one time, the US officer one shot a wehr officer; until the wehr officer's offmap raped my US officer. It was real close!

Also, one time, this guy ran a full health gred squad into my officer (who was in yellow cover + rank 2 + triage) and I raped the LMG gred squad. It was a lawl moment.

Also, one time this guy rushed a vet 3 panzer gred assault squad into my officer and I poped inspired assault (while in green cover) and raped the vet 3 squad (mind you I was also vet 3).

Another time, my officer was taking a piss by this tree, and 2 volks with mp40's ran at me, and I tried to get my fly up in time, but...it got snagged...I still won though!

Actually, because the officers pistol is so awesome, we are implementing these changes:
KCH now are a 'Luger Squad' armed only with pistols.
A new addition for Scorched Earth, the 'Pistol Whip barrage' where every man on the field throws their pistols at a certain area with mass explosions (cos, we all know they must be CHRAGED with awesome explosiveyness).

Cant wait!

Where DO you come up with these ideas moddy? :p

I'd say the way people use these officer guys ingame prove the gripe of this thread. People are consciously moving them into positions to fire against squads in a much more offensive way than people are say, using british officers. It certainly does not feel very coh-like to see a "hero" unit headshot weakened or healthy regular soldiers with a goddamn pistol.

Auras, supervision and officer abilities (prop war, artillery and heroic charge)are "correct" in the COH world - other than the enigmatic bugged british captain (a vcoh bug where he becomes immortal) the officers and aura units were kept out of harms way and not used as damage-dealers themself.

Heroic officers gibbing squads with tiny peashooters from long range cause they are the rambo captain or der fuhrer officer - this something EIRR really wants to implement or make its own? It sounds more like a aspect of Warcraft than of COH.

If I was taking a design decision on this as the EIRR dev team, I would probably try to avoid 2 pop officers which already provide great bonuses and offmaps when kept alive  from becoming small James Bond's on the battlefield. Tone down their damage, allow them some deadliness at short range but please remove their ability to support the fight at medium to long range. Also look at their critical table, they are not snipers.

To say it in a understandable, short and primitive manner: A officer managing to fight himself out of a wounded squad charging him at close range without their own short range weaponry - cool, heroic. Officers gibbing snipers and shooting down full health pioneers or mp44 officers charging at guns is just plain gay.

My 5€.

Then give his Luger Thompson Stats.

Beretta 93R anyone?

Give them the Luger_wehrmacht_officer, that's not used by any unit. That one fires 5 shots a second .

that was a pretty stupid link....dont waste yoru time guys.

[LuAn]

Only if you cant figure out the pointe behind this 

[Draken]

Seriously I dont understand that whining.

Mostly you see him in blob of other infantry, and there must be something to blame so you are blaming officer. You can still supress infantry blob supported by officer, or stop it with tank. You rather want to see offmap in place of officer which will be another "UP" ability (hi salan :p). He is fine you still need micro to don't loose him, he dies very fast to focus fire, just deal with it, all allied players notice the new pe units 50mm ht, but officer is fricking t2 doctrine unlock for infantry with 1 avability.

[LuAn]

Well its not always with the blob, alot of people have witnessed the officer soloing alot of enemies, so hes not just a scapegoat, but his offensive power actually is as powerfull as people describe him. (e.g. to me he finished off 2 PG Men in green cover within 5 seconds due to his massive headshot crits)
And i think the survailability of the officer isnt really a issue, but his insane uber-luger is.

Offtopic:Its kinda hard to imagine PE without the 50mm anymore, especially at the times of lots and lots of vehicles, I know vanilla PE is supposed to use ATHT and Marder in combination, but the ATHT cant cover the marder as effectivly as the 50mm.

"hey, it's a T2 with 1 availability, so it's OK that he's OP!"

[CafeMilani]

if he stays like hes now, he needs a price increase.

120 or more muni.

i mean he kills shit without getting in danger (charging) at longrange.
or make the terror officer cheaper

....


Wut.

[CafeMilani]

did they change that?
i mena i didnt play for a week now and (allied) OPed shit never gets fixed in 1 week.

so does it still easily get 20+ kills by oneshotting grens at long range?
if not it should definately cost 120+ muni

[LuAn]

"hey, it's a T2 with 1 availability, so it's OK that he's OP!"

That argument is already oldschool with the new system incomming
