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...

yes they are heavy. but they come as early as axis mediums. that's what i meant. This was a problem before, because the Jumbo 76 usually came at the same time as Panzer IVs, and the Jumbo 76 wins those battles. But the devs tried to change this by swapping the Jumbo's position in the Armor Unlock t...

US Airborne Engineers still cost 320 manpower, which is quite expensive considering that their abilities.

Good discovery. This should be changed. For those that may not have watched the entire video: The 75mm PaK 40 emplacement easily penetrates all US tanks at max range. The mobile 88mm PaK 43 struggled to penetrate heavy US tanks at max range. These are historically incorrect and should occur the othe...

Wermacht - defense I have too many open secrets here that I revealed through the forum not in explicit topics. may become irrelevant soon though... Def doc is getting a nerf for the abuses that not many people do. First personal tip: this is not an arty based doctrine. Are you referencing the medic...

Both units are really good, but the M15A1 costs more and is much harder to use. However, I would say that the M15 is just better (if you can micro-manage it properly). The M15 kills light vehicles really easily, and is still really good vs infantry. The M16 struggles to kill vehicles fast enough, fo...

When I am playing as Axis and get AT guns or tanks, I always never even consider the option of buying those special AP rounds. For example, the PaK 40 can buy "Wolfram Core" shells for an extra 75 munition, and then activate it for 25 munition I think that only lasts 10 seconds. That's a l...

Back when I used to play 2v2s with Jhah, we would never go double British for this reason. The mortar halftrack is a great counter to the early game British, and it's much easier to coordinate with an American teammate to try and destroy it rather than take it on as the British. The tools available ...

While we're here on this discussion, I want to ask if the 90mm gun is supposed to be better or worse than the 17 pounder. Because it seems that the 17 pounder is much cheaper but is a lot better at destroying axis tanks. This is just a comparison I want to make because the M36 and M36B1 are almost p...

@Warhawks, can you clarify the stat differences between the two versions of the Jackson? Both of them are named the Jackson and both of them are also called the Slugger. Apparently, in the war, most Americans just called it a "TD" for "Tank Destroyer" and didn't have a nickname f...

One way to get rid of booby traps on resource points is to use high-health units to capture them, like officers, snipers, or scouts. If you retreat fast enough, since it is only 1 guy, he can usually escape without damage, and if he does take damage, he has a lot of health and can survive. Another o...

Great commentary

What about the order of unlocking things in the command tree? Do you guys think that fire grenades are extremely important and should be one of the first things unlocked? I know that at vet 2, the 101st can throw their flame grenades just as far as the axis can throw their stick grenades (which is p...

I still cannot figure out how to play the airborne doctrine properly. Some people say that it is really good, and others say that it is the worst doc in the game. From what I can tell, success with airborne is dependent on getting veteran 101st and 82nd squads. The problem is that I can never seem t...
