Why does the flamethrower upgrade for the British Sappers cost 65 munition? Is the British flamethrower different from the US Engineers or German Pioneer flamethrower, which both cost 45 munition?

I support this.

It is interesting to see how the battlefield map changes from the beginning of a game to the end...

Recently, the US Ranger Captain and Wehrmacht Propaganda Volksturm Officer had their squad size increased to 3 people instead of just the officer alone by himself. I think it may have been overlooked that the increased squad size now prevents the officer from boarding a Jeep or Schwimmwagen as a tra...

Since E8s vs 76 Shermans are being discussed in the other forum, I am curious if Warhawks and Wald believe the E8 is "worth" the additional price. The E8 requires the HVSS Chassis unlock for 25 Fuel, and then each E8 also costs 7 more Fuel and 20 more MP compared to a regular Sherman 76(W). So in to...

I would like to add that the light vehicle prices become very difficult to justify for U.S. Armor doc after the "cheaper Shermans" CP ability is unlocked. Price of M4 Sherman: 350 MP and 30 Fuel Price of M15A1 Gun Halftrack: 375 MP and 30 Fuel (after tank depot upgraded production, becomes 345 MP an...

The Wehrmacht defensive doctrine's base defense MG42s (the ones that are on the top of the base buildings after the upgrade) appear to be bugged when shooting at infantry that are inside a halftrack or Kangaroo. The infantry inside the vehicle will die almost instantly; faster than they would die if...

The StuG IV late version has a remote-control MG42, which means that the gunner cannot be killed. The MG42 may be more inaccurate because of this though, but I have not seen the stats.

Can someone explain the difference between the regular Sherman M4A3 76mm and the M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman? After unlocking the "cheaper Shermans" upgrade in the commander points tree of armor doc, the difference in price between these two units is only 7 fuel and 20 manpower. What makes the Easy ...

I saw this and it appears to be legitimate. CoH2 is currently free on the Humble Bundle website. Below is a link. m As of me writing this post, it will only be free for another 42 hours, so share the link with all of your friends as soon as possible! Get them to download CoH2 while they can (if they...

I updated this to version 5.1.3.

Let me know if you see anything that needs to be changed or have suggestions.

In your opinion, is there ever any reason to produce the 76mm Shermans? Are the cheap Easy Eights with all of the sandbags and free veterancy still bad?

How much of the current British strategy and play style would change if they could build 6-pounder AT guns from the 2nd truck? The 6-pounder is almost the same as the American 57mm AT gun. Right now there's the difficult scenario for British in the phase between Boys and the 17 Pounder. Everyone els...

There are vanilla trainers that work for BK. The trainers that work in normal vanilla CoH will work in BK. I know this because I have a trainer. They only work in single player skirmsih offline mode. The one that I know works is the Mr Anti Fun trainer for the current game version. I'm not sure if t...

What is the health and damage of snipers? Do some snipers have more health than other snipers? Does the RAF sniper having 140 health mean he can survive a shot from a Wehrmacht sniper? Also, for those of you who know the statistics, is using the "rapid fire" ability actually worth it? Does...

I always liked that other mods implemented an 'armored infantry' squad that came in on a halftrack with a manned turret. Very historically accurate but it's a stretch to say how much more capable they could be compared to a normal rifle squad. Is this a suggestion of replacing the weak and flimsy &...

What do you think about the Ranger Infiltration Squad? It costs 400 manpower from the Ranger Truck, and one squad comes inside the truck when you call it in. They get 5 Thompsons and a bazooka by default, and are probably the most elite unit that Infantry Doc has. But the Ranger Infiltration Squad c...

Updated to version 4.9.7.

I will say here that Inf Doc was specifically nerfed in previous patches because people thought it was too good. Some of these nerfs were: - After mass production upgrade, the Rangers previously cost 270 MP. Now they are 315 MP - The option to upgrade the anti tank bazooka squad with a 3rd bazooka w...

Are you posting this because of the movie coming out later this year? There was a big thread about the movie "Fury" on the old forum when that film came out, because the "Fury" tank was like a US Armor doc Jumbo or Easy 8 with a tank commander. It was almost unstoppable and the t...

I agree, the PIAT is a really bad weapon. But it was also a really bad weapon in real life too, so you have to take that into account. In fact, the British replaced their PIATs with American bazookas after the war. It's also important to note that development of PIAT-style weapons ended after WW2, a...

Does anyone want to talk about how the AB hq can call in strafe runs with no cool down? This is one of those hidden abilities that is a little bit overpowered. Most people don't know about this, but the Airborne forward HQ has a cheap ability that calls in a bunch of planes that shoot and bomb ever...

What are your thoughts on the "MessUupGood" strategy of doubles? He always makes double bikes, double 37mm AT guns, double snipers, then sits on those after choosing Terror doctrine until he can make Stuka rocket halftracks and Panthers. It's a relatively decent strategy since he's good at...

This is a really good opportunity. Players from the community can interact with a mapper and let them know what they would like to see in map design. For example, do you like green, heavy cover everywhere? Do you like having the highest resource points in the middle? Do you like symmetry? What about...

Artillery is just easier to use. It's relatively common for maps to look like this at the start and end of a match: http://i.imgur.com/cVa8aOE.jpg That is from the end of a 4v4 on Operation Goodwood. http://i.imgur.com/sJ9BNLn.png http://i.imgur.com/AVYWHhm.png There is an argument that artillery is...
