Pretty sure only riflemen get defensive stance . Plus, I really want to give RE's 1919's (and zooks) but a stiff breeze can cause them to perish. 1919's + vet OKW infantry = This

Shame, but is it then possible for riflemen to 'defensive stance' while in a fighting position? That'd at least let the FP without MG become a teensy bit more useful.

Also, when I see Obersoldaten that picture comes to mind O_O

also I've done RE's with the the 1919's and it's pretty good too. There's no huge davantage over Regular BARS though, I préfet airborne since RE are Great for crewing weapons and paratroopers work well with a munitions Heavy strat.

My last game I played I equipped an RE with an 1919 and it proceeded to quickly get vet 3 and 28 kills by the end of a 1 hour 10 min game. When they get vet RE squads are much more durable. And this was only with 1 browning, imagine if I had 2

Is the DPS really that much better than the regular bar though? The ability always seemed like the reason to get it on riflemen.

Of course they're vulnerable to AT and mortar fire, how else would they be destroyed?

The funny thing is, you can actually repair fighting positions incredibly quickly. I've kept a fighting position alive while under constant mortar fire with a rear echelon squad and an ambulance no problem.

I don't know the exact stats of lmg vs BAR but someone should definitely look it up. All I know is lmg is better at long range, BAR at close range. I always get infantry company for the lmg defensive stance so haven't been using the BAR lately.

The squad dies if the enemy can get an explosive in the fighting position. Grenade, mortar etc. I've always been scared to put anything more than an REU inside there, haha.

Also for anyone thats interested, the rifle grenade does exactly half the damage of a normal grenade. Which is pretty nice considering that it costs no munitions for that rifle grenade to be shot, albeit randomly.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

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.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

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.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
