A bit off topic, but how do flares give you loline of sight in the first place? I can see why they are used to mark targets for artillery strike, but give vision? Doesnt make sense to me.

After sunset flares were used at the time to lighten enemy positions so that artillery or snipers knew where to shoot. Such flare ammunition was produced to many different types of guns. This is reflected in soviet mortars and snipers having them to uncover FoW.

If they're at least > 10 range away (because cover goes away within 10 range)
WAIT BUT WHERE YOU GET YOUR STATS TELL ME MAGICIAN

Yeah, true, that one I would tell him if he would ask for help instead of asking for changing the game he doesn't understand... In this case it would be better for him to learn the second part firsthand

Btw. I feel like I'm turning into katitof, what to do doc? Kappa

EDIT: Not to be a scumbag I'll add one more piece of advice: Those key buildings tend to have a side with only one window or even with none. Thanks to the magic of coh2 enemy soldiers in building have to shoot through windows to hit you, but your soldiers that are outside can kill them through wall just as fast as they would facing a window, no matter how strong the wall is. That means you can sit with your squad even without cover and no matter the range and easily win a fight. Obviously in one window scenario it won't work against mgs as they can use all firepower through one window. In that case you can circle around the building and kite the mg, or attack from 2 different directions. Axis and brit mgs take ages to change windows so it should be easy, other factions don't get the T0 mg so they can't rush it to the building.

what I mean the overall statistics of the faction. How many games since last patch has ost won/loss. Even better would be vs brits specifically.

Thats exactly what I am talking about: lets say we have faction A and B. If players are equally skilled faction A beats faction B 80% of times lets say. Now the matchmaker accounts for that and matches more skilled players from faction B with less skilled players from A. That way all of them get 50% chance to win! This is not true only for some number of best players who are so close to the top of the ladder that they are matched against worse players about 95% of times and randomly between themselves about 5% of times. These players all have over 50% win rate as every faction no matter the ballance but slight, like 1-2%, changes of their winrates can show which faction is stronger. You can see their accumulated statistics here: http://coh2chart.com/

I'll let DonnieChan do the honors

this guy probably doesn't even know what you are on about

Btw guys, did you see in the first poll? FREE SQUADS

Panzergrenadiers are OP as well. Their mid range is insane and that needs to be reduced.

Oh god, just read that one. I was recently talking with somebody that AI version of pzgrens is the only unit that is so ballanced nobody ever called it OP. Now my collection of OP threads for every single ostheer and soviet unit is full at last

2nd poll lacks option "they are ok". Also are you sure you are not spamming threads?

Oh, and btw all starting units are worth just as much as they cost, nothing different here.
