Thread: Redesigning OKW Spec ops24 Nov 2019, 16:18 PM I like the brandenburger idea, only problem is they'll be using the same assets and voices as the Jägers/Stormtroopers. Also here's my take on the Spec Ops doctrine and implementing the Owl/Uhu in it as well: https://www.coh2.org/topic/89646/okw-owl-ht-and-special-operations-rework-idea/page/1 Maybe you'll find an interesting idea in there.

Thread: UKF absent from tourney play again22 Nov 2019, 18:03 PM Lack of a non-doctrinal mortar has been an obvious weakness for the British since the beginning of the UKF. Reliance on static play and emplacements has been a glaring oversight of British Army design since CoH however in general, so it's not just this game. Even with doctrinal mortar options (Commandos in CoH and Lend-Lease Assault here) that still doesn't fill in the gaps that a lack of a proper commander option leaves you with, still relying on mostly static and defensive gameplay. As far as the Ostheer goes in my opinion their lack of 5 man squads non-doctrinally as well as no forward retreat point, doctrine or not and lastly a lack-luster heavily Tiger reliant late game is also a glaring issue for them.

Thread: 6 changes to improve Wehrmacht commanders thematically 22 Nov 2019, 16:13 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2019, 01:03 AMMazianni Soviet Panzer IVs when? Sorry to burst your bubble but this is a discussion about the Wehrmacht/Ostheer, not the Soviets. On a related note however, this would be a pretty interesting thing to add for the Ost: T-34/76 with Armored Skirts taken from the All Units Mod. Only the Germans can call it in which is pretty nice and unique. Just add a skin with the Balkenkreuz to it and it will be perfect. Also just a note here, Germans only modified captured T-34s because they didn't really like them in their production state. They added stuff like Panzer III and IV Commander cupolas and armored skirts to them. However they didn't modify captured Shermans because they thought they were already good tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Redesigning Super heavy Tanks21 Nov 2019, 16:04 PM I'm sorry but could you define a "super heavy"? Are the Elefant, JT, ISU-152, KV2 and Sturmtiger super heavies or something? Or do that Tiger, KT, KV-1 and IS2 count as well? Cause a lot of people also count the Panther as a heavy tank while the game says it's a medium one and I'm just getting confused by what people mean exactly. In: Lobby

For instance Hans-Ulrich Rudel the Stuka ace was allowed to fly the Stuka even when it become obsolete and Erich Hartmann was flaying a me-109 even when superior planes where available. Anyway enough history . I am not sure how the Luftwaffe or Kriegsmarine did it but generally people that were allocated and allowed to in Heavy Tank Battalions generally stayed there.

And most of these Panzer Aces did not start with Tiger Michael Wittmann started with Stug -E if I remember correctly so many of them may have used a Panther at some point. Nobody started in a Tiger lol. Otto Carius was in a 38(t), Wittmann like you said in a StuG-E, von Rosen, a commander of a platoon and later company of the 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion was in a Panzer IV with a short barrel, Knispel served as a gunner in most imaginable vehicles with a gun and so forth. But there is a reason why they chose the best for the Heavy Tank Battalions, especially for the Waffen SS. Also Panther was a 1943 vehicle, Tiger was introduced in later 1942 so a lot of those people using a Tiger did not switch over to Panthers. They were held in the Heavy Tank Battalions until either death or the end of the war. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 6 changes to improve Wehrmacht commanders thematically 19 Nov 2019, 13:48 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2019, 09:34 AMVipper That is incorrect for instance Ernst Barkmann was using a Panther. "Barkmann Corner" Yeah I actually googled for Panther Ace after I made that comment and found out about Barkmann but the other half of my statement still stands, most Panzer Aces were in Tigers. Kurt Knispel, Martin Schroif (Relic even gave almost the same name to the driver of the Tiger Ace), Otto Carius, Michael Wittmann, Hans Bolter and others are just some examples of Tiger Aces.

Thread: 6 changes to improve Wehrmacht commanders thematically 19 Nov 2019, 09:10 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2019, 07:39 AMSmartie Here's a reworked version of Mobile Defense, i used a lot of stuff from Sander's concept, PUMA is out but ... a PANTHER ACE is in. 1. Sd.Kfz.250 2. Counter Tactics 3. Mobile Observation Post (Flares should need less mun) 4. Hold the line! 5. Panther Ace (reworked Commando Panther) - starts with Mark target and Vet 1 - loses all buffs to nearby units The unit would be incredibly mobile starting with Vet1 and Mark Target would help a lot against allied heavy tanks. I guess most of you will prefer a version of "Mobile Defense" with the PUMA which is entirely fair. But let me know what you think about the idea of an PantherAce - and how such a unit could be designed and used in other commanders. Problem is there were no Panther Aces as far as I'm aware, almost all Panzer Aces were in Tigers so it wouldn't make much sense for real life. Another thing is that there are already voice lines for a Command Panther for the Ostheer, but no voice lines for an Ace such. I would rather a reworked Command Panther or a proper Command Tiger that loses some of it's offensive power to be able to buff nearby tanks and later infantry as well maybe. It could be made so it also only buffs your own units and not your teammates as well so it's kept as balanced as possible while still bringing something new, unique and fun to the table.
