Thread: UKF - Know your commanders22 Aug 2015, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2015, 19:52 PMRollo Croc has larger range because it has no turret for the flamer and costs an arm and a leg It has a 75mm Gun Turret though. In: Lobby
Thread: SU76 - Free Barrage22 Aug 2015, 20:31 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2015, 13:04 PMhubewa True, but then again SU-76s were mostly fighting against P4s which were far more reliable and easier to repair than Panthers and Tigers (which probably broke down en route because.... Germans ^^) - that and it had a very versatile role on the battlefield. SU-76's fought everything, StuGs, Panzer IVs, Panthers, Tigers. For Panthers it just needed to hit the side or rear to kill it. For Tigers, they have APCR and HEAT rounds to increase their chances of a kill. It was less likely, but at close range (APCR) or a good hit (HEAT) they could break through the armour and knock it out. Difference is in real life they only needed to penetrate the Tiger once for it to not become a threat. In CoH2, they need to do it 9 times, so rushing up to close range is a death sentence.

Thread: USF and potential suggestions for its Design22 Aug 2015, 19:28 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2015, 12:48 PMZupadupadude Who's to say the Calliope will actually be able to use its gun though? What's the point of having a Sherman with Rockets on it if it can't even Sherman? At that point you could just have a 2½-ton cargo truck with Rockets on it like the Xylophone. In: Lobby
Thread: USF and potential suggestions for its Design22 Aug 2015, 11:12 AM I really don't like the idea of a Calliope in CoH2. It goes against all the designs for Artillery in the game thus far. Fragile, and unable to defend itself. The Calliope would be both durable and able to defend itself against infantry and vehicle attacks. And after it forces the infantry away, it can barrage the retreat point to wipe 'em. And counter-barraging would be ineffective because it's a medium tank, not exactly vulnerable to any Artillery. It's just too much in one package. Plus the price, if we compare it's performance to the Sherman and Katyusha and get a price from that, it could easily reach 200 fuel. So if you only wanted artillery you're getting the short end of the stick. A Xylophone would be better: same rockets but mounted on a 2½-ton cargo truck. In: Lobby
Thread: Sega announces free trial for CoH2: The British Forces22 Aug 2015, 11:07 AM My only problem with it is that it's not part of the core game. With my net, it's not worth it to download 30gb, it'd take me a day. In: Lobby
Thread: SU76 - Free Barrage22 Aug 2015, 09:10 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2015, 00:29 AMhubewa SU-76 wasn't really fulfilling by 1944 Actually, 1944 was the year more than half of SU-76's were produced. They were used as Assault Guns, Artillery, and Tank Destroyers. I suppose giving it the pre-July StuG's stats would be more accurate to its role. In: COH2 Balance

They're named "Urban Assault Light Infantry" and they're a 4-man squad with MP 40's, Smoke Grenades, and Panzerfaust. They're superior to Assault Engineers, but not to Shock Troops. In: Lobby
Thread: Ostheer Sniper ROF22 Aug 2015, 04:27 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2015, 11:29 AMRMMLz I have a question though, if the problem for Ost sniper is his insta-wipe potential, can't they just add some kind of explosion resistance factor to his stats? Is it technically possible? This way they can nerf his HP. Probably, but they could also just increase his target size so that he's easier to shoot. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF and potential suggestions for its Design22 Aug 2015, 00:26 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2015, 23:57 PMCabreza Add a "76mm barrel" upgrade to the Major Tier that gives all Sherman tanks a 76mm barrel (similar to lend lease) in exchange for removing the ability to use HE shells. I disagree with this, you shouldn't lose the ability to make 75mm Shermans. In: Lobby
Thread: USF and potential suggestions for its Design21 Aug 2015, 23:49 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2015, 22:45 PM__deleted__ At gun to t1? That is a tad to much in my opinion. No it isn't, of all the support weapons, USF should not have to choose between AT Gun or no AT Gun. In: Lobby
