Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:48 PM The problem wasn't that you had 1 squad of Guards doing it. The problem was you had armies of Guards roaming the map basically just whackamoling your tanks. They shouldn't have nerfed it as hard as they did, end of story. And no, stun shot has counter play. It's called not driving you tanks in front of enemy AT guns In: COH2 Gameplay

Talking bullshit 24/7 nonstop without any signs of conscience. wow I forgot to mention it had 200 more health. This obviously demands that you insult me instead of just being an adult and mentioning that I made the mistake of not saying it has 200 health. Insulting someone for accidentally forgetting to include a unit stat makes you the one frothing at the mouth, not me, sorry lol In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:39 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 22:36 PMMidconflict Currently, the ability is very one sided, it provides the German player with a quick and easy to execute vehicle snare without much counterplay in-between. By providing the opposing player with a way to react, the counter-play relative to unit positioning is better defined, thus reducing the receiving player’s frustration when the ability is executed. Counter play to stun shot is "Don't drive your tanks into AT guns". The Ostheer AT gun is fragile, and if a tank gets around it it's instantly dead due to the small crew size. Stun shot isn't OP, it's just a good vet ability and it's good compared to the now total garbage button. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 22:27 PMMidconflict Ok no the old button slowed down the tank, and disabled the gun. that was it. at anytime the german player could a smoke out of the button, or b kill the guard squad that had to get very close to make it worth willed. this was because if the tank got about of the range the button failed. With this in mine lets look at this more micro intensive Target weak point now, which relic thinks give more options from the enemy play to reactive and is not one side at all. tank comes into view of a Pak40 or a Stug. Push button tank is stunned for 3 secs. HHHMMMM one click dead tank, and the funny thing is the guard needed help, pak dose not. Relic nerfing the Button and making the target weak point better was a joke. With the most laugh able reason. The intent of these changes is to provide the opposing player an opportunity to react and counter the usage of button. Currently, the ability is very one sided, it provides the Soviet player with a quick and easy to execute vehicle snare without much counterplay in-between. By providing the opposing player with a way to react, the counter-play relative to unit positioning is better defined, thus reducing the receiving player’s frustration when the ability is executed. OW relic you, it is statment like this that makes me thing you only play germans Stun shot is not instantaneous. The tank/at gun needs to reload, and the PaK40 reload speed was nerfed exactly because of this reason. Old button made a tank so slow that it simulated the tank having heavy engine damage. And it blinded it so you couldn't see anything around your tank either. Really button just needed to be toned down, or need a reload timer like stun shot. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:33 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 22:24 PMbraciszek Sounds extremely familiar with something that is predominant in a large mass... And button is definitely much crappier than a stun. Blitzing, smoking, waddling out of range, and shooting/causing the Guards to move an inch invalidated the button ability, which wasnt that cheap, especially when you needed to buy the weapon with munitions as well (100+ munitions to stall a tank until forced to cancel compared to a handful of munitions for an AT gun to shoot a sure shotted stun shell in which the tank cant do anything for a few seconds...) It was all Guards were good for. The only use as to have them be rarer than Su-76's after the nerf... Ive seen Guards used less than a dozen times since that patch. Mark target used to be even more powerful (as to be the prime option for negating the buff Old TA had). Button and Mark Target were seen as the assymmetry for superior Axis tanks. Having tanks that need to require a lot of force to take down also meant that the enemy can pull something out of their sleeve to even the odds. Current Button is horrible, Old Button was extremely good. Really they are not comparable anymore. Old button negated Blitzkrieg and you could barely even move. Plus you couldn't shoot either. 100+ munitions to ensure the destruction of any tank is very much worth it. I'm sorry Relic can't make an ability worth it but insanely overpowered shrug. Guards need a buff, that much is certain, what they don't need it the ability to lock down any tank in the game. You clearly A) Cannot read and B) don't know about button. A) He said Target Weak Point, you quoted it directly, it's right there in the post moments before you say mark target. B) Smoke instantly cancelled the effects of button, because it requires LoS. It's not just a smokescreen, it literally makes a soviet player pay 45 to have it cancelled for half that. And to top it all off, all you need to do it set a PaK up in wait for said T-34-85 and click the TWP button before it comes into range, or the moment you see it. PaK reload is absurdly fast even if your first shot is not your TWP one. And go look up the stun times for TWP and the duration of Button, and then get back to me. Because button duration never changed. It just got made worthless. Bleh, I thought he meant the Mark Target ability. Pak reload isn't insanely fast, it gives the tank several seconds to move out of range. Seriously this is starting to get silly. Button was an ability that instantly blinded a tank and shut it down. Yeah smoke, this doctrine only thing that you pay 45 munitions to activate. Which if he has a single guard squad behind you then your still fucked because Button is an instant ability. Button was made worthless, but that doesn't mean the PaK stun shot is OP. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:27 PM That works but I feel like it really doesn't add much. A cool vet 1 ability would be something like sniping a tanks gunner or something. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Am I the only one?5 Mar 2015, 22:24 PM You could spend all day honestly going over why they didn't just use things from DoW II Taking the DoW II counter system would have made this game 100 times easier to balance. In: Lobby
Thread: Should PTRS be stronger?5 Mar 2015, 22:20 PM Your PaK has to stop, reload, and then fire meanwhile the quite fast t34/85 will probably not sit in the face of an enemy AT gun. He said mark target but in his other post said old button. And old button made you unable to reverse, or rotate. Sure you could use smoke but against someone who can attack ground if your buttoned he's still going to kill you. And the Target weak point stun doesn't last nearly as long as Old Button did, sorry.

Thread: Sturm pioneers are overpriced5 Mar 2015, 22:18 PM StG44 Ober's actually have less DPS than a Para Tompson squad, but if you have 3 LMG para's going against a Sturm squad with 3 members your going to lose because Sturm = 4/6 while your para's are at 3/6. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Who needs heavy tanks...when you got...5 Mar 2015, 22:13 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2015, 21:08 PMWhat Doth Life?! Since B4 only fires one round, if it misses you will feel bad. If ML20 misses a shot it has more on the way. I once destroyed a Jagd Tiger with an ML20 barrage since its owner didn't move it. While I think Counterattack and B4 are amazing, the ML20 comes in multiple commanders. They should just rename Shock Army "Anti OKW tactics" In: COH2 Gameplay
