make mortars more accurate and less insta-gibby... I hate having to wait for 10 shells to come down before 1 hits the spot where the mg team is. I also hate losing multiple full squads because my opponent got lucky and had that 1 out of 10 shells that hit be the first one.

In coh 1 bonuses from abilities, vet, ect stacked reliably so there was a good system to deal with multiple modifiers on a unit value. So yes they should stack.

Now mathmatically stacking works in another way, 3% more health is not relative to the base health, but to the health the unit has after other modifiers could allready have been applied, so if i have a unit with 100 hp and have a 3% and then another 3% health increase that results in

(100*1.03)*1.03 hp = 103*1,03 hp = 106,09 hp =/= 100*(1.03+1.03) hp

you might say its only a tenth of a percent difference but with different values the effect can be more significant. In vcoh PE offensive vet gave 15% accuracy bonus, at vet 3 offensive vet they had an 52,0875% bonus (1.15³) instead of the 45% you might expect.

Worst example was the pak-bug where you could apply the modifiers for cloaking a pak multiple times which could then 1-hit a king tiger. It gave 25% damage bonus while cloaking, now this applied 10 times wouldnt result in 250% damage bonus but instead in 1.25^10 = 9.31 times the damage (831% bonus).

now some games choose not to use this (natural) mechanic of stacking, i.e. wc3, but seeing as vcoh used it there is no reason why coh2 should be different
