Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies7 Jun 2014, 03:15 AM Nice observations. I'm hoping standard Grenades is more of a thing with OKW. OH's weakness is they have no normal Grenade, it's a shame. In: Lobby

The KT takes about a dozen point blank hits to the rear by the T-34/85s before it goes down. It's probably best to use it like an assault gun and supported like one, too. I saw Front armor hits bounce and do zero damage. Its movement speed: It's faster and more maneuverable than ISU/elefant but slower than Tiger & IS-2. Gunfire damage? It penned a T-34/85 and took 1/3rd health away. I'm guessing damage is 240-160. OKW lacks indirect fire and suppression. I can only think of the Walking stuka, which is not shown. The 75mm ID is long ranged but seems to have less firepower and accuracy than I anticipated. This pretty much makes the call-in HMG MG-34 pretty important. Suppression yeah, they only seem to have the Kubelwagen as far as we've seen. No telling how the MG 34 will perform. In real life the MG 34 was just a slower 42, and the 42 in game isn't impressive, sooo. In: Lobby

I was studying the kubelwagen, and i noticed that it was only driving around and the experience bar was going up by 1% per second. Okay, that was a random estimate, but it was easily noticeable! When's that? Because I went back and looked and I don't see it. I even took pictures at 7:33 and 7:50 and overlayed them, but there's no difference. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies7 Jun 2014, 00:29 AM Yeah I don't argue that it's a bad thing, but there's a clear divide in the naming scheme of the new and old factions, and I just prefer consistency. And it doesn't need to be in Cyrillic, it could still be anglicized but the point is it's not in Russian, while new unit names are obviously in German. As for the name Obersoldaten, my German friend tells me it doesn't have a direct translation into English, but tried to describe them as "higher-ranked" or "more important" soldiers. Makes sense for OKW either way. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies6 Jun 2014, 23:59 PM Does anyone else realise that the names of units are less anglicized in the new faction? For example, you have "Obersoldaten" instead of "Top Soldiers" (Did they mean Veteran or Elite? ). Whereas on the other hand, "Shock Troops" aren't called "Shturmovaya Voyska". In: Lobby

Thread: The Western Front Armies and CoH2 future6 Jun 2014, 19:50 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2014, 18:52 PMTristan44 A co-belligerent army would be cool. A mix of Italian and Romanian and Hungarian troops and doctrines. Since it would be hard to implement these armies individually we could combine them. I actually thought about that yesterday. Romania supplied the most troops but Hungary had and Italy had their own armour, although it was mostly shit quality, so they'd have to rely on German tech in the late game. The strongest thing they had among them was when the Romanians removed the turret from a Czechoslovakian Light Tank and put a ZiS-3 (captured in large numbers during the invasion) ontop.

Thread: The Western Front Armies and CoH2 future6 Jun 2014, 18:34 PM It'd be neat if they could do Germans, Italians, French, and British in Africa. But it'd have to be separated from the base game. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.6 Jun 2014, 06:50 AM The biggest problem with Panzergrenadiers is cost vs effectiveness. Yes they're usable, no they aren't performing well for their cost. In: COH2 Balance
