Thread: ISU-15228 Apr 2014, 19:10 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2014, 17:58 PMthe_onion_man You're missing the point. If you want to complain about the Elefant start another thread. This thread is about the ISU. Oh i get your point, logic stands in the way of your bias so off with it. You didnt have problem supporting post made by KyleAkira comparing the two, i wonder why? No "gtfo KyleAkira, dont discuss Elefant here" ? Also this Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2014, 17:15 PMthe_onion_man In any case, even a single infantry-supported Zis can easily take down an Elefant. Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2014, 12:50 PMthe_onion_man I haven't played with, or against, the Elefant enough to comment. In: COH2 Balance

But remind me why we're talking about the Elefant in a thread on the ISU? Short memory, huh? Well its started with your post claiming it's easy to kill Elefant with zis+infantry, so i asked for replay, because im curious of these vaccum games. In: COH2 Balance

EDIT: Keep in mind Cruzz knew the ISU would be used. That is a huge advantage as Cruzz could prepare accordingly - these games were all about the ISU's performance. It's not important that Hans won both games - that might have been due to skill or just luck. (Second game was EPIC btw. and also showcased the problems with the new Puma unit.) What is important however is how the game changed once the ISU hit the field. Cruzz was forced to attack the entrenched position of Hans. Simply because Hans was suddenly able to obliterate entire units at will once the ISU got a bead on them - which wasn't too hard given the ISU's range (sight as well as weapon range). I was also amazed to see how easily the ISU vaporizes shotblockes - two shots just about completely removed one of the central (by the middle VP) hedges on "Crossing in the woods". The ISU is a game changer: Setup weapons become obsolete - as for the other units: Attack and/or die! It's no Tiger Ace (pre nerf) but that's still not OK. I've seen the last game and all i saw was two players trying to prove something, not a game thats played to win. I saw ISU, squad wiping twice, ending the game at 63% efficiency(2 of them). I saw puma frontal rush from killing ISU among at guns. I saw Cruzz not building anything to deal with weapon support crews or AT guns. I saw Cruzz rushing his pumas to kill second ISU that was hiding at base edge instead of fighting for flags. This game remembered me when shook troops were 1 CP and it was all the rage on forums, and at the time there was this SNF#5 final, were both pro players tried to expoit recent "mistake" by relic. Well soviet forces didnt won a single round that final. This game is about reflex, fast managment of troops and thats it. Top players dont impress with some well thought out tactics but the responce time they give command to units. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: ISU-15227 Apr 2014, 17:57 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2014, 16:34 PMthe_onion_man You absolutely can kill a Brummbar with 2 zis as long as they are not directly next to each other. And the Brummbar cannot kill the pak from beyond the pak's functional range, especially if it has even a single con squad in support. And you absolutely can kill an ISU with 2 paks if you'll make use of the terrain. Maybe people here should stop looking at things from a unit vs unit vaccum perspective, huh? In: COH2 Balance

Thread: ISU-15226 Apr 2014, 21:22 PM 1. Build arty - well let's start with an old favorite, if it's a way for soviets to deal with Elefant it shouldnt be a problem for Germans to kill ISU with theirs 2. Build Elefant - well this one is obvious, no soviet vehicle can counter Elefant 3. Build halftrack and shreks - put shreks into a halftrack, go at the rear of ISU, unload and kill ISU (halftrack is not meant to survive, its just a transport and a way to block ISU retreat) 4. Use smoke bombs/barrage + some tank - use it for flanking? 5. Pak 43 - well since it still shoots trough objects, it can engage ISU with no risk, it got buffed this patch also So many options what to choose! But if soviets need to deal with Elefant its pretty much arty and call ins, yup Anyways did ISU became problem in 1vs1? is it really an obstacle all you bright minds cannot surpass ? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Penal Battalions THE THREAD!7 Mar 2014, 16:57 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2014, 12:03 PMKatitof To better show you what is wrong with that, please close your eyes Stopped reading after this, couldnt see anything. Anyway i think my suggestions is more fitted for a Penals thread in the other forum section. While what i said would make them pretty decent unit i guess it doesnt fall in to the category of being useful/balanced without doctrine like ones discussed in this thread. Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2014, 16:00 PMJHeartless Zis camo? You mean to enjoy this benefit I need to build T2? That sucks...what if I want T1? Well, if thats a problem for you, just dont pick commanders with such abilities, cant have everything Really, now In: COH2 Balance
