At what point in replay and what location.

I watched half and saw 2 RNades on HtD Cons that did good dmg at the objective NE of the central VP, @ 11:00.

In future, please don't make posts like this without including a timestamp of what you want to show. Wastes everyones goddam time.

HTD now is exactly the same as yellow cover.

You don`t even have to nade, just walk in with PGrens and rape the shit out of them.

Although does it still stack with other cover or?

No doesn't stack with cover, just straight yellow cover now.

Does it still grant you immunity to suppression?

Why don't you apply for admin and ban me then?

The damage is actually lower than before, the effect is eaten too

So now if you use it in Green cover, you will get yellow instead?

It should, I mean if they removed that aswell then the skill is utterly useless now

No, it will allways make use of the harder cover if its there.

Grenades have always been very inconsistent. HTD is still good for ignoring suppression, but a PGren will easily beat a HTD conscript now (similar vets) even without using bundles.

now plasma shield is gone and rightfully so, but conscripts still use pea shooters. they need a good ol' upgun.

I havent tested HTD yet. An opponent used it against me yesterday, but I already had a tank shooting at them, so it wasn't the best scenario for him.

I'm not sure as to the exact code changes to the ability, but it is supposed to produce free yellow cover for Conscripts (its an early game ability, after all). It could, or could not be working appropriately, sometimes small details get bugged in the code.

I'd have to test it more, but I don't think it is useless now. That would be like saying Blitz Trucks and Strafe are useless: rather, they aren't as stupidly imbalanced anymore. A PGren shooting a close quarters weapon at a person sitting in front of him should die, no questions asked. Same with flames.

It happened in Stephennn's stream, he ordered a bundle nade to a HTD cons, no effect, only one dude died of nade (or just MP44?)

It is proven, HTD EATS nades
