The probability that they are not going to work is not that high, but it exists. You have to check it to know. Just try to make them as similar to old files as possible: same name and format is a must, it is also worth trying with same length.

If you manage to make it work, make sure you have a copy of them somewhere else in the filesystem. These files may get replaced with original ones with any patch or if you run cache validation via steam.

How have they changed Kuble? The way I see it it is just for harassment and capturing cut off points and the DPS is abysmal. What you think?

The DPS of kubel is actually very good for such a cheap and early unit. It works best in combination with sturmpios who can repair it. Kubel is fast so if you also have infantry nearby you can always flank enemy cover position with the kubel increasing the dps of your forces greatly. Some top players even spam kubels and it is considered abuse by some players. One additional thing to note is that you can use kubel not only to cap and flank but also to push enemy infantry out of cover with the vehicle itself. It is especially effective when closing in with sturmpios at the same time but mind that some players consider that as unfair advantage.

As for ostheer, I don't think you should care about that faction being considered UP. You can use them with great sucess in automatch, where your opponents are always around your elo. Just don't use them in tournaments and you will be fine. As for strategies, sniper is still absolutely OP. Stug and pak40 are still amazing. And don't forget about flame ht in urban maps or against simcity. Pretty much the old stuff works fine as this is the faction that changed the least. I find myself pretty well in sniper into grenspam build recently.

Tell me next time you save your overextended vehicle just by clicking a button like you can do with infantry This is important thing for the comparison of bare gren vs mechanised gren. Especially as there is no commander with 250 and panzer tactitian.

I generally agree that the unit is underutilised for its performance, but I would not go as far as comparing it to "2640 hp grenadier". That is for a number of reasons:
1. Units shooting out of vehicles have only half the chance to hit.
2. All small arms are going to hit the vehicle with probability of 1, while it is not as easy to hit grenadier, especially in cover.
3. There is also rear armour of 5.5 which is much less and you are going to often show it, especially with pios inside.
4. You cant use all the great abilities grens have, this includes not only nades but also for example retreat.
5. Last but not least, grens are resistant to any type of AT, while the ht is going to get heavy damage from it.

Generally, IMO, it is much easier to lose the HT than to lose a squad of grens.

If he aims to play coh2, he should get more than 8GB of ram. Playing on high settings with such little memory is only possible if you turn off absolutely everything in the background. Also, why do you want him to use his memory in single channel? As for cpu I would look at benchmarks with older gaming cpus before buying that one. I wouldn't go for ryzen though as what you need in coh2 is per core power, not two more low performance cores sleeping. PSU is good enough IMO.
