Thread: Mortars/Indirect have broken the game8 Mar 2018, 19:22 PM Just gonna say when I play brits in 1v1 the only thing that ever holds me back is 2x ISG or 2x mortar. Anything else I'm sealclubbing day in and day out as brits. The ostheer mortar is great, but the ISG is kinda meh. Really the only issue I have with brits is the fact the mortar pit is just a failed design and is essentially crap now. I turn to the landmattress as my last resort after trying to use the 25 pounder howitzers for indirect. The mattress usually gets the job done, the howitzers are basically only good vs AFK opponets and structures. They will crush structures. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: About Jacksons8 Mar 2018, 04:01 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2018, 03:08 AMFiresparks the pershing will lose to the panther 1v1, much less the tiger and the King tiger. Statistically the pershing will win against the OKW Panther, and it's more of a draw against the ostheer panther. Pershing: Pen: 220/240/260 Armor: 300, Reload 5.5, Winddown 1, Target size: 24, Moving acc: 0.75 Ost Panther: Pen: 220/240/260, Armor: 320, Reload: 5.2/5.6, Winddown: 1, Target size: 24, Moving acc: 0.5 OKW Panther: Pen: 220/240/260, Armor: 320, Reload: 6.1/6.4 Winddown: 1, Target size: 24, Moving acc: 0.5 One of the deciding factors of this is the scatter, which in both panther cases is worse than the pershing. Another point is the HVAP round that can be used on the pershing. Which has the pen of 300/350/400. Almost guaranteed damage given you can aim. It's basically another great infantry killer the USF doesn't need. Correct. USF doesn't need more AI with 2x BARs, HE shermans, scotts and other things all performing exceptionally well. and even in 2v2 the USF are running into problem. The USF tank force might be suitable for 1v1 but they get stomped hard by axis armor in 2v2+. The jackson effectively serve as the USF's best anti-tank unit. What fact is this based on? The way I see USF currently has an issue in 2v2+ because they have zero utility till tech. They provide nothing to a team except rifleman, rifleman, rifleman etc. Vickers deals more damage in HMG house fights, and the HM38 is the best mortar currently till it receives its respectful nerfs. The M1 is overshadowed heavily by the 6 pounder. and if the USF is overpower in 1v1 there's more suitable way to address the issue beside keeping the USF tanks weak. Indeed. Many people suggested different units stats for teamgames and 1v1 units, myself included. Unless something like that occurs though, USF will suffer from horrid tech design. and regarding the E8. Despite its moving accuracy and gun there's a pretty big flow. It's the slowest medium tank in the game at 6.1 Top speed and 2.1 acceleration. The panzer 4 will out run it. The e8 is still too weak to out muscle the axis heavy and can't really flank them due to slow speed. OKW Panzer 4: Acceleration: 2 Top speed: 6 Speed honestly doesn't mean that much though. Unless you're reacting PERFECTLY 0.2 top speed won't mean anything. Diving is also significantly more risky than being able to reliable win in a slug fight. It is, but there are things you can do to make dives game ending plays. Including, scouting, smoke, and minesweeping. This is still a ww2 game. Tanks are expected to vaguely follow their IRL characteristic. Tiger and panther are expected to be great in a fight because of "realism". Vaguely yes. But that doesn't dictate whether or not the jackson should be a suitable tank destroyer or seal clubbing axis. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: About Jacksons8 Mar 2018, 03:01 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Mar 2018, 02:48 AMFiresparks the soviet have the isu-152 and the is2. As far as 1v1 is concerned, ISU isn't viable and the IS2 is too inconsistant. Similar to the new KT. the british have the comet and the churchill. (although they took a nerf hammer to the face) Forgot about those, my bad the USF have the weakest tank arsenal in entire game, including the doctrine tank. There's also the fact the Jackson was basically the USF's best anti-tank weapon in the war. The pershing was fielded in very small number. There's nothing else to give to the USF beside the super pershing. I'm not sure which doctrinal tank you're refering too. The pershing is by no standard of the word "weak" its AoE rivals that of the KT, and its veterancy is paralleled only by the Tiger. It is a phenominal tank. The Ez8s are also borderline OP. For 140F you get a 720HP, 200(?) or 215(?) armor tank that has 0.75 moving accuracy and significantly higher pen than that of standard mediums. Also doesn't have to switch between AP and HE, but the infantry damage potential is less than that of the HE sherman. As far as realism goes, it has little place when determining balance.

Thread: Disable commander abilities within a specific territory?8 Mar 2018, 02:09 AM Lemme tag eliw00d. He's a wizard when it comes to SCAR and maybe he'll have some advice. However when he gets on .org it is at his leisure I assume so I don't know when and where he'll arrive.

Thread: About Jacksons8 Mar 2018, 00:23 AM I'm confused about this "jackson is the only AT for USF" Are soviets and brits any different? Their TDs are the only heavy AT lategame. Or are we also talking about AT guns? The M1 has the best RoF and arc of any AT gun and with sabot it has the best pen of any AT gun. Yes it costs munitions, but after you bar up your rifles you start floating munis as USF. Either for p47 rocket straffe or grenades. In: COH2 Gameplay

Can we make the KT have a tactical nuke launcher that immediatly wipes out your opponets base then? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is OKW dead? what's your opinion? 7 Mar 2018, 18:55 PM It'd be good to tell us which gamemodes you're talking about. OKW volks 1 on 1 with any allied infantry aside from cons generally lose. And volks don't scale as well anymore which mean you need to substitute your infantry with something in the lategame to cover your lack of AI. Be that suppression plateforms like the flak HT or MG34s, or damage dealers like panzer 4s or Obers. In: COH2 Balance
