I haven't looked at the game files, no.
But I have watched the results of both abilities in the game at least a dozen times each. P47 performs differently to the German equivalent. |
Erm…. sorry Cruzz, but they don't all work like the P47.
I regularly use the Stuka Anti Tank strafe, which similarly to the P47, does 3 passes. However I have yet to witness it target something well outside the targeting area. I use it most team games, and it always stays within the area, or at least within a few meters of it. The P47 regularly goes whole sectors over its boundaries.

Thank you Romeo.
I can accept it attacking me out of the area by a margin, or even if I exit the area after it starts shooting/has spotted me. But on the 2nd and 3rd pass, when I have left the area and am a considerable distance from it, it really shouldn't be targeting me, its completely OP when it behaves this way. |
So their is little point in the targeting area then, it will just get you wherever you are!? Seriously OP considering the other anti tank/inf air support for all other factions don't work that way…?
Working as intended I supposed... |
I have just had 2 games where our opponents used P47 runs against our team. In the two games, the P47 seemed to down right ignore the area it is supposed to operate in. Both times, I managed to retreat my tanks well away from the area, and yet the P47s continued to target them and ultimately destroy 1 of them. It was a complete joke.
Is anyone else seeing this happen too? Or am I just going mad…? |
I think the only thing I used Goliaths for in vCOH was booby trapping bridges or spamming uncontrollably for the trolz.
Nothing beat sending a Goliath toward a bridge when a king tiger was crossing... Insta-gg! |
Just want to put it out there... But if Axis unit A costs about the same and inflicts about the same damage as Allied Unit A.... Is that not something magical called BALANCE!?
About to jump on a 9 hour flight... I think many replies will be waiting for me when I reconnect on the other end... |
OK... It's now the Axis equivalent of the P47, but I agree it is very effective. Maybe a little too effective.
I would be happy to see a slight cost increase and the removal of its ability to hit non AT targets such as infantry. But other than that, I think it's fair.
Personally, I don't even use it with Tigers. I use it with Panthers and Command Tank. And usually I call it in when I see a couple of ISUs or IS2s. Call that in, run in with a pair of panthers and maybe a command tank if the game has gone on that long and you will dominate. I had a number of recent games where my panthers vetted up to 3 in no time with the support of this unit, soviets just didn't expect it whatsoever.
It is quite vulnerable to all the AA units in the game though. Multiple times I've had it shot down on first pass or even half way through first pass resulting in 200 munitions on barely any damage output. |
I think all factions should have a non doctrinal repair station, like CoH1 but maybe put a limit on the amount you can build, or increase their price. |
I'm sorry, but its completely reasonable that these mines destroy light vehicles and armored cars, they are designed to crit or destroy much heavier tanks. It was like this in WW2 and it is like this in the game.
There is a limit to all types of armor. End of. |
