Hello, I decided to make a thread & video about the most common version of the ZiS bug and explain how exactly it gets triggered, so that people can try to avoid it in their games.
At the end of the barrage, the crew steps away from the gun for 0.5 sec as you may have noticed. If you issue an order in that exact moment, the gun bugs out. So make sure you don't spam click when you come close to the 4th shell, try to make sure the animation gets finished completely. Giving orders before the 4th round has been fired is not a problem
ZIS bug! How does it work exactly?

It might be better to hide this thread.
Triggering the ZiS bug accidentally is pretty rare, but if people know how to do it there's a good risk they try to trigger it deliberately in advantageous positions.

the ghost ZiS bug with 0men crew has been fixed IIRC so you cant really abuse it anymore. You wouldnt get any advantage from causing it intentionally

Yes now the Zis gun bug is a disadvantage it's probably better people knew how to avoid it, previously it would have been more of an issue to spread this info.

I wonder if it's possible to forcibly lock in place the zis gun before it would accept any move orders to avoid this bug.

This is very helpful, now I can finally test some changes!
So I changed the 'use_accessory_weapon' action to an 'artillery_attack' action which has no functional differences as far as I know, but the crew doesn't re-setup the weapon now.
Could you help me test it? I haven't been able to reproduce it yet with these changes:

You need to save it in: C:\Users\NAME\Documents\my games\company of heroes 2\mods\tuning.

Oh my god I think you did it! I was not able to reproduce the bug at all, and I canceled the barrage on a lot of points during the barrage (beginning, halfway through, end etc)

Is there a thing in the game, which cannot be fixed by SneakEye?

Do you think we need more tests to be 100% sure? Otherwise I will write down all changes and send in to the patch team.

I had it happen once where the AT gun was overlooking a VP. I couldn't give it any commands but it fired at everything in its arc and really caused a problem for the other player. It made a section of the map dangerous for armor and also gave vision.

nice work. Think this is an example of how sharing info can help fix a number of issues in the game.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.
