any points OP mentioned aside, i believe that removing schrecks from volks is, for instance, a classic example of homogenizing factions. the same applies to the mg34 change.

why cant okw have schrecks, why do they have to function the same as ostheer AT wise, why do they need a stock mg all of a sudden??

some may argue that schrecks on volks are BS or mg's should be standard, but all you really do is aligning a faction, okw in this example, to your ostheer faction ideal.

relic already has removed the resource penalty, they really dont need to get rid of unique flavour even more.

While I agree with the idea that homogenizing factions is a bad idea, Volks with shreks promote bad gameplay. The faction design for OKW was already pretty lack luster at the start (even before the "overhaul"). The sad thing is between USF and OKW both being pretty blobby factions the only way to fix this is to give more tools for antiblobs. As such OKW gets the MG34/42.


Another way to fix this (and many have said it) is to make cover more important, adjust received accuracy on units in close proximity (as it was in coh1). However Relic seems less inclined to adjust any of the sort and would rather go for MG buffs.

Why does everyone hate mines? Seriously? "if the enemy rushes you you are screwed" lay a mine and they wont get to far... Why is combined arms so hard....ALSO the barrage ability (while RNG cause relic LOOOOOVES abilities that have the potential to do absolutely nothing no matter what the player tells it to...) I have been lucky enough to insta Gib a few squads with it. Its long range support for stuff like machine guns and at guns..

lol what even is this?

The Elefant is not used in many games at all, it's almost as rare as a KV2. It's simply inferior to Jagdtiger.

Why should JT perform the same as Elefant? You do realise Elefant is 88cm Pak43 and Jagdtiger has 128cm Pak44? Or of course "CoH has nothing to with history" so that in case why don't we just allow Shermans to be TD for USF? The JT is one of the only things going for Axis over Allies at the moment and there is no reason why it should be nerfed out of the game.

The HE round ability is terrible, if its not on flat ground it will hit any terrain in the way, has poor accuracy, doesn't do much damage, requires vet and costs a lot.

ughhhh. I see an ele or jag almost every game as I play 2v2's and 4v4's a lot. The jagtiger's range is so long that you often cant flank them. The Infantry of OKW's handheld AT shut down most flanks and you will always lose 1/2 tanks while engaging. The high front (and currently pre patch high rear) makes this unit hard to deal damage to. The high HP means that even if you do pen the unit its still soaking up loads of damage you could be doing else where. This doens't take into account that the unit can shoot through ALL shot blockers and terrain meaning you will always be shot at no matter if you flank it or not. The reverse speed/ engine upgrade is cheap, 90 muni is nothing once it hits the field and as such allows it to disengage from combat faster than you would expect a tank from that size to do.
The HE rounds allows the tank (even if you say they are bad) allows you to engage AT guns at max range making this tank more than just "dedicated" AT. Its a cheese ability and should be removed.

You can say the ele is bad, but the damage it deals and the 70 range is incredible and yet still fair if I lose a tank or two to it while closing the distance. If you think the ele is bad than maybe you should try it with a good team or try supporting it.




EDIT: All in all the Jagtiger is a one man army and can effectively take on huge team pushes and effectively win games if not shut down as soon as it hits the field. Its a big dumb OP unit with minimal micro and skill required to use it and as such needs nerfs to match that of other units of its class.

What is up with all these utter scrub threads just exploding after notes were released?

Pfaust is fine and so are any other snares.

I'm not sure lol, its not even out yet and people cant handle it

I think they are fine

There always will be port of hamburg choke point hell.



Then it would be useless to build pak 43, as it useless to build 17 pounder right now (this and 23 popcap and additional damage from at guns, thats frustrating how bad it is, arrrgh). Huge at guns shooting trought walls is necessary evil which is tradeoff for their immobility.

I was talking about the jagtiger having longer range than immobile ATguns not a nerf for dedicated AT emplacements. The jagertiger shouldn't have this ability as its mobility seems unaffected due to engine upgrade.
