My friends and I don't play competitively, so I like using them as mobile reinforcement as I hate to wait for infantry units moving to the front line all the way from the base. With the guarantee of immobilization it can be a real game changer if crucial vehicles trigger them. |
I thought so as well: the AI wanted to build something at the same spot. I placed the HQ halftrack very close to the center of a territory, so... |
Well, thank you much for answering so fast - very much appreciated! |
There once was a bug that tanks could drive over the mines but the following explosion did no damage what so ever - has this bug been solved? |
I was just trying out the game after a long long pause from it and I tried out the Oberkommando West. The game was a four player skirmish game with me allied with a Wehrmacht AI easy against two US Forces AI easy. When I placed the first HQ wagon, an allied unit of pioneers shot at it with their flamethrowers for a long time. At one point they went off but they came back to shoot at it again. It was only after I repaired it that they finally stopped though there could be several reasons to why they stopped shooting at it.
Have others tried this? |
Hi
Maybe some of you can explain it to me?
A normal Osttruppen squad is 200 Manpower and for Osttruppen Reserves (2 Osttruppen squads) you pay 500 Manpower and then there's a chance of some veterancy. A) 200 Manpower for one Osttruppen squad and that's quite steep, B) so we pay 50 Manpower for veterancy on a very weak unit which we C) MAY get, and D) we have to pay for pairs of squads.
Isn't this by far the most inefficient ability/unit cost-wise? |
I've experienced roughly the same thing. I chose to fire the Panzerfaust (or is it Panzerschreck?) with my Grenadiers but they never fired it - I was going crazy! I didn't see if the animation occurred. |
Does anyone know if they're even aware of the Teller mine problem? What about the Riegel mine? Is that also bugged? |
I find that after using the Coordinated Barrage, the artillery pieces are immediately ready again - there's the chance that it was their original cool down which finished while shooting in the Coordinated Barrage, but I don't think so.
To get most out of the 80 Munitions I'm using the Joint Operations Commander to have at least one LeFH18, though they're easy to take out. I'm looking forward to use the Concentrated Fire ability with Infantry AND tanks around him as tanks get a fire rate bonus.
Thank you for posting the info nigo. |
Agreed, the squad is incredible fragile. |
