yeah, good luck coordinating every single mortar attack with up to three (random) teammates.


I'd make it a bit more lethal. Not to make it overboard. It seems that attackers are often blindly walking into barrages and wipe squads overusing this no damage possibility. They should be a little bit more punished for it.

As other have said, i think it's the perception of barraging to FoW plus paying specific attention that makes barrage look "bad".

Unless most things had been iron out, i think friendly fire is a mess across the board. From offmap to howitzers, rocket artillery, mortar and grenades.

well i'd say at least friendly fire could and should be made more consistent across factions. though i haven't checked it myself recently, i remember soviet rocket arty dealing significantly less damage to friendlies than their german equivalents for no apparent reason. the same likely applies to mortars and other indirect fire sources, too.

Friendly fire is just an Ostheer problem.

No units besides Ostheer have real friendly fire, all call ins have huge friendly fire.

I agree. It probably shouldn't be any gamechanger. Just making sure that the damage friendly fire inflicts just prevents friendly units into diving straight into the barrage/grenade and focus firing enemy units without any consequence that those units will be seriously damaged by the same shells/grenades. I didn't really know it wasn't the same across the board tbh. It definitely should be standardized.

Imagine if auto fire was removed?
It would be greatest improvement to coh2 as we know it.

Very micro intensive improvement :)
But if off maps, barrages dealt some more damage to friendly units it wouldn't hurt I guess.

Alternative idea to adjust auto attacks. Make the max model affected to 1 they probably adjust the scatter and radius to make this consistent. This way the mortars will afflict 'attrition' while not in constant use but have some independence.

Most support weapon have been nerfed to much and the contributes to blobs of infatry with brute force.

Making combined arms worse would not be a big improvement to the game.

Imagine if bad players learned to play and stopped blaming balance for their lack of micro and impotent blob control tools actually working against them.
Now THAT would improve the game infinitely!

This is one of the things I liked about your mod :)
I would even add the mechanics that would make units drop models more consistently, rather than drop health first and only then models. It would be so much easier to balance different model count in squads.
