Wounded Line of Sight Bug

It has happened twice so far. While playing the Soviets, some of the wounded had a small LOS, not always and I don't know in what circumstances it happened. It happened just once per game. Did anyone ever notice this?

they're called crawlers and it's not a bug, you can shoot them dead with a right click

I've always found these crawlers a bit strange thematically.
With squads and everything, instantaneous LoS is fine since they're connecting by radio and whatever.
But with crawlers, they're wounded, they're dying, why do they have the time to call down artillery strikes? inform HQ of all enemy tanks and infantry and keep doing so, often with the enemy right above them...

Even more annoying is the fact that sometimes the line of sight stays even if the model died. It won't disappear until the game has finished.

Yeah I think it might be a Soviet thing, I've noticed this as well in multiple games I'll have vision over an area for way longer than the model is crawling around there. Not that I'm complaining, it's always nice to be able to see cut-offs/capture points/anywhere for extended periods of time, but it's definitely not intended.

Actually it is a bug, even dead crawlers may provide line of sight for eternity.

on top of that they

manage to block entrances to buildings by crawling around the house
block non-retreating units pathing

Nothing but trouble with these guys..

It's clearly not intended and it's kind of unfair if you ask me. I mean you can just pretend you don't care about the "nice treat" your fallen soldiers left you but you can't just act like you don't see that PAK gun standing there. I would be glad if they fixed this in future patches.

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.
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.

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
