Hi,

Have you observed some specific conditions that create this bug? "It sometimes happens that..." does not give us much to track the source of the problem :/

Re: M15A1 cone of fire

Nonetheless, now I think the cone of fire for the M15A1 was recently modified.. apparently! However, the in-game cone of fire indicators seem to have been not updated to match the new actual cone of fire of the vehicle. No, it hasn't been changed at least for as long as I am dev. Same for the fire-...

Re: "Vehicle Button" ability rework

perhaps it should require at least two brens. hmmm....maybe, but given the fact that this sort of change would be nerf to the ability, postponing it by 2xBren upgrade requirement might be too much of nerf. Can we expect a topic about the hit and run tactics on M10 anytime soon? Where you devs make ...

Re: "Vehicle Button" ability rework

Wolf said that at some point in the past BK changed the target's speed reduction - in vCoH it used to be like 90% and BK changed it to 70% or so. But I think the rest is from vCoH.

Oh and I just noticed an error in my previous post, it does not reduce vision by 90% but 99% :D

Here's the thing: The way that "Button down" works is they spam bullets at parts like the mirrors that allow people inside the tank to see out (they are made from glas and there are protective shutters to prevent them from getting damaged, but if you close those you can't see out anymore)...

Re: "Vehicle Button" ability rework

in my humble opinion, I would rather completely removing the ability, then giving the "sniper shot" ability of rifle section squads the possibility to snipe tank gunners, or maybe disable them! Perhaps regular snipers could also have such an ability as well, but maybe against vehicles too...

Re: Wehrmacht Halftrack 36pak

PaK40 is more valuable because: PaK40 can one-shot medium tanks (even more so from camo) while 57mm cannot do so even from camo. If you camo it somewhere and let it shoot, the chances are that you will penetrate any medium tank, very likely destroy it or cause crit on it and then you can (relatively...

Re: Wehrmacht Halftrack 36pak

You did not understand the whole point. T48 has better basic range because it has crappy gun. Give it standard range and the most of the time the situation will be: 1) T48 fires a shot, misses 2) enemy fires at T48; T48 dead or 1) T48 fires a shot, hits, target remains fully moveable and alive with ...

Rifles at close and midle ranges easily kill any infantry, this mean, you can't rush them, even with MP-44, two mp 44 ...

Re: [5.1.3] 5 Pershings + 1 SP in a 1v1 against Tiger tanks, Stug 4's, and Panzer 4's + ranger and stormtroopers battle

Let's immagine you don't play against Armor doctrine (because 90mm guns counter your strongest tanks easily) or RE (because you don't have strong arty to kill emplacements; that still leaves 4 doctrines you can quite well face on your own). You have the strongest WM infantry (Storms) and very strong...

Jeez, dude...it is called "counter doctrine". Strongest tanks of BK doctrine are Tigers and Panthers....now a question: which US gun is the best at killing exeactly these two tanks? Hmmm....let me think...maybe the 90mm cannon? And in how many US doctrines is this gun? A single one. If Arm...

Re: Sturmtiger

To be fair, the ST actually has some positives compared to former V1 - V1 strike cost 200 ammo (ST shot is 150), and V1 had longer cooldown than the shot on ST. However I still think the negatives outweight the positives and so the original point still stands - ST is nerf for Terror doctrine compare...

- Originally ST was reward unit for stupid V1. We set the damage the same way as V1 because otherwise nobody would ever use ST reward - V1 was possible to use anywhere without the need to move any "launch platform" into range, so it was faster and easier to use. If ST was weaker (in damage...

Re: RA "sector smoke" ability & unlock

I like Toni's points 2) and 3). Kwok's idea is not bad either.

Which one would you preffer? It could be even some combination - e.g. with the unlock static howitzers get smoke barrage ability + player will get off-map smoke barrage option too.
