OKW Wire

I've had some problems with what appears to be wire laying abuse by OKW players. This is particularly painful when playing as USF as it can severely reduce your ability to flank.

Is it a glitch, or can OKW wire not be cut? I've upgraded my RE's a number of times with wire cutters but for some reason they can't cut the wire. I haven't used Ass. Engineers yet so perhaps they have the ability to cut OKW wire.

I've also noticed a couple of players abusing the 'glitch' of laying partial wire to deny an area to USF. The wire looks like it's only 1/8 built, but you can't pass through it and can't seem to destroy it. Obviously the OKW player can lay the partial wire very quickly.

I assume this is a glitch, but in my mind anyone who is blatantly using this is a border-line cheat.

You cant cut OKW wire, its a different kind of wire. The only way to remove it is by blowing it up or using medium or heavy vehicles to crush it.

It is a feature that you can currently not cut OKW wire, nor run it over with vechiles with light crush. It is justified by the long build time to construct the wire. Personally, I believe OKW wire should be permitted to be cut.

It is a bug however that partially built wire can not be destroyed.

Yeah, you can't cut that wire even with Assault Engineers. As people have said you have to blow it up (not sure if grenades work) or crush it with vehicles. In my opinion this needs to change: on certain maps (Semoskiy) you completely block off important chokepoints with that wire, and forcing a US player to build a vehicle just to cut wire seems pretty dumb.

The fastest way that I have found is to rush zooks then you can tell the infantry unit to attack the ground, usually takes 2 or 3 zook shots to destroy it. Plus your usually going to want your inf to have zooks anyways, at least I almost always do.

RE needs Bangalores, give them something useful to do now that volley fire is worthless.

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.

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
