Thread: Question about 120mm mortar30 Mar 2020, 18:15 PM Other than the changes mentioned before, standardizing its barrage AoE with its autofire AoE would be a good - near/mid/far for autofire is 1,5/3/4,5; for barrage it's 1,1/3,5/4,5. It's probably a remnant from some old slapdash fix by Relic from back when it fired mini-nukes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should soviet Combat E ngineers be buffed?30 Mar 2020, 11:37 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Mar 2020, 11:10 AMporkloin Nah. To prove his point that CE aren't effective after losing 90% of the map is to game the matchup by retreat path blobbing around his minesweeper. Seriously though, I think this is a bad way of testing whether your strategy is viable or not. It's better to try it out with people that: a) don't know what you're planning; b) are in your "weight category". What others have said before still holds - CEs are (marginally, but nonetheless) more expensive to reinforce than Conscripts, lack good veterancy bonuses, lack anti-tank snare... Even if you take into account the received accuracy penalty, the Conscripts still have roughly 28% more total health and they lose DPS slower than CEs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Caches for OKW30 Mar 2020, 10:55 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2020, 21:49 PMShadowLinkX37 Agree here. The issue is more every cache effects every team member instead of just the player planting it. From design perspective, instead of being a source of passive income, they should be just a way to exchange manpower for fuel/munitions. This way only the executing player receives the benefits and it doesn't screw up as much with the economy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Demolition charges can be placed near capture points28 Mar 2020, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2020, 20:19 PMelchino7 Not necessarily talking about demo requirements but that certain strategic points have different properties, at least hitbox wise (?). Ex: Munition and fuel points are not able to have sandbags been built on top of them while normal strategic points allow. After a quick look, it doesn't really seem to me like these two are connected in any way. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Demolition charges can be placed near capture points28 Mar 2020, 19:50 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2020, 19:31 PMelchino7 Might be related to the sandbag near capture point bug? What is that bug exactly? From what I can see in Attribute Editor, there are no restrictions on placing demo charges on strategic points. I'd say that the most likely scenario is that the correct requirement actions were there, but were accidentally removed at some point, but perhaps they are connected. In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: Demolition charges can be placed near capture points28 Mar 2020, 06:34 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2020, 00:07 AMSkysTheLimit Is it like that for all points now? Cause I've had times where I try to demo a bunker that's too close to a point and it doesn't let me. So it was definitely working at one point. Hasn't happened in a while though The capture point nerf was overkill. It's completely unnecessary if the charges can already be detected by anyone I haven't checked for every point on every map, but it should be plantable everywhere. All the ability does at the moment is pretty much just: "Is the location free of any obstructions? If yes, you can place a demo charge there." Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2020, 02:57 AMJilet Actually its a QoL change since it forces you to change view of map to shoot it. Also being hard to click is super tedious. For the title : Yes demos currently can be placed (even on to) capture points. They can, but according to patch notes - they shouldn't. It wasn't mentioned in any patch notes, so it was either a ninja-change or accident. In: COH2 Bugs

I though this is intentional, since they are visible across half the map without sweepers anyway Well, thx for info After coming back to CoH2 after almost a year-long break, I also thought this was intentional, but apparently not.

Thread: Demolition charges can be placed near capture points27 Mar 2020, 19:21 PM Demolition charges can be planted near capture points, which shouldn't be possible since December 2017 Patch. Here's a screenshot for proof. It's quite easy bug to replicate, so I encourage anybody to do so. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1009310346914067764/7BF732CE09B19B4A279CD95DAEAC54F0497E4BA8/ Reason: I guess this was accidentally reverted at some point? Neither Combat Engineer's nor Commandos version of this ability have any requirements against placing them near capture points. The only requirement they have right now is for open terrain. Solution: I don't know what was the original implementation, but if it can't be replicated for some reason, then adding "near_entity" requirements for each type of capture point with proper radius should work. There was a discussion in another thread about how prohibiting planting demo charges in capture points should be reverted since they can now be detected by any infantry. I faintly recalled that I could plant demos near points, but figured that it was reverted somewhere along the line in the past 2 years. However patch notes don't mention it anywhere, so I guess this is unintended behaviour? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: General bugs & issues collection27 Mar 2020, 17:18 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2020, 16:30 PMSpielführer Afaik even with toggle activated before entering the building it will also shoot on inf That's the current implementation. I was talking about my own, which works properly - the Raketen does not shoot at vehicles when garrisoned, but its crew will still shoot at enemy infantry in range. You can even switch between "Prioritize Vehicles" and "Free Fire" while inside. It's not a complex fix, so I'm wondering whether there are some side effects unknown to me or whether it's a design decision. In: COH2 Bugs
