How does the body armor work on these guys? Does it just reduce the damage received?

It reduces incoming accuracy and deflects a percentage of the damage received. It make you more vulnerable to flame damage.

shocks trooper is very good, and i love it very much and if you are able to steal a shrek or 2 with them, they become the ultimate infantry.

shocks will won 1v1 against pgren but will lose 2v2 with pgren sometimes(who move who lose)

They're nice to send to a flank, capping. They can deal with anything short of a vehicle and run off ninja-cappers easily.

shocks have excellent grenades and very useful smoke grenades.

I only use Shocks in team games where my teammate has guards or T2. I don't find Shocks as effective vs infantry as they should be for the cost.

Wait a sec...I usually use shocks to run into enemy infantry and create havoc. Do the shocks have weapons that require them to stand still (as lmg for grens)?

Throw grenades at light vehicles standing still. Most players won't be expecting this, and won't move their vehicles when your shocks get close. Takes roughly half health off of the 222.

All weapons are more accurate standing still. That's pretty much the key to winning those initial engineer battles.

In the game, some weapons don't have moving accuracy penalties. MP40's, PPSH 41's, and STG 44's don't have an accuracy penalty while moving and shooting, I believe. I am 100% sure on the MP40's having this ability.

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
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

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.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

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
