Thread: Counter Sherman Easy 8 as OKW 4 Jul 2018, 21:03 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2018, 20:51 PMphilohara Hi, thanks for replies. I play mostly 2v2s. blvckdream, I'll look at the stats. Even tho I play CoH since 2011 (vcoh back in the days), I'm sure I can always learn. LoopDloop, While I agree their main gun isnt the best VS inf, it can still inflict serious damage to Raketen. I've tried double, even triple, and most of the time they just flank them after taking only minor damage (which is of course what you'd do if an AT is targeting your tank). RNG is definitely crazy sometimes. I'll try to position Reketens so they can counter attack on Shermans flanks when they advance. I guess my skills need to be improved. Yeah the best way to avoid that would be keeping volks in the vicinity to snare the easy 8s before they can get that close. You want to keep them away from your raketens so they don't do as much damage and aren't able to flank them. Smart mine placement will also do the trick but having volks around to snare is critical against aggressive medium tank play. Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2018, 20:55 PMStug life JP4 is ur answer to anything classified as not-heavy tank Also this. Everyone always forgets jp4s exist but they're a great unit. Again, make sure they don't get flanked like your raketens by keeping snares around. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Counter Sherman Easy 8 as OKW 4 Jul 2018, 20:28 PM Easy 8s' main guns aren't super good against infantry, so the raketen is actually your best bet; I would even make 2 of them instead of getting a second schreck. The bouncing you had is most likely just bad rng for you, raketens should be able to penetrate the easy 8 fairly reliably. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Second Commander Rework4 Jul 2018, 18:30 PM I'm surprised not that many people said airborne company. Other than p47s it feels pretty lackluster because of callin timing and the fact that 40% of its abilities are just more expensive versions of vanilla team weapons (which is useful but its no valiant assault or time on target (point is they take the place of more useful abilities in a commander that already has 2 callin infantry).

Thread: GCS2 Citadel faction win rate2 Jul 2018, 19:23 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2018, 19:04 PMCieZ Sure, but I don’t think we need statistically significant evidence to conclude that UKF is weak. I mean... does even a single player in the top 50 think Brits are the strongest faction right now? As for why Sov got better, my take is that people have gotten better at mitigating the Puma, thus they’re better at making it to the later stages of the game where Sov t4 starts to dominate Ost - especially Ost t3, especially especially when mark and t34/85s are involved. Also despite it not being statistically significant, there is no grey area to the numbers that the tournament showed for ukf. They hardly even got picked and out of the 15 games they did get picked, they only won twice. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF - Early 2018 1v1 tournament meta2 Jul 2018, 18:20 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2018, 01:02 AMTobis Recon support will be used way way less now that the greyhound anti vehicle is nerfed and the 222 buffed. It was literally the best doctrine with every ability being fantastic; it's about normal now. It seems like it's still one of the only doctrines that complements Lt starts really well though.

Thread: UKF Emplacement Rework2 Jul 2018, 16:58 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2018, 16:55 PMSander93 A flame or bundle grenade does not kill entire garrisons. Running into a Bofors can't always be avoided in the 3v3/4v4 corridor maps. Investing 540-560mp into indirect fire just to counter a single Bofors leaves you vulnerable to other Allied light vehicle rushes. So no thanks, I'd rather not see spamable Bofors all over the map in 3v3/4v4s. 2 flame nades then. In teamgames they're even less of a problem as you can just use indirect fire (just like in 1v1) but to a higher magnitude since your teammates can help too. I play a lot of teamgames as axis since most of my friends prefer it and that's what we do against emplacements. I've never once felt like I wasn't able to counter them fairly easily. You don't need a ton of indirect to beat 1 bofors and if they get pits you do, but you're killing a lot more than you're paying for (and you still have it afterwards). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: UKF Emplacement Rework2 Jul 2018, 16:30 PM I really like this idea. Just for further clarity, are you proposing that it be like the current garrisoning system in live where the whole squad sits in it as a separate entity (like they do in buildings) or something like ye olde Coh1 emplacements or the okw base flak cannons? Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2018, 16:42 PMSander93 A garrison doesn't fire back with high squad-wiping potential and light vehicle damage. It could work for mortars and 17 pounders (still has the same cost-efficiency problem though) but definitely not for the Bofors because of its self-defense potential. If they are changed to work this way all it would take is smoke and a flamenade/bundled nade or just mortar barraging. It wouldn't be very hard. If you're running your infantry and light vehicles into a bofors it's frankly an l2p issue as there are many other ways to destroy it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Should UKF get one or more of their doctrinal tools non-doc?1 Jul 2018, 18:20 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2018, 08:13 AMVipper That was a simply sing typo. From * to -. What swordfisch claimed was that they did not get the accuracy/CD bonus anymore which they do. And actually my original point was that having access to 2 auras (Air-landing officer/Command vehicle) would make unit broken and it would. I'm pretty sure airlanding officer does not have an aura. Unless you're talking about the ability. In: COH2 Balance
