Thread: Comet armor and abilities3 Sep 2020, 21:34 PM It's ironic as after using the Comet with my brother the other day in several games I meant to, but never got around to, make a comet UP thread. You're so much better off going FF with strong infantry or churchills. Or Churchills with 17pdrs quickly thrown up by upgraded sappers is great too. Hell, even masssed cromwells I find better than the Comet. Maybe it doesn't gel with me as a unit as I always regret buying one...or four. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Potential reworks for current doctrines3 Sep 2020, 21:12 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2020, 05:46 AMUnit G17 Try Armored assault then, it has both the t34/85 and the is2. Personally I found the kv8 very useful in Soviet insdustry, with two repair options available it can terrorize infantry all day. If I need something that can counter other tanks, then I just get Su 85s. The fuel drop usually works around mid game, leading to early tanks, such as an early kv8 while there is nothing to counter it. I like the repair stations too much as they can really help non-usf allies. I just think the axis fuel drop is vastly superior to the allied one. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Potential reworks for current doctrines2 Sep 2020, 22:37 PM Would really like to swap the KV-8 for the T34/85 in the Soviet Industry doctrine. It's a tank based commander but without something better than the 76 it falls flat. Not to mention the fuel drop is utterly useless. 100 munitions for 30 fuel that gets shot down the moment any AA hits the field? Honestly, why is the allied fuel drop so awful compared to the Ost one which is such better value, can be used for munitions too and can't be shot down. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: State of OKW in the meta 2 Sep 2020, 22:22 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2020, 20:25 PMthedarkarmadillo Most MP AT is vulnerable to rocket arty.... That's what rocket arty is for. They are defensive and are vulnerable to the same things defensive units are. Late game they protect your other harder hitting AT. plinking away and stopping your case mate TDs from getting circle strafed. Well if we are going to be pedantic, all infantry and support weapons are vulnerable to rocket arty XD But with shreks/bazookas the initial volley can still do decent damage and you can keep moving while they reload. If you move around with penals nothing would ever get damaged. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of OKW in the meta 2 Sep 2020, 13:00 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2020, 23:46 PMthedarkarmadillo AT penals are defensive and far from useless late game. They make it so the enemy will not dive you. Plus they have low but steady AT DPS due to deflection damage. They have different roles but neither should retain their capacity to fight infantry, certainly not elite infantry, when upgraded into AT The AT satchel is their only saving grace for the late game. They can do small amounts of damage that can add up but to utilise their ptrs rifles they have to be stationary/in the area for a long time. Making them easy pray for any enemy with rocket arty.

Thread: State of OKW in the meta 1 Sep 2020, 20:17 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2020, 19:35 PMthedarkarmadillo I agree with that design philosophy regardless of the current discussion. great AI into easy AT is poor design. At least pgrens have to think long and hard about it. But AT penals are worthless beyond the early game unless they get a lucky satchel off. Pzgrens are absolute AT beasts, hence why the change is more polarising. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Comet armor and abilities1 Sep 2020, 20:14 PM I just find the comet so lacklustre tbh and most of the time I regret teching for it instead of getting fireflys. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does 1 vs 1 feel like a big scam? 30 Aug 2020, 18:34 PM The same thing happens in team games all the time. The enemy teams eventually gets cocky enough to dive with all their tanks but instead meets a withering barrage of AT guns. Time after time the winning team will put all their eggs in one basket then decide to hurl that basket off a cliff. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to deal with panzerschreck brummbar combo23 Aug 2020, 15:45 PM Your USSR teammate needs to focus on rocket artillery as he's the only one that gets a decent nondoc version. USF, use Pak howis but don't invest too heavily in them if there's an OKW as the Stuka will cancel them out in no time. UKF, churchills can keep the enemy occupied long enough for your allies to team up on them/help. Mines everywhere. especially to protect the Katyushas from diving tanks. If they get to vet 3 the enemy infantry problem will be massively reduced. Also, the odd medium tank dive into the Ost base to wipe damaged Pzgrens can really help. Just keep driving into them to crush and stop them taking aim. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: If you made the 76mm Sherman a stock USF unit?10 Aug 2020, 13:11 PM Mech commander has lots of stuff but no Calliope for blob control means I can rarely risk picking it in team games. M4C is a brilliant glass cannon but it's anti-infantry abilities aren't enough to warrant picking it over a Jackson or upgraded sherman with dozer blade. In: COH2 Balance
