Thread: Easy Eight16 Aug 2014, 06:33 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2014, 08:31 AMJaigen Are you bringing real life into this? because in real life the p4 had 80 mm frontal armor that the standard t-34 gun couldn't penetrate. Not exactly. While the upgraded version of the PIV did have 80mm worth of hull armor, which the t-34/76 could penetrate at 500m, so it wasn't all that bad. However, the PZ IV still had it's 50mm worth of armor on the turret which was not upgraded. However, we can see that the PIV that the vet 0 PIV in this game is the F2 version, which only had 50mm armor everywhere, because the PIV gets extra armor at vet 2 and turns into the H version. So at the moment, the PIV has more armor than the T-34, and with vet, EVEN more armor than the t-34. Which makes no sense. Anyways, relic acknowledged that this is a problem, so we can only wait and hope they make call ins attached to tech. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance by game size16 Aug 2014, 06:28 AM Generally, i find that 1v1 is pretty balanced. 2v2 is skewed in allies favor. 3V3 and 4v4 is axis land In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US Campaign: ARDENNES ASSAULT 15 Aug 2014, 19:48 PM Hmm. Well yes, germany was never known for very good economy management. However, you can't really say that if those bombings never happened, germanys production would of had been quadrupled. It's hard to predict such things. However, a quick search at wikipedia says that tank production fell by 35% due to allied bombings. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: US Campaign: ARDENNES ASSAULT 15 Aug 2014, 19:07 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2014, 18:35 PMCardboard Tank It was an example. I didn´t write down the smallest axis nations and Italy, because they don´t really matter. Italy switched sides (and struggled on teh Balkan and in North Africa) and the other nations were simply too small. For the same reason I didn´t list Brazil, Greece etc. for the Allies. Without the Allied bombings, the German industry would have produced more equipment to fight the Russians. Those bombings started way before 1943. It bound the forces of the Luftwaffe for home protection - which might have had air superiority versus the Russians otherwise. Well, alied bombings were not exactly the main reason for the low german production, in 1944, german production peaked and in 1944 germany started producing more tanks and aircraft than ever. Even tho in 1944 germanys indrustial bases were getting bombed alot. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: US Campaign: ARDENNES ASSAULT 15 Aug 2014, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2014, 17:41 PMCardboard Tank Once again: "They lost." isn´t an argument to consider an armies value. Germany was at war with the most industrialized countries of the world at once. To keep it very simple: Germany + Japan vs. Soviet Union + USA + Commonwealth Now what do you think was the best army of the war? The Russians? Then let´s change the places: Oh, shit... Soviets would probably have lost versus USA + Commonwealth + Germany combined. What a bad army the Red army must have been... Shit logic. You forgot Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Italy, Hungary. Thing is, the second front was only opened in 1943, and the "real" second front in 1944. By then Germany had lost pretty much all of it's initiative on the eastern front and was on the retreat. Sure, lend lease DID help, however, you can argue that swedish metal and romanian oil also helped. Most of germanys casaulties were on the eastern front. Germans pretty much focused their entire millitary in 1941 on operation barbarossa, and didin't win. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Now we know why Easy 8s are so buffed15 Aug 2014, 15:58 PM the tiger hit the sherman at a very bad angle, not sure but i think this is possible. However very unlikely. Tiger should have zero problems penetrating easy eights (and easyeights shouldn't have too much of a problem penetrating a tiger) In: Scrap Yard

Thread: US Campaign: ARDENNES ASSAULT 15 Aug 2014, 14:42 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2014, 14:24 PMJaigen Nobody gives a damn. Modern day armies use german doctrines instead of soviet ones. If the german had equal amount of resources as the soviets it would be a curb stomp battle. they didnt that was because of the stupidity of Hitler but as a fighting force the german army was nearly complete as it could get. The red army for the most part was very incompetent and could only win situations by vastly outnumbering their opponents numbers and economy wise. Hmm, if the red army always had a numerical advantage, how can you say you know what would of happened if they were on equal numbers? That never happened, so how do you know? Red army was incompetent in alot of areas in 1941-42. Sure. Probaly because of Stalins officer purges and other stuff. But by 43-44 they had learned ALOT. See, this doesn't really matter. Just by having numerical superiority, the red army was a better fighting force than the wehrmacht, this "what-if" scenario of yours doesn't really mean anything at all. I can also come up with some nonsense like this : "The german army was horribly incompetent because all of their operations eventually ended in failure" So maybe it's actually better being able to suceed while outnumbering your opponent, rather than not being able to suceed at all? And modern armies don't use german doctrines, they use modified, refined versions of their doctrines inspired somewhat by german doctrines. It would be rather strange if USA used the same thing the germans used in 1939-45... In: COH2 Gameplay
