Thread: A flame problem20 Mar 2014, 13:46 PM I am fine with a slight nerf as long as it comes out earlier than a Panther. Wasnt that the problem with Guards? They came too early and that meant light vehicles shouldnt be built? Let say 7CP? 20 damage per shot and 800 HPs (So it can still take as many shots from obnoxious Elephants and Pak 43s) Its main use if you tech and dont cheese is to punish Shrek Squads. Since the T34 and T70 have been destroyed in this regard (i love the idea of a flanking kiting tank that cant flank nor kite well but i digress) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IS2 are you kidding me?20 Mar 2014, 01:01 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Mar 2014, 00:37 AMwooof what makes the is2 only good vs tanks while the tiger is great? people completely blow the is2s slower RoF out of proportion. its main gun does 26 dps per second, compared to the tigers 30.5. the fact it does 50% more damage per shot almost completely offsets its slower RoF, and is actually an advantage if you take a single shot, then reverse away. combine that with 170 pen compared to the tigers 154, 325 front armor compared to 300, and 4.5 max speed compared to 3.9, and i would say the is2 is great against tanks as well. And its 960 HPs vice 1280 lets not omit that little fact... It dies to things like the Elephant and Pak 43 just as fast as a KV1, KV8 and even the 800 HP T34/85 (three shots to do more than 800 damage correct me if I am wrong) In: COH2 Balance

Thread: A flame problem19 Mar 2014, 18:59 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2014, 16:59 PMZ3r07 Exactly, KV-8 plus 2 or 3 ZIS and your set. I'll probably do a thread about it, I have more then 10 replays showing this. Yep lost to this very cheese. Script Spam to Zis Spam to KV8 to IS2 GG. I dont think its the KV8 thats the problem but the ability to use this strat without tech. If you tech then the KV8 is prohibitively expensive. On another note i have taken it out with Sector Artillery and a STUG.....the entire blob not just the KV8 In: COH2 Balance

Used it to clear Shrek Blobs. Very Very expensive but effective if you can keep it alive. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IS2 are you kidding me?19 Mar 2014, 18:16 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2014, 17:20 PMPorygon IS2 keep saving their noob ass. IS2 did nothing in the map but get its ass handed to it by a Panther and Brummbar. The KV8 did all the heavy lifting. This being a thread about the IS2 and evidently how OP this very expensive AI Panther is. I am sure with your German colored glasses you can find a better replay showing how OP the IS2 is. That replay is most certainly not it. I have seen good use of the IS2 and I have used it alot. I stand by my opinion that there are tools better suited to do what the IS2 does and cheaper. For example a KV8 backing up an SU85 will do MUCH better than an IS2. If the IS2 was so damn OP and the best unit out there and this HUGE problem (like the Tiger Ace was) then why isnt it prevelant everywhere? Like PPSH Con Spam? Like Elite Forces? Because its not OP thats why. Its a decent Generalist tank. That can so some amazing things some times. But over all is too pricey. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IS2 are you kidding me?19 Mar 2014, 15:15 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2014, 14:42 PMPorygon Brummbar killing Inf better than IS2? no shit dude That thing reached 50 kill count only because of the time it survived. See how many times Brummbar take a shot to a cons, only 1-2 men dead? But IS2 averagely, if you right it right, stop before it fire, should kill 3 dudes or even squad wipe. He did use the IS2 in a wrong way, it is not used to deal with Panther or Tiger, but totally rape anything lower than T4 IS2 is like Pershing, but even pwn harder than Pershing, is used to WTFpwn Inf and medium tank, not a head on unit against heavy tanks. It doesnt WTFPWN inf. It can get some lucky squad whipes. KV8 WTF pwns infantry. If allowed to sit there the Brummbar can achieve the same results much cheaper with its higher ROF. That was a beast in the hands of the German player and used properly. The IS2 killing P4s with great AI can be achieved with Two T34/85s for less resources. Not the front loaded one hit kill but the kills over all. The IS2 IS a heavy tank. It walks like a heavy tanks, talks like a heavy tanks but gets pwned like a medium tank. Like Napalm noted a Jack of All trades and master of none. Hardly worth more than a Tiger IMHO. Edit: And getting rid of one hit kills I am all for. Just give it 1280 HPs and reduce its AOE. Problem solved. It can now afford to sit there and fire more than one shot with its stupidly slow reload. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IS2 are you kidding me?19 Mar 2014, 14:27 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2014, 04:31 AMPorygon The latest cast of ImperialDane just showing how powerful and easy is that bitch doctrine and strategy. snip I DONT think this QUITE illustrates your point. What I learned or was reinforced watching this video is how PISS POOR the IS2 is as a front line tank. How easily a Panther brings it down to near death (think about the time it takes an SU85 to take a Panther down in health) How the IS2 HAS to have AT guns to back it up. How HARD it is to kill a Tiger even with 3 Vetted Zis. How much BETTER a Stupa (SturmPanzer4 Brummbar) is at killing infantry than the IS2 (due to its higher ROF not its ability to one hit squads) And how the KV8 is the best thing in the Soviet arsenal.

Thread: IS2 are you kidding me?19 Mar 2014, 13:22 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2014, 07:15 AMSorban The heading says it all. IS2 are you kidding me? The tank is so expensive! The time between the shot’s is so long. It often misses complete. Btw I never had a squad wipe with this tank since the last patch. But more often it simply misses everything. Worst thing a single panther can handle it. The cheaper Tiger also. IS2 are you kidding me? Exactly. I would see issue with it IF it was say cheaper than a Tiger (which we all know its not) It goes down so quick to Pak fire its stupid. Hell if there is a Pak 43 on the field thats three shots and a dead IS2. Not like its like the Panther (that has the same HPs) and can just warp out of danger. The problem is the Doctrine not the IS2. The IS2 is just icing on the cake. Using that strat just means the Soviet player doesnt have to pay for tech and thats the biggest advantage. Constanly pumping out units and having a counter ready for Osts counters (Pgren Blob via the KV8 and Tiger via the IS2) In: COH2 Balance
