Molotov should be using fuel not munitions

It has just occurred to me that according to molotov cocktail description it is a bottle full of petrol. So it is only realistic that it should cost a number of _fuel_ to throw instead of munitions, right?

So the soviets can have even more munition floating no?
It did used fuel but after all t-34 did beat panzer4 btw , this is game and it has gamelike mechanics , not simulation so :/

Sure it is, i personally wouldn't have mind it to use manpower to throw as long as it is serving balance purposes. It's just that CoH2 did a lot of things for realism sake, like calling units off map instead of out of their buildings, so..

Well if you want that kind of realism then you should also be using munitions every time your soldiers shoot, and lose fuel when you're tank is driving

Right, like i said, i don't mind
I am just making fun of the game's sudden inconsistent approaches to "realism".

It's an RTS. It's not intended to be realistic. All the "realistic" things that are done are done because they're seen as beneficial gameplay elements. Things like off map units, blizzards, vehicle recapture are only in because the devs see it as an addition to the gameplay.
Realism for realism's sake is always a moronic argument.

It's coh, in coh we use 'munitions' and 'fuel' which are resources, not necessarily straight representations of their real life counterparts.
Just like 'manpower', an number constantly rising up that can be used for various cohlike things.

I do think there is the kernel for a new game in this idea. Give units a loadout of fuel and munitions and they have to either retreat to resupply or have it brought up to them at the front.

Permanently Banned Fun idea.
Might work if Paradox ever makes a WWII simulation ala CK and EU series.

Teching, buildings and units cost fuel, whereas abilities cost munitions. Why would you want to complicate this by mixing it up for the sake of realism?
If you do want to add another resource I would go for something immaterial like "moral". If the "moral" of your troops is quite low you need to retreat them before they run off the field.

but the molotov is a WEAPON... and WEAPONS need AMMUNITION... so, the petrol in the molotov is, for all intents and purposes, ammo :-)

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.
