Thread: KAABOM!!!! - Good Places To Put A Mine.29 Aug 2013, 20:14 PM If you want specific places to put mines you can also load up a map vs. an easy CPU and closely watch the paths your own units take. Fences (walked around), deep snow (avoided), roads (prioritized), even trees (see Minsk) can heavily influence the path units take. Planting mines and tripwire flares where the enemy doesn't expect them can be more effective than planting them where your enemy suspects/expects them even though the maximum damage done (see that M8 mine video) can be smaller (except when catching a vehicle and he doesn't have pios nearby).

Thread: Soviet Sniper Fixed ?28 Aug 2013, 22:24 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Aug 2013, 22:16 PMEkko Tek Doesn't 2 armour already basically = 80 HP? In theory kind of... 2 armor means he has a 50% chance per small arms hit against him to simply ignore that hit and not take any damage from it. However, the lower a unit's base hitpoints get, the easier RNG can ruin your day (e.g. 3-4 hits without any successful armor rolls = dead sniper). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: mortar team balance28 Aug 2013, 09:08 AM The 120 mm mortar thing is due to animation constraints from what I've heard. It has been known and occasionally complained about since beta but tbh I don't think it will be changed anytime soon. Other than that, the German mortar team fires much faster than the Soviet one. This is their perk for being not as survivable and fighting against bigger squads. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 120mm Mortar Precision Strike28 Aug 2013, 08:55 AM Hm... its maximum scatter distance is very low (2.5 metres/feet/whatever), much lower than their AoE radius, anyways. Did you shoot it into the fog of war? Doing so increases scatter by a lot. However, I missed something yesterday: it really seems to have a higher scatter angle (12) when compared to the 82 mm (1.25). This should make it hit too far on the left or right so your observations may well be true. I'd expect it to still hit 2.5 m too far on the left/right... unless I misunderstood something about scatter. So I guess if they'd adjust the angle it would get a lot more accurate. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: 120mm Mortar Precision Strike27 Aug 2013, 23:30 PM From the weapon stats hosted on http://coh2-stats.herokuapp.com/ the 120 mm mortar's precision barrage does 200 damage (normal 80) but seems to keep the same AoE stats. The scatter stats are very accurate (just as accurate as 82 mm mortar's precision barrage). The 82 mm mortar's precision strike does 160 (80 normal) and also gets increased AoE stats (bigger explosion) to the same size as the 120 mm mortar's. So the precision barrage is probably more of an upgrade for the 82 mm mortar but the 120 mm mortar keeps it huge range. Overall, both do a lot of damage. Of course this also increases their splash damage. A direct hit with them will also pretty much one-shot a SdKfz 221/222 vet0/vet1 and heavily damage or finish a SdKfz 251 (240 health). In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: F.A.Q. for everyone.27 Aug 2013, 20:35 PM You see the vehicles on the mini map. On the tactical map you can see what vehicles they are and how much health they have. Radio intercept should give you information whenever the enemy builds a unit. In: Lobby
Thread: Sniper vs. buidings27 Aug 2013, 18:09 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2013, 17:19 PMBlastom The problem is that sniper didn't in the same barracks with mortar. The problem is that if the soviet goes T1, there's no good anti-building option for it. Flamers in M3 is very effective vs. buildings... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript Vet Ability: "Trip Wire"27 Aug 2013, 00:21 AM It is true. It kills one man and reveals the location, making it an actually pretty good ability for just 10 munitions. The enemy squad can't really fight you with one man down and you see which unit(s) are there so you can send in an appropriate response. In: Red Army Strategies
