small chances it will fall at the enemy, unless you keep AA truck at frontline but I doubt it. Since AA is somewhere behind your lines, 80% chances that plane will crush on you. They lost 2 volks to planes. I lost AA, Ambulance, Scott and something more. Add my teammates to this. I alone lost more than whole enemy team so... Planes wont crash at your opponent, or they will but ver rarely. Unless you target strafe from enemy to you, but that's not gonna happen. If you target strafe from you to enemy or from side, it will crash at your enemy, always. In: COH2 Gameplay

Alex is finally speaking sense and people are going LOL T-34 DOESN'T SUCK IN TEAMGAMES on him? T-34/76 is utterly inadequate 2v2 and above. Edit: Unless you mean T-34/85. Then you still sort of have a point in that its a slightly better Panzer IV and spams of it isn't much more effective than PzIV spams except for tech cost, but that's call-in mechanic's problem. Yes, T34 sucks when stand agasint anything bigger than PzIV. No, T34 is very useful in 4v4. In all my 4v4 I go for T34/76 and Im very succesfull with it. Try it yoursefl but this requires combined arms and brain instead of brainless A-move. No one is saying that T34 is better than IS2 or ISU because it's not but they give you great present of the field. You can switch sides in a second, you can react very quick and punish a flank. You would be surprised how useful they can be. No matter they are worse mediums. Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 09:24 AMAlexzandvar Easier to kill, more expensive to reinforce. 6 men > 4 men. USF has this same issue. Iv watched this already but the dude (as in assbags opponent) played like an idiot from the start. Good micro on any unit will get you far. I applaud your ability to break the meta, oh wait, I applaud Assbags way to break the meta because this replay had zero relevance to your assertion other than T34's can do good when microd, which I never said was impossible. The issue here is that T34's drop off hard in usefulness in higher game modes and they need to be massed to be effective. You siad that T34 wont do anything agaisnt Panther. I just showed you that they can deal with KT and Panther at once. End of story. Let's skip to another thread. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: WEHRMACHT=RUBBISH13 Mar 2015, 09:11 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2015, 09:06 AMAlexzandvar So what are you T34's going to do then? Because I have tellers on my flanks so your not going to have the element of surprise cause your going to need a sweeper, or to stop and fire at cut off points to make sure there isn't a mine there. Pardon me if I'm confused by someone unironically claiming that T34's are at all not a joke versus a competent player when anything bigger than it hit's the field. You make all these insane statements and then back them up with nothing, no numbers, no math, no logic just "I think, therefore, I'm right" Fuck me. I swear this is the last post. You expect better number from T34 than IS2? Or what? Sweepers are not the problem. I found it just for you. 5 VS assBAD Mister. Yoon [KR] FHQ abuse in langres (lel) by: assbag map: Langreskaya 26 - T34s vs Schrecks and King Tiger. Enjoy and stop talking pudding that T34 are useless because in hands of someone who uses them in A-Move like IS2 they are useless when when used right they are deadly. Did I mention that Paks are usless when I use incendiary strike? In: Scrap Yard
