Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 23:29 PM There is no identical option to old button. The PaK40 is a fragile anti-tank gun, it having a stun makes sense. A anti-light vehicle unit that can also be upgraded to preform against infantry shouldn't have an ability that can instantly shut down any tank in the game. The Krupp steel meme is even more pointless today, since the only common MBT is the Panther, and despite it's high cost people throw a shitfit when it's counter is 2 AT guns. In: COH2 Gameplay

They are no obersoldaten, meaning you could suppress them if you had an Mg42 behind cover/inside a building. And the things have a range, and last i checked, tanks drive faster than Guards dance. Again, such a blob is hundreds of munitions, and buttoning and being avoided by a proper player meant you were sinking way too many munitions into nothing. Price apparently does justify performance, so there is no problem in this. As for times before WFA, there were the various tides of OP soviets and OP Ost, in which people playing Ost was always much higher, meaning the noobs always played whatever made them win, so it was not surprising to see such noobs whine their ass off once something actually stopped the Moscow drive of their Krupp Steel. Old Button was overpowered and should have been toned down instead of nerfed, but it wasn't really an issue for lower skilled players because most low skill players had zero idea how to abuse button. And I played almost entirely soviets before WFA as in 200-300 hours. I enjoyed the crazy strats you could do with Soviets that you could never do with Ostheer. Yes, Guards ever were Obers, but for a unit to be able to do decent against enemy infantry AND have an ability that instantly stops any enemy armor in rage is pretty fucking broken. And lol Krupp steel, this meme sure is getting old. I guess you forgot how the Panther got nerfed into near uselessness for a while. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 sold 4 million units in 20145 Mar 2015, 23:07 PM Tbh this really isn't that impressive, the RTS genre is dead, COH2 had very little in the way of serious competition in 2014. In: Lobby
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 23:05 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 22:59 PMbraciszek Time to sigh more. If Guards was actually effective itself versus tanks like an AT gun, AND had 60 range, then yes, button could be more OP than TWP. But still, im wondering what the average Ostheer player did back then, build only 251's and Ostruppen instead of the units that were good and crushed the Soviets? Guards werent obersoldaten, contrary to fake misconception. No, but a good player could shut down a Ostheer player who didn't go elefant's rather quickly because the roaming band of guards could deal with enemy infantry AND make it so your tanks could surround and kill his tanks. Old Button meant with a minimal amount of micro, as in moving your AT guns and TD's into range, you could button an opponents tank and kill it fairly fast unless it had a largish health pool like a Tiger. The Ostheer AT gun can't sight for itself, and the stun takes a minimum of 4 seconds before firing because the AT gun needs to reload before firing the stun shot. The Ostheer AT gun is also fragile and can literally not do anything to enemy infantry, while guards with old button could. And the fact that you kept the enemy armor support fleeing meant your own tanks could roam the field with supremacy. It is an L2P issue as your player card shows that you haven't even played the Soviets. Until WFA came out I had ~30 games as Ostheer, almost all of my pre-WFA hundreds of hours were Soviets. I abused the old button so hard I was accused of hacking multiple times lol. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:53 PM Like it just blows my mind there are people who seriously didn't abuse the hell out of button back when it was good. Old Button + Old ISU = Kreygasm. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:52 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 22:48 PMbraciszek Le sigh. "Counter play for old button was 'Dont drive your tanks into guards". Guards are 6 men infantry squads that can be suppressed, ran over, smoked, and grenaded, invalidating their use due to it being an infantry squad trying to do its job. Button wasnt OP. It was just an expensive and effective ability to take out superior Krupp Steel panzers that took forever to kill" Shall we dig this hole deeper? Guards were enemy infantry that could come out in pretty significant numbers. The issue was that you could just spam cards and still do okay versus enemy infantry while helping make all enemy armor that dared get anywere near your Guards could get driven off pretty fast. If the Ostheer AT gun was effective versus enemy infantry, AND was mobile then yes it's stun shot would be OP. In: COH2 Gameplay

Not driving into AT guns is so super easy when their range is longer than the line of sight of any of my units. How did I never think of this before. Avoiding at AT gun with range longer than your sight is so much easier than avoiding getting close to a guard squad with a buttoning range substantially less than LoS. Of course. AT gun's need units to sight for themselves, you should be going in infantry first tanks second to make sure there are no surprises waiting for your armor. Seriously, the Ostheer Pak40 isn't a issue, it has 10 more pen than the ZiS but is more fragile. In: COH2 Gameplay
