While i was deleting coh2 on my hardware, i noticed the autohotkey script i had make and thought it would be interesting to release it for everyone.

Autohotkey is a tool used to rebind key, most game have this option but relic in its infinite windsom never dare to make hotkey rebind available in any of its game .. even DOW3

It's a simple script that can be run even by people without autohotkey installed if you use the exe file.
But then, you can't rebind the key.

If you install autohotkey, you can edit as much as you want ahk file and then compile it in a exe file.


the autohotkey script :

#ifwinactive, Company Of Heroes 2

$z::up
return

$+z::
send {LShift up}
send {z}
return

$q::left
return

$+q::
send {LShift up}
send {q}
return

$d::right
return

$+d::
send {LShift up}
send {d}
return

$s::down
return

$+s::
send {LShift up}
send {s}
return

$MButton::Numpad0
return

$+f::
SendInput {f 5}
return

$+t::
SendInput {t 5}
return



$+Wheelup::
SendInput {LAlt down}
BlockInput MouseMove
SendInput {:}
SendInput {LAlt up}
SendInput {' 2}
BlockInput MouseMoveoff
return

$+Wheeldown::
SendInput {LCtrl down}
BlockInput MouseMove
SendInput {:}
SendInput {LCtrl up}
BlockInput MouseMoveoff
return


#ifwinactive
$^z::
Suspend,Toggle
return

and for the people who don't want to install autohotkey, the EXE file :

https://mega.nz/#!8O4RhYzC!E3IxObm2sb4ZLzoj78jwHEWmxoKoYoqtU6LDkMTPakQ

Always run it in ADMINISTRATOR MOD, else it doesn't work.


what the script does :

- make you use ZQSD key to moove camera
but you can still use these keys for other actions, like Q for attack moove, if you press SHIFT & Q.

- press SHIFT & F to make it press 5 times F, usefull when you reinforce a squad.

- press SHIFT & T to make it press 5 times T, usefull when you could abuse a bug to get 2 LMG42 on
grenadiers squad. Don't think it's still working now.

- Mouse Wheel UP to select ALL your units

- Mouse Wheel DOWN to switch between the units that are not doing anything (IDLE). Don't work on vehicle,
only infantry.

- script automaticaly stop if you alt tab to browse internet and work again when get back in coh2.


EDIT : i always used it with the regular hotkey, the one where you use the key "A" to attack moove. I don't know how it would works with the other type of hotkey.

Sorry,I can't find items,values like "matchmaking", "play against real players" in any of the gategories,
especially in ai_settings\default_skirmish_hard

and Enums\ai_difficulty can not be modified.


Can you give some hints?

forget about it

no, i answered your question "how to fix it?"
the answer is "play against real players".

There is matchmaking stuff so you should be put vs people as good (or bad) as you, and it will get rid of AI bug.

+ COH2 ai is very dumb, use maphack and ressource cheat to increase its difficulty but even on the hardest level, it will still moove a sniper right into a mg bunker and not even retreat it.

That's not very interesting to play against.

i actually read it too and i confirm this is more advertisement than journalism.

The sentences GDot quoted are true, but if you need to see briefly how cheap is this "journalist article" just look at the 2 picture used in the article.

They used the same picture of coh2 trailer, 2 times, one time it's even labeled "Dawn of War III is the first full game in the series for eight years" with a damn picture of coh2 trailer 7

Ultimately, COH2 is Relic's game and the state of balance or imbalance is owned by them. It did seem like the balance team had a pro-axis bias but even that would be Relic's mistake since they chose the balance team.

I have been playing Steel Division. It plays more like a simulation than an arcade. It's a lot like Men Of War. I don't think a lot of the people that play COH2 are going to make the switch and stay there. Tanks don't have hit points. Practically every anti-tank gun will kill a Sherman in one shot. Panthers have good frontal armor but if you try charging with one, you'll discover that they have bad side armor and can be killed in one shot from the side.

i wasn't speaking only about steel division, i don't remember the name exactly but i think it's "sudden strike 4" which is quite close from COH2.

but yeah, steel division is way less arcade than coh2 but it get much more funnier when you begin to understand all the mechanics + micro needed to win.
it just reward more the experience and knownledge on units (like you said, a sherman armor is not that good so you got to deal with that. on the other hand, their price is lower so you can buy 2 of them to attack a single german panther).
