How about cooldown time on howies? Is that also per entity or just the gun?


ML-20 with 5 sec CD and crazy fast rotation would be sweet

Bug started on October only the offensive bonus got affected (accuracy cool down range )

Not according to Lelic. It is from much much earlier, most extreme case launch or earlier. Cruzz just said it was from at least October.

"if Relic is like 96% of the Software developing world documentation is lacking or non-existent"

If this is the case, and it very well could be, i sympothise with paperwork nightmares I would say as an engineer who deals with mountains of paperwork every day and still gets the job done i would say...

Start documenting how your own game code works I cant beleive i have to say this to a company thats been around for over a decade but yea this should be a no brainer, if a company plans on a life span of a game of 10+ years it better have documentation for the future of the game, this should be on their bucket list DAY 1 of development.

If management is the problem, if your statement is at the core of the lack of quality in COH2 (i dont think its the core, but its most likely a part of it) then so be it, just so damn sad seeing so much potential in disarray.

Its sad but that has become an industry standard in IT. Not saying it is good or how it should be just how it is.

Yea...i cant read that and not adress it. Im not about to make myself look like a rockstar, im not my gf will tell you im a moron half the time hah. I just want to contrast what "being a designer" and designing a system is like and shed some light on the idea that its just SO DIFFICULT to get this game right.

So i work as an aerospace engineer putting stuff up to the space station in RL. Its very hard.

Im gonna take a shot at the dark and suggest the budget for the ISS is a tiny fraction larger than the budget for a computer game.


What you need for software development not to have unforeseen consequences in patching [any type of patching, even just swapping NTP servers FQDN can cause the most fucked up of issues, because some guy that quit 5 years ago had the old FQDN hardcoded in some line of code] is solid and consistent documentation. Something that by tradition in software development is notoriously bad. Only I remember that had their documentation game on point was the armed forces, but they have the money to spend.

There is several of instances were code uploaded to github have had variables such as
"username: admin"
"Password: Password123"
in the code.
Now cock-ups that will NEVER happen for anything related to god damn Space development or national security. Since they have the infrastructure and systems in place to prevent such things. But that effort is expensive currently very few people do that. Patreon leak anyone?

The difference between your business and private-government or government-government type contracts vs business - enduser type companies is huge.

One is a part of the Soviet faction and faces the German factions. The other is part of the Wehrmacht faction and faces the Allied factions.
The Maxim is perfect in the role of defending a section. But just like all other Machineguns it is a Support weapon. It supports your other infantry, it should not fight on its own.

"because Maxim (and its upgraded version DShK) is ONLY MG of soviet union, "
ONLY MG


Brits have Vickers. Thats one.
Americans have .50 cal. Thats one
OKW have MG-34. Thats one
OKH have MG-42. Also one.
Soviets have Dshk and Maxim. That is two.
