Thread: Please explain this....11 Jun 2020, 11:47 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2020, 11:07 AMJohnSmith I am to believe that any unit under fire on a mine will trigger the mine if it hasn't been triggered by the type of unit itself. I don't think so. Many mines get finished under fire, as we could also see in the last tournament, and I can't remember that they would blow up regularly. Actually I can't remember them blowing up due to this at all. It's either a weird bug (it's CoH2 after all) or a very very unfortunate chain of RNG for Latch. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Please explain this....11 Jun 2020, 11:43 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2020, 11:18 AMVipper It possible that attacking infatry manually aimed (probably by accident) at the mine being built instead of the C.E Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2020, 11:20 AMLatch Thats what I thought but if you watch the video no shots land near the mine itself. As Vipper said, the tracers you see are just visual effects as far as I know. The mine though can't be targeted, since it should be invisible to the enemy. I am wondering though if it has something to do with the focus fire mechanic? In the end we don't know how it works, but judging from the texts in the attribute editor this is the only time when scatter for small arms comes into play to check for hits. I don't know by heart if the StG has this mechanic, but it is possible that the mine got hit by this and Latch just got a very unlucky roll of 1. This focus fire scatter hit 2. The shot penning the mine and 3. All this occuring directly after the mine was finished. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Please explain this....11 Jun 2020, 11:03 AM What was the cause of the mine explosion though? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Soviet 82mm flare9 Jun 2020, 13:41 PM I know this bug too. No idea what causes it but it pops up very irregularly. Recently someone reproduced the bug with the mortar barrage not firing. The sequence was (I think) to order the barrage, let the mortar turn and then cancel it. If you then issue another barrage outside of the allowed firing cone, it won't fire. Maybe it's the same issue here, or at least something similar. Maybe shift-chained commands? Or really a cancelled order that got replaced? Does the mortar fire a flare after repositioning to a different location? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Rifles can win MG42 frontal9 Jun 2020, 12:39 PM Alright, that was a very quick and straight forward dive into the sewer. I'll lock this thread since it would go nowhere. @OP: best provide a replay if you seek advice or claim highly unlikely things. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Mortar autofire/barrage change?8 Jun 2020, 09:07 AM I don't think reducing FOV penalty would be a good approach, because it devalues recon. You're still firing at something you can't see, and the barrages are usually strong enough to dislodge the targeted unit anyway. If anything, I'd say trade a nerf in autofire reload for a buff in barrage recharge. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Alt+tab OP8 Jun 2020, 09:01 AM I sometimes get this from the start of the game sometimes I think even without alt tabbing out. No idea what triggers it. Never seen this in another game though, it's a minor annoyance. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Loss in a game that never happened.7 Jun 2020, 06:25 AM Maybe contact your team mate/opponents if they remember that game? Otherwise it looks like you forgot to stop the search and were afk, your team mate could not hold the line alone and you got base raided and either destroyed until the same happened to your mate or the VPs bled out In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: DPS Calculator & Unit Stats6 Jun 2020, 10:32 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2020, 17:18 PMColonel0tto Opening a new tab makes comparisons pretty easy Yes, but Y-axis is often not to scale then and visual comparison is still lacking a lot even if the axis are to scale. It just would be way easier to do it another way. In: Lobby
Thread: DPS Calculator & Unit Stats5 Jun 2020, 16:01 PM One question though: How is it possible with this type of unit selection to compare for example LMG grens versus Bren IS? Everytime I select a squad or a weapon of the table below, the graphs get updated, which means that if I need two selections to get where I want the previous selection gets deleted. In: Lobby
