Thread: IS-2 Frontal Armor 30 Jul 2014, 20:19 PM Still, the frontal armor issue with the IS-2 doesn´t seem to be that uncommon. In that engagement a lone IS-2 escapes the crossfire of a King Tiger, Raketenwerfer and Schreck - sidehits on short range included. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiaIlJmrJ14&list=UUyUcNdOxXcVt3o9eZKdza9w#t=30m0s In: COH2 Balance
Thread: ISU-15230 Jul 2014, 17:00 PM Wow, right when I expected that the thread was necroed for some ingame discussion purpose... Here is the historic part: Here is the on topic: Let me bring this ontopic, because I wanted to know about the ISU-152 in the recent patch (which I thought the necro was about). It received some increased scatter I think in that patch after the 70 range nerf. So how is it now? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IS-2 Frontal Armor 30 Jul 2014, 16:41 PM I just wish the IS-2 got its slower rate of fire and more alpha damage (240) back. The tanks feel way too mirrored with the same damage and similar rof. In: COH2 Balance

Try flanking next time, like every one else. I´m fine with its frontal armor. Flanking is part of the game. But if Panzer IV shots constantly bounce off the the rear and side, the armor values are bullshit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: There has never been a worse time to be a Wehrmacht player.29 Jul 2014, 11:49 AM While I agree that Wehr is the hardest faction atm. you are exaggerating. The only thing that needs fixing is T4, Panzergrenadiers, StuGs and the doctrinal Elefant and Pak43. Good: The MG42 is sufficient imo. So are Grens with the LMG upgrade. Paks are the best AT gun. Bad: Brummbär, Panther, Panzerwerfer. Did the StuG get a nerf btw.? It can hardly hit infantry any longer. Pak43 and Elefant need more range. Then the game is perfect. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Easy Eight28 Jul 2014, 12:13 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jul 2014, 11:31 AMKatitof I've got an idea. Mirror its AoE and scatter to that of a panther. Change nothing more. No more "just an upgrade over normal sherman" but rather durable "tank hunter" akin to panther. Are you serious? Nobody would use it. People like to hit things with their units. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied Medium Tanks Overperforming/too spammable?27 Jul 2014, 21:00 PM What exactly is the difference between vet0 OKW and Ost Panther? Wouldn´t it make more sense that the one with higher teching cost was more effective? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied Medium Tanks Overperforming/too spammable?27 Jul 2014, 15:33 PM I totally agree with austerlitz there. The 50 range argument sounds like an excuse. The only time you can actually use that without risking a spotting unit to get wiped, is on the defensive with doctrinal scopes. That being said I much rather prefer to build two Paks or two StuGs for defensive duties. The Panther is a shit tank, that can´t attack. Nerf its range to 40 and give it useful stats.

Except I´m doing that. You are totally ignoring that the IS-2 performs like 300% better versus infantry than the Panther. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Allied Medium Tanks Overperforming/too spammable?27 Jul 2014, 10:56 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2014, 02:03 AMCrysack Should it really? You're talking about a 490/175 tank winning against 740/260 worth of armour or, in the case of two E8s, 760/270 worth of armour. You can make the argument that the teching cost needs to be factored in, but the Soviets and US are typically going to tech to T3/T4 anyway out of necessity. I think it should. Microing a Panther should be rewarded. Keeping the frontal armor at the enemy doesn´t help you much. The Panther takes a lot of damage this way. It should go down when flanked and that should be encouraged, rather than parking medium tanks in front of it. The cool thing about the CoH series is that the roles of hard counters and smart gameplay matter more than the price (at least most of the time). If I was to build two Panzer IVs (700mp/260 fuel) and park them in front of an IS-2 (640mp/ 245 fuel) without any micro, they would lose the fight. Why not the same with the Panther, which btw. can´t handle infantry as well as other tanks? In: COH2 Balance
