Thread: Wehr Design ProposalsToday, 10:48 AM Jump back to quoted postToday, 09:41 AMAftermath I'm purely approaching this from a faction design (gameplay) perspective. DAK have 5 different infantry units that can repair and all vehicles repair themselves passively with an upgrade. They don't need more repairs but I'm okay with it being thrown into a battlegroup. My point was about the "recovery" mechanism and not the repair one. (Have to point out once more that I do not like the recovery aspect) If one want to redesign the unit as "repair" vehicle that is another story. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Wehr Design ProposalsYesterday, 18:55 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2023, 10:43 AMAftermath .. The inclusion of the recovery halftrack to me makes a lot of sense. Relative to DAK, where everything either repairs or repairs itself, Wehr lack repair options in that they only have Pioneers and Repair bunkers. The recovery halftrack fills a niche more admirably here I feel by giving you that lategame fast repair. I haven’t been able to find in the modding tools how to adjust the repair rate yet but I’m sure I can figure out how to give it DAK advanced repair. ... From a purely historic perspective recovery halftrack suits DAK. The Germans used as many enemy equipment that could use and even had medals for their mechanics. Having that said, their reliance on captured vehicles was clearer in the Africa than elsewhere. Some of the reasons for that were: 1) The lack vehicles 2) The type of warfair (fast with no real front lines) From a design point of view the recovery vehicle mechanism is bad in my opinion and should be replaced by other mechanism (like recovering parts of vehicles and not the vehicles themselves), but that is another story. If there was a recovery vehicle in my opinion that should be available to DAK. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix24 Mar 2023, 13:31 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2023, 03:18 AMSkysTheLimit You provided your opinion, and I disagreed. Happy to move on That is simply a misrepresentation of what has happened. You provided an opinion on post 41 : Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 17:57 PMSkysTheLimit IRL it was extremely difficult for planes to reliably hit tanks with direct fire... I provided historic fact that paint a different picture. WWII planes could reliably hit other planes that moved 400 KM, so hitting a Tank which by comparison was sitting duck was much easier. Further proof of that is that when the RAF decided to use Hurricanes vs Tank they equipped them with Guns and when Luftwaffe decided decided to use Stuka vs tanks they also equipped it with guns and they even designed a plane for that role which also carried guns. Reliability for hitting tanks with guns can be easily seen in Rudel record who is credited with 519 tank destroyed. (Even if the number is inflated half the number 259 or even 1/3 173 is still impressive and strong indication of airplane had little trouble hitting tanks). The fact that after the was the US force decided to develop a CAS airplane and decided to build it around a gun further supports the theory that airplanes can hit tank reliably. 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. 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.

He cant quit until he has the last word. I am not the one continuing the debate about airplanes guns. 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. On the other hand you are the one posting about me instead of skill planes. Now pls move on also because currently you are actively derailing this thread. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Suggestion to Moder's community18 Mar 2023, 08:17 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2023, 00:08 AMAngrade (Ægion) I personally will not be modding in Coh3. That is pity Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2023, 00:08 AMAngrade (Ægion) The last time I played it, Coh3 had about the same amount of unpolished as one of my own mods. Seeing how many issues in Coh3 has, it gave me a renewal in modding in Coh2. That is good In: COH3 Central
Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix18 Mar 2023, 08:15 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 23:29 PMSkysTheLimit Then why mention it? 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 Direct fire was an effective way for planes to destroy armored vehicles in WWII it even today. Mental gymnastics will not change that.

Thread: Skillplanes need an IMMEDIATE hotfix17 Mar 2023, 22:20 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2023, 21:19 PMSkysTheLimit 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 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 Rudel's record is not the point. 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. In: COH3 Central
