Thread: British's Advanced Emplacement Regiment: Counter Battery5 Mar 2016, 13:05 PM If one really want to compare 25p counter barrage with LeFH one should take into consideration the following: 1)CP 4 vs CP 8 2) Veterancy vet 1 ability 3) cost 600 vs to normal tech progress (or "free" as some erroneously describe things that come with teching) 4) pop cost and upkeep 5)virtual indestructibility vs destructibility 6) faction ability to turtle Basically the only drawback of the 25p counter barrage is unit production is actually minor since it affect only 1 of the 2 production/25p building and one can still produce units and have barrage on...

Thread: Hammer gammon are (still) too expensive.5 Mar 2016, 12:45 PM Once more comparing Gammon and satchel is quite pointless. Different design intent and different timing. Satchel is an AI/anti-garrison/anti-fortification/anti-structure device that can be used against vehicles. Gammon is anti-vehicle device that can be used for AI/anti-garrison/anti-fortification purposes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hammer gammon are (still) too expensive.5 Mar 2016, 12:01 PM Gammon is dodge-able never argued differently and that is why I described it as a gamble in it current form... I only argued that if it to become cheaper and more spammable it should also become weaker. Less investment less rewards... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Hammer gammon are (still) too expensive.5 Mar 2016, 10:44 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 10:28 AMFiresparks bigger AOE but significantly less damage. 340 vs 200 is a lot. it's not like the satchel and penal are models of excellence to begin with. Their only real use is to knock down buildings and not much else. In this case bigger AOE mean that it can stun vehicles in quite a big area and that it can wipe out support teams and garrisoned units quite good... And that is why I said that comparing gammon with satchel is not really helpful in the first place...they both do a big boom and the similarities end there... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Assault Guns vs Fortifications5 Mar 2016, 09:09 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 08:50 AMnee ... And if you REALLY want to take out emplacements with heavy units, you don't use Sturmtiger or Jadgtiger, you use Tiger and King Tiger. KT is non-doc, Tiger is found in multiple docs, and both have turrets and respectable all-round firepower. Sturmtiger, Jadgtiger, Elefant, etc. are only marginally more useful, primarily because of range. ... And that is exactly my point specialized units like heavy assault guns should be able to counter fortification easier than all-around "heavy tanks" like Tiger and KT Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 08:50 AMnee ...the real difference between early and mid/ late game is that instead of UCs transporting troops around, you have Centaurs and Comets. Other options do kick in like offmaps and rocket artillery... Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 08:50 AMnee By that time, you've either lost because you couldn't bring other units to bear, or you won because you just resorted to AT Guns and Mortars or plain old tank rush instead of spending the fuel for a niche unit that takes 13-15 CP and mad amounts of fuel and manpower to deploy. That is if have chosen to attack a fortified position. If have chosen to fight elsewhere until you have better tools to deal with you can have plenty of time. Further more late game use of fortification should cause less time to counter them since the fuel cost to built them as an investment has less of an impact. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Heavy Assault Guns vs Fortifications5 Mar 2016, 08:37 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2016, 01:34 AMnee Personally I agree these vehicles should do a bit more damage against emplacements, all of them you listed are T4/ end game call-ins (and of course expensive), so it is not like you can just roll out a Sturmtiger the minute you see them build a Bofors. ... Glad to see that you agree that these units should do more damage to fortifications. My point here is not that these unit should become the only way to counter fortifications, but that these unit should be able to take such a role in late game where are methods are harder to be used and offer a solution against fortification spamming.

Penals also get Hurrah. ... 2 more range is 20% which I would argue in not negligible. Gamon bomb also has more AOE 4.5vs3.75 (20% better. In: COH2 Balance

These deal deflection damage.

Thread: Hammer gammon are (still) too expensive.3 Mar 2016, 18:12 PM Hammer Gammon Bomb are meant to be used against vehicles and are extremely powerful if the explosion hits a vehicle. It immobilizes any vehicle that it hits for 8 whole seconds... It has different range the satchel and different use and it should not be compared with it... If its price is to be reduced it should be allot less effective vs infantry so it does not not replace mills bombs and have a lesser affect on armor. In is current performance is gamble and it should be expensive... In: COH2 Balance
