Thread: M36- badly underpowered?7 Dec 2014, 10:17 AM Damage, penetration etc... It does not matter since it can be killed in 2 shots. Jackson can be used very well in defensive tactic but how the hell I suposed to use it offensive? I see 1/10hp Tiger and obvious thing is I should finish it but with Jackson it's impossible. It can't self spot (it does not have roof so I guess it's easy to take binoculars to increase sight...) It does not have front armor, it does not have penetration good enough. So how to finish retreating tank? Most of the time it's suicide mission with little chance to do it. Panther, Tiger, KT, JT, Ele, IS2, ISU, even SU85 don't have any problems when it comes to chase unit but USF? Glass-cannon Jackson without speed advantage (it's fast but not enough) or Sherman which has problem to penetrate PzIV. OST and OKW can use blitz, kill unit, smoke, reverse or self spot. SU can self spot or use huge IS2 front armor. US Forces don't have any advantage when it comes to late-game. All you can do it's micro. The worst is when Axis player have Ele or JT which properly used can completly push back Jacksons and make them useless. Maybe increase cost, give it true armor (it had over 100mm in some places) and increase hp. Or just give us commander with Pershing. By the way, Jacksons alone, wihtout P47, are meh. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 'Random Army' Button6 Dec 2014, 10:18 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2014, 10:05 AMSpanky That feature in coh1 was good, when i was unsure what i wanted to play as, i just picked random and played with factions i hadn't had much experience before ( OF Factions ). Got me into playing more PE and i got better in the game overall. I don't play soviets in coh2 cause the faction doesn't appeal to me, but if i would get it with random pick, i would have no other choice than to try and win, who knows, maybe even start to like the faction. You can simply pick up SU and launch the game Taking SU with random its just fooling yourself. In: Lobby
Thread: 'Random Army' Button6 Dec 2014, 09:51 AM Useless. Who wants to play different army will play with different. Dont need random for that. And who wants to play one side, will play one side. But thats just my opinion. In: Lobby
Thread: M36- badly underpowered?6 Dec 2014, 09:32 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2014, 06:59 AMCieZ I think it should be pretty obvious by this point that the Jackson is light-years ahead of the SU85... AT nade/Button and SU85 will shine. Only advantage Jackson has over SU is mobility. Vet 3 SU85 has just insane RoF, can spot, has better penetration and does not die in 2 shots, yet it's still UP a bit. ________________________ US Forces have one huge issue. Chasing units. How the hell USF should finish 1/10hp retreating KT/Tiger? Chances to penetrate at max range are none. 90% cases, tank will retreat, get repairs and get vet. On the other hand SU, OST and OKW dont have such problem. Panther with blitz, front armor, pen can easily finish any unit. Same thing about JT, KT, Tiger, IS2, ISU. What's more, if you won't pick up P47 it's probably GG. Imagine situation where OST players has to take JU doctrine because if they won't, they will struggle with Shermans and won't kill them.

Thread: Was molotovs that heavy?5 Dec 2014, 14:09 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2014, 13:50 PMschnuersi He explicitly asked for historical background! So yes the background is there and explains why Molotovs work the way they do in the game. Jackson had over 100mm front armor but we dont see such thing in game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Was molotovs that heavy?5 Dec 2014, 13:01 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2014, 12:42 PMschnuersi ... Sure, but it's not about physics, history but balance. Grenades are very poweful. No matter who is throwing. Grenades can sometimes surprise you can wipe your squad. Molotovs can't surprise You and even if, molotovs won't wipe you in a second like normal grenade. Molotovs can't destory building (at least I did not see anything like that) while regular grenades can. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Was molotovs that heavy?5 Dec 2014, 12:31 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2014, 11:00 AMHighfiveeeee You have to think about the fact that the molotov is the only grenade besides the rifle grenade that detonates on the moment it hits the ground. So it needs a more obvious animation to give the enemy the possibility to dodge it. But grenades make one explosion so if you won't dodge it, you can be wiped in a second. Molotovs make damage per second so this "explosion" is not so powerful like grenades because you can lose 1 model and just step out of the fire. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USF pop cap4 Dec 2014, 23:00 PM Relic said that their idea was to create situation 3v1 - 3 Shermans vs 1 Tiger. So 6 Shermans vs 2 Tigers is something like 72 vs 48 so it's 28 left for inf vs 52. Oh wait... Officers In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?4 Dec 2014, 16:33 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2014, 16:25 PMHitman5 They are nerfs because they weaken the faction and the units. If Riflemen came with sticks instead of rifles, but could still upgrade to rifles for 60 munitions, would you not consider that a nerf? Usefull Medium tank instead of very late-game and very rare tank is nerf to faction? Well, I see a lot of complaints about lack of medium tank. You still have schrecks but on different unit and Volks would get AI upgrade + Panzerfaust. Where the hell you see those nerfs?! If Rifles come with sticks and I could pay 60 muni for LMG, why not? But Obers dont come with sticks and 1 LMG, right? So this is very stupid statement from You. Guards, Grens, Paras, Rifles. Everyone has to upgrade LMGs but not Obers. Why? In: COH2 Balance
