Doctrinal camo is bugged since release iirc, your squads can be in cloak out of cover and move around normally, took me a while to recreate how exactly, but have figured it out now after a few hours of testing.

Invisible Grens out on a walk

All quiet on the Western front from a USF point of view. Them Krauts must have rage quit and left

..Not so quiet as it turns out.

Just casually surrounding the unaware yanks, nothing to see here.

Youtube Video content by Megalostsoldier, not me.

Steps to Recreate:

1. Place squads in green cover with all members in cover.

2.Upgrade squads with camo.

3. Once upgraded, wait for camo to kick in, then move out of cover. Your squads should be still in camo.

4. Use hold fire button and cause mayhem, an invisible army, not too hard to use your imagination on this one.

Notes:

It is a one time use, once you reveal one of your units, all will be revealed unless in cover. After this, camo works as intended.

Also, oddly, this does not appear to work in attrition game mode or high resource games.

Reported this back in April 2014, but was never addressed, which is disappointing, although I did not know exactly how to recreate it (I did show a replay though!).

Needs to be fixed tbh asap.

Kappa this has been there since forever people just dont know how to do it but with this new cover system maybe it can work.

Oh, and funny enough, you can cap whilst using this and use unit abilities, such as rifle nades whilst in cloak.

Anybody who has used the doctrinal camo since release will have noticed this happens very occasionally, but it seemed pretty random. Took a while to get my head around it as it does not work in some game modes apparently as far as my testing showed or in high resource games. Strange as garden.

Time to put some some panzer grenadiers in somebody's base and wait for retreating units MVGame

Yeah, it is a bug. I saw it for weeks, but could not find how to reproduce. Well Bryan

Please vote on the bug tracker to raise awareness with Relic before the December patch. With a bit of imagination, this is pretty easy to abuse and broken. Just a tad ridiculous
