I'll play with you. I am sick of playing with noob randoms.

I've been wondering this myself. It seems to me that there is an AOE component, they seem to work better against squads that bunch up, so if the grenade strikes close to more models they will take more damage.
But i would love to know the rules of thumb as to when they'll do the most damage.
I have found because of the way squads react when you try and give them a command (combination of command input delay and all the squad members bunching up when you issue them a command) you are better off just not moving at all if you are not in green cover. Just stay put and and your guys will stay spread out and just take the grande in the face. When ever I have done that the squad takes fuck all damage.
When I do try and micro away the squad bunches up and takes massive damage from the nade. Try it, it works for me. |
Is there concrete evidence of what the damage formula for grenades is? All grenades - rifle, satchel, bundled, etc.
I've been trying to pay particular attention to some recent games and I cannot for the life of me figure out why sometimes a grenade causes instant squad wipe and sometimes it does absolutely nothing. Lots of different squad groupings, squad health, retreat and not retreat, and I can't tell a thing.
Thanks.
The only thing I have noticed is that Grenades do a ton more damage against units in green cover. Other then that I can't pick it either, maybe it's just RNG. |
What is your guys opinion on the new IS-2? IMO, I really don't like it. It is just too vulnerable to everything to be a good tank. I really want to like it, but it just can not take that much damage. Also, the turret traverse is slow as fuck and i'm still losing it to Panthers and such.
I want a good Soviet flanking tank for heavy tank battles, but the T-34/76 can't do anything to a Panther or Tiger, even though a Panther costs 130 now..
Two SU85's rape all Axis Armor. That means don't get an IS-2, just get another SU85, a guard squad for button and all your axis armor problems are solved. |
Build Halftrack, one squad of Pios. Problem solved.
Try playing Ostheer for once? Problem solved. |
I have found that at the moment, except for satchel charges, you are better off just standing in place and eating a grenade in the face and don't move, that you your guys straight relatively spread out. If you try and retreat or move your guys hit the ground and bunch up and dont really respond to your commands and end up being wiped out from the grenade. |
Rails and Metal for CoH1, Moscow Winter for CoH2. |
Seems to be finally fixed.
It appears that Steam somehow didn't want to patch because updates for Vista and AVG were available.
I don't know wth that has got to do with anything, but after that it works.
He who invented this shitty Steam should be Boiled!
lol That's a bit harsh! See you on the battlefield dude. |
I would go as far to say that this should be Relics No1 Issue to resolve. This isn't a minor problem, it affects gameplay so bad and frustrates the hell out of me. I hardly ever yell in frustration at a game, but I am screaming at the monitor with CoH2, my wife is even calling me a "Rager" and says "stop getting mad". |
Ummm...not sure what yuo mean byt 'the matrix'.
And I'm not worrying about next time....it's this time: It doesn't update, meaning I can't play the game! If I don't find a solution, there's not even going to be a next time.
I tried to look at Steam forums, but found no advice on this situation.
Have you tried verifying the integrity of the installation files through steam? |
