Thread: Sniper Scout Car Rush - Needs Review27 Jun 2013, 16:02 PM Just adding my own replay into the issue of soviet sniper/scout car combo. I was able to somewhat counter this build but at great difficulty and not without losing 6 gren squads who were all sniped on the retreat. Many of the squad members retreating were at full individual health but were still sniped by 3 sniper squads. A t1 counter to the sniper/scout car is made unrealistic with the range of the panzerfaust, and a t2 rush into 222 scout car is easily countered by guards. In: Replays
Thread: Sniper Scout Car Rush - May Need Review27 Jun 2013, 15:57 PM Just encountered this strat on Moscow Outskirts and was able to defeat it, although with some difficultly and only because my Soviet opponent made some mistakes during the midgame. The Soviet build eventually culminated in 3 sniper squads, 1 scout car and 4 guards. The reduced range of the faust really makes any t1 counter to the sniper/scout car combo unrealistic, forcing me to tech into 2 222's of my own which were taken out by the guards in very little time. The long retreat paths also turned my grens into nice targets on their retreat path and I ended up losing 7 squads throughout the early game mostly on their retreat paths. I've played plenty of vCoH as well as CoH2 and am by no means a new comer to the game, and its very rare that I lose more than 1 gren squad per 1v1 game. Something is definitely off with the mechanics of sniper/scout car, and the gimmicky effect is magnified when fielded in larger numbers. In: Replays
Thread: Balance Patch 17 Jun 2013, 13:33 PM I think we have to remember that people are playing and talking about different match ups. I haven't played much 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 since patch so I can't speak of any issues in regards to those games. What I do know, however, is that in all of my 1v1 matches since, I have had the exact same problem as Ostheer as mentioned before. I.e. Heavy micro required early game to preserve grens, being forced to go Jagerinf doc for G43/camo. When the T34's hit the field I've already expended at least 60 munitions for grenades/flamethrower to root Russ out from his "hit the dirt", a free ability and grens won't be able to faust as much for the PaK guns to hit and kill the T34. The T34's nice armor buff doesn't help either as it can now sit in front of a PaK for a good deal longer as the mass of Russ inf attempt to flank(similar to StuG pre-patch). Due to my early game slight disadvantage and being forced to go Jager Inf, by the time my lauded Pz4 comes around, the Russ player already either has a second T34 or more. As many Russ players know, any two T34's can now easily knock out or disable ANY German tank quite easily with a ram. PaK guns can't do much to deter this anymore since the Ostheer player will be sorely lacking on AT once the Pz4, an AT Tank gets its gun destroyed and now the surviving T34 is free to rape and pillage even with a damaged engine from a faust.
