Erm... for a vehicle that goes boom from two shots? Sometimes you don't even have time to react. Penetration buff or health buff I'd say. ... Still, I would suggest a health buff. Fact is that in current state, USF armor is too shitty even for its actual price..... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Need some OKW Tactics 5 Dec 2014, 07:33 AM What doctrines do you own? That's important too as OKW (against expectations)has different play modes that are quite doctrine dependant. If we're talking random 2v2 and you don't plan anything with your teammate, then things are simpler. Build one volk squad and one kubel, then build some more volks (2 or 3 squads). If you suspect the enemy is going on fast vehicles like USF AA for instance, replace one volk squad with an raketen. It will be easier to fight it with combined arms (schreck + racketen). Definitions: T2 - jagdpanzer building T3 - Puma building 1. If you start with T2, this will lead into an infantry intenssive tactic, so your best choice may be Breacktrough doctrine (for officer and Pfusiliers), or a doctrine like Special Ops or Scavange (because of infiltration grenades). Place the T2 somwhere hidden, preferably close to the center of the map and convert it into a retreating point. That way you will maintain a good presence on the field. Place the T4 so it has in range the T2 and one victory or fuel point. T4 also must not be to exposed. Placement of trucks it's a bitch, but a good placement will allways pay off . Allways place your T2 and T4 when is peace and quiet, never in the middle of an incoming attack. You can build infantry gun too, PzII if there is not to much medium armor on the field. Best thing is if you can resist untill KT without building vehicles, so forget the panthers. But this is up to your partner, if it supports you well. If you built Panthers, keep them in back while in front you will have your resistant squads of volks and Obers. No unsupported armor. Kt, Panther, jagdtiger, all must be supported with volks and obersoldaten. OKW infantry is not so hard to preserve so you shouldn't have problems. 2. If you start with T3 which I prefer, you will have a complete solution containing counters to everything in early game (volks, strumpio, Puma). You have multiple choices from here. Eather you stay a little more at this level and build wurframens (2 is the best number), which I recommend against maxim/zis/mortar spam, eather you go to T4. Unlike the first variant, your T3 should be placed close to your base, because for vehicles will be easier to go back and repair. They can comeback quickly into the fight so there is no reason to expose T3 by building it to close to the center of the map. The placement of T4 should be done like in the first variant. Because T2 will be most likely the third building you will build, don't forget to drop once or twice a healing box with your sturmpios near your Hq where your troops retreat. I discover that T3 start is going verry well with scavange doctrine, the puma and JLI combo producing good results. Your aim should still be the KT which in this case will come later. I would avoid playing OKW like playing Ostheer, using to much the Mg34 HMG like I saw to some players. Mg34 it's not Mg42. You must use what this faction has best: elite heavy armor, strong elite infantry. Of course there are many more things to say, but I have to go. Good luck! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?4 Dec 2014, 13:28 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2014, 13:05 PMelchino7 IF the rak is bad, think about the little doctrinal at gun. Yeah, who cares No one, because it's doctrinal. Doctrinal between 20 other doctrines (many of them being alot better than doctrines that involve it). Not essential for the gameplay at the moment it's available. Not the only weapon AT team available for soviets at the moment it can be called. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Teching: Inefficient vs USF?4 Dec 2014, 10:22 AM @miragefla - as much as I admire you as a player I have to disagree. USF it's not in a good spot right now and the last thing it needs would be a nerf of any kind. I am not saying ostheer it's at their best, but USF is worst. Most probably both factions need some work to make them keep the pace with the other 2. You know what is the biggest difference between USF and Ostheer? Ostheer involves alot of pain in early game and you need extra work to reach late game in a good shape. But once you do, you have a good chance to win. USF involves also alot of work to dominate early and middle game, but once you reach late game in a good shape you are not rewarded, on the contrary, you get crushed by Axis heavy armor with a very little chance to hold on your VP and finally win.

Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?4 Dec 2014, 07:57 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2014, 21:29 PMvan Voort Raketwerfer is the worst AT gun if you try to use it as a PaK-40 But as I use it as what it is and play to its strengths I really love it Not sure what you mean by usig it in other way than " a pak 40". It has a horrible aiming time which doesn't recommend it to be kept to close to your target. It gets torn to pieces by a medium tank if properly attacked. It has an embarassing range and a more embarassing damage. The only "good" usage of this unit is keeping it in a house or something to guard a crossroad or a deployed truck.... or together with your volks blob if you are an A-move lover. But this is not what an AT should do. No other AT gun has to be used in this way. In: COH2 Balance
