That's weird, you should check the steam support forums or the Company of Heroes forums to see if there's a solution. Maybe try a reinstall?

This happened to me once before. While annoying, the reinstall definitely works.

It's a shame that PE players are going to be forced to play Scorched just for Sector Artillery since nuStrafe now makes having more than three Panzer Grenadier squads loving pointless.

No, you've already killed the sniper because you made a funkwagon because it got buffed in the patch.

The new Strafe is good against groups of 1-3 squads, but generally won't wipe any of them out. Once you have four squads in the Strafe Area, it turns into Super Strafe and will easily wipe out zealed Grens at full health. I did some testing and four is definitely the magic number of squads you don't want to have in an area against an Airborne player. Once you have that many squads in the Strafe Area, there's a very good chance you'll lose one squad outright and take massive casualties in the others.

Unfortunately you still have to kill him once you detect him.

If you have two squads in a halftrack and a sniper shoots the guys in the halftrack, it will kill one guy from each squad. I don't think it's a 100% chance, but it's one of the reasons you should only use the Infantry Halftrack for transporting guys through safe sectors and then getting the gently caress out as soon as possible.

Or, better yet, don't build Infantry Halftracks.



VVVVV Panzer Grenadiers in an Infantry Halftrack also take damage from flamethrowers as if they were in green cover. Meanwhile, Tommies in Bren Carriers/Kangaroos are impervious to both snipers and flamethrowers.

My favourite thing is how you can kill 2 dudes with a single sniper shot out of a Infantry Halftrack yet Roos are impervious to snipers.

Two kills per shot has happened every time I have used snipers vs. full infantry halftracks.

Halftracks aren't bad, they're just situational.

Munitions halftracks are also situational. They're both bad units.

You should never build an Infantry Halftrack for reinforcement or firepower. The only good reason to make Infantry Halftracks is to ferry PzGrens into battle. If you need firepower, save the fuel for an AC or get a Mortar Halftrack. If you need reinforcement, make a Forward HQ that will also function as a healing station.

This happens to my nebelwerfers all the time. It owns because they can run like goddamn olympians to the front line, fire the volley and then run back to base.

Nebelwerfers are technically vehicles for movement purposes, that's why they move faster on roads and it can vary incrementally. It's weird because infantry only have three speed: slow, regular, and fast.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I will have to watch for it, I coulda swore its a bug becuase my nebels run around like they're Fired Up sometimes. One time a guy snuck his rifles around and ambushed my nebels but I just laughed as they hauled rear end and got away.

Yeah they move hilariously fast on roads. If you played CoHO there was an item that made them even faster.

Stuarts too good. Mortar Pit build time cut by 33%. Motorcycles no longer gain any bonuses from veterancy. Kangaroo is basically as good as before when you consider the huge nerf to PaKs. M8 was overnerfed. Armored Car veterancy made even better than before. G43 Volley Fire only slows for 5 seconds now, making it nearly impossible to kill US Snipers that are competently micromanaged. Oh, and the new M18 might be overpowered. I haven't used it yet so I can't say for sure.

A lot of these changes are fine for 1v1 but make no loving sense for team games. Which is not surprising considering that the balance team is apparently comprised of people who play nothing but Wehr Blitz / US Airborne 1v1. The biggest problem I have with this patch is that it randomly fucks up things that don't need to be hosed with, simply because someone at Relic decided that it would be too simple to just nerf Kangaroos and call it a day.

That replay reminded me to download the replay analyzer so I could read the team chat of the other team. It was boring but the last game I played a guy was crying up a storm.

Also those Hetzers made a mess of a bunch of riflemen.

I just went to the CoHO forums hoping for a laugh but this is really the only thing I could find:

CoHO Guy posted:

"It all began with the doctor saying, "Congratulations, it's a COHO!"...

... and life was good for the young COHO then...

... Then it all changed when his Uncle Thuq started playing the market with little COHO's college fund. He could have been a brilliant doctor, lawyer, or even president, had they not lost all their life's savings, retirement, and the college fund in the crash of 010 that hit him so hard it snuffed the very life out of the little fella...

... and so we remember him today the way he was in his joyous years, when he freely romped and played with his beloved step brothers, Coh, Cohopfro, and Cohtovo, and poked fun at his his many funny cousins in the Dow and Dowtoo families...

... He was a spry lad, with a gleam and a sparkle in his eye. Not all liked him though. Some say he had champagne tastes on a beer budget. Some say he spent too much time looking solely for rewards from others. Some even wanted him examined, saying he was 'unbalanced'.

But to those of us who knew him well, he was a friend, a buddy we enjoyed kicking it around with, a pal who would come out and play with you whenever you called.

And who knows, there just might be some truth in reincarnation in this life. Heck, they say his distant cousin Shogunwan came back as a reincarnation named Shoguntoo, so anything can happen.

So, let us celebrate little COHO for what was good about him and keep our fingers crossed that maybe, just maybe, some of that great little spirit he had might come back to us in another form, soon.

And then, maybe we'll see ya again lil buddy."
