Thread: British Mortar range is too damn high19 Feb 2016, 23:26 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2016, 21:35 PMtenid The sheer hypocrisy from OKW players in particular on this is astounding. Every single one of these complaints and worse applies to the ISG. It has comparable range, is mobile, has incredible accuracy, is much harder to hit thanks to its small size and is practically immortal since it will be sitting next to a battlegroup HQ and eventually flak HQ. If by some stroke of luck you stand in the fire from a mortar pit long enough for it to get lucky and kill the ISG, you can just re-crew it. I agree that it has an insanely high survivability, but when the mortars and ISG are in enough range for each other the AOE lets the mortar win (mostly from my own experience) Is it a problem, surely not, since the ISG has so much other outstanding qualities.

Thread: British Mortar range is too damn high19 Feb 2016, 23:24 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2016, 21:01 PMAerohank The range difference is not that significant, especially when the LEIG gets to vet 1. I urge you to actually try to use double LEIG to counter mortar pits. You will be surprised by the results. I don't even bother using mortar pits vs OKW anymore because of the ease with which LEIGs counter them. Yesterday in a game against Choccy I really had a hard time to take out the mortar pits because of their high AOE. The range is probably not that big of a problem, but AOE and the firing speed seems a bit high. In: COH2 Balance

It's a timed ability that is supposed to last for 75 seconds (the reticule on the mini map correctly lasts only 75 seconds). However, the planes will keep patrolling more than a 100 seconds after the ability is supposed to end. It means that if you do not have AA (which allies have a lot less off that axis), your vehicles will be out of the fight for 3 minutes. Even besides this bug, it's still a much better AT strafe than the 240 ammo P47 strafe. P47 rockets can't even hit a stationary P4. All they do is land next to it. But this is of course a problem with the P47... This surely is a big problem, but hey Relic waits and waits In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fixing the Brits16 Feb 2016, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2016, 17:10 PMAerohank No, the Leig simply (hard)counters all british emplacements. Leig gets +15 range at vet 1 which makes it super effective against mortar pits. A single Leig will force brace and repairs. Simply tell it to attack ground on the mortar pit and it will go away. Double Leigs counters all emplacement play, and will also destroy them fairly quickly unless the opponent uses Stead Fast and rushes heavy royal engineers. Triple Leigs will destroy even the most determined emplacement user. It depends how good the LeIG user is, so many people put them too close in range Kappa In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Calliope and Teching12 Feb 2016, 20:33 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Feb 2016, 15:48 PMAerohank The call-in system is very confusing. I wish they would just streamline it some more. Can't have no-tech EZ-8s call in spam but STUG-E into Tiger is still alright for some reason. I wish they would just place all call-in tanks in the tech-tree. 1000+ In: COH2 Balance
