The way to fix vehicle pathfinding is by adding a 'forward' button to match the 'backward' button.

Then we can control whether the vehicle moves forward or backward independently of where we click on the screen or the orders we give it.

@whitesky00, Myself

Both of you are saying the same thing. However, what you are saying is lost in translation.

What whitesky00 said (and is correct) is:
- We have 3 terms: "autoattack, "attack ground", and "barrages"
- "attack ground" uses the same stats as "autoattack"
- It is possible to issue "attack ground" into the FoW (Fog of War)
- thus, what Myself claimed (i.e., you can only barrage into the FoW) is incorrect

However, what I'm saying is:
- If autoattack gets nerfed, the cooldown of barrages might get buffed
- That way, you will be able to fire into the FoW more frequently (assuming you don't know the Attack Ground trick)

@Virtual Boar
I think I also got lost in translation. What I meant was take the Panzerwerfer
- If you overbuff the Panzerwerfer/Mortars/we will discourage blobbing
- However, you will also discourage people from investing into infantry/you-name-it at all

Please read the clarification post carefully:
https://www.coh2.org/topic/49543/mortars-howies-nerf-autoattack-maybe-buff-barrage/post/494427

You will see for yourself that Mortars will still do a pretty damn job at punishing clustered units (even with autoattack). However, you won't be able to see any "filthy" squad wipes as often.

Man, auto attack doesnt allways hit the target last place of the target. Often it works to hit the moving target, it calculates the place where the target is going to be. You will never, never do the same with barage because of its stupid cool downs.
Only broken indirect pf all factions atm is the british pit, it has too big range and is too strong atm. I think the health should be tooned down a bit.
Everything else is easy counterable.

Dont fix what is not broken.

"Bofors almost never goes past 1 vet... is it a bad unit? No, it denies pretty well. "

Yep, denies, kills and suppresses. The reason it doesn't vet though is due to the fear factor of facing one, it has a pop at a squad and is then either overwhelmed later in the game or ignored.

The UC though has rather low vetting requirements, it doesn't vet because it doesn't kill jack, doesn't deny, doesn't protect squads inside and doesn't really help in any way, other the providing some temporary green cover once it goes up in flames.

Best garrison clearer really? We must be playing different games. Asking a UC to fire on a squad in green cover seems to result in 1 model killed after about 30 seconds. It might distract a garrison but it certainly doesn't clear them.

The UC would be top of my list, even with the upcoming no fuel cost I'm struggling to think of a use.

Churchill second, a heavy tank ( and a very slow heavy at that) which costs more and has less armour or firepower than many mediums.

Each to their own though, which is rather my point. It is far more interesting playing against someone who has their own style or uses units you are not used to facing than a constant stream of scrubs who ape the build orders and priorities of tournament players.

It is a shame that the cost of each unit isn't dependent upon it's popularity. Or indeed that spamming wasn't financially discouraged in some way. Having three Volks on the field at one time = normal. Add a fourth and you pay more for it, a fifth and it starts to get pricey.

If no sod has built a 17pdr emplacement in a week ( quite possible) then why not sell it cheap to encourage their use?

Would also be nice to see stats not just on the Top150 players but on the whole playerbase and individual units. Would certainly help to inform balance discussions if the average damage given and received by each unit was known.
