It seems way worse than it used to be. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Mechanic where penetration below 3% is ignored11 Oct 2015, 22:58 PM No, soft counters are way better for tactic design. (Even if they are very very soft counters) No tank should be completely invulnerable to anything, even if it deflects 97/100 shots. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet's tech tree needs to be look at11 Oct 2015, 22:55 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2015, 18:55 PMKatitof Yes, it got massively buffed. It have SU-85 penetration, 400hp and bigger cost. Its full valid light TD. Holy shit. I used it a couple times but figured I just got lucky on the penetration. (Mostly shot guys in the butt so I wasn't surprised when it penetrated.) Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2015, 18:57 PMTheSleep3r For how long haven't you been playing? Novemberish last year was the last replay I uploaded, so probably about then. Played 70 hours in the last 2 weeks or so though. So roughly a year gap. Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2015, 19:23 PMHorasu ...Why are you even giving your input on the current state of Soviet progression if you have not played since before the July patch? I've played 70 hours in the last two weeks, about 1/4 of that is with Soviets. I just never noticed a difference with the Su76 using it and never saw anyone use it against me when played Germans. (But you know, I learned a long time ago to not try and use it against medium armour so I only used it from the rear and thought I got lucky on pen) I still don't like that tech is basically linear now, I quite liked having the versatility Soviets used to have. It certainly seems like a more valid unit now. I'll have to experiment with some new build orders. In: Lobby

Scout car cost effectively counters the T70/Su76/halftrack. Puma hard counters. In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet's tech tree needs to be look at11 Oct 2015, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2015, 16:12 PMHorasu I'm not entirely sure you know what you're talking about. You're basically saying something like, "Now that Combat Engineers and Conscripts are in the same building, there is no reason to make Conscripts." It makes no sense! You need Engineers for flamers, building wire, mines, sweeping, repairing, and building. You need Conscripts for fighting and being versatile core infantry. Likewise, T-70 is a light tank that specializes in anti-infantry. You get it if you want some major harass and to try to bleed the enemy or wipe his squads, as well as transition into a late game map hack. You get the su-76 if you want a light TD to fend off your enemy's tanks and have additional barrage options for his infantry. You're not going to be running around with an SU-76 to try to wipe squads. You're not going to sit a t-70 in the back to snipe medium tanks. Situations like Soviets needing a light harassment vehicle AND protecting it with a light tank destroyer can come up and it does very often in this game. I just can't wrap my head around why you would think that, just because you have a t-70, there is no reason to increase your AT capabilities, or if you have an SU-76, you won't need a harassment / recon vehicle. The SU76 was used because it was the only option if you went t4. It's simply not good anymore because of how much the barrage has been nerfed. The T70 is such a better unit to the point qhere it completely overshadows the su76. The SU76 is a paperweight outside of its barrage ability. Its normal attack isn't much better than the T70 vs vehicles. Any vehicle a Su76 can kill a T70 can too, without being gimped vs infantry and having more independence (Recon, self repair) It stands up marginally better to medium tanks but dies in 2 hits anyway and doesn't have the range to kite so who gives a shit. What I'm saying is that the SU76 is an underperforming unit but it had situational use before to ward off halftracks/scout cars if you went t4. Now you can just use a T70 for that without economically locking yourself out of T4 units. In: Lobby
Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 11 Oct 2015, 15:46 PM If he's spending munitions on rifle smoke and grenades, he won't have much for bars/bazookas. This is where units like the flak or flame halftrack shine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: i want to go Mechanize Building11 Oct 2015, 15:34 PM Flak halftrack is really strong, good synergy with the kubel wagon as well. Puma is great too. What I recommend is getting mechanized then getting the medic truck. Don't skip to panzer. Use the flak halftrack to back up your infantry. Ignore anyone telling you there's a be all end all meta. Everything is viable. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Soviet's tech tree needs to be look at11 Oct 2015, 14:45 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2015, 06:30 AMMr. Someguy The cost was extremely prohibitive and in an even match you would not be able to get both buildings up. The old design limited you to just 8 of your 14 core units. That'a the whole point. You had to make teching decisions based on the situation. Now Soviets may as well have a fucking linear tech tree like Ostheer. In: Lobby
