Thread: Make weapon upgrades consistent!18 Oct 2013, 12:43 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 11:08 AMQvazar It works like this: A pgren squad has 2 schrecks and will then only drop schrecks if there is less than 2 soldiers in the squad. A guard squad has 6 soldiers and 4 droppable weapons. So if there is less than 4 soldiers remaining, weapons will be dropped or destroyed. A grenadier squad with LMG has only 1 droppable weapon, so it can only drop on a squad kill. If they had 2 LMGs, the extra LMG will drop or be destroyed if the 3rd soldier in the squad dies. It makes perfect sense the way it is now. Jup this is how it works, only the drop doesn't always happen, it is a certain chance (would need to look up how high). On topic: I think this is a horrible idea. In: Lobby
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression17 Oct 2013, 11:17 AM If you can get a molotov onto them, sure, go for it if there aren't too many enemies. It forces the LMG to move, making it lose a lot of damage and its cover. You can then use the damaged Conscripts' Merge ability to fill up the Penals so they are fit to go on. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression17 Oct 2013, 11:07 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2013, 11:02 AMSarantini I thought the lmg was made less effective at short range? Or are you just suggesting to decrease the damage of the lmg at range. SVTs on penals are just all in all weird, their tooltip and upgrades point to close range killers (flamers and satchel) yet they perform the best at range. The LMG's long range DPS was decreased, its short range DPS is the same as before the patch. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Suggestion: penals immune to suppression17 Oct 2013, 10:47 AM I think making them immune to a core game mechanic is a bad way to go. With the LMG42 long range DPS decreased (normalized to the level of other weapons), I think the way to go for now should be a decrease in their build time. This means Penals can finally fulfill their long range DPS role, which they can keep up for a long time from cover and pretty cheaply when Conscripts merge into them. One main reason for their lacking performance (being beaten at long range DPS) is now gone. This means that the meta might shift into a more penal-friendly state all by itself. The decreased build time would still be good so the massive hole in field presence created by long build times of T1 + penals is decreased a bit and to incentivize people to try them out again.

Thread: Anyone use an M5 halftrack?17 Oct 2013, 10:39 AM I really like it when going T2-T3 and usually get one after my first T-34. It helps keep the AT guns and my Maxim on the field longer (and cheaper, 15 MP reinforce instead of 20 MP merge) and the conscripts also profit a lot from not having to run over the whole map. I often don't upgrade it because the unit is great and filling its purpose without it already but if I have a lot of munitions it can be worth it for some support fire. Not upgrading it also means you can put a flamer, flanking PPSh conscripts and/or Guards in it if you need to. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: CoH2 Replay Analyzer17 Oct 2013, 10:27 AM I really love it! Can we suggest more features? If so, I'd love to see graphs like fuel/muni/MP float (maybe even with little symbols displaying build orders?) and some of the other post match stat screens. But it is already great In: News
Thread: For Mother Russia16 Oct 2013, 19:32 PM If "multiply_add" is doing what I think it is, it does +100% damage, +100% armor, +2 posture speed (no idea what that one is) for 60 seconds. Afterwards it is 50% damage dealt and double damage received for 60 seconds (and -1 posture speed, whatever that is). At least this is what I read from the file, it looks rather repetitive with only very small differences between repetitions. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Shock Crew on IS2?16 Oct 2013, 15:31 PM I thought so too (the patch) but the 1 in 6 chance is in the IS2 weapon file: Code "on_deflected_actions": [ { "$REF": "action\\random_action.lua", "instant": false, "random_actions": [ { "actions": [ { "$REF": "action\\trigger_critical_action.lua", "critical": "vehicle_crew_shocked", "remove_at_health": 1 } ], "weight": 1 }, { "actions": [ { "$REF": "action\\no_action.lua" } ], "weight": 5 } ] } In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Shock Crew on IS2?16 Oct 2013, 15:08 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Oct 2013, 07:55 AMAbdul so 20% chance? is it the same for the Tiger? These are the ones for the Tiger. The IS-2 has a 1 in 6 chance, so ~16.7% In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Shock Crew on IS2?16 Oct 2013, 07:22 AM I don't think there is a bug. It is simply a chance for the crew shock critical with a weight of 1 on deflection and a chance to do nothing a weight of 4. Code "on_deflected_actions": [ { "$REF": "action\\random_action.lua", "instant": false, "random_actions": [ { "actions": [ { "$REF": "action\\trigger_critical_action.lua", "critical": "vehicle_crew_shocked", "remove_at_health": 1 } ], "weight": 1 }, { "actions": [ { "$REF": "action\\no_action.lua" } ], "weight": 4 } ] } In: COH2 Gameplay
