Thread: What if we made the Flame Hetzer a useful unit? 4 Apr 2020, 18:31 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 18:14 PMT.R. Stormjäger Not for okw and especially against Comet/Churchill/T34-85/Dozer M4/Ez8/KV1/KV8. I put the KV1 and Churchill here due to cost very near medium tank cost. I was referring to stock mediums exclusively. All of the ones you just listed would give the Hetzer an even larger time window to operate without challenge in due to higher cost. 2x Rak will do just fine against any of the 3 stock allied mediums, and will still do pretty well against most of those except maybe churchill and Kv1 Kv1 and Churchill would be awful at fighting the hetzer, and most certainly do not count as medium tanks. Choosing one of those for your first tank while there's a hetzer on the field already makes no sense at all. You'd be waiting longer for a tank that has no chance of chasing it down...

Double AT gun from any faction has been able to counter mediums for a pretty long time now. At no point have you needed a vehicle to counter mediums It definitely makes it easier if you a a vehicle with AT, but 2x AT guns can still do really well, especially if you have something to bait with In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sweepers in half track's shouldn't detect mines.4 Apr 2020, 17:59 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 16:28 PMAerohank But sweepers already do lock out upgrades. Weapon racks are not upgrades, they are picking up weapons. For fucks sake dude you're literally debating grammar. You know damn well what Im talking about Grabbing weapons from the racks should be treated just like an upgrade on other engineers. OR there should be no reason you can't upgrade to a flamer and sweeper. If you disagree, okay but you're ignoring the real point: Combing a zook/piat with a sweeper is just as strong if not stronger than a sweeper engineer that also has a flamethrower. ESPECIALLY since Royal Engs and Rear Ech can get a 5th man. The western front engineers already have enough advantages over the eastern ones In: COH2 Balance

I don't think it needs to take up both slots. I didn't say it should take up both slots i said it should lock out any upgrade When you purchase a flamer or seeeper on CEs/pios it locks out any other upgrade, but they still have a weapon slot if they find a dropped weapon In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sweepers in half track's shouldn't detect mines.4 Apr 2020, 06:58 AM Echelon just shouldnt be able to equip sweeper and 2x zooks. Its wild that you cant do flamers and sweeper on pios/CEs, but 2x zook REs which get a 5th man with vet can still get a sweeper Same goes for Royal Engies and piats. A sweeper should lock out any other upgrade In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Airborne Company4 Apr 2020, 02:55 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2020, 02:43 AMMazianni 20* M26 Pershings saw combat with 3rd and 9th Armored Divisions (1945), 310 sent to Europe overall before VE Day. 40-44 Ostwinds produced or converted between September 1944 and March 1945. Supposedly prototype saw service in France in September of 1944 and survived to supposedly see use in the Battle of the Bulge. Number actually produced is apparently unclear. Four vehicles saw service with 501st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion in early 1945, where apparently they performed well enough, though not versus aircraft. Yeah I'd say both of those accounts qualify as "little action", especially compared to several other vehicles. My point is they are featured far more often in this game then they were ever seen in WW2 The other point was to be talking less about history in a balance thread, not more In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Airborne Company3 Apr 2020, 23:18 PM This game really doesn't take history into account that literally. Pershing and Ostwind saw little to no real action as far as Im aware In: COH2 Balance

I bet you see it a lot more after IS2 nerfs. Its actually similar to hetzer situation with OKW p4. Why get hetzer/KV8 when I can save the fuel for P4/IS2, respectively. Both are just AI exclusive vehicles that you can ignore and save up for something that does both OKW was originally designed without a stock P4 so I assume that has something to do with the Hetzer's issue of fitting in In: COH2 Balance
