Been messing around with CoH2 Mod Tools lately.
Damn, it was so hard to do something about those squad formations.. (Sarcasm)

Squad on the move

Squad waiting for commands

Its amazing how much less one shot wipes I had testing this out = 0

Screenshots are shitty quality. I play on lowest settings and 800 x 600 resolution

The saddest part about this is that Peter said they will not change squad formations

How does it work with Cover? Does anyone stand out of cover or do they all enter?

I will post some new screenshots tomorrow. All units enter cover (formations have nothing to do with cover, cover is about amount of slots it has). Cover system still works the same. This would improve the game a lot imo. Sad if they will never change it, would fix a shitload of problems.

So what values did you actually change? I looked at the formations a bit and decided I'd have to make a small script to multiply the positions because manually changing them seemed too painful and the scale modifier did not seem to do anything.

I don't know what to say. This change would fix... a shitload of problems (could not find better words). Why the hell they would never change it. #Justrelicthings

Umm, current paratroopers move in a nice looking V formation on the open and fit nicely in cover just like any other squad.

Its not a matter "is it possible?", its a matter of "do we want to do it?".

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

There are squad formations and formations, I think you only changed the squad scale. When I changed scale at formations it worked fine, changed it to 20 once to check if it would make difference, the units were all over the map.

Here are some screenshots what the changes are, I'm not even sure if they are all needed.

I just used a default formation everywhere so it was easier to test.

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

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

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
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

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
