PS:
Some games have "Infantry formation options". I wish we had that in CoH, so you can simply order the squad to change their formation (V, line, Crystal, etc.). Hell, even simple infantry spacing modes can be great (And as far as I know, it's easy to implement and Cruzz did that). Just a simple button to let you change the spacing a bit (tight or spread).
Okay, I must have posted this at least a dozen times. There's no way to change formation spacing or the formation itself without spawning in a whole new squad. It can't be done; there is NO modifier for it. I've been elbow-deep in RGDs for years and I've yet to discover this mythical holy grail; there is no magic way to do it.
The fix for this is to fix the spacing and cover spacing in the first place; the maximum squad formation 'size' is 25 m; so theoretically a 5-man squad can have 5 m spacing. Even larger squads can do it, you'd just have multiple rows of infantry instead of a nice skirmish line. |

Come up north, to Massachusetts. Some of the best seafood around, and you'll also discover why drivers from around here are universally referred to as 'Massholes' ))))))))))))) |

Yeap Relic Sov sniper one shotted by dual Osnipers |

Okay. Let's assume, for a minute, that we strike demos from the game right this second. Poof, gone.
Now, what position are the Soviets left in; how will they counter a massive infantry push? We must also take into consideration that fact that some players might purposefully avoid #noskillMaxpins, #noskillGuards, and #noskillSnipoorz.
How are the Soviets going to defend territory when they can't bunker down like Zhe Germanz can?
What about blob counters? The Maxim is...well, I can't say its super awesome since it has exactly 0 area suppression (exaggerated). Flamethrowers? Engies are 4-man Cons, which means they die in the blink of an eye. Backtech to Penals? Okay, I guess; still not mind-blowing effectiveness there.
...SU-76?
Yes yes, 'Demos are irritating to fight against'. Whelp, they're also fairly important, I think, in a faction that has little in the way of holding ground. No bunkers, no massive minefields, and sandbags that are themselves constructed of paper mache. Demos are your 0 pop territory defenders, in the same vein as 0 pop MG bunkers.
Look, I don't have a super awesome suggestion to fix all this, but wiping demos of the face of the earth isn't how to make everything sunshine and rainbows. To do that, we'd need faction Overhauls, and Mama Relic won't let that happen. |
They reacted to stuff like pshrecks, making pshrecks even more effective AI.
Same for AT gun shots.
Basically if everything bigger then rifle bullet landed near a squad, they would shit themselves and hit the ground.
I'd hit the dirt/jump for cover if anything larger than a rifle bullet hit the ground half a meter from my toe. To do otherwise would be...unwise... |

Alex, I could just about smack you upside the head if ever met in person.
I've dealt with enough shit today to really not care for arguing, so, okay, yes, you're right, oh omniscient one; please, bathe us in your leetness--ratchet especially, seeing as you ruthlessly exterminated her 1v1...wait... |
|
Just felt the need to pop in.
Alex, just...shut up man, please. I don't care if you have good intentions or bad, but half the stuff you argue is just wrong man.
What Ohme said is basically spot on, and has been spot on since vCoH came out and I fought my way up the 1v1 ladder until the Lv 15 plateau. Just...just stahp, plz. |

People are forgetting that AssGuards (;D) now have four PPShs and two SVTs after the whole Conscript PPSh change thingy. So they have pretty tits mid-range DPS, and since they have rifles their close range DPS isn't what it could be. If they had 3 and 3, I'd inclinded to like them a little more. |
Short answer: Unless they move the modding tools way up on the to-do list, no it won't.
I can't wait till they add british to CoH: O CoH2; the extreme forces leveled by the new imbalances will create a black hole around the servers that destroys half of Canada.

Okay. Remove the Jackson, replace it with a Roo--said Roo having a single Rifle squad in it, armed with a BAR, three RE Carbines, and a Bazooka. Make it 300 MP and 130 FU.
There, your guys' brand of balance.
Seriously, this is now just pants on head. Jesus H F*cking Christ, use some damned combined arms and shove the Jackson away with a Poopsh*t or your usual Volkshreckadiere blob.
Also, lol. |
