Bugs & Tech Support / Re: 2.300 Bugs
« on: March 20, 2015, 04:28:14 AM »
Some of these may not be bugs per se but here they are;
 
The Sturmtiger (or sturmpanzer 4 according to the unit guide on the website) is referenced in the Elite Troop tree for the Ostheer but I was never able to call one in or build one as the case may be.

The Ostheer Rocket half track only fires 8 rockets despite the description saying ten.

The Ostheer Transport half track (sweet AA upgrade btw) only holds 6. Not sure if this is intentional or not but it does render them useless as a transport since 1 squad of anything per vehicle is less than ideal.

The call in mechanized battalion is in game called panzer battalion. The command tree says it can bring in a panzer 38t or wespe as opposed to the Luchs and the panzerjagers that it actually brings in. Changing assault or support pools does not make an impact on this. I was certain that somewhere I had read that choosing one pool over the other determines which units are spawned, In the end never found a way to get the 38t. Despite the hardcap message for the Luchs saying there was one(38t) on field already and that's why no more than 2 Luchs could be called in.

The Support Troop Doctrine refers to off map call ins of foreign units. If they have not been implemented into the game yet then ignore this point. I had seen some of the pictures of the 38t and Semovente on Moddb and thought they were already in game.

The Wespe sometimes instead of firing will simply attempt to drive to the area targeted for barrage. Had this happen once in every 15 or so barrages by two Wespe side by side. One, usually the one on the leftmost side, will drive to the area while the other fires as intended.

All that said, excellent job on the Ostheer. The different skins for the buildable tigers was a really nice touch. ;D

I think i can see what andreas is trying to say (i may be wrong) but this is a reward unit for an assault gun/self propelled artillery unit its not meant to be a tank killer and im not sure why you would want yet another dedicated heavy tank killer when you have the elephant and others to fill that role.

1) given both the historical nature of the sturmtiger and its designation as an assault gun in game and history i would assume that the penetration rates against medium and heavy armor would be minimal so it would be useless to send as the lone tank killer like the jagd's, IS3 or king tiger.

2)like the stuH the damage done will (again assumtions) be based on the explosive force of the weapon itself. Much like the AVRE it will decimate infantry and do a fair bit of damage to light vehicles. see above regarding penetration

3)Finally it has no turret, just forward facing gun that can be angledwithin a few degrees much like any non turreted vehicle in the game and given its a tiger chassis I imagine it will not be a fast on the spot turning vehicle. So you wouldnt even need to kite it just swarm it from the back or sides.

all that said should be fun nonetheless

Ostheer Suggestions / Re: when?!

given that hes only posted 5 other times I assume hes simply trying to find out if its worth downloading this mod at this point in time or just wait for COH2 to come out, which is a month and a half away.

Bugs & Tech Support / v1.7.0.2 Pershing call in absent
« on: December 06, 2012, 12:56:37 AM »
Several of the guys i play online with have mentioned to me that when they unlock the pershing for off map call in the the actual button/icon to call one in is not available and so they cannot call in a pershing to use during game play.

Havent seen this mentioned yet and i havent tested it myself but i thought i would mention it. Also great work on the Danzig map

Balance Discussion / Re: Russia vs. PE (2.6.0.1) a modest proposal
« on: March 20, 2012, 10:12:04 PM »
Actually its the other way around. PE is far too strong against soviets. They are nearly defenseless against a early HT followed by a AC spam. PE grens can then be equipped with MP44.

Only thing soviet can do is spam sniper/atgun which is a boring gameplay (at least in the current patch)

I agree but that is the point of panzer ELITE to be better at everything in order to make of for the inherent lack of numbers where as even the elite units of the soviets do need numbers to get the most benefit out of using them. Partially the reason i use the KV tanks instead of the T34 because they dont rely on numbers to the degree that the rest of the soviet army relies on.

Balance Discussion / Re: Breakthrough Doctrine- Mechanics
« on: March 20, 2012, 10:05:47 PM »
and even if that was a good idea what kind of tank would be filled in given that all the practical tanks have been implemented already? Mechanics are not meant to fight since the pistols are more for fending off kettenkrads rather than actually contributing to the fight. Although i would not mind if they showed up in a halftrack or something so that they can get to where i need them to be alot sooner than they do when they hoof it.

I never gave in to any of that save for EF forums and youtube. All seemed like an overblown need for self gratification/justification IMO
