Thread: Panther overnerfed10 Jun 2014, 22:23 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2014, 20:45 PMJHeartless You compared the HPs as justification of the entire unit. That is false logic. I corrected you. You are not comparing apples to apples. Simple as that. Performance is independent of cost. If the Panther was a single call in for the same price as a T34/85 it would win every time. Because its a superior unit. Simple as that. Its not superior its a dedicated TD. And dedicated units should be really good at what they are doing as represent a severe risk buying them.

A username I created because I played over 7000 games as a Wehrmacht player in coh 1 and the thousands of hours invested in researching and reading about the Wehrmacht in ww2. I do not think I am an expert. You do not need to be an expert to understand basic concepts like flanking with a squad in the coh world. On the contrary I am a staunch defender of the german factions. The previous shit patches caused an influx of no talent, no skill one click lemmings to flood the ost player base. Now that the german faction is getting closer to a respectable faction all the cry babies are having troubles coming to grips with reality. But we are not there yet. Just have to fix a few abilities that continue to hold players hands and give them get out of jail free cards. Aka rifle nades. http://allworldwars.com/Small-Unit-Actions-During-German-Campaign-in-Russia.html#237 Here do some reading yourself and learn how real german company commanders actually used squad tactics. Also read the report about the peculiarities of the russian fighting force written by a general. It will help you understand the design concepts of the german and russian factions in the game.

Thread: Teching and call ins. 10 Jun 2014, 15:51 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2014, 13:33 PMKatitof Thank you for confirming yet again that last time you've seen soviets up close was during intro. KV-1 at its current stats can deal only with P4 and even that is fully RNG based. Or in other words, P4 have MORE chance to win against KV-1 frontally, then T34/76 have to win against P4. KV-1 is a slow, not at all durable(nerfed HP by a HUGE amount, KV-1 have less hp them T34/85, increased AT on everything) tank with a gun that belongs to flanking vehicle, yet its unable to flank anything. In its current state, KV-1 is reliable only against an Ostwind and nothing more, while T34/76 is a game against all tanks due to its speed, so think again before calling it superior. Now, when it comes to all other call-ins that actually ARE effective, instead of increasing their CP, which will change nothing, increase their fuel price so they can't be spammed as easily and loosing one can actually be felt instead pumping one tiger after another. Amazing how you can be wrong on so many issues with so few words. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther overnerfed10 Jun 2014, 15:41 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jun 2014, 14:24 PMJadame! Minus teching cost. Panther needs some buffs, but it is indeed very tricky unit to balance. Maybe indirect nerfs for call-ins, small blitz buff (in current form blitz is just useless) and little fuel cost reduction will help? Do not forget its AI capabilities. t-34 are simply excellent at destroying AI . Dedicated counters should be far more cost effective then the generalist tanks as you are taking a huge risk with it.

Thread: Worst balance ever . soviet domination9 Jun 2014, 15:24 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2014, 13:36 PMThoseDeafMutes So petty squabling and shittalking aside, are we in agreement that Soviets are too effective in the current patch? Not only in the sense that they are overall stronger, but they have a higher number of viable strategies and a more diverse meta as a result. Safe for the mines the soviets are well balanced. Its more that several german units are under performing. The p4 has to high a scatter . stug has an identity crisis and the panther is inefficient. however the tiger is keeping german late game together. the m3 and maxim are balanced but the scout car comes out to late and gives the soviets a bit to much power early game. other minor issues are the snipers lack of armor the pg's being cost ineffective and the mg42 lack of suppression to the maxim. all of these things only need minor tweaks In: COH2 Balance

It's great fun, but it's pretty much stretching the fantasy stuff. Much of the Japanese equipment park are prototypes. well its not that coh 2 adheres to 100% historical accuracy. after all we got pershings ostwinds and p2 lynx which where nearly unavailable In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.9 Jun 2014, 10:30 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2014, 02:28 AMwehrwolfzug That is exactly my argument and thank you for finally figuring it out. Why do anything else than rifle nade. That is why I had listed rifle nade as an issue that currently impacts the use of pg. As for the short pack up time on the mg, the cone is extremely small at close range and not an issue as the bundle nade will be tossed and wiping the squad before it scratches the pg. You do not need Oorah to flank. It helps but you don't need it. Everyone flanked just fine vcoh. There was no Oorah. As yes duel shreks into side or rear of a tank will devastate it. Chances are if you can get flank shot on the side or rear it will crit and you will be in position to deliver anther two shots if need be most times. So yes I do agree with you grenadiers are very effective. And as a result they perform too well and the impact of pg may seem less because of this. However it does not mean pg are terrible or useless. They are grenadiers with a different load out that provide more flexibility and can be upgraded to the best at infantry in the game. This is not theory.... This is the abc's and 123 's of coh tactics 101 Ugh your trying to present yourself as some coh expert. but anybody that issues with riflenade oe the maxims small cone basically says he has micro issues. and since your completely derailing the thread im done talking about it. And WTH do you mean with shrek crits? crits are determined by the health of the tank not what weapons are used. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.9 Jun 2014, 01:57 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2014, 01:29 AMwehrwolfzug Once again pg work great at their role. One bundle nade will almost sqaud wipe an at gun, support team or infantry squad. The assault rifles will Finnish what's left in about a second. Duel shrecks will make waste to any armor you attack from the side or rear. If you attack frontally, well that's a player issue and it is not a balance issue. The killing power of pg easily are worth their cost. Every time you use pg squad correctly you get squad wipes or tank kills usually followed with some vet. Even if you lose two models that's a pretty good return on investment if you ask me. If a lowly conscript squad can get a flank on a mg gun and toss a Molotov without Oorah, why is it so hard for ost players to get a pg squad to flank and toss a bundle nade? Heck you can even use the vet one sniper shot to stun a mg and then frontally attack with pg. One bundle nade will pay for pg in mp taken. Retreat and heal up and use your now vetted and more effective pg. I have listed many ways to ues pg effectively but you keep saying how terrible they are. It is a complete lie and fabrication of the truth..... Lots of theory but little very little works in practice. Shreks as you say do not lay waste to armor. they work well with paks and tanks as additional support but do not expect shreks to work without additional AT. Flanking is if you pull it of is nice. if you fail you lose a bucket load of mp. so why not send pio's with a flamer or assault grens to minimize the risk. If you havent noticed the difference between the packup time and setup time of the mg42 and maxim is huge. a maxim can redeploy itself under 2 seconds but a mg42 need 5 seconds not to mention scripts have oorah which makes flanking much easier. Once again you show a disturbing lack on ingame knowledge. and why blow 45 ammo on the sniper ability when a riflenade works just as well. and a lmg squad in cover works better against a maxim then a pg's does with less risk of suppression and manpower loss involved In: COH2 Balance

They did after they hopped out of the HT. PG"S threw a bundle nade which you dodged but then you made a micro error and attacked the HT. In: COH2 Balance
