I think PE was given these easier ways to heal their soldiers because they don't have the "wounded collecting" feature so to compensate for no "free" squads, they got more ways to heal the living dudes. This was still not too good compensation back in time when 6 collected soldie...

Diablo wrote:Regarding that call-in Panther; is it supposed to be (what CoH calls) an Ace or just a vetted Panther G?

It has a bit better basic stats and comes with a tank commander (who provides further bonuses).

If you have a legal copy of CoH then you can just put the license number into the Steam and you will have the game available without any payment (you've paid for it already). At least I think that is how it works. Even if you don't plan to play over Steam, you can do it to see if your problem will s...

Addition of the upkeep should lead to more thinking about how many howitzers you deploy and where. It should prevent a mindless spam of howitzers across the map and thus covering every point of the map. Why do you need 5 howitzers on a medium size map? You can have them but then what you describe is...

Imo it would have been better to have it as P4 H -> Off-Map Call-in -> Panther -> Panther Ace Call-in. Original post: (It is quite possible that in the next update this will be restructured to "PIV H/J" (2CP) -> "Offmap combat group" (2CP) -> "Panther A/D2" (2CP) -> &q...

@Gurkenkilla: thanks for report, we'll look into it @mofeta: Yes, the StuPa will need some tuning on its own and also in its performance in combination with the doctrinal abilities. Several aspects of this unit kinda slipped through but we'll think of something to bring it to its place till the next...

@Volksgrenadiers: How is that different from the way the doctrine was before? The BK doctrine had Tigers and Panthers - both can be one-shot by Pershings and 17 pounders. In terms of statistics, when you have Tiger vs Pershing, the Pershing has better chance to win. Pershing has very good penetratio...

I remember few years ago as you said that " everyone talks about changes theoretically and gets tons of responses about theoretical issues - people talk like this for ages and nothing ever gets implemented because the debate is stuck on the theory talks. Instead it should be tried in the game t...

Concerns noted. Not all the buffs stack with each other and some units are (or should be) excluded from the the buff effects. It is possible that we missed some of the possible combinations which may turn out to be OP but that is what the feedback period is for. StuPa + possible buffs is one such ex...

The thing is that StuPa is available later - you can only build it from the heavy tank factory. To get it you also need 7CPs which means that the opponent will be able to field some counters already. Anyway, StuPa is meant to work as defense killer - a support in your unit composition not the main c...

Hello to all of you, reworks have been mentioned many times. There were two concepts to go with - either turn all doctrines "specilized" (strong in some situations but quite weak in different situations) or "wellrounded" (every doctrine has means to deal with all situations). In ...

Yes, but what Pblitz meant was that most people don't have this problem and only a few do. If there was a problem within the game files everyone would experience this. That suggests that the issue is coming from the side of the users that experience the problem. Since we don't have access to the PCs...

The number of engineers (either number of them in squad or several squads at once) does not affect the build speed of stuff - this has been the case for ever. I think it is beause it could lead to unwanted results. I think it is impossible to set some limit to how much can a structure construction b...

We haven't changed anything about the shotgun so it could hardly get worse with this update. Since nothing was changed, I am pretty sure that this thing has been in the mod for years and only now somebody noticed it.

So the answer: Because Panther G has better armor than Panther A and Panther G also comes with skirts pre-installed, while A needs to invest further 50 ammo for them. EDIT: Panther G has also better top MG - it can rotate in full 360°, the Panther A MG only coverssome area in the direction where the...

Correction:
There is a difference between "needs" (from game-play perspective) and "realistically should have".
- Yes, Panther G realistically had more armor.
- No, Panther G does not need more armor (from game-play point of view).

Hard to say. I would start with pure ammo upkeep and adjust from there. There are tons of ways to implement this and no way to tell which one would be the best one. E.g. the cost of barrages can be the same as now and the upkeep can be something relatively low (e.g. 5 ammo per minute) - this way you...

I am for the "only arty doctrines can use barrages on captured static howitzers". The thing is that static howitzers (and barrages from them) are an asset which is meant to be dontrine-specific but due to the capture system of the game, it possible to get this thing even as another doctrin...

Some of those will be changed/fixed but some (e.g the bunker descriptions) were not changed intentionally. Some of the concepts for doc rework have in them changes to bunkers so we did not change the bunker texts yet because it is possible it would be changed only to change it soon after again - the...

@Hawks: I remember you complaing that forum keeps debating in theory and nothing gets implemented because everyone keeps talking theoreticaly but there is no ingame experience to back up the theory. OK, now we offer ingame experience in betas before release and you denote it upfront based on your th...

There is a difference between "people can't test" and "people don't wanna test". People have the option to contribute to the development and to releasing a more stable live versions. If they don't want to, they don't need to but then they can't complain about buggy releases. Also...

We're looking into this. It is probably just some issue with the text file not getting overwritten or possibly the new version did not get uploaded. It will be fixed as soon as possible.

Hello! With a short delay (sorry about that) we officially announce the live release of 5.1.7 patch. Those of you who participated in beta already know what this new version brings but for those of you who have waited for the live version, here is the changelog: General: - Static Howitzers will no l...

However, judging their role is quite debate-able... I mean, yes! StormTroops are frontline infantry.. but only until the veterancy unlock, that's when they become infiltrative infantry units as well. And that's what you pay the Command Points for! They have better HP and so on, but they also cost m...

Lol, so you are basically saying "There are already tons of units able to kill a Stuart, it doesnt matter if we have one more which can do that." Not really, You use the "it makes light tanks useless" as an argument to remove or nerf or whatever the rifle and I'm telling you tha...
