As if early Maxim/Vickers spam ain't stronk enough.

I read this and assumed this thread must have been necroed from 2017......but then I remembered this is COH2.ORG XD

I thought we had a "competitive" mod that added such a feature in such as manual reload and also made it so capture points did not block pathfinding.

I reckon for HMGs and LMGs a manual reload or possible ability to micro to that extent would simply be another feature we as players could utilize to better beat our opponents. I would welcome more micro abilities to better control my troops.

I like these ideas. They are nice solutions to small issues in the game. Adding the solutions would be another thing that would distinguish medium from high-level players, as it increases the amount of micro required to optimally use HMGs.

Unfortunately, it's doubtful that we'll ever see anything like this implemented.

How come you say that? We got a handbrake mode for AA halftracks and it's apparently possible to implement a manual reload command since I think blitzkrieg/spearhead has it and certain abilities like AP rounds force reloads on mgs.

It'd even be nice to see a manual reload key for magazine-fed vehicle based weapons like the AAHT and luchs and 222 (not totally sure if the latter 2 are magazine-fed but I would assume so).

MrSmith implemented such a key in a balance mod... the one which got canceled if you remember. I have no idea however why this mechanic got dismissed after that

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
