"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Thread: Can someone please explain how handbrake mode works.28 May 2021, 12:45 PM It's nice when it works. Key word: "when" EDIT: It was interesting to find out that when you have units inside the M3, the units take small arms damage before the half track does. I don't know if that's the case for all halftracks. I'm gonna find out on my own. EDIT 2: Ok so it seems that this isn't actually usually the case. I have no idea how to replicate what happened in the video lol. I made the pioneers invulnerable for the test but I don't recall doing that to the M3 halftracks. EDIT 3: After a short while more testing, I realized that the reason that it was happening was because the engineers were closer than the halftrack? It seems that the halftrack is untargetable when facing backwards, and infantry can only target the troops in the back. EDIT 4: The halftrack isn't untargetable, but troops only auto-target the troops inside the carrier when the M3 is backwards. They will shoot at the M3 if you manually select it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Can someone please explain how handbrake mode works.28 May 2021, 12:33 PM Jump back to quoted post28 May 2021, 10:39 AMKurobane They should really update/increase the cone of fire for many vehicles in the game as that is one the main issues that causes vehicles to spin since they have this need to want to face everything they are attacking. For example Universal Carriers main gun has a 15 degree angle, while a Kubelwagon has a 30 degree angle in which the gun can move before requiring the vehicle to turn. Realistically these weapons had a much larger cone in which they could shoot in real life. Now granted real life shouldn't be used for balancing purposes however the cone angle is so small on some vehicles that it is rather ridiculous. Its like taking a Panzer 4 which has a turret and requiring the vehicle to always face the enemy even though it has a turret that can move. Hell non turreted vehicles like the SU-85 have the same 15 degree angle as a mounted tripod Machine Gun which literally makes no sense at all. I would like to see a quality of life patch that addresses this on some vehicles in cases that make sense. It would help with vehicle pathing and usability on many vehicles instead of trying to create a bandaid via Handbreak. Also a bandaid that doesn't even work once troops are inside, I might add lmao. Yes, handbrake stops the M3 from rotating when there's nobody inside, but once there is it will rotate automatically for some reason. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Can someone please explain how handbrake mode works.27 May 2021, 20:31 PM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2021, 20:09 PMEtherealDragon I was under the impression that handbrake mode just prevented Half Tracks from unwanted rotating. So if you were using a M3 as a clown car it wouldn't rotate to try and fire it's main gun unless told to (which would count as movement and the passengers would be less accurate) Didn't know that. Yes, that's what it does, I just tried it. The handbrake mode description makes it seem like it should be the same as the AA halftracks ("The vehicle will not respond to movement commands...") For the 251 though I would really rather it not be selectable. It's not like troops inside can fire outside. I would rather it be a static reinforce bunker when I need it to be and not have to fiddle with infantry around it. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Can someone please explain how handbrake mode works.27 May 2021, 20:03 PM Alright. You've got your USF AA Halftrack and turn on handbrake mode; boom, it doesn't move when you tell it to. That's all fine and dandy, but what about handbrake mode on the M3 halftrack and and the 251? People have said "oh well in handbrake mode, halftracks prioritize reversing" nah, not that I can see. I have a M3 set to handbrake mode and one not, and they both move in exactly the same way. I can't discern a difference. At this point I just feel like everyone else is suffering from the placebo effect on this ability and it's actually just bugged. Anyways, I would rather handbrake mode prevent the halftrack from moving, period, instead of "prioritizing reverse" even if it did actually work. That's what the reverse hotkey is for. Can someone please help me out here. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: When is the new Commander update coming out?26 May 2021, 19:17 PM I legit cannot wait for it to go live. I want my commissar reserve army doctrine. As far as when it comes out... it was said that it would be released after ML5. How long after? Well that's for the dev team to know and us to find out lol. In: COH2 Gameplay
