Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?4 Dec 2018, 13:06 PM I'm surprised HEAT isn't the star ability of that doctrine. I'm not sure if the surge in HEAT Pumas and Goliaths this month is going to be a good thing or a bad thing. Smoke does not protect from suppression The MG can't shoot if it can't see.

Thread: Which faction is the worst in the game? USF or UKF?4 Dec 2018, 12:26 PM USF in its current state is usually overshadowed by SOV. The reworked USF should hopefully be about on par, at least as far as 1v1 is concerned. That being said, USF'll probably always be a bit harder to play with its highly mobile play style, just like OST is usually more intensive to play than OKW. Comparing OST/OKW to SOV/USF/UKF is difficult because they face different opponents, units and vehicle timings. That, and it usually degenerates into a certain group of players wailing 'red units OP' instead of admitting their play has room for improvmement. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Okw against simcity in teamgames4 Dec 2018, 11:12 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2018, 22:22 PMDerKuhlmann Would brit be fun, if emplacements was doctrinal? You can kill nondoctrinal emplacements with LeiGs. It's the Advanced Emplacement commander's insane repairs that make them immune to a constant barrage by four LeiGs at once. I have no idea what Relic was thinking with that commander. Those repair assemblies need patching out. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?4 Dec 2018, 10:55 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2018, 06:53 AMullumulu umm..aaaannnd why have the church EXACTLY THIS smoke to run away..while have even nearly the similary surviving stats like a kt? The idea of it was it'd drive forwards into enemy lines and infantry would run up the smoke to avoid HMGs. Nobody uses it like that, but that's why it's there. You could give the KT smoke, and it would make it slightly more survivable. But that's not the buff it needs. It needs to be impactful rather than being even more of an unreliable veterancy farm for enemy TDs. Axis faction has a only low pene TDs nondoc jagdpanzer says 'why won't you love me' That thing costs and functions the same as an SU-85. If it doesn't have similar penetration already, it probably should. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?3 Dec 2018, 14:56 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2018, 14:17 PMullumulu maybe..but it would help 90% of the playerbase...and even the last 10% will benefit from it in some cases... It's doubling down on the KT's strength: it's already got so much health that it can tank several shots from tank destroyers and then roll behind an AT wall to repair. That's why it's popular in team games despite the massed enemy tank destroyers: it's difficult to destroy in a mode where units wipe in seconds. What it needs is some utility or a consistent gun.

Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?3 Dec 2018, 14:15 PM That wouldn't help it much: once you pass a certain skill level people just Attack Ground through the smoke. The KT's too big and slow to reliably dodge those manual scatter shots. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IS2- Is it worth buying?3 Dec 2018, 13:35 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2018, 13:12 PMNaOCl Strange how more people think the IS-2 is fine, yet that KT needs buffs. The IS-2's a call-in. Once you hit 13 CP it's available regardless of tech. It can bail you out if you get stuck in T3, or you can bring it in late-game if your opponent overinvests in basic mediums. The King Tiger requires you to build the remaining tier, which means the effective cost to call it in assuming you've already got your Schwerer up is over 900 MP 300 FU. That's roughly the same as two OKW Panzer IVs, which'll hit the field faster. Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2018, 13:33 PMSander93 The IS-2 does not face 60 range high pen TDs, this makes the jagdpanzer iv a sad... um.... panda doesn't work here. sad metal box on tracks?

Thread: USF vs OKW3 Dec 2018, 12:21 PM Tactically, focus down the Sturmpioneer first: it's a glass cannon that's strong at close range. With the Sturmpioneer Squad driven off, you can engage the Volks at close range where they lose. Strategically, prioritise munitions, get BARs. If I remember Jae For Jett's numbers correctly, a 1x BAR Rifleman squad outguns an STG Volksgrenadier. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?3 Dec 2018, 11:50 AM A Brummbar AoE profile would make it a very strong AI vehicle. Vet 0 Spearhead would give it a lot of utility, given Spearhead gives its MGs suppression. In: COH2 Balance
