The 222 needs remodeled badly, it's probably the worse model in the game right now. Some models have quirks or mistakes, but the 222 is flat out fiction territory. It's a mix of the real-life 221 and 222, and about the size of a semi-truck.
The car is a model from CoH1, back then Relic didn't care so much about authenticity and probably used google images for references, which. What likely happened was the designer accidentally used a mix of 221 and 222 photographs for reference. The scale is also way off, it should be about the size of the USF Ambulance. Here's a real 222 with some German soldiers standing next to it for scale:
Always ostheer. More fun to have a bunch of different units all come together to make a big push.
I like Ostheer but I don't like how there's literally nothing between 222 and StuG. And the 222 is a weird unit that was initially designed as a counterpart to the M3 Scout Car, but is now trying to match up to the T-70 and M5 Light Tank, and fails miserably at this. A Panzer III in T2 unlocked by Phase 3 would be amazing, but it'll never happen.
Single SU-76 barrage is not a problem, but when you have few tank destroyers at your disposal and you use it all at once then that's a different story hence proposed small munition cost.
So it's only useful when massed, and you want to nerf people using it massed. Sounds like you just don't want to deal with the barrage, even though it's probably the worst barrage weapon in the game at this time.
And with the new patch, quad won't be able to give 251/17 main gun destroyed.
I'd also say that 120 muni is worth more then 15 fuel, so combined cost of quad is between 251/17 and M-15.
The Quad can also fire on the move and reinforce, that's also worth more than 15 fuel.
And people people were naysaying, the Quad just won 10/10 in my tests.
The only way an M5 can lose to an OKW Flak HT is if the OKW Flak HT is vet 1, uses defensive smoke, and attacks ground on the M5.
Wrong, I've tested it in Cheat Mod. The Quad has a good chance to kill the 251/17. The fight could go either way.
Often what happens is the 251/17 will suffer Main Gun Destroyed, giving the Quad an easy victory. Due to a bug, if the Quad gets Main Gun Destroyed, nothing will happen and it will keep fighting.
Soviets, although their infantry are lacking they have a fairly solid array of weapons and Commanders. USF is weak and Axis have to deal with Allied cheese like T0 Scout Cars or the Quad.
What? OKW Flak HT loses against M5? Have you been eating mushrooms or what?
Do you ever play the game or do you just complain about how allied units are UP even when they're OP?
Yes, the Quad has a good chance at winning against a 251/17, and that's if the 251/17 is already set up. If it's not set up, it's a guaranteed victory for the Quad.
I'm pretty sure that if you want to win tournament games in OCF as USF you better have Rifle Company. This simple fact makes all of this stuff (organizing a tournament, claiming coh2 is not P2W) so much more difficult than it needs to be.
That's not because Rifle Company is good, that's because USF is bad.
