Raketen should become uncloaked when capping

Invisibility on-the-move should be outright removed. This isn't a sci-fi game. Invisible tanks and multi-crew anti-tank rocket launchers with wheels is absurd.

This isnt a realistic game aswell, just inmersive or something like that

dunno why, ZIS-3 can do that, and any unit that has stealth

wow... i see the army of rakketens used for capping.

Seriously.. who cares?! Whos gonna sneak a single rakketen behind enemy lines to cap?

This actually happens often, where good players will use cloaked Raketen to capture a contested point under the guard of HMGs or emplacements as a spotter is needed to run up to the point and find the cloaked racketen which might not be possible if german guns are also covering the point.

Technically snipers could do the same but require cover at the point and is most certainly involves more risk.

Don't Racketens move like molasses when stealthed too?

Anyways I do think cloaked should remove, or at least reduce, capping. But I do think similar logic should apply to other stealthed units like snipers.

Fully agree that it's stupid.

I'd suggest an alternative though - make it so that they have no capping power while cloaked. That way they'd have to decloak to cap or defend against being capped and you'd have less accidental uncloaking for the player.

They are a very odd unit.

I don't know if they should remain cloaked in enemy territory. I have sent 3 of them cloaked in a pack hunting for repairing tanks to very good effect. They are slow but 3 cloaked pack a punch on any damaged tanks and only counter is to not repair a tank anywhere outside of base.

Pop cover fire and retreat for free tank kills.

Not sure if possible, capping isn't an action in coh2, how the system does the difference between capping or moving around when you enter the circle?

The only option I see is applying the same logic as Sov Vet1 for tanks, a capping ability.

It should be ANY cloaked unit can only cap while uncloaked. Price & risk you pay to cap.


I've always disliked the free retreat that AT gun gets. Why can't the similar sized Pak Howie get that???
