Thread: Why all the hate for riflemen?7 Jul 2019, 17:39 PM I think Riflemen are kind of awkward because they have a power spike at 3m. They're good if they're hugging the enemy, but it's not very intuitive that semi-auto rifles work best at a shorter range than SMGs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M42 light AT gun canister shot, maybe over nerfed?7 Jul 2019, 17:26 PM Why not just remove canister rounds, and give the M42 an accuracy bonus vs light vehicles like the 6lbr just lost? Maybe that would make its role more distinct? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Machine Guns4 Jul 2019, 20:33 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2019, 08:00 AMKiwiBirb IDK if this can be done, but I think they could add an invisible “coaxial” MG that has no damage, has suppression, has 0 hit chance at close range, some hit chance at medium range, and no hit chance again at long range I think the problem is much more simply solved by increasing RoF and decreasing accuracy at mid-range. The RoF stat is not tied to the weapon's animation; the Maxim actually already has a super high RoF at close range. For flame/damage resistance, that may be a good option if it only applies to the soldier manning the gun. That way, it affects the squad's health less, and may mean fewer death loops if the other soldiers die easier. Oh, and it would have to only apply when stationary or when there's more than 1 guy left. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Machine Guns3 Jul 2019, 17:23 PM What if the Maxim had better suppression out to mid range? It wouldn't be able to lock down a field like an MG42, but it would at least be able to punish a frontal rush against it without an ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lee Enfield sound issue. 29 Jun 2019, 00:12 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2019, 21:54 PMOlhausen Mmm interesting concept but could you explain more how do you do that ? The past year I tried different options but fail. Here's my code for the rifle grenade sound fix! In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Lee Enfield sound issue. 29 Jun 2019, 00:05 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2019, 23:53 PMBardicheAssault Ah I found what you were talking about. However I am not sure what the Lee Enfield sound file is called. So yes, an example would be helpful. Here it is! The sound file names can be found in the world builder if you'd like to know for the future. EDIT: picture fixed In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Do Allies retreating units get smaller target size?28 Jun 2019, 18:49 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2019, 18:34 PMelchino7 For some reason, the M2HB has always been on the receiving end of having weird outdated stats. Also, not sure if snipers and other support weapons have the same values. I don't believe other MGs or snipers use that value. Agreed on that unit- super high damage, really low RoF. It also loses its good penetration at vet 2 because that variant of the weapon was never updated. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Switch abilities of LT and Capt28 Jun 2019, 18:17 PM I think the only issue that's come up with the switch is the captain has improved reload with vet, which benefits bazookas the most. LT should probably get that instead if he hasn't. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Do Allies retreating units get smaller target size?28 Jun 2019, 18:02 PM All squads receive 40% accuracy when retreating, except the M2HB, which is 50% for some reason. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Do Allies retreating units get smaller target size?28 Jun 2019, 18:01 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2019, 17:25 PMGI John 412 That is just plain silly. EDIT: he's talking about "focus fire: false". It doesn't increase or share damage, it means any squad member can be hit by the burst, which leads to more health damage and fewer entity kills. The BAR has that setting, which probably leads to more low-health retreats for German squads. Most close range automatics have that setting (except Thompson), and most long-range automatics do not.
