Map control in team games is different because you're responsible for less of the map. You can group your forces tighter for a stronger force in a smaller area You have to spread out a lot more to control the map in 1v1. If you spread out too much in teams, a strong deathball will just push you around and there goes your map control In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix24 Mar 2023, 14:32 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2023, 13:31 PMVipper Now you are entitled to your opinion but I have the fact do not agree with that opinion. In sort you expressed an opinion I provided theory based on documented facts. So where do you think I'm getting this from? Just pulling it out of the air? The british operational research sections discovered that their own pilots were heavily exaggerating their on-ground kill counts. Sometimes even saying that they killed more vehicles than were even present in an engagement Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2023, 13:31 PMVipper If you disagree with the facts I have pointed out feel free to do so but I have not interest in being involved in "forum fight " with people who disagree with me as person and use ad hominem arguments. Where do you see me using ad hominem against you? I said it's your opinion (and mine, respectively) because neither one of us was there, and historians themselves disagree about this exact topic. Don't lump other people's comments against you in with mine Thisarticle has some of what I'm talking about. I can't find my history of ww2 aircraft book which mentioned other pieces including Britain's white panther test where pilots struggled to hit a disabled panther that was painted bright white and left out in the open. And they had no AA to worry about The article doesn't at all suggest that it was impossible, and neither am I. But it was way more difficult than pilots acted. Rudel was a "war hero" for a reason. Even though it was exaggerated, his feats were incredibly impressive and far from the norm If you want to continue this, DM me. We have both derailed this thread enough In: COH3 Central
Thread: The negative user reviews are infuriating19 Mar 2023, 03:41 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2023, 00:57 AMDIRTY_FINISHER 2.10 years of patching/updating COH2 to get it where it is. No lessons, were remembered at all. None. We have actually gone backwards in terms of progress. This is the most frustrating part. Relic repeating some mistakes and even doubling down on others. It seemed like they were taking in more feedback going into this game but apparently a lot of it hasn't stuck In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix19 Mar 2023, 03:18 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2023, 02:00 AMVipper I have provided the facts that demonstrate that stuka become more effective in the AT role when they started using guns instead of bombs and I have moved on. You provided your opinion, and I disagreed. Happy to move on In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix18 Mar 2023, 16:36 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2023, 08:15 AMVipper Direct fire was an effective way for planes to destroy armored vehicles in WWII it even today. That is very debatable and not at all confirmed. It was nowhere near as effective as the numbers suggest Today is irrelevant to the discussion Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2023, 08:15 AMVipper Mental gymnastics will change that. ?

Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix17 Mar 2023, 23:29 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 22:20 PMVipper Rudel's record is not the point. Then why mention it? Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 22:20 PMVipper The effectiveness of stuka in the antitank role increased drastically with the version G equipped with 2 37mm guns. Diving bombing vs tanks is not actually effective for a number of reasons. The AT rockets where inaccurate that is correct but not the guns. That was also the case with Hurricane IID armed with 2 40mm guns. The weapons were effective in tests, but in practice it was still extremely difficult to do. AA got better as the war went on too and the Ju-87 was highly vulnerable to AA. More than pretty much anything else the Germans made It wasn't impossible to do, just way more difficult than the numbers suggest Dive bombing wasn't directly effective against tanks, but it was very effective at killing or scaring away any of it's support. Which could force the tank to retreat anyway In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix17 Mar 2023, 21:19 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 18:30 PMVipper "Rudel flew 2,530 combat missions on the Eastern Front of World War II. The majority of these were undertaken while flying the Junkers Ju 87, although 430 were flown in ground-attack variants of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. He was credited with the destruction of 519 tanks, severely damaging the battleship Marat, as well as sinking a cruiser (incomplete and heavily damaged Petropavlovsk), a destroyer (the Leningrad-class destroyer Minsk) and 70 landing craft. Rudel also claimed to have destroyed more than 800 vehicles of all types, over 150 artillery, anti-tank or anti-aircraft positions, 4 armored trains, as well as numerous bridges and supply lines. Rudel was also credited with 9 aerial victories, 7 of which were fighter aircraft and 2 Ilyushin Il-2s. He was shot down or forced to land 30 times due to anti-aircraft artillery, was wounded five times and rescued six stranded aircrew from enemy-held territory" Those are definitely exaggerated heavily, as almost every war hero's kill counts always are. That is extremely common for soldiers stories for any country and this has been said especially for pilots in ww2 from both sides They all often exaggerated their numbers and no one could really contradict what they were saying, they were much more alone than soldiers on the ground Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 19:05 PMVipper My point is that when going after vehicles, direct fire is a good option for airplanes. That is why airplanes likes Stuka G and Henschel Hs 129 where developed in WWII and why A10 was developed after the war. A war hero's stories is not good evidence of that. The stuka was super successful with dive bombing against just about everything, it's direct fire effectiveness was much more debatable And on the other side American and UK AT rockets were very inaccurate and really hard to land well even on the largest German tanks. It was exaggerated on both sides I'm aware none of this matters to game balance, just think it's interesting In: COH3 Central

IRL it was extremely difficult for planes to reliably hit tanks with direct fire. The strafe abilities in this game are much more realistic than the tracking loiters In: COH3 Central
