Thread: flank vehicles11 Mar 2021, 11:55 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 11:44 AMKatitof If you only could have made it to the end of the sentence.... You mean this: Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 10:59 AMKatitof Maybe some fringe cases with 5-10% bounce chance. So let me do the math for you cause you really seem to be struggling lately T-34/76 vs rear Tiger: from 32%->57% that is plus +25% chance T-34/76 vs rear K. Tiger: from 36%->53% that is plus +17% chance T-34/76 vs rear Panther from 59%->89% that is plus +30% chance Actually contrary to picture you are trying to create, T-34/76 has a good chance to penetrate most axis vehicles rear armor even from max range including vehicles like the Ele/JT It even has 89% vs PzIV J and Panther rear armor. One should try to flank when using the T-34/76 So once more pls check fact before posting Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 11:44 AMKatitof But no, its better to just ignore half of the sentence and regurgitate your usual bullshit. That is you projecting once more. In: Lobby
Thread: flank vehicles11 Mar 2021, 11:41 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 10:59 AMKatitof Not a single axis unit in game lost any relevant amount of armor that would even remotely impact result vs T34 main gun at any range, be it frontal or rear armor. Maybe some fringe cases with 5-10% bounce chance. Again totally false. Please check you fact before posting: Panther: Rear Armor from 135 to 112.5 • Rear armour reduced from 110 to 90 (all variants) Tiger ... Rear armor from 250 to 180 ... Wehrmacht Tiger & Tiger Ace rear armored reduced from 180 to 140 Wehrmacht Elefant rear armor reduced from 150 to 110 OKW Jagdtiger rear armor reduced from 150 to 110 OKW King Tiger rear armor reduced from 225 to 150 In: Lobby

Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 07:41 AMKatitof T34 originally was designed as cheap "pack hunter", where you sacrifice one for ram to kill whatever target. Without ram, there was a time where 4 T34s couldn't kill P4. Current T34 is just another med tank with stats and price proportionally lower to regular bunch. Here what Relic has to say from the patch notes: "The role of the T34 is that of a flanker meant to exploit enemy weak points with hit and run tactics. " Now pls stop fabricating thing that are false and presenting them as Relic's design. In: Lobby
Thread: flank vehicles11 Mar 2021, 07:09 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 07:00 AMAradan Flankers would exist, if revers speed dont be the same, as forward speed. If you can't flank a Ele/JT/IS you are probably doing something wrong that has nothing to do with reverse speed of these vehicles. Having that said having different forward and reverse speed would be an improvement for vehicles but unfortunately as far as I know the current engine can not handle it. There are way to make unit better at flanking thou. In: Lobby

Thread: flank vehicles11 Mar 2021, 07:02 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 04:12 AMthedarkarmadillo There used to be a formula but it has been altered by tweaks. P4 used to be 100/110/120 iirc, the t34 has been as listed for ages The formula used to be simply consistency. A close value and a far value with a middle value... In the middle as a result, an even split. "flanker" units don't really exist because the risk of flanking is rarely worth the reward, certainly it enough to warrant a class of its own. This is why the t34 is regarded as hot garbage when it comes to AT. No, if you want a "flanker" unit it needs to have low pen and high damage so that it's actually advantaged to be up in the enemy's guts, not disadvantaged-because the enemy is getting a pen increase as well after all, so it's not only making the flanker easier to snare, but more reliable to do finish off at the same time. The role that's being called "flanker" exists and is really just called "shitty" Relic decided to create the role of "flanker" that is a simply fact and T-34/76 was designed with that role. If Relic implement that role correctly is another story. The current state of the T-34/76 is even yet another story since Relic has stop making designing the Patches a long time ago. I will not go into T-34/76 current performance since it irrelevant this topic. The fact remain that vehicles better of maintaining distance and vehicles that are better of closing the distance.

Thread: Sandbags nerfed enough? Nope11 Mar 2021, 06:51 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2021, 01:04 AMWhiteFlash Vipper, The ability to destroy sandbags with AT guns or other heavy fire is the only reason any of this works in any capacity. The ability to destroy sandbags should be retained even if only engineers or doctrinal abilities can build sandbags. The main point is the current design leads to bland early game scenarios and uninspired engagements that are essentially the same regardless of the map. Ignoring the design of the map turns what should be a colorful match into a greyed out repetitive task list that shallows the tactical depth that COH established in 2006. I was referring to the ability "destroy cover" some engineer units have that apart from blowing up cover can also blow up vision/shot blockers and thus can manipulate map design. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: KV111 Mar 2021, 00:06 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2021, 23:49 PMMr. Someguy It's only strength is it's HP though, if you give it 800HP it's at the same durability level as a T-34-85 but without a decent gun. Not really: 270 armor vs 160 armor And hull down ability 0.8 damage reduction. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: German Infantry Commander adjustments10 Mar 2021, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2021, 20:28 PMPip I don't think the VSL upgrade gives anything except a fifth man with an STG (and free healing) now, does it? The RA bonus was removed, and I thought the cooldown reduction was removed a while ago? Not to say a fifth man with an STG is a bad thing, of course, the extra durability is really nice despite the damage improvement being fairly unimpressive. "Veteran Squad Leaders (New Ability) In keeping with the Infantry theme of the doctrine, the following ability has been created. This ability provides Wehrmacht line infantry with a five-man upgrade in the case of Pioneers and Grenadiers to increase durability and potency. Panzergrenadiers can be upgraded with a support package to provide support capabilities. -Requires 2 CPs -Pioneers can be upgraded to a 5 man squad for 30 munitions. -Grenadier squad can be upgraded to 5 men for 60 munitions. -The Grenadier squad leader has a transferable G43 and grants a -15% reduction on weapon cooldowns, ~~-10% received accuracy~~ and reduces the cost of Medical Kits to 0 munitions. This upgrade locks out the MG42 upgrade." "Received Accuracy bonus from Veteran Squad Leader removed" "Veteran Squad Leader G43 exchanged for Volksgrenadier StG 44" (No accuracy bonus, contrary to a claim) In: COH2 Gameplay
