Thread: Rethinking Sandbags, Tank Traps and Barbed Wire27 Jun 2019, 18:40 PM Excuse the offtopic post but I just wanted to smuggle these in since trenches are being mentioned. Both are brilliantly made by Widerstreit, first one he meant as a rework for normal trenches, second one you could make trench lines ala WW1 which we thought would be best used for the Eastern Front Armies since they had a fair amount of trenches there, especially around the Kurks area. They could double up as anti-tank ditches since they allow the movement of vehicles over them but slow them down significantly. Also another note, these trenches provide the same Green cover as other objects but the trenches themselves provide a damage reduction debuff of sorts, I forgot what exactly he told me he put them, so think of it as Green cover on steroids where it's around 30 or so % better than regular Green cover.

Thread: New USF doctrine is too good27 Jun 2019, 16:51 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2019, 15:51 PMGrumpy USF does need a meatshield tank. The only problem with your suggestion is that there isn't a model for the Jumbo, unless Relic would be willing to use the model for the Easy 8 as the model for the Jumbo. I'd be happy with even a non-doctrinal Easy 8 (make it a side upgrade on Tier 3). If that happened, Rifle Company could replace the Easy 8 with the Pershing which would help that commander greatly. There is a community one in my signature. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New USF doctrine is too good27 Jun 2019, 15:11 PM I'm still thinking that giving them a meatshield tank in the form of the Jumbo would be a better alternative than cheap and borderline OP gimmicks for the regular Sherman but that's just me I guess. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rethinking Sandbags, Tank Traps and Barbed Wire27 Jun 2019, 14:40 PM I like your realistic approach to infantry warfare but sadly as you have guessed it, it's not for this forums' liking. And in reality, it wouldn't make sense for infantrymen pull sandbags out of their pants and start stacking, most were equipped with only a shovel so digging a foxhole or shallow trench of some sort for a lightly dug in position would make more sense. I had an idea of giving all infantry units the ability to "dig" foxholes which were going to be represented by explosion crater splats but my idea kinda fell through when I didn't really know how exactly to implement it sadly, or how it would work for a 5 or 6 man squad. It would make sense and give infantry light cover at the very least tho. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Pgrens and penals need some changes27 Jun 2019, 14:28 PM I think an interesting idea is to switch the Grens and PGs' places and make T1 have upgrades for the PGs like it was with the PE in CoH. You'd have an upgrade that unlocks the repair function, the tank coordination ability and so on instead of them being so good and early straight out of the gate. If you plan on using them you can invest in improving them, just a thought. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Super AT Guns27 Jun 2019, 14:22 PM I mean, define engine limits really, most stuff like them being able to move it is possible already, we just lack the animations because SOMEBODY decided to lock model editing and importing, animation editing and making, texture editing and importing and so on and so forth. Anyhow, rants about limited modding aside, the only thing I'd really give them is some sort of ability to pack up and move or be destroyed, that's about it. They're largely useless like most other emplacements when the fighting is outside of their range and just serve as monuments really to hamper your manpower and popcap as well as space sometimes. It would be nice if we had special towing trucks that could move them around or something similar to this video but again, lack of animations: You can make the unit be "garrisoned" inside the vehicle without animations tho, just a headsup, I did it a long time ago in my mod with the Opel Blitz: In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What happened27 Jun 2019, 14:13 PM I'd say that an Italian-German Army is still possible, we got most of the German equipment that they'd use right now anyhow, besides the 88 of course, well, and the Italian weapons and vehicles, but as far as infantry goes, just reskin the Osttruppen and give them new voices and boom, Italian infantry, well and change up some mechanics of course.

Thread: Replace Relief Infantry by Ostruppen？27 Jun 2019, 12:10 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2019, 11:38 AMLago Even if it were it's a really dumb ability. "Squad, command has issued us reinforcements!" "But only on the condition that six of you kill yourselves charging that machine gun over there." Yeah some sort of cheap reserve squad that can merge and stuff. I'd really, really like to see AT rifles on Osttruppen. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Replace Relief Infantry by Ostruppen？27 Jun 2019, 10:37 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2019, 10:19 AMLago Then we simply disagree. I think 'order your troops to commit suicide to get more troops' is dumb as fuck. Agreed, the trade of ammo and expensive men from small squads is not worth the reserves you get. In: COH2 Gameplay
