[1.31] GodlikeDennis/BuiltByTrolls (SE/Terror) vs Killar/Vortexe (double Prop)

[GodlikeDennis]

A good game on duclair that went for around 50 minutes, automatch conditions. I faced off against Killar in the North while my mate had the South against Vortexe. Fairly even for awhile, I may have had a slight advantage with MP44s and ACs but Killar's vehicles hit the field and dominated me for awhile so I helped Trolls down his side. AT halftracks proved completely useless against the vehicles but I teched quickly to panthers and counterattacked, which was slowed by Killar's good use of mines. Katyushas also made attacking difficult. At around SU 400-80 Axis VPs my mate dropped after we had managed to turn the battle in our favour. From there, guards and IS2s continued to press the middle VP while T-34s were rampant over the bottom of the map but the VPs held and we won.

There is a LOT of random arty in this game, from my sector arty and lots of GoW. Also, some random things happened like conscripts suppressing me in the beginning and a T90 instantly killing 2 full health PGs. Some good vet, especially on an AC that survived the whole game and got 48 kills. This was my friend's 3rd EF game and he's only recently started playing CoH so cut him some slack for sucking .

Awww, damn. We had a 3v3 team I was going to be in (On dennis' side), where that other guy had the connection frozen

Good game!

About the sector arty: Stay out of the sector arty.



BTW, best part which I'd forgot about 'til now was when a double or triple Katyusha barrage from Vortexe hit every point around a Pak 38 in the south corner (default view) except the Pak itself XD

Good game!

Was it the game we had on Red Ball Express?

[Cranialwizard]

Yep Killar!

[Chancellor]

Awesome game.  Seems that despite losing handily to IS-2s in a slugfest, panthers actually fair well against them for some reason.  Good job keeping your pimp hand strong...I would have quit if my partner dropped like that.

[Seeme]

Wow, great game. IS hurt those Panthers.

The biggest Soviet no no was fighting in sector arti sectors.

@ Killar There will be a new GoW in the next patch. Less accurate than US barrage but more powerfull. Also some shells will drop after themain barrage.

A quick ballance question for those who saw the replay:
Are Katiushas weak? 4 of them didnt force Dennis attack. He just hold his points. I belive they were nerfed too much.

Kats weren't nerfed afaik, they only got a 50 mp increase, a pop increase and no longer can get through stuff.

Maybe not in the last patch but now they fire half the rockets Calliope do but have the same MP upkeep+muni upkeep.
Maybe they could fire extra rockets after earning vet.

+1. Something needs to be added (some "buff", if you will) to pay off for this ridiculous and persistent nerfing. I mean, no offence, but they just aren't worth the spending any more!
And yes, that is my own, private opinion. What else could it be? So don't unleash shit showers onto my head, if you somehow disagree with any part of my statements. Well, at least try holding it back to the last of your power of will.

There wasn't such nerf. A topic was created to nerf Katiushas because they were OP, but the only things implemented were what i posted above. Sorry IJoe, but in your quote looks like we nerf in every patch that unit when the truth is that has remained as it, literally, since 1.10.

It's not, what is already (over)done - it's also the CP amount required you're going to raise for it.

Yes, the new GoW is epic.

As for the final question, the Kats didn't force me to attack because neither Soviet player scouted for them or fired on my troops while I was defending. However, they STOPPED me from attacking because they could be unleashed any moment. A kat barrage on the panthers would tilt the balance in the IS2s favour, so I decided to wait out the VPs instead and hold my defensive advantage. Despite neither player scouting or firing the kats effectively on my defensive units, I still wasn't willing to risk my TH blob in that area so I could only defend with my tanks, which lead to a very close IS2 vs Panther stalemate.

what new GoW? whats changed
