Thread: Counter against 120mm Sovjet mortar18 Oct 2013, 16:42 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 14:20 PMMorgolKing if I recall correctly you can still save the crew even if you only have one man remaining (he doesn't run off the map) That is correct. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unused abilities18 Oct 2013, 16:36 PM I absolutely love Target Weak Point, medkits, and the sniper Incendiary Explosive Round. The last one is pretty situational, but I used it yesterday to stop a charging shock + conscript blob. It must have stunned about 10 guys, which gave me the chance to retreat/reposition my units. In the same game I used it on some conscripts that were trying to steal my MG42. With the stun and the sniper's vet 2 increased fire rate I was able to shoot out the 3-man crew before it could pack up and retreat Just make sure to focus the guy manning the gun! I always forget about those trip wire flares. I did lose like two snipers to trip wire flares in one game, however, and now they are on my mind again. In: Lobby
Thread: Ask the Strategist!18 Oct 2013, 14:45 PM Dear strategists, In almost all of my recent games as Germans I've been facing the same Soviet strategy: 3 or 4 conscripts, molotovs, 2 shock troops, AT nades, T3. I've been having trouble playing against this, and here are my questions: 1) Blob-control help: I feel like I'm getting bum-rushed-to-the-face by conscript and shock blobs. Even an MG42 pointed straight into a tight grouping doesn't necessarily suppress all the squads. Am I imagining this, that it does very little suppression to squads adjacent to the one being targeted? Am I using it wrong? 2) what do you recommend to counter this strategy if things are going well, and what do you recommend if things are going poorly? xoxoxoxoxoxo computerheat In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Make weapon upgrades consistent!18 Oct 2013, 14:23 PM This song is obviously a dialogue between an LMG and a Grenadier squad: In: Lobby
Thread: Make weapon upgrades consistent!18 Oct 2013, 13:30 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 09:28 AMsevenfour Pgrens - if a guy with Schreck dies, the Schreck gets dropped/destroyed. You need to pick it up or re-buy. Guards - if a guy with DP lmg or PTRS rifle dies, it gets dropped/destroyed. You need to pick it up or re-buy. The weapons are never destroyed. Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 09:28 AMsevenfour LMG Grens - if the guy with the LMG dies, another LMG spawns in the hands of another squad member. It get so far that when you kill the squad one by one like this there are FOUR LMGs lying around...mental This is not how the system works at all. When you upgrade a Grenadier squad with an LMG that squad gets one, and only one, LMG. If the man carrying the LMG dies it magically appears in the hands of another squad member. If the whole squad dies, the LMG can (always?) drop. They don't duplicate. In: Lobby
Thread: Turbo charged arms race18 Oct 2013, 11:43 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 09:50 AMBabaRoga For me its more please no more 12 different kinds of mortar, airstrikes that kill everything in half map radius for half hour and can't wait for a DLC with Rambo and Chuck Norris (one man army that shoots tanks with arrows) But hey, we all like different things.......... +1 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Company of Heroes New Steam 2v2 Tournament18 Oct 2013, 10:32 AM I want to make a newspost about this so that more people will sign up! I have something ready to go, but need an image. The staff artists are pretty busy on various secret project, however. If anyone wants to make an image to advertise the tourney, please follow these guidelines and send it to me with a PM: http://www.coh2.org/index.php/file/download/file_id/86 It is best if the image is 850x250 pixels. Thanks and good luck! In: COH Central
Thread: Turbo charged arms race18 Oct 2013, 09:13 AM I just want to point out that the MG42 has an anti-armor ability, Incendiary Armor Piercing Rounds. I don't know how effective it is against anything bigger than a T-70, but it does already exist! Also, Panzergrenadiers can be upgraded with G43s. So that also already exists. Again, if you want to talk about the effectiveness of the upgrades, that's a different story. Oh yeah, and the Zis gun has an artillery barrage ability, which is good against infantry. I think some of the suggestions you made would make the units in the game too same-y for my tastes. I like that units like Shock Troops have a specialized role (ie kill everything with legs; die horribly to anything without legs). As for generalist units, that's basically what Grenadiers and Conscripts are for. Panzergrenadiers and Guards, too, but to a lesser degree. Oh, and please, please no more defensive structures. (Although the Soviet barbed wire field from the beta was kind of interesting) In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Counter against 120mm Sovjet mortar18 Oct 2013, 08:54 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Oct 2013, 08:44 AMlethalpi Interesting, you mean drive in to range, fire and drive back right? Or using incendiary? Often used start: gren, mg, gren, gren, T2, halftrack/pgen Incendiary is great if you can afford it. Normal barrage will at least force the 120mm mortar to move. You probably won't be able to destroy or steal the 120mm, so make sure you keep your mortar HT alive to do counter-mortar work throughout the game! Also, if your halftrack is un-upgraded, you can put your infantry inside of it and use it to capture points that are being hit by mortars. The HT will take damage, but you won't suffer manpower losses while capping. In: COH2 Gameplay
