Title: Nashorn
Post by: Trooper425 on February 14, 2012, 10:34:35 PM
Don't get me wrong, the Nashorn is a great idea for a reward unit; I think its placement could be better though. It currently replaces the Luftwaffe's Flak 36. The Flak 36 was primarily an AA gun, so replacing it with a dedicated tank destroyer doesn't make sense to me. Also, the PE allready gets the Marder 3, which is basically a little brother to the Nashorn, so I find it a little redundant.

Maybe you guys could change the Nashorn to replace the Marder 3 instead of the Flak 36? It would make much more sense to me.

Replacing the Marder III with the Nashorn would be madness my friend.

The Nashorn has a much larger range, much more Penetration and does insane damage, it would be to OP to replace the Marder with the Nashorn.

Obviously you would nerf it ;). Thats like saying can the Tiger replace the Panther with all its stats in place? :P

Its not such a bad idea :P. The Nashorn and Marder are both AT guns. But there isn't much justification for it. The Flak 36 is a AT gun so its not like the doctrine role changes :P. But I find the Nashorn alittle OP. No fuel cost is a bit strange. Theres fuel upkeep but still. And it can be salvaged and moved.

It is not going to replace anything else ;).

The Nashorn needs to be tested in order to be tweaked, not to be moved :).

You have used flak 36s in this game right? They are not "primarily AA" in CoH.

I dont think the flak 36 has ever shot down a plane in any game I've played :P. They're soley for AT

Of course the AA sucks in-game as AA. I just thought it was weird that the Luftwaffe would replace their IRL heavy AA with an AT vehicle.

On another note I did a little research, and it turns out the Nashorn was designed as a more mobile replacement for the towed 88s on the eastern front. -_-*
Both the Nashorn and the Marder III served mostly in the east, Nashorn seeing limited service in Italy, and Marder III in North Africa. I officially retract my previous request, and apologize.
