I use grenade with no effect, a 4 men squad get out and in faster than the USF grenade windup. At this stage smoke nades are just a waste of amo.

Could you have jumped in the building when the 4 man squad exited under threat of grenade?

No - I have the previous iteration of this panel (144 hz) it has built in gsync that exactly locks the monitor refresh to the gpu so no screen tearing etc (unless you go below 30fps)

buttery smooth - great but expensive

ps I have the ACER version as opposed to the ASUS version - they are exactly the same panel but in a different surround. ACER is often slightly cheaper than ASUS (but surround is less lovely)

Also be aware that you can get TN and IPS versions - if your unsure what this means do a little research - they both have pros and cons

If I understand correctly this is a 240 Hz monitor. Do you also need to achieve 240 fps at minimum to benefit from the high frequency?

Yep - don't be afraid of building your own system - its a doddle. PSU is really easy to connect - all plugs are different so you cant mess up.

Having said that you can get bundles where the motherboard, RAM and processor are already set-up and you just put the motherboard in the case connect the GPu and drives and connect the PSU. Specialist companies like overclockers (uk) do pre-overclocked bundles where they have set-up (and guaranteed) the optimum settings and overclock. This can give great value for money.

I have one from 2011(?) still going strong - Ive just upgraded GPU and SSD drives (and added more RAM) over time. Technically my CPU doesn't meet minimum specs for some newer games but I run most of them upto the fps that the GPU can handle due to the overclock.

COH does like to eat RAM (and probably has a memory leak). Honestly you shouldnt really get less that 12-16GB these days and definitely not less than 8.

This is for Mr Smith a few thoughts from the mod games we played today.

I'm not a high level player and was quite poor particularly in game 2 (rails and metal) but unit engagements are unit engagements so..


Game 1

In the first I faced con spam with ppsh's on Elste outskirts. Overall the cons weren't too tough to fight - good old combined arms (mg mortar gren) sent them packing although in the very first gren/con engagement one of my gren models dropped immediately. Damage was done to me via the sniper (protected by cons) and then the T70 - a very shotblocky map made my pak unhelpful.

The only issue I could see was the At grenade/molotov combo rolled into one. The cons were able to pressure garrisons AND cripple my 222 trying to get the sniper. despite this investment the t70 came very shortly after my 222. It was good play against me helped by the map buit I felt reduced to trying to get a lucky mortar shot on the sniper or a teller on the t70. The numbers of cons meant that flanking the sniper with grens was also not helpful.


Game 2 - Rails and Metal

It was a while before you attacked me (properly) and when you did I was slow to reposition/retreat mg's etc but even so the mortar smoke gave me little chance - in my experience I normally find grenade smoke (vanilla game) comes a bit later and people very rarely use mortar smoke against me. It might just be you're more switched on than my usual opponents but I worry that increased mortar smoke range may negate the nerf of rifles losing smoke and possibly cripple ostheer early game. Even if I was playing better I'm not quite sure how I would have countered this well in early game besides being more aggressive with my mortar against yours
