Re: Weapon choices for PE AG

Sorry not understanding, if you don’t want the lmg then don’t upgrade it? you don’t need to upgrade the lmg to upgrade any other weapons. Yes - and no. If you do not take the LMG42, then you can indeed take three upgrades of Gr43 and/or MP44. However, you cannot have *all three upgrades* being Gr43...

Re: Weapon choices for PE AG

the lmg42 is very important for the heavy panzergrenadiers. In general yes, but in any use case when you're moving most of the time, because it's never safe to stop, it's dead weight; you almost never get to fire it. i think they should lose the g43 upgrade. because g43 is available for the normal ...

Weapon choices for PE AG

I play PE pretty much, tank-hunter. I have an infantry group and a tank destroyer group (and the healing reinforcement half-track, doing a Rimmer and hiding behind the scanner table in the back of Starbug). With the infantry, currently they can be given a single LMG42 and if they take this, then any...

AI is much better at offence than defence

Afternoon The AI is okay at offence. It will build up a strong force and then strike. In that sense, offence is pretty easy to design, as a programmer - you don't have to find a way to think very much about what the other side is doing. You basically only need to think about the path you'll take, to...

New CoH patch? or BKM?

I just went to run BKM and Steam patched what looked like COH.

I've Googled, but no info on BKM or COH patches.

Anyone?

Odd behaviour from armour against overlapping enemy armour.

I had two PV/70. Side by side. Sherman runs up, goes behind them, *right* behind them - their shapes are overlapping - parks. Starts to roll the turret around. The TDs then decide the highest priority target is a HMG bunker on the edge of vision, and ignore the Sherman. W. T. F.? I had a 75 nearby s...

Skepticism

I am becoming skeptical, about some of the vehicle kills I see occurring. I've just had one such experience. It's a long, thin map. I'm PE. I have the following group - three AG squads, three IV/70, one amubulance half-track. I've attacked, and I'm in the top right corner - right behind an enemy, Am...

Re: Bren Carrier Wasp basically immune to MG42 fire

You mean shooting at it with AP rounds on MG42s? No - normal fire. Good call though, I completely forgot about AP rounds (I've never used them in fact!) Without the AP rounds the MG42 can't kill the bren carrier. I may be utterly wrong, but that seems amiss to me. I've seen Bren Carriers. I've seen...

Bren Carrier Wasp basically immune to MG42 fire

Is this expected?

I thought they'd pretty much go down like a jeep, maybe a but tough but not much more.

I've got one here ATM with a 42 firing at the front and it looks like it's just bouncing off.

I don't know if the normal Bren carriers are as tough as well - anyone?

COH/BKM under WINE

Just an FYI for people looking for answers.

With WINE before 4.0, the DX11 library must be disabled for COH/BKM to run (run "winecfg", then "libraries" tab at the top).

With WINE 4.0 (just out), this is no longer necessary.

Mortar rounds tracking targets?

Mmm. You know how an AT round once fired tracked the target? I'm pretty sure I just had that with a mortar round, and is really not what you expect from something which takes an appreciable time in the air. I had two PE AG squads out, together. One was capping a point, the other was on guard. An Ame...

Hej. It is just me, or... PE AG. Two squads. Both zero experience. HMG fire at long range, they pin, I move them out of firing range. There is a parachute squad nearby, the two-man squads, and a bit later a squad of grease gun inf turns up. There's occasional incoming "mortar-like" fire - ...

75mm AT icon/build problem on 2nd PE SE building

I had a game as PE SE. My options let me build 75mm AT. The building which makes them initially shows the wrong icon - a vehicle. There's no mouse-over for it. Once you upgrade the building, the icon changes to the 75mm icon. During the game, after some time, the icon changed back to the vehicle. I ...

Ahh.

Thanks, kwok.

So no indirect fire, unless you use the special ability.

I'll experiment with it a bit now.

Wehr 75mm field arty

This little field arty unit - does it, like a mortar, fire by itself?

Or does it only fire when you use a barrage?

I think I've seen it fire by itself, but I'm not certain.
