Cruzz's The More You Know

I actually being kind of serious. The broken vet is probably made the game more balanced. This would be the best time to play ESL

Bigger issue in my opinion is that going penals leaves no light counter to a luchs, 251 or 222. But that's a topic for another time.

Yes they do.
It's called a satchel charge.

You'll be amazed how many people just forget about the tank, and it gets blown to smitheries

I don't mean to be rude but... that just won't work at the higher levels of play. It is already easy enough to avoid AT grenades and mines. No good player is going to let himself get satchel-ed.

At least Cons can thwart a light vehicle from chasing to base for wipes, and zone it out/force constant movement (thus reducing DPS) - these same light vehicles can just drive on top of Penals and shred them.

Q1: does smoke cover type applies ingame?
Q2: if so, does it overwrite other cover?

Is the bonus that units obtain when in cover, the sum/multiplication of the values defined in the cover table? Example to clarify the question:

Do units have their accuracy/suppression/damage multiplier modified multiplicatively by standing in deep snow, but behind green cover, whilst under a smoke? (tp_zz_deep_snow * tp_heavy * tp_smoke). Or is it merely one modifier, depending which one is applied by some kind criteria (e.g highest modifier only)?

Only the strongest cover is applied.

For Q2, perhaps Q1 too, I asked Cruzz something similar a while back, in a different thread:



And his reply was:

Q1: In Coh1, if I remember correctly, all infantry was able to suppress, for example, 3 squads of rifles all shooting at the same time at a squad. Is this still the case in Coh2? (Doesnt seems so)

Q2: Is there some kind of formula (or at least some rule of thumb) on infantry who are suppressed/pinned not being able to recover from suppression if being shot at by Not-suppressing units (regular squads). It seems to me that a suppressed squad takes ages to recover if being shot at by eg even volks or RE (more than in Coh1).

Q3: Is the cover applied to the whole squad or single entities? For example, when a squad takes cover behind a wall but mothergardning Wilhelm is refusing to get behind it, the squads cover symbol might show no cover/ negative cover. Is this then applied to Wilhelm alone or the whole squad?

All units have a small suppression value, it won't suppress anything by itself, but if smg/ar troops shoot at you, you won't recover from pin and take much longer to recover from suppression.

Entities.
If single entity is out of cover, then you'll get suppressed.

Assuming that relic didn't mess up any of the veterancy bonuses, this patch is fairly clean. Fairly.

Balance changes in the March 10 patch:

Royal Engineer vet1 cover bonus moved to squad file, and now no longer has a weapon limitation (previously only on default Sten) so they'll fire quite a bit faster with any weapon in the squad while in cover.

Ostruppen accuracy malus moved to squad. So if you reman a team weapon with ostruppen the extras not manning the team weapon will have 50% higher accuracy than before.

Land Mattress weapon priority set to -100, so it won't be hit by stuff before the crew is dead. Not sure I agree as its now inconsistent with other artillery pieces, but shrug.





No.

You mean now that if I reman a mg with ostruppen the mg get 50% + recived accuracy or they in cover get + 50 accuracy?
