I always found tank destroyers to be a huge waste of time. The ones without turrets always just got destroyed because they never fired at the tanks, just drove towards them constantly trying to get in range and getting shot the whole time.

And thats before you meet infantry, a mounted gun, a building or pretty much anything. I'm surprised people build them at all.

Well they don't fire because the target hasn't been identified, they will only fire upon identified tanks this is where recon comes in handy.

You build tanks
Opponent builds tank destroyers
You build unarmored anti-tank

Problem solved

Unless your opponenet manages to counter it. Anyway they just needed to tweak the range to be equal to a heavy tank.

Then you counter it again

That's how RTS games work. You don't throw the countered at the counter.

I know, but tank destroyers we're incredibly fucking cheap it was rediculous, they needed a range nerf just to balance it out a bit otherwise heavy tanks were worthless as you may as well spam a bunch of mediums and charge at the td's and blow them up because of overwhelmedness

war man, tank destroyers can only destroy armored vehicles. They are literally defenseless against every other unit in the game. Stop crying over something you yourself can't beat and learn to deal with it instead.

Oh my fucking God, I know that. Problem is the counters are absolutely slow or there is a counter to my counter. Like artillery + tank destroyers= dominance on the ground if no side can afford aircraft. I just think that because 2 td's equals the cost of 1 heavy just with 2 guns instead, that the range should be nerfed to show it.

Just played a game with Lucien and Spidery and my brother. I kinda ruined it for the team...

At least Lucien and Spidery know now not to play with me anymore.

Must say, it's a hue improvement from the beta. Still doesn't have CoH's personality, but you can't really expect it to at that scale.

I wonder what a WW1 ruse would be...stay in the trench for another ten days!

Yeah I was wrong there, but RUSE specifically is much more counter-based. Units tend to utterly dominate one type and be useless against another.

Tank destroyers are designed for a cheap medium and light tank population control solution, in real life they weren't competent against heavy tanks head-to-head, they were only ever effective against heavies when used for ambushing or if it was a fast tank destroyers(turreted ones that sacrifice armor for speed) to quickly move to a heavy tanks side and flank him before the heavy's turret turns. In ruse, flanking has no impact in combat and ambushing only works if you have a radio silenced area with tank destroyers and enemy tanks are in range. The range nerf balanced the heavy tank vs tank destroyer better, taking 2 tank destroyers to counter 1 heavy is more reasonable as 2 tds have the same cost as 1 heavy yet tds win due to outnumbering, while 1 td at the price of a medium tank counters 1 or more medium and light tanks depending on how far they are to the td and if they're approaching. Get my reasoning now?

Infantry can still wtfpwn heavy tanks from the woods, even if the danger is marked 'extremely high.' What I want to know is why the demo mission had nuclear artillery.

Also, the personality is all in the cutscenes. The units themselves couldn't possibly be more bland, other than the fact that they occasionally retreat.

If units are near death they will retreat and not fire back, to solve this problem use the fanaticism ruse so they can fight to the death(this ruse often has been a life saver and made quite the difference)

I'm not talking about retreating as an issue (it isn't), I'm saying that it doesn't nearly have as much personality as the dead panic CoH displays.
