How to avoid getting trapped by your own wire?

Is there any reliable way to ensure the squad stringing wire stays on the outside, not between wire and piece of cover? Does direction of the command to string the wire affect it? Or will its angle change the outcome?

issue move order in front of cover then build order. Some time one can simply vault the cover even when caught...

Cheers, didn't know this affected the positioning while stringing the wire.

I have escaped the wire trap by vaulting in past, but yesterday I was on Crossing in the Woods and my Pios got stuck next to the sandbags near the center-left crossing area. IDK why you can't vault those sandbags but a Rifle nade ate my squad as they were clumped so much.

Suggestion from Vipper is good.

Also if you are laying wire, and watching, try to leave a bit unfinished so that you can still cancel it before you leave if a unit cannot get out.

Unfortunately the AI is not smart enough to try to avoid building itself into a corner. RE's and wire actually are the ones I have the most trouble with as they love to trap themselves between traps.

Be mindful that when you issue a wire order, engineers have a habit of starting on the end that you finished the order on, not the start of where you marked the wiring. Don't know why that happens.

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.

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

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
