Jaeger Infantry. If you want to have real fun with them get a MG to vet1. Make your MG holdfire. If you see an enemy unit coming near activate Incendary rounds. The MG will load the rounds while invisible. Wait untill they are as near as possible and open fire. You will have a very good chance to kill the whole enemy squad in seconds.

The RNG is really too damn high. I'm sick of my vet 3 squads being one shot by the first mortar shell to land in the area. Like seriously, what the fuck is that?

I'm sick of my flamer tanks exploding in the middle of a blizzard because a Pio model died from the cold. And for that matter, I'm sick to fucking death of Blizzards as well.

I'm sick of my squads being shit on by critical hits, and I'm sick of my AT guns being one-hit by tanks.

I like elements of randomness to CoH. It adds characters and it's a trait of Relic games to have some random factors.

But Jesus tap-dancing Christ, there is simply too much bullshit in this game. I should not be losing ANYTHING to a single hit without a shit tonne of warning first(With little exception, like for eg. if you build a sniper you should expect a counter snipe without warning). The reason why the Satchel Charge isn't overpowered as fuck is because you can see a Penal Batt. run up to you and you know he'll throw it, and when he does you have 2.5 seconds to gtfo. The reason a Stuka bomb isn't OP is because you can hear the engine a mile off. The reason artillery isn't OP is because you get audio and flares.

Yet why is it that all this other crap stays in the game? My squad all bunching up into a blob that should only fit one model and being one-shot by an SU-85. My vet 3 PzGrens being instantly killed by a mortar while idly capping a point. My pioneers walking towards the cap point and suddenly they burst into flames because a Conscript got a lucky shot.

These are all really shitty elements of RNG.

Good elements are the vehicles recrewing, the weapon drops, the vehicle dynamics, that kind of shit.

Exactly this. Nothing more to say.

Since HtD gives yellow cover instead of a 0,5 received accuracy, the cover ignore from point-blank range should be applyed. Or not?

I definitly don't say HtD is in a bad spot even with this, because it still increases the dps of the squad because it doesn't move around/crawls on the ground instead of shooting. And you get the surpression immunity.

This is mostly a "issue" with fights against Pgrens who like to get close.

I would love if the bulletin would be eradicated. And instead it the Mg had 10% more surpression as standard .

I can't talk about the actual thing because I only had it in the beta. But there it was really usefull. Most of the time you will need 1 burst less.

I really think they should delete the bulletin, and give it to every MG42 for free, AND nerf German and Soviet Mgs durabillity against flanks.
Problem solved.

^^lol.

German infantry requires careful attention to squad health, you must keep squads alive and gaining veterancy. Once Shocktroops/Guards/PenalBattalions and Molotovs roll out keeping squads alive gets more and more difficult.

German Snipers need to be babysat even more (1man), and scoutcar are constantly threadnend to run into guards or Orah!ing Conscripts who throw a At-nade. During that you have to micro all your other forces.

Micro is not really an issue for Soviets. Their even more durable Mgs with 6 man. (They are more durable if you compare Gren/Conscript damage).Other than that all you have to do until mid-late game is click "at-nade" and rush conscripts close to German forces and Hit-the-Dirt, and maybe launch some Molotovs.
Clowncar micro is easyer than Armoredcar micro, because they kill shit, have engineers with them, and you only have to move into the enemy, (kill shit) and back out. Its way more difficult too micro your Armoredcar always right out of at-range, but still have it participating. (Not to mention Guards and button). Flamerht: Button/at-nade --> At-gun. But yeah the FlamerHT doesn't need that much micro.

It does not surprise me that Soviet players continue to dominate the tournaments. I think "exploit the powerful Soviet units(snipers, clown cars, SU85)" is pretty accurate. Most people are not as good with their micro, thus they prefer Soviets easy wins, even if they wouldn't admit this is the reason.
