Stop Building Tigers in Company of Heroes 2! (CoH2)

A short CoH2 video explaining why it isn't always a good idea to just blindly build the most expensive and impressive tank. Enjoy!

Hey all, this video is for the average CoH2 player. It is intended to demonstrate why just getting the biggest and most expensive tank isn’t always the best idea.

The fog of war is off to show the power of allied TDs when they have their vision. Yes spearhead mode grants more range but most players never use it in my experience and even if they did proper flanking attacks would still cripple a Tiger. Even with the blitzkrieg ability, most axis 4v4 players don’t use it correctly.

That rule only applies to people that are actually trying to acomplish something. I'm in just for the looks and effects.

[maelstrumyes]

Now I'm gonna build Tigers even harder

[Hardsyler]

A Tiger is A Tiger. The others on Battlefield are Matchbox Tanks. Fakt.😉

[Maumello]

Do you think the T34/85s are still worth it ?

[darksidedelta]

7:10 the Elephant and ISU-152 have the same range (70) and health (1040) BUT the Elefant has better armor and the ability to stun tanks for 5 sec.
While Jagdtiger has more health (1120hp) (vet5 1280hp like Kingtiger) + more armor + also can shoot at team weapon with it's ability.

German tank destroyers should win most of time except if the Soviet use mark target well or tries to ram it with a t-34.

Russians are red
Tigers aren't worthy
We're stuck on the battlefield
*Hans get the PaK-40* !!!

[amshermansen]

You're not my real dad! *proceeds to order an entire battalion of Tigers*

When a Tiger I with an 88 gets outranged by a 76 firefly

[shockblaster]

I prefer to hold out and wait for a Tiger/Tiger II/Elefant/Jagdtiger when I have enough AT units, either cannons or AT teams like the Panzergrenadiers. They can offer a great stop at roaming tanks, and are also really useful to deal with tank destroyers.

All those heavies are bad without support but having some infantry moving forward and using recon can make it so much more intimidating. It's basically psychological warfare, with the mere presence of a Tiger causing the entire allied strategy to focus on dealing with that tank, instead of dealing with more dangerous opponents such as elite infantry and hidden MG/cannons

[safatsadman]

I think building Tiger, King Tiger is more situational than necessity. Depending on the map and the enemies tactics these heavy tanks would perform differently. Against mobile anti tanks such as SU 85, Firefly, Jacksons the Tigers would get outmatched because those things were designed to counter German heavy armor, so if the enemy is going heavy on anti tank doctrines getting a Tiger/KT is a bad idea. However, the Tiger has much more HE filler in its shots compared to Stug's or Panthers which are although excellent against enemy armors performs badly against infantries. If the enemy is spamming things like T 34's or Sherman's(not firefly) the Tiger can outperform them. Against things like M26 or IS 2 the Tiger would be somewhat evenly matched. Thanks to its hit radius it can also counter infantries reliably well. So it all depends on how the match is going and being able to analyze the situation is going to be the deciding factor on which side wins the battle.

Jagditiger. And panthers. Espicially for teammate with command panther. U go in with jagditiger. He marks with the command panther.

[veniaminmurashko]

So this video is about tank destroyers countering heavy tanks. Never thought that’d be a part of the game 🤔

[tazzioboca]

You can hear the trauma in his voice this video.

[konradkonig]

I'm still waiting for the Jagdpanther...

[novanoir]

"Just keep reversing and keep him out of engagement range"
Certain tank platoon of Sherman with 75mm in a movie : "Let's go at him!"

[sheeleteiguextase]

Hanz get the panzeefaust
*A few moments later*
Hey, I'm back
Hanz did you get the panzerfaust?
No I brought the entire Panzer Division

[andreassjoberg]

"Historicaly correct" reversing as fast as max speed forward :D :D

[loli_ravioli_]

This is exactly what an underconfident ally player would say.

[Klongu_Da_Bongu]

Also Tiger is good for bleed but not in 4v4, just dosen't have the game impact like in 1v1 or 2v2. In 1v1 you can especially get your value by targeting enemy machine guns and anti tank guns.
