Thread: SU-76 issues3 Aug 2015, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2015, 17:27 PMWingZero If we were to reduce the penetration, SU-76 will be a underused unit again and we don't want that. The only thing we need to do is increase it's cost and that is it. The biggest problem facing SU-76 is the blob factor. Uh, they could reduce it's pen by like twenty and it would still have greater than 80% chance to always pen all Axis medium tanks. That sure doesn't sound useless to me! If you think the SU-76 is OP, try spamming shreks and AT-guns with a little puma or Panther support. I hear it works wonders. I like how 90% of the suggestions ITT are either A. Go mobile defense or B. Just play OKW In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Obersoldaten UP3 Aug 2015, 17:29 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2015, 17:24 PMWingZero We don't want to go back to Volk Ober blobs please. Obers alone nullified MGs which were hard countered against infantry and blobs. Obers STILL retain their ridiculous vet bonuses not to mention the fact they are phenomenal against infantry. They buffed MG's for a reason dude. I dare you to try walking a Volks + Ober blob into a wall of maxims or .50 cal's without getting raped lol. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer T4 Viability3 Aug 2015, 17:27 PM The Ostheer Panther should come with skirts. Would make it distinct from the OKW Panther and give it a little boost since it comes so late and it's roll (fighting heavy's) got axed with the heavy limit + CP boost. It's biggest weakness (poor DPS) got ramped up really hard now that the meta is all about using lots of mediums. The Ost Panther simply can't compete with the amount of shit that will be on the field because of how insanely expensive it is and how long it takes to get it. It costs as much as two T34/85's or two Easy Eights to go from T3 (you can't afford to skip it if your playing competitively) to T4 and a Panther sure as fuck ain't worth two T34/85's or two Easy Eights.

Thread: Obersoldaten UP3 Aug 2015, 17:01 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2015, 15:45 PMEsxile What about your opinion since you only play with them and never against them with USF, your opinion is as relevant as mine. You probably know how you are using them but I know better how the majority of 1vs1 OKW players are using them since I'm facing them in 1vs1. And it is not amazing. Saturday I face a player from this forum in 1vs1 who was using them as a kind of main line infantry after some time, no cover usage, a-move, no insta-retreat when facing armor and not supported by ATstuff. People are also complaining about Scott insta-wiping the squad which is 99% bullshit, many many times, the Scott fire 2 or 3 times before touching a squad moving, and sometime the 4th shot is a headshot, but the Scott shot 2-3 times before. Which means 2-3 warnings not taken in account. Many people are counting on their luck, it miss 1, it missed 2, miss 3, and it gonna probably miss again and again until it doesn't miss and wipe. If people were retreating in time vs a scott, or going cover, they would not suffer those wipes. If you played OKW you would know a couple of things; -Obers lack utility compared to the rest of OKW's infantry options (the best thing on them is the booby trap point) -This lack of utility means they have to be very good at their 1 roll -They are just good at their 1 roll -When it comes to specialist units being only "good" at the 1 roll they can preform is a death sentence because the theory behind specialist units is that they are useless for anything else which justifies them being excellent in their 1 roll -OKW has a lot more AI options than previously -Thus the reasons for making Obers is few and far between. They have what I like to call "The Curse of Mediocrity" they occupy that space between "excellent" and "bad" units were you don't often see them because people will ALWAYS want to make the best unit they have available to them which most of the time isn't Obers.

Thread: Cruzz's The More You Know3 Aug 2015, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2015, 12:54 PMTrubbbel Is is true that cover is ignored close range (10)? Better to stand still and shoot-out than to sneak behind cover (movement penalty on accuracy I guess) in close quarters battles? Rifles (the weapon type not the unit) are shit while moving, a lot of people move around to much when shooting at people and it causes them to lose a lot of DPS. If someones coming at you from long range and trying to close stand still and shoot at him. If your in close cover retreat instead of trying to run away to cover because you will lose anyway due to not shooting back (while he is shooting at you). It's often best to just stand your ground and fight it out. This is especially true of Sturms, who with vet can make shock squads who attempt to close into CQC take a shitload of damage.

Thread: Why OH has +1 squad in the opening 3 Aug 2015, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2015, 12:41 PMaaa As i see it this T3 rush is very situational. At least on maps where fuel is in the far corners he CAN deny your fuel with heavy T0-T1 if you are doing that T3 rush. If you have no fuel he can just skip T2 and puma and do whatever he wants. He can even abuse T1 into P4 build if you dont have enough fuel. My posts are not about balance but about L2p, how to counter etc. Puma's don't allow you to do whatever you want. Almost all good soviet players will spam mines every were which are death for Puma's, and Puma's armor isn't small arms fire proof which means if you see one at around 25% health you can give it main gun destroyed if you shoot at it (which is part of the reason I fucking hate Quadmounts so much). Playing as Ostheer this patch against Americans is a joke, playing against Soviets is an uphill battle the entire game. The fact that Ostheer has no vehicles it can rely on before T3 and the fact T3 comes so late compared to the other factions means that Ostheer's weakest point is at the mid game were he has to micro like crazy to keep his shit alive. Late game how well Ostheer does depends on what heavy he has to call in and if he has a howitzer counter. Iv given up on using the LeFH because it just doesn't pack enough of a punch to be worth 2-3 infantry squads. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The patch only made a new meta that's even more boring3 Aug 2015, 12:49 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2015, 08:41 AMKatitof Why do you have so hard time comprehending the concept of cost effectiveness and tech cost being indicator of TIMING, not performance. No actually it's an indicator of performance to because more effective/powerful things are harder to replace and make. Cost is and has been always directly tied to performance and timing. The Ostheer Panther is worse than the OKW one (accuracy and reload) while costing like twice as much due to insanely high teching costs. It boggles the mind why Relic though that Soviets having to chose between t3 and t4 is dumb but thinks Ost having to chose between T3 and T4 is smart. Nothing in T4 is worth making due to the pricing; unless your stuck in an hours long game or some retarded 3v3 or 4v4 blowing that insane amount of fuel with so little return with never be worth it. Its already more armored then Katy. Drive closer for better accuracy No it isn't, it has marginally better "armor" (but can still easily be damage by small arms fired and everything will always pen it) while having the same health (so it can be 1 shotted by anything that does 160 damage) while having to operate in closer range than a mortar does. It's fucking shit as an indirect fire unit. 85 fuel units stuck behind retardly expensive teching should not be forced to drive within AT gun range of something to have a chance of maybe hitting something. Pathing fix, yes, but its accurate enough, attack ground only maximizes that accuracy. Regular shooting with it doesn't hit things due to the way the gun works; it's not a matter of scatter but the fact it has extremely wonky targeting. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: UKF - infantry units3 Aug 2015, 05:10 AM Beating Brits is about having shitloads of cheap stuff they can't cost effectively trade with. Like sure you might be taking more losses but it's -was- easy to drain them down to nothing. But you have to ensure they are down on resources towards the end of the game or else !!!FUN!!! stuff will happen to you. In: Lobby
