Thread: Penal Battalions9 Aug 2013, 01:32 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Aug 2013, 23:01 PMAbdul Do they actually do double the damage, or do they have lower accuracy or something that lowers their fighting value? So they can't stand against PG even with better damage? Just used this. Don't know how accuracy factors into it. [GUIDE] COH2: List of infantry weapons by damage per second (DPS) In: COH2 Gameplay

Plus flamer upgrade. Plus Satchels rule, as mentioned. Plus you can reinforce them for the same price as a conscript using Merge and they incur no deficit unlike other squads. Penal Battalion rules 1.9 x damage compared to conscipts actually In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Russian Combined Arms (2v2) is a bit strong...6 Aug 2013, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2013, 20:32 PMCyridius You know someone doesn't play when they suggest Schreks as the primary counter to SU-85s. I never suggested they where a primary counter, just one of many that can be used and the easiest to get when a su-85 first appears if you have pgrens. The amount of jumping to conclusions you guys do is pretty sad. I play everyday and win most of my games, I play both sides. There are counters to snipers and su-85's, individually they can countered by the other sides counters, but together (used right) they can deter or sometimes outright defeat your opponents stuff.

Thread: Russian Combined Arms (2v2) is a bit strong...6 Aug 2013, 20:45 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2013, 19:34 PMDoomlord52 The P4 hit the field at the same time (actually a few seconds later) than his SU85. An ostwind costs the same, so it wouldn't have made a difference. The PIV was in hopes of taking out the one SU85 they had at that point. As for commander, I went for the elephant, and my teammate went for the PAK43. The problem is, the elephant costs 5 points, and at the time the SU85 hit, I had about 3.75. Even then, the fuel cost is so high, and with the snipers and SU85s they pushed us off the fuel very quickly. The same problem exists with the PAK. It's 4 points, costs a lot, can be sniped, killed by fire-bombs and so on. Even then, he managed to start building one, but it simply got rushed (it was just outside the base). Also, we went T1-3 and T2-3. Axis T4 is simply too weak (SU85 beats Panther head-on, especially with +10% range bs bulletin) and too expensive to be viable. My main problem with the strategy isn't that it's good combination; it's that there's literally NO viable counter. Axis infantry and AT guns get melted by snipers, and the snipers being 2-man can't be counter-sniped, while the SU85 (+10% range bulletin) out ranges literally everything. After that game we farmed (1v1) the Scoutcar bulletins (range, HP, damage), and we'll be trying that, but still; countering a strategy should not require farming absolutely insane bulletins, and then having them equipped the entire time. There is window in early game to counter snipers before guards come out (which you should be able to do at least some what if one of you went fast tier 2) if you don't then you have problems later, even then later on you have arty and mortars, not spammed but as a combined force with the rest of your army. There are counters. Are some bulletins a little too good? Yes but both sides have op bulletins so that is just the nature of auto matching, and hopefully relic will deal with them at some point in a future patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Russian Combined Arms (2v2) is a bit strong...6 Aug 2013, 20:24 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2013, 16:12 PMThe Dave Play a lot of Axis games? Tier 4? What exactly in T4 screams "I CAN BEAT AN SU 85!!!!" - a Brumbar? - A Panther? Lol - maybe you're referring to the nebel? Ya I've played more German then soviets, I don't beat su-85's with panthers (pather's are buffer not answer), and in my last week of playing 2v2 (didn't play any just 1v1 before) I've only lost one game as Germans and that was more due to the map of Minsik and we didn't completely throw our opponent off the map, and in particular their fuel and the fact neither me or my ally had any arty and the other team did, then su-85's although it certainly didn't help. There are so many ways to kill su-85's that don't even require tanks it isn't funny, add in tanks and su-85 looks eh to me outside coming on field before (if it does come before) I have any counters to it, which being that I am going t2 is shrecks which crush su-85's. Having both players spam p4's isn't a very good idea in a 2v2 you need combined arms to cover each others weaknesses. Through combined arms you deal with problems you don't charge head first going I'm going to kill you su-85! In: COH2 Balance

Thread: how we exactly counter sniper and guard spam combo 6 Aug 2013, 16:03 PM ...and then the patch after that they will make up with you whiny Germans. on a more serious note you need to use combined arms to combat Russian sniper, mortars, sc, your own snipers possibly depending on your build, ht to reinforce units in field. Don't build p-grens and when you get armor you should get an ostwind assuming your opponent doesn't already have an su-85(at which point you need some form of dedicated at to prevent su-85 from just killing your base) and even then an ostwind is still fine if you use it like you would a t-70 vs. a p4 just play keep away. Ostwinds are great vs. heavy guards play, p4's are crap vs. it or simply play with a heavy gren build skip tier 2 and rush ostwind, all depends on what variation of build your opponent uses. Realize that if they go with a lot of snipers and gaurds they aren't going to have a lot of units, just a few power units your going to need to play carefully with yours because theirs are stronger not saying it isn't hard to deal with in the hands of a good player but it is counterable In: COH2 Balance
