Thread: OKW Incendiary grenade needs to be looked at24 Sep 2015, 10:26 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 10:08 AMIron Emperor Haven't used it yet, still no throw animation like other nades? technically it does have a throwing animation, but it's very short. If I'm reading the stats, right, the throwing animation is only .25 seconds. Note that there are other grenade with a .25 seconds throw time, but those grenade are usually used by elite troops with a 1.25 seconds fuse. If I recall correctly, the other "quick" grenades in the game are shocktroopers, guards, panzergrenadier, Fallshirm, ober, and commandos. Shocktrooper have the fastest explosive grenade in the entire game, in terms of throw time and fuse time. IIRC it's .25 second throw time with a .75 second fuse. Most people seems to be not aware of it since Shocktrooper do well enough with their ppsh. I think the incendiary grenade would have been better on the sturm. Right now the grenade is still instantaneous at close range. Giving it to the sturm wouldn't have change the balance too much since the sturm are already good at close range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is heavy artillery not a necessary role?24 Sep 2015, 05:49 AM at this point the Pack howitzer is actually good enough to be considered "heavy". In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: September 24th Hotfix Patch Notes24 Sep 2015, 05:34 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 05:11 AMAlexzandvar The delay in the spawning of the projectile is what determines how fast you through it. As both grenades when flying through the air are not actually the weapon, they are just a projectile linked to a weapon. I don't really have time (since it's 1 am....) to go in game and test to perfectly time every grenade but as far as I can tell windup doesn't have any relation to throw time because Volks throw takes long than .25 seconds (which the weapon indicates as it's wind up time...) where did you learned this? the game event thing was not there in coh1. I think the game event is an cue that cause the soldier/model to shout out warning ("WATCH OUT GRENADE!!!!"). In: Lobby
Thread: September 24th Hotfix Patch Notes24 Sep 2015, 04:38 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 04:02 AMAlexzandvar I'm not talking about wind down, I'm talking about the delay before the ability activates and spawns the projectile. You will notice that all windup's in the game files are small enough to be contained inside the delay action for throwing the grenade. use accessory weapon != game event action. I don't know what the game event do, but I think it's mainly book keeping Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 03:05 AMAlexzandvar It can't be thrown farther, it just is thrown faster (as in leaves the hand of the soldier faster, not actually flies faster). the weapon range on the molly is still 15 even if the ability range is 20. In this case the weapon range limitation wins out. In: Lobby
Thread: September 24th Hotfix Patch Notes24 Sep 2015, 03:59 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 03:45 AMAlexzandvar The throw animation is 3.6 for Molotov and 1.5 (info found in abilities, these two numbers are the delay to account for the animation) for Incendiary nade, and since the Molotov moves at 10 speed to the Incendiary's 5, this means if you throw at something at 15-25 range the molotov will hit faster, below that the Incendiary will hit first. Basically if your using it for anti garrison the molotov is better because it hits faster at a longer range, but for just throwing down in front of you the incendiary is better. Really as you said the 35 munitions for the incen grenade is to much considering how finely split the molotov and incendiary nade is. wind down doesn't matter for throwing grenades, since that's just animation after the grenade have left the thrower's hand. Wind up is the only thing that matter, and in that case it's 1.8 on the molly verus .25 on the volks. a short wind up is important because your troops can move or retreat once the grenade is in flight. Throwing the molly leave conscript vulnerable In: Lobby
Thread: Stormtroopers - Ostheer's Orphans23 Sep 2015, 07:00 AM stormtroopers are fine. Its only problem is that it's in a very niche doctrine. Both the kv-2 and the stormtroop will benefit greatly from being in a more conventional doctrine. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Can we please give brits some viable artillery?22 Sep 2015, 09:18 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2015, 16:54 PMSedghammer I've found the most effective artillery is from a vet 1 sniper and after T3 is researched. Not only do you not pay munitions like you do upgrading a infantry section, you get both howitzer barrages. The flare can be thrown further than infantry sections, and if you leave your sniper cloaked, throw it and immediately re-cloak, it's not such a risk. It gets even better if you go anvil. Otherwise I don't find artillery for the Brits to be worth it. the flare throw range is 30, close enough for enemy small arms to hit him. If there's an enemy position tough enough to require the use of artillery, the last thing I would do is risking a 360 mp unit on an artillery run. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Air Supremacy is just completely OP 21 Sep 2015, 23:22 PM lower cost to 275, but the ability should consistently knock the truck hp to 40%. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: FYI: Hotfix is coming!!!! 21 Sep 2015, 21:42 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2015, 20:45 PM5trategos Not a very good way to make your point considering the Volks' nade is currently better than the bundled nade. The point still stand in regard to rifle vs para and mills bomb vs light gammon. the volks' flame nade is also getting nerfed, any ~~minute~~ day now.... In: Lobby
