Abandoned should stay but:

-It applies engine damage at least. I'm in favour of heavy engine damage/inmobilize for tanks.
-Empty vehicles shouldn't roll for extra crits. Have you seen abandoned > engine damage > bounce > main gun destroy > bounce > engine destroy...

RNG should exist, but there should be limits to it. I'm playing COH, a strategy game, not hearthstone :P

i proposed a no-rng mode years ago too, nobody liked that idea in those times.



It's not only with over extending :)

oowned, completely, its not a "punishing" mechanic



It leads to interesting scenarios were both sides are seeking an abandoned King Tiger in no mans land


interesting only to you, the outcome of that scenario is also luck-dependant, if someone happens to have a squad near the area and recapture the KT, is never because he predicted vehicle was going to be abandoned, what is "interesting" in watching both opponents right-clicking and the nearer squad to the KT capture it?

yep abandoned tanks should stay in game is a great mechanic but additional clauses should be added (either engine total destruction, or immobilization etc) with only 100% repairs being able to aquire it back to your ranks

Make it toggleable in custom, remove it for automatch at least in 1v1 and 2v2. Our friends the 4v4 scrubs casual players can keep it because of course it naturally makes for hectic action, but in my 1v1 it has no place.

I am not trying to offend anyone who likes 4v4!

Leave it in, but add extra risk for taking it.

Coh2 is not about knowing what will happen but about predicting it. There is never one outcome of the engagement: there is worst and best scenario instead with many in between. All players involved should be prepared for both of them. If they are, they are better players and will win in a course of best-of-three in a tournament. That means rng doesn't make a game less e-spots. It makes less predictable and thus much more interesting and challenging to watch or play, thats it. It also makes you #adapt to changing conditions you could not expect and that is a hell of a skill.


sadly that is only true in theory, risk-calculating everything is not humanly possible, even in grand finals, players will have succesful outcomes in luck-dependant events because of luck and not good play 80% of the time, it is time to accept reality.

No offense taken.

Sigh... I would prefer to have things stay as they are, but instead of removing this wonderful feature, I'm begrudgingly on the "Make it more risky" boat. Only thing I can think of that's fair is to make an abandoned vehicle suffer from a guaranteed crit at the same time. Like a damaged engine or destroyed main gun. That will be enough risk.

Either get rid of it completely, make it a much lower chance, or add clauses IMO.

All it need is to have all crits (threads down , main gun down , mgs killed , engine damages) and only recovered after repairing to 100%.

Or just remove it. but i think the first one is better it can make some nice battles , not madrush on abanoned tank with nearest infantry.

THe point is skilled players will make quick risk-calculations which will prove valid in cases of many variables. Research has shown that good individuals will come quite close to the true risk % in these situations.

I think it's fine the way it is now, successful re-crew and repair really don't happen that often usually it's crewed and quickly destroyed or just destroyed. I think it's exciting and fun when an opponants vehicle is abandoned and your able to recover it and us it.

One person earlier in this thread talked about using attack ground to destroy an abandoned vehicle, so I want to let anyone who doesn't already know that you can use the attack move command and click on the abandoned vehicle directly to make it a target. This is much more accurate than the other method, assuming that smoke isn't obscuring the wreck.

Personally I like the risk reward of abandoned vehicles but I would prefer that the vehicles would have mandatory criticals on recrew and cost a very small amount of fuel or something to prevent recrewing in a firefight.

I would say allow it. It adds excitement and reward for good or poor play. All players know the risk of getting an abandonment. Therefore if they decided to rush their vehicle into the enemy then that's their own choice. If your unit get's stolen then that is your fault and you should be punished for it.

while true, there's a difference between just losing your vehicle and basically gifting it to the enemy. still think its a bad mechanic.

A need of 25% fuel cost to recrew abandoned vehicles. (Bit like in the ardenes campaign).

Fixed.
