Thread: Usf Rifle Company14 Jan 2019, 16:18 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 15:47 PMVipper The Sherman is a good all around tank it probably as cost efficient as PzIV. The 76 Sherman will beat the PzIV. If you USF have a tank that can engage the Panther (which is designed to counter tanks) 1vs1 and win then Ostheer would simply be lose badly to USF. USF already have better infantry, about the same Support weapons, better light vehicles about the same medium tanks and more cost efficient TDs, giving them a premium medium tank able to 1vs1 Panther would simply make them beat Ostheer at all stages of the game. But they'll still be lacking rocket arty, sniper, cheap tank destroyer and brumbar like unit. In definitive you're just over exaggerating USF capability and over underestimating Ostheer ones. Where I agree with you is that the Ez8 doesn't need to be changed, picking the doctrine doesn't restrain you from building a regular sherman or a scott for the AI purpose and keep the EZ8 to face other tanks. What the doctrine needs is a removal of the sprint debuff or better, making it equal at Ostheer one, all infantry except atgun and pak are running faster for a period of time. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Are Thompson Paratroopers worth using?14 Jan 2019, 09:22 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2019, 02:04 AMTobis Pathfinders aren't bad, but in my experience they aren't worth any more than a riflemen squad. I'd rather have a squad that can snare than replace one with a pathfinder squad. I don't think the benefits they have outweighs having another rifleman. Cloaking is nice for scouting lategame, but I like to win before then. I tested them a lot last year trying to find a niche for them, and I didn't. Their performance is just too similar to a riflesquad. They just make your riflemen greater. Now that they are CP0 I use to call a squad just when my first RM squad is out so I can 2vs1 anything that OKW or OST send early game. Extra vision provided by the PF let you decide how you want to engage and avoid early HMG42 aggression. Honestly I don't understand your argument about snare stuff, do HMG.50 snare? Do M20 snare? Do not consider a PF as a replacement for a riflemen squad but a replacement of an early M20 or HMG.50 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander Submission - USA13 Jan 2019, 19:54 PM Combined Forces Commander 5 USF commanders decided to combine their forces to provide you their support. The Armor commander provide you squads of Assault Engineers, Airborn allow you to use call their Paratroopers, Mechanized commander gives you access to their Greyhoud, Riflemen commander let you call their White phosphorus barrage and the Heavy Cavalry commander put at your disposal a Pershing.

Thread: Are Thompson Paratroopers worth using?13 Jan 2019, 15:56 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2019, 21:14 PMTobis 3 Rifles -> LT -> 1 para works well. Pathfinders are overrated, don't bother. Paratroopers are the best american squad in the game. I think it is like cutting one of your legs to not call a Pathfinder squad. Now I'm not telling that one pathfinder is better than one riflemen but they do wonder in team and can save you a lot of manpower and precious time to end faster an engagement and push/cap behind with two squads on good shape. Could they be better? Sure, but I want to point out that it is already the squad that hit vet1-2-3 first, long before my riflemen. 1xRe + 1xPF + 2xRM + 1xOS and then a Para is still great in most cases. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshirmjager usage9 Jan 2019, 12:29 PM Luftwaffe isn't a great commander for teamgame, it has its use on 2vs2 but above and the resource accumulation their time windows is too small. They also suffer the lane concept of large teamgame and maps, how are you supposed to hide when the frontline is so small and when around 8-10 minutes arty strikes start raining all over the place. Luftwaffe is a pure 1vs1 commander where you can exploit falls's biggest advantages: infiltration. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: About upcoming new commanders2 Jan 2019, 16:00 PM Í'll be honest but 1 new commander for OKW/USF/Brit feel the same. They could focus on revamp 2 more commanders per faction and that would be 100x greater than 1 new toy. Can't speak for OKW or UK but revamp Tactical and Riflemen commanders would do greater than one new I-don't-know commander. In: Lobby
Thread: Rifles+ Pathfinders?2 Jan 2019, 11:55 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jan 2019, 11:24 AMadamírcz Well, its obvious that I will eventually get more riflemen, but in a specific one situation where Im… lets say facing two volks/grens squads, will it be more likely to defeat them with a riflemen squad that has a Paths squad slighty behind them, or do I have more chance with double rifles squad The way to use pathfinder isn't to 2v2 another squad but having one more than your opponent. 2xRM + 1xPF vs 2xVG/GR to force your opponent to retreat. You may think that in that case why not using 3xRM to get the same result. Well this is the same reason why you build an early M20 or early .50 instead of another RM squad, diversity and adaptation, you can scout HMG position, you can snipe and force early retreat etc... Pathfinder should make you save manpower from RM squad, keeping them longer on the BF. Same result with a M20? well but you may decide to go T2 or to save fuel for sherman rush etc... In definitive: Your initial question shouldn't be RM or PF but PF or/combo M20/HMG/Stuart/AAHT. In: US Forces Strategies

For the first one, we need, on average, 1 minute. For the second, on average, 15 seconds. Therefore, JLI must beat the Penals. Then JLI must beat any unit >300 manpower, we can close the topic.
