Yes, I have thought about it as well and the solution is quite simple.
Give all close comabt units sprint ability and/or smoke nades.
Not to mention armor on Shock troops which makes them much more durable on the open field than any other (and it should be like that, yet vetted inf, becasue of rec. acc is more durable )
Thanks australian for such a good manner answers and way to explain your opinions. much appreciated.
really tired fo these forum battles plenty of nosense and bad manners...much appreciated man.
Sometimes I miss a lot my times in COH1 where I used to ask for help in gamereplays.org
In that time (v3.01 IIRC, when 3 cloack shoots from paks, flamepios blobs and so on....) no one was figthing in the forums because that unit is OP....as no one expected a patch any time soon, people put their efforts in develop strategies to stop this or that very powerfull unit....
Maybe was is nostalgic, but I miss those threads where people only post to add his strategy, or how they defetead that unit using other unit....don´t know, it was better for me at least.
Excuse for the off-topic.
