Not too much to add to what has already been said.
While not the same, as OH you have some commanders with camouflage + sprint, so you can use it on PG, so you can try to fight fire with fire. I wouldn't choose it as a counter but more as a reminder that you have that possibility.
I don't get what the balance team has against OH. Every allied Elite is crazy OP(except guards) yet when they design OH unit they think about balance for some reason. |
Both true, but right now, when compared to Jaeger, Fortication doctrine doesn't look very attractive and even if one has it they would most likely still stick with Jaeger. I mean of all the Elephants you encounter, how many of those came from Fortification? I'm pretty sure it's less than 1%. Called 'fortification' or not, that doctrine needs an extra something over Jaeger, or Jaeger needs something less.
The main reason why you see Ele's from Jager is everybody has Jager Armor doctrine and no one is gonna pay or grind for a commander that does virtually the same |
Imo one ability from Jaeger armor should be swapped with an ability from Fortified armor (the other elephant doctrine), something that nerfs Jaeger, but makes Fortified equally as interesting.
Right now Jaeger has all the good stuff, spotting, recon and offmap, while Fortified has only the recon. Sure, they have hull down, smoke and cp4, but it's all too defensive, can't go as offensive as Jaeger can.
Edit: even Festung armor could be involved in this swapping around, as this doctrine lacks any recon option. It could receive either the scope or the recon plane from jaeger. Fortification mean defensive so I don't get why it should have attacking stuff. There is also 1 more factor at play here, Everyone has Jeager Armor doctirne but you need to purchase or grind for Fortified Armor which means people are not gonna go out and get Fort Armor just for the ELE. |
Eye of sauron recon is really shitty, both UKF And OKW flares should be reworked.
LOL |
Wehrmacht That name is reserved for coh1 non panzer elite axis faction. |
So Su85 get instead selfstun abillity, or non-doc camo?
Sure why not. Though then IL2 AT strafe might get nerfed to death if su85 gets stun. |
Even a Puma can flank and easily kill an unguarded SU-85, it needs extended vision. Guess what a T70(AEC would be a better comparison) can also flank and easily kill things like stugs and JP4's. Thats not really grounds for needing less combined arms. |
OKW Spec Ops flare is likely getting adjusted next patch, so that should solve most of the issue.
Nooo.... I guess axis can't good stuff at all. |
Every single 3v3 has Jäger Armour in it, the balance patch tried to fix this but totally failed at achieving its goal.
Balance teams goals wasn't to make Jaeger armor less meta or decrease it's prevalence but to make it not counter everything by it self. |
The vision ability just got nerfed in the patch to 65 vision range.
True, but a little less being self sufficient would be nice. But idk I just asked a question. |
