Simple question: How to add killcounters to buildings especially the MG Bunkers?

You might need them to be attached to a squad or sbps like the mortar pit and bofors for it is squad kills rather than entity kills.

thanks for reading and responding to my post.

My point about mobility has to do with modifier units with wheel have for driving on road and crates. I suspect that part of their problems with pathfinding has to do with the fact that the gaps of modifier between road and crates are simply too wide. Imo one should test lowering that gap.

Although I can not test atm it seems to me that you might have to check how effective are these vehicles to kill retreating squads.

I would also suggest testing of removing the DOT from WASP and moving into an ability (it could possibly work as incendiary grenades work)

Imo being able to counter shock troops is not an issue.

Testing of chasing down retreating squads can be a bit hard, but it seems fine still a relative easy fix.



Do not worry, I have toned down the damage and gpu resources, in which you can play around with it in the mod. Instead of point target like a grenade, I decide to look at the Centaur's ability instead. Able to strafe an area with flames.

Also, I fixed the audio issues in the original, so I am more clear. (still uploading)

Rifle penetration being increased to 1.5 with be a ninja nerf to shock troops btw

That was an over sight but they can easily be changed to target size anyways, but to be fair shock troops are over performing. I did some testing, and this may make shock troops more balance at the moment.

You would have to change map design entirely to fit this new mechanic.

I was playing elite mod for a while and got 2nd place in a B bracket tourney so here's my thoughts.

There's a reason why Dow2's eco works. There are no cutoffs, only Requisition points mature, and requsitions feeds into power which is the "fuel" of the Dow2. There is no requirement in getting resources other than capturing a point in Coh2 but in Dow2 you have to invest 125 + 3x100 requsition to get a fully operation power farm which the enemy can bash. Dow2 is all about aggressively decapping and destroying power farm to set the enemy back and there's a lot of mobility offered in that game not present in Coh2. That system wouldn't work here because inherently some points will never get decapped in coh because there's not enough movement mechanics to support such a play.

There is potential for more mobile units. Kubel, M3A1 Scout Car, WC51, and Universal Carrier all could take another look at. I have a video being rendered right now how to balance them, but it could become mobile capture, support, and flanking units.
