I shall just ping the Ostwind until my allies leave their side of the map to help me!

Seems like a pair of P4's would also get to Vet 5 with his Optimal USF build. They're in complete agreement with OP that the lack of a Jackson is indeed optimal. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Hulldown for ambulance21 Oct 2019, 14:44 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2019, 06:17 AMpencilp5 The optimal usf build seen below Problem is the ambulance is too weak to stand defiantly at the front lines, please add either hulldown similar to kv1 or allow creation of the israeli iron dome around the ambulance. Is it optimal for the Walking Stuka, double Leig, or Pwerfer? The last time I saw such a perfect build, I got 90 kills with 2 LEIG's, though sadly none of them was a ambulance. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Brummbar OP plz nerf!!!!20 Oct 2019, 21:46 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2019, 20:54 PMT.R. Stormjäger Half true. Werfer is really good, no change. Brummbar is an assault gun that can’t assault shit because it gets wrecked. Not enough mobility to flank strongpoints, not enough armour or range to take them head on. Tried a brummbar 3 days ago and the everything penetrated like it was nothing. Either more armour or more range to make it more usable. I rarely see Brummbars anymore, but ran into one on Essen and had problems with it (KV1 and T34 bouncing off it). Don't know what it's armor is, but it was enough to bounce 4-5 shots. It can stand up to a T34 for awhile on a city map. It just seems really situational now, but a lot of units are like that. Also, you can get two Ostwinds before you get one Brummbar, which are a lot less situational. In: COH2 Balance

I'm with Blueknight on this one, seems like a rant. OP used a Soviet loss to OKW as a reason for Soviet nerfs and OST buffs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: This is the biggest load of B.S. right here.20 Oct 2019, 17:31 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Oct 2019, 11:51 AMAarotron I disagree heavily. Usf player didnt have much in the way of at, and taking note match has been on already for 19 minutes and hasnt seen price using any tanks should be self evident that he is saving for heavy tank. Usf player could have been more prepared to arrival of the tiger. he could have scrounged second at gun out in prepare. Also the usf guy wasnt so overmatched by tiger, he brought it low quite many times. He took a lot of health from the Tiger on only the first Tiger dive. He didn't follow-up well. Had he dropped the clustermines on the MG instead of the truck it might have been very different. He also lost his AT gun and didn't replace it, which was critical when the Tiger dived the second time. It's a case of small mistakes snowballing into a loss. Part of the "out plays and out maneuvers" was that the USF had both an M20 and Sherman while the OKW was saving for the Tiger. In short, I don't think you could conclude anything anything from this replay. Someone could make the same replay except switch sides and replace the M20 and Sherman with the Luchs and Puma, then replace the Tiger with a Pershing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should Axis pintle upgrade give bonus sight?19 Oct 2019, 23:53 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Oct 2019, 11:23 AMKatitof I'll assume that you're all advocating for this kind of buffs for all the sherman pintles which cost more muni then axis equivalents. This thread's amplifier hasn't hit 11 until someone suggests that the pintle for the ISU should make it self-spotting. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Can blobing be addressed directly16 Oct 2019, 18:03 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2019, 06:31 AMSander93 Not really. The Maxim needs 6 models to compensate the horrible death loop, but then 6 models makes it extremely durable in the early game. And the big problem is that OKW has nothing to counter HMGs in the early game, except for flanking. This is a big problem on laney team games maps (like Red Ball Express) where they can't really be outmanoeuvred and spamming them shuts down an entire portion of the map rather easily. Ergo, we are pretty reluctant to directly buff the Maxim. Thanks for the reply. There are a couple things about this that I'd challenge. The first is that OKW has a hard time Maxims on Red Ball. It takes 3 Maxims to lock down either of the fuel lanes. I've never seen anyone try the center lane, but it would be 4 or 5 to lock down the center. There's always enough gap to flank. Once they're flanked, they have the long retreat back to base. Most players won't leave the Maxim on the field after it is flanked due to the death loop. In this regard, a Maxim isn't really more durable than a MG42 once flanked. Also, if buffing the Maxim is a problem for OKW, then how is the current MG42 NOT a problem for the UKF, especially with Sections nerfed RA while moving on open ground. I rarely see Soviets try Maxim spam. The last time I saw that was on Eindhoven in a 2v2. That game really showed me how bad it was. I often moved units through part of the arc of a Maxim without being suppressed. The arc is too small to be effective on maps like that, as it is easy to avoid the arc. Once one unit is outside the arc, the Maxim can't reposition in time and has to retreat or risk being lost. I wouldn't ask for any of the damage, rate or accuracy stats to be buffed but a wider arc and a further increase to nearby suppression would help it do its job without risking bringing Maxim spam back.

Thread: Jagdpanzer IV Refit16 Oct 2019, 17:10 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2019, 15:21 PMLago I think this is a clever way to make the JPIV stack up better against the Panther without making it overpowering versus mediums or an automatic buy, and it does it in a strategically interesting way. Thoughts? I play mostly 2's and 4's, not 1's so take this with a grain of salt. The change you're proposing wouldn't change anything for me. On a 4v4 map like Hill 400, the JP4 is already really good if you're one of the players that has to fight in the center, and is your only stock counter to Allied TD's. I'm always going to get one or two (depending on whether I have a JT or not. If I have to defend the cut or fuel, I'll get Panthers because flanking or being flanked is much more likely and the JP4 is never going to have a turret. It's similar in a 2v2 like Eindhoven where I'd always want a turret around the right side fuel. In: COH2 Balance
