Thread: Guards grenades vs MG42 in building? no damage8 Oct 2013, 09:08 AM FWIW I have had the same experience as the OP at numerous occasions. It was my impression that this was simply so because the soviet faction is designed for poor performance in general. However, a number of suggestions have been made in this thread and ofc. they are worth trying. It's just funny how those hints are always followed by 'this might not always work because...'

It depends from the distance at which you throw the grenade, you can see this more times on rifle grenades of Grenadiers when they shoot from max distance, but it happens also to Guards and Shock Troops grenades. I never noticed any difference for the grenadier nades. Seems like they cut out about 2-3 men regardless of distance. And speaking of nades into buildings, the gren nades seem much more effective.

Thread: Camoed AT not firing?7 Oct 2013, 09:54 AM Before I dig into this, I'd like to hear if anyone else has had problems with camoed AT going inactive? I've had it happen in two 3v3+ games now that some of my camoed AT didn't fire and couldn't be accessed. I.e. I could neither move them nor remove their camo. And above all: they didn't fire, which kind of made my whole plan of positioning camoed AT come crushing Down. This could in theory be due to lag - I'm not sure? But it does strike me as odd that this particular kind of unit should lag more than other units. If the game as such is flowing allreight, why should AT in particular be lagging? I could provide a replay, but how can a replay show that a unit was inaccessible? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Game breaking items7 Oct 2013, 09:36 AM Command Input Lag is the biggie on your list. The one that Relic should try to eliminate first. I just hate how a perfectly good timed order to toss a nade or something like that, gets totally ignored by the game so the target can shoot me first and escape. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Map rotation7 Oct 2013, 09:30 AM I have to agree with the OP that it sometimes FEELS like there's a bias. I.e. I frequently see that one map sort of glues to the day, dominating the games I play by about 3/4. However, from a statistical point of view I have to say that it isn't significant to prove anything. First of all, atm we have no idea how many players we are pooled with in a search. Secondly, if there aren't many and some have vetoed a certain map, there's a good chance you won't see it played on that day. Thirdly, the number of maps isn't that big - at least not for 2v2+. So getting the same map 3 times in a row isn't that unlikely. Especially not in 3v3+. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: SNF Special Semoskiy Tourney VODs7 Oct 2013, 05:28 AM Very nice indeed. But there seems to be a problem with R4G1 in this thread. It's one of the R3 games (which has been uploaded in 3 positions). In: Sunday Night Fights
Thread: Life without Guards5 Oct 2013, 09:11 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2013, 21:15 PMwooof right now it just sounds like you exaggerated or left out parts of the story to make it fit your argument better. He says his Zis shot 4 times at the Panther. You conclude that they penetrated. But in fact they may have been deflected. And that's where his problem is. It can be very hard during battle to get a clear picture of these hits and misses. If you aren't observant enough - or aware of it - you may even miss it in the replay. What he describes is perfectly possible.I've had similar situations happen a lot of time. So the only question is really if the balance is right if you take the hits/misses into account?

Thread: Please give the MG42 back some bite and other musings5 Oct 2013, 09:05 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2013, 18:04 PMherr anfsim I strongly disagree with this. No troops should be allowed to charge through machinegunfire. Supressing is the only thin i does well, if troops can charge head on it looses its usefulnes and the game basicly turns in to hordes of infantry roaming the map. The removal of "supersprint" was one of the few good changes mad from vCOH. Demanding that some unit can achieve something 100% of the time is a mindset best suited for chess and similar games. This is war. Shit happens and random stuff will play in. That's how it should be and I like it. And again: It's about 2% of the times that an infantry unit can walk unhindered through MG fire.

Thread: Does anyone use the demo charge?5 Oct 2013, 09:01 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2013, 09:36 AMAbdul I don't need to try it, I always used it, and it was brutal against a german base once you sneak in at the right time. Here is one example where engineers do a demo rush and get out alive commando style! No offense it's an interesting bit, but that's totally noobish by your enemy. He has tons of infantry right next to your flamer engie and none of them shoots them? All it would take was 2 seconds of focused fire. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Post-Patch Audio Bug: Low Volume of HQ Voice4 Oct 2013, 08:30 AM I only noticed it because you brought it up here 8) In my games, what I get is a normal announcement to begin with, but the message decays quickly and about half of it becomes inaudible. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Life without Guards4 Oct 2013, 08:27 AM You have only three options in the early to mid game: AT nades, mines and AT. And tbh you need to use them all to stop the inevitable PzIV or Ostwind. In: COH2 Balance
