Greetings everyone,

Just curious what's the best/proper way to use smoke grenades against MGs/Garrisoned MGs?

Do you use the ability on top of the enemy unit or in front of your own unit?

Couldn't find anything about it, and haven't had the time to watch US replays. Hoping you can help.

I throw it right at the base if his cone of fire. That way you have line of sight on the unit once you rush or flank but he has no sight in his line of fire. Usually I pop smoke and rush one rifle head on through the smoke and flank with another to try for the wipe. Mind you I'm not very good, but this is sound strategy.

If you use the ability on top of an MG or even tank, they become incapable of firing at all. So if your planning to rush the mg and take it out you must get at least 1 smoke nade on the MG.

However if you just want to soft retreat or leapfrog your way to get another smoke/ regular nade off throwing it in between the two squads is useful, just not quite as effective.

If you got only one riflemen you can easily throw smoke in front the MG from his maximum (viewing-) range (so you don't have to get suppressed) and proceed to run towards the MG. After that the MG should be in range for a regular grenade and can be forced off.

Oh, and smoke grenades can slow vehicles down too.

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?

Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.

Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
Last Tuesday, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
