Not sure what my malfunction is, but I can't get the mod to appear in the Create Custom Game menu (downloaded file 569200187.sga)
It's in C:\Users\<username>\Documents\my games\Company of Heroes 2\mods\gamemode (there's also a 'subscriptions' folder in 'gamemode', I put the mod in that folder too to be safe).
For whatever reason though the only choice that appears is 'No Mod.' Any idea what dumbass mistake I must be making?
I would love to see earnest pathing improvements but this latest change was a big step back, my tanks are dancing like drunks. I'd be happy just to see it reverted and left.
Voted to remove it, but if it stays I'd rather tie it to effort than RNG, like vehicles are only abandoned when killed off by handheld AT. A finishing AT gun shot or tank destroyer shot shouldn't leave a vehicle abandoned in my opinion.
My saltiness increases the campier and longer a match gets in 1v1. The occasional 45 minute game is fine, but I'd much rather have 3 good 20 minute matches than a 70-minute OKW v Sov artyfest.
In my experience to get the most effect from leigs, pak howis or mortars I am frequently ordering them to barrage and moving them around the rear lines to keep them firing at vulnerable targets from a close enough range to be accurate/get wipes but far enough to avoid infantry counterattacks. This kind of use needs zero auto-facing to be effective.
If you are parking a mortar, leig or pak howi in one spot and relying on its auto-facing to make it effective you're already not getting as much value as you should from that unit. I don't think an RTS player should expect to get much out of a unit they barely give commands to.
