Lack of friendly fire

Also, there is the huge issue of a ton of players being toxic and resorting to teamkilling (or at least attempt to) for various reasons, with no real systems in place to handle them (except manual reports), which would become an even bigger issue if everything did full friendly fire damage.

While I agree that FF should be increased, it is great fun to run your Grenadiers up close into Conscripts and shoot a PWerfer at them. Most of the time the enemy does not retreat because first he has a favourable fight and second somehow people assume that no one would shoot their own squad.

Probably won't be fixed for CoH2 though.
CoH3 (should we ever see it) should allow different modifiers for your own units, Allied units and enemy units, plus one each for external and base buildings buildings, respectively.

But maybe a player reporting system like 90% of all games have in place would also go a long way to reduce team killing.

I think, you mean Katjusha... not Panzerwefer. Panzerwerfer do suppression, that will be very stupid. xD

All over, friendly fire will be a massive nerf for all Allii fractions. For Brits it is normal meta to run into their own base-arty etc.


Last time I saw a toxic team-mate was 5 years ago... simply play with mates and not random...

Does not matter, worth the wipe.
PWerfer is good because if your opponent does not realize what is going on withing the first seconds, it's a guaranteed hit.
Grens are more likely to retreat with Conscripts up close anyway, plus Katy does not burst as much. Still works though. Point is that you take a bad fight on purpose to fool your opponent into not retreating

The Katyusha is better for that sort of thing than the Pwerfer, honestly. The Katyusha (Especially close) has a far faster time-on-target for the initial burst of damage than the Werfer.

In case of both, if you do not react the same half a second you hear it, you've lost whatever it was targeting.
In Katy case, it got bit less time, but area is much smaller if you're close enough, in pwerfer case, you can move a bit, you'll still be wiped, unless targetted thing was non weapon team that instantly retreated.

I think it isn't important which works better, but that this kind of weapons need more friendly fire.

Maybe not for mortars and grenades (because they would make too much passive friendly fire) but artillery should do enough damage to prevent players do such maneuvers. Often saw points defended while beeing under own artillery fire doing nearly no damage, preventing capturing.

25% - 50% damage sounds fine for me.
