The XP kickers when a unit is killed provides XP towards commandpoints.
Since 75% veterancy is received from damage dealt, damaging vehicles with their comparably large HP pool can give quite some experience boost. That's the reason why Panzergrenadiere with Schrecks level up so fast.
Equip your grenadiers with LMGs, they should level up faster than any conscript.
+1
Veterancy for infantry is pretty good,it is in fact a bit in the favor of Germans,Grenadiers make nice vet against Conscripts as Conscripts die very easily...Conscripts obtain more of their vet from AT Nades and lucky molotovs if the German player is sleeping or is a complete retard and doesn't move his Gren squad
What bothers me is the FlamHT veterancy,from 5 or 6 Conscripts killed it already has 1 Veterancy,if it reaches level 2 then it's gg
Oh, he dies to rifles all right.
It's annoying if a sniper escapes a good flank. But you got to admit that in terms of pure small arms fire: Both sniper units have about the same survivability.
Personally I disliked the sniper centric play of CoH1. Intensely disliked it.
I was thrilled with the first tidbits that snipers would now only be able to cloak in cover.
However right now we have one faction with a frail but ever so slightly more efficient sniper and the other faction with a far more resilient sniper unit.
On top of the natural counter sniping risk to the OST sniper the abilities (natural and vet) of other SU units pose very real threats to the OST sniper (already covered in this tread).
All of this might not be an issue if you are a top player and have honed your sniper micro skills in countless hours of vCoH...
For most mediocre players this is a problem.
I like the current asymmetry but a slight buff towards AOE durability could be a way to make the OST sniper more appealing to non pro players.
Escapes ambushes too...maybe it's just bad luck,but if my opponent has a Sniper I chase him with Conscripts on the whole f*****g map...only effective way to kill him is to wait for him behind a wall,corner(Mafia style) etc....Which rarely happens
Or lucky random shots from mortars,SU 85,ZiS guns or other units that aren't meant to counter him in the first place...
I had this problem a few days ago everytime I finished a game,altough my game would go CTD with bugsplat at the end of the game,before seeing statistics,etc...and even won games appeared as losses,obviously because I dropped,no?
From 2 drops I reached 18 in 3-4 days...Update your graphic drivers,turn the resolution or video settings a little lower...but I think it is from the drivers,try these,worked for me
