I don't either, that is not why I brought it up. I did it to tell you that I am no top tier player, but even for me evading all grenades but rifle grenades is really easy. Before units were super responsive, the 1.5 second fuse was usually not enough to evade pretty much all incoming damage. Now it is.
Since the fuse time does not apply to rifle grenades evading them did not get easier.

About the cover clumping: This makes all grenades more efficient, but it doesn't matter since anything but rifle grenades is now easily avoided.

I feel that the last big patch really screwed up grenade balance (even inside the axis faction. why would you ever wanna throw another type of grenade?).

4 models middle, and two on each side in 2 meters from the middle.
But the problem it's not probably rifle nade but propensity for clumping. I mean, why the heal 4 model are so close to each other if they are standing on open, gardening wide area?

Sounds awesome. I was so pumped for Halo Wars and then never ended up buying the game despite following it heavily for the year leading up to its release, but was dissapointed at its final implementation. RTS on xbox though is a stupid idea from the get go though.

Would be a huge time sink though to achieve this project though. I doubt we would ever see it.

So you think Relic implemented the new cover mechanic and unit responsiveness solely to provide a buff to riflenades to add firepower to grenadiers in case they face off against 2 riflemen?

That would be a really convoluted way of balancing.

I don't think that was there intention. I think they implemented those changes because they felt that units moved awkwardly and they had to do something about it. And it was crappy that one model stood out of cover, thus suppressing the whole squad.

Plus it's not like other Axis grenades don't suck as well. Every grenade can be evaded now.

So I really disagree with you, I think you got it wrong why Relic implemented those changes. Those changes were asked for for such a long time by the community. Non-fluent response times kept CoH2 from ever being better than vCoH.
