Thread: Using Conscripts And Weapon Upgrade28 Jul 2024, 04:28 AM Hi all, I am just curious on what you think about this. Conscripts do not get weapon upgrades unless a picked doctrine provides them (for example, ppsh and svt). How come they do not get some kind of weapon upgrade by default compared to other mainline infantry? I just don't understand how they are expected to compete with other infantry when they do not get weapon upgrades (unless you lock yourself into a doctrine). Whenever I play any other factions, the weapon upgrades seem to make my infantry vet up so much faster, while conscripts die so quickly and don't seem to do as much damage. What are the advantages of conscripts to make up for this and how should they be used to win engagements with other mainline infantry? Also, I noticed the description for conscripts says "Effective when fighting in cover." when no other mainline infantry has this (except maybe Brits). Is this true or misleading? In: Strategy Desk

Thread: Does using autohotkey or macros count as cheating?27 May 2018, 04:08 AM Thanks for the quick replies everyone! Jump back to quoted post26 May 2018, 09:46 AMMajorBloodnok @ OP: we even have videos about how to accomplish this. e.g. from Stormless. Wow, I did not know there was a tutorial that mentions this! Jump back to quoted post26 May 2018, 09:59 AMA_E No, and not even in community produced tournaments. At GCS2 our first true live tournament players will be able to send their autohotkey scripts in for verification and I will preload them onto the machines. The idea will be that only simple key rebindings are acceptable and not complex macros. Interesting, so something like simply rebinding a hotkey to buttons on a mouse would be okay, huh? I appreciate it and am glad I can finally set up a really comfortable hotkey for the tactical map. Though, if I were to get in trouble because of it, who do you recommend I contact to resolve or explain I am simply using a macro to rebind a hotkey? I guess I am a little paranoid because I really enjoy playing CoH2. In: Lobby
Thread: Does using autohotkey or macros count as cheating?26 May 2018, 08:07 AM Hello all, I have been wanting to ask if using autohotkey to rebind hotkeys or using macros with a gaming mouse is considered cheating. I have read that this game has an anti-cheat system to detect third-party programs, so I am afraid it would detect autohotkey or macro usage and get me in trouble. Since the game doesn't have a feature to rebind hotkeys by default (which I find a little silly), I simply wanted to rebind the tactical map hotkey (numpad 0) to programmable buttons on my gaming mouse instead. The tactical map helps me immensely in orchestrating plays, unit preservation, and map awareness, but it's on the other side of the keyboard when using grid hotkeys! Will doing this get me in trouble? In: Lobby
