Thread: About the B-412 Nov 2014, 19:51 PM By the way, many times it's enough just to have stuka doctrine in line up. Soviets are forced to pick up doctrine since 2 CP if rely on elite inf so if Im not sure which doctrine my enemy has I just can't go for B-4 because it bill be too risky, while Axis players often can wait a long time after 2 CPs to choose doctrine.

If they get JT is mostly because they want to counter your ISU152. If not, theres little reason to get one because any mass attack from medium tanks means GG. And even if you get into the stage of ISU vs JT, it's a matter of how much wipes you get before you have to pullback and repair. Again, why bring up other units when we are discussing the B4? It seems like you think i don't care about soviet tiered tanks, JT, or other units. It seems like you are in panic if Relic dares to touch this unit. Company of Heroes 2 is designed to use doctrinal units against other doctrinal units. We have to deal with that. Allies suffer more from this issue because you cant counter KT, JT or even Panther without IS or ISU when OKW and OST have no problems to deal with IS or ISU with schrecks, Panther, King Tiger. The point is, Axis players get used to choose any doctrine they want because you still have counters for most Allies units. Then B-4 appears with problem that "I cant choose what I want because I have to counter this damn B-4" Get used to it. Allies are taking doctrine to counter Axis units always. Especially USF players that need to take almost alway airborne. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: JU-87 Strafe shredding tanks.12 Nov 2014, 17:25 PM I have no problem with effectiveness of JU-87. I have a problem that it comes with a Tiger. Imagine doctrine with Pershing and P-47.... The flame would blow up this forum. If commander has super AT ability it should not have heavy tank. In: COH2 Balance

That's the moment You use walking stuka. Axis can counter B-4 with single arty strike, stuka bombing, le FH, and many different ways. All you need is to choose doctrine with counter or use your skills. On the other hand, killing Jadgtiger is many times just impossible even with combined arms. I just button, mark target, FAB50 bombing strike, 2 ISUs and Jadgtiger was able to reverse. My pont is, you have 100% chances to hurt B-4. It will be crew wipe or destroying B-4 and yet many axis players are crying that it cannot be countered. My advice, take soviets and try to counter well-microed Jadgtiger without B-4.

I'm not 100% sure but this happens with other support weapons as well. Thing is B4 is really low. While you lose veterancy, you don't actually lose the weapon. If you were not so paranoid regarding "OH MY GOD THEY WANT TO NERF MY B4!!", i'm saying that static artillery needs some tweaking. All people complaining that you don't have non doctrinal solutions to heavy tanks, well yeah, i'm also in favour of increasing non doctrinal solutions! There was a thread about this pop thing and for example, ML-20 pop is attached to the weapon, not the crew, so it's the bug. Relic has to swich pop from crew to B-4. We all know that Relic wont change faction design. That means Soviets have to use t34/76 or SU85 against heavies if choose doctrine without IS/ISU. Nerf B-4 and another you will get another useless commander. What's more, it's very easy to dodge B-4. When you see recon plane, you can be sure that B-4 strike is coming. Just move units out of range or keep them moving till plane disappears. Aaa, and the best OKW counter against B-4 are falsch. Spawn them behind the lines. Wipe the crew and all vet is gone.

Wasted muni? I would say 2-5 mins without precision strike and whole game without vet 3 bonus. And pop cap penalty is a bug that should be fixed so don;t use such stupid argument. In: COH2 Balance
