"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.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

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

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback26 May 2021, 14:07 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2021, 13:40 PMPip I've oft stated the opinion that Penals and Cons should both be tier 0 units that are universally affected by the same upgrades/techs, but offer a variation each on the "mainline infantry" role. A faction having two equally viable "mainline" options as standard would be an interesting factional niche. Realistically speaking I think it would take a bit of restructuring to work though. If you're saying that the techs affect both units, then besides mobilize reserves, which already do affect both, you must mean the molo/AT grenade package be expanded to penals as well. So are you saying then that satchels would be gated behind tech in this situation? I think that would be kinda rough. As it is it's not feasible to build T1, T2, and scout car and get a T70 within the timing required to be the most effective & hold for a T34 and that's just assuming that you're only building penals and not supplementing with conscripts (therefore not needing molo/AT grenade tech). Penals already make up for lack of AT gun in tier 1 by having satchels which instantly destroy bunkers(which are otherwise countered by AT guns when unsupported). At that point there would really be no point to go T1 even. You would only ever build it for the sniper lol. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback26 May 2021, 13:33 PM Jump back to quoted post26 May 2021, 11:57 AMrumartinez89 I started playing soviets again to try out the new units and changes. I was wondering if the only way to get Penal PPSH is with the weapon drop? Has there been any thoughts on making the assault package include Penals just like the repair ability. And one last question, what is the damage difference between the assault guard with thompson vs the airbourne with ppsh? I think that would be an interesting idea. I like to have a "conscript focus" loadout in which all the commanders include con repair, and 2 of the three have assault package. I don't think it would be that OP because A.) Penals would bleed more on the approach because they have no way to get close quickly (no oorah) B.) Much more expensive than cons. and C.) they have no snare/ antitank capabilities once upgraded with ppsh (PTRS patched out of PPSH penals long ago). Infact, considering all these things, I would just use conscripts to supplement penals if I went for a penal build anyways lol. In: COH2 Balance
