Thread: M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer25 Jul 2014, 13:49 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2014, 13:18 PMKatitof Then replace that with LMG gren blob and PaKs. One M8 motor carriage sorts that out... or if you think 3 units makes combined arms, you could out-muscle head on with M1919s. The US has the better LMG blob, after all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer25 Jul 2014, 08:27 AM Also would just like to mention that it has more accuracy than the SU85 (or any Ostheer tank, tank destroyer or otherwise) and a smaller movement accuracy penalty than all other faction vehicles (.75 vs .5 accuracy, though it has a X1.2 cooldown multiplier on the move). It's extremely good- there's nothing the Ostheer has on tracks that can touch them pound-for-pound, not even blitz P4s. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy Eight24 Jul 2014, 23:52 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 23:39 PMbraciszek OKW starts with 40 fuel, so thats why you didnt include that, but why did you multiply by 1.5? OKW fuel penalty is 0.66% , 2 fuel for a normal 3. I thought it would be about 340 fuel. (1.3333333) If OKW gets 2 out of 3 gas units per second, would the cost of fuel units not be half as much again over the sticker price? Assuming 2 is the baseline, +1 more would be +50% of normal income... Unless I've made a very elementary math mistake, in which case I apologize... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy Eight24 Jul 2014, 23:38 PM Spec ops Panther comes just at the right time if you know your enemy is going for call in spam. It's my favourite of the Panther variants in-game for that reason. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy Eight24 Jul 2014, 23:27 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 23:19 PMBubalo Whats the total fuel cost to call one in compared to a panther? No tech, just 135 for the tank at 9CPs. Wehr Panther costs 45+50+60+35+175, or 365 if you skip every tier except 1 and 4. No CP cost. OKW Panther costs (80+175)*1.5, or 382 if you don't convert or scavenge. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy Eight24 Jul 2014, 22:29 PM Incorrect- accuracy on the move is 0.75. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy Eight24 Jul 2014, 22:04 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 21:54 PMKatitof Well, it won't reliably bounce these paks and tigers. It could get little less penetration, but I don't believe its survivability is any issue considering that US have nothing that can take hit and fight anything heavier then light tanks except this single tank. There's nothing inherently wrong with a heavy-medium or heavy US tank, it just needs to be priced accordingly and arrive at the right CP values. Whether the E8 is is debatable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther video test 1v124 Jul 2014, 21:34 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2014, 21:15 PMwooof panthers are best at max range. like shephard said, their pen is typically high enough that they dont benefit from getting closer. the enemy tanks will benefit from getting close to the panther. not moving lets tanks get close and/or get to the panthers rear armor (which is lower than most tanks). id say kiting is your best option considering the other tanks will have the same accuracy and scatter penalties. Actually since all American tanks have a 0.75 accuracy on the move, there might be a lot more merit to staying still than chasing/backpedaling/getting into a moving battle (though the M36 and M10 have a small reload penalty too it doesn't cover the bonus). Though on the bright side, the low RoF of the Panther is kind of a blessing in disguise- its fairly easy to guesstimate how long it is to the next shot and give it a stop order before it fires before resuming movement. Also it's surprising how much better the Command Panther feels just from the increased sight range. Allowing the normal Panther to spot for itself, I think, would go a long way towards making it more attractive for the Wehr faction. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther video test 1v124 Jul 2014, 21:09 PM In theory wouldn't it be better to have the Panther sit still instead of reversing/kiting an approaching tank, because of it's extremely high scatter and the 0.5 movement accuracy penalty? The difference in damage taken would seem marginal compared to the difference in shots landed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets - A core faction discussion22 Jul 2014, 10:06 AM I'm quite sure there's a lot of potential in Urban Defense and Defensive vs OKW mechanized HQ openers, since the small AT gun is sufficient to deal with all the light vehicles, the 120mm is very strong against forward trucks, and the FHQ has some niche applications... but why would I bother when shocks -> call in tanks or guard motor is so strong anyway?
