Profile of Cyanara

In the case of those who have provided their Steam ID to coh2.org, how feasible would it be to put a link on the playercard that takes the viewer to their site profile?

They're currently a bit detached, and it's hard to work out if someone is actually a member on coh2.org just looking at their playercard.

Cheers.

I know that thinking of ways to make Brits better is hardly the paradigm right now (with the one possible exception of their dismal artillery accuracy/AOE).

However, a new patch approaches to change that, and in the meantime I've been wondering whether anyone really bothers with PIATs?

Relic mercifully made the PIAT appropriately cheap from the outset given its relative uselessness (*cough*bazooka*cough*), but there is the undeniable catch that it still uses up a very valuable weapon slot. It's hard not to see more value in double Bren, or leaving the slot empty and hoping to find a loose panzerschrek (or even bazooka!).

One possible option would be giving the squad an extra weapon slot when you upgrade to 5 men. The catch is that they already start dropping weapons like crazy at vet 3 because of how their bonus lee enfields count as extra weapon slots. This would make that even worse.

A more practical alternative is perhaps if PIATs became a timed ability that could be activated per squad for a nominal munitions cost. This is similar to AT snares, but with multiple shots (plus at least 2 units shooting) and no snare ability. You'd probably still need to unlock this with the same upgrade, but it would allow you to react situationally to armour with only a temporary loss of anti-infantry ability. And while it leaves a slot open for more weapons, it delays your ability to purchase those weapons.

Thoughts?

Upcoming patch notes:

"Games will no longer desync for the remaining users when one user quits the match"

Until then, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, the whole thing is a synchronous simulation based on instructions in the replay file, and rules in the game files. It most likely wouldn't know what happens at a certain time without playing all of the game up to that point. This would also likely have a lot to do with a lack of a rewind option.

Planetary Annihilation has a robust replay system, but that probably comes out of the game processing replays in a very different manner.

Hull down on elefant would be particularly useless, no? Without a turret, it would basically be a vastly more flankable version of a Pak43.
