This how weapon worked before and after the patch.

Infantry had both target size and armor bonuses.

Ah, so when people say the weapons all had the "same profile" they just mean that there were no weapons that were better at range than in close. Got it.

I see what you mean, but my point is that you could reach a similar effect by (making up numbers here) for example setting their DPS at range 10 to 90% of the current value, increasing up to 120% at range 0. They'd still do very heavy damage after crossing "only" 25 meters. No enemy is going to stick around and SMG squad that is 10 meters away either way, not with the current system nor with the "proposed" one. But the proposed one would be and feel more intuitive.

Well then you run into the issue of finding a DPS profile that at 90% feels beefy but isn't insane at 120% because when you think about it that would be kinda hard to do.

This thread will be locked in 3... 2...

comments on breaching

What about if breaching was less about instant damage but more about forcing an enemy out of a building?

Hear me out here; the breaching ability basically becomes this:

You pay muni to "breach" the door and enter into close range with the enemy. There is no special damage incurred to the enemy besides what would normally be dealt to the enemy at point blank range. The enemy is not forced to be inside the building with you except for (maybe) a second or two so that the breach wasn't a complete waste of munitions. Then the enemy can decide to leave the building or stay and fight it out.

This way, it's not an instawin button against garrison troops.

I'm a big fan of how Relic is adding more information to the squad UI for players to see at a glance more about how a squad performs its task.

However, I think that there should also be an option for players outside of a match to see how a unit performs.

Enter the Unit Encyclopedia, a feature from Men of War that I am a big fan of.

I know I've mentioned it elsewhere a few times, but now that CoH3 has its own forum category I think this deserves its own post as well.



So, what is the Unit Encyclopedia?


Well, it's a way for the player to view the stats of any squad, unit, and weapon's information (populated from the game's data itself) in a fashion that is readable and understandable.

For an example, say you wanted to know the sight range of the pioneer squad without having to go into the mod tools or using a special map.

You could enter the Unit Encyclopedia, filter by german squads, and select the pioneer squad, which would bring up a visual representation of the squad's models and weapons, along with the stats that are specific to that squad.

In addition to this, you could click on the individual models to see specifics about that entity, or you could click on the weapon to see the weapon's stats/ profile. Hopefully with a DPS chart like serelia's.
