To solve a unit situational problem you don't need to look further than vanilla CoH.

You generally need more muscle behind your game to win with combined arms than with gimmickry. For newbs to snatch enough wins to stay around, I'd say roll the dice with a weighted company and hope it works out. Take me (who's more combarms oriented than most) as an opponent for example, if you're newer and going combined arms against my combined arms your chances are dismal. If you focus heavily in one area there's still hope. Anyways, this is more about what to expect. How to use that info is up to each and everyone.

Thats one of those nasty diseases you can grow here, people. It's called Wehrmacht Combined Arms syndrome, where you think having the superior weapons, and suppression resistant grens is making you good. Tongue

Things like puma phase through will be looked into when doctrines are implemented.

why?

Don't worry, unless we get someone proficient at modelling and especially clipping models it's not going to happen ^^.

Why, what's wrong with its hit box? I'm sure upping the received accuracy while moving will easily solve the problem.

the problem is, if im correct, is that on normal units misses can still hit, in the way they projectiles will not keep tracing the enemy behind corners. but they can still hit the enemy coz they are in their way.

the puma however is never in the way coz its hitbox is.. not there. so only REAL hits will hit him.

No, that would simply be an outright nerf to the unit.
Fixing the clipping model would be exactly that - a fix.

What's the clipping model, I've never come across that before? That's what I'm asking above.
Besides changing its received accuracy would pseudo fix the "phase through" problem, although received damage would also require a modifier if that becomes an issue.

Basically, you know what a hitbox is in FPS games?
That's what a clipping model is in CoH.

Most units clipping models and actual in-game models correspond - the puma's, most likely is somewhere around the wheels, or is only capable of clipping with bazooka shots.. It's complicated, really.

I fixed it without doing any modeling changes. Wink

Oh relax, RR will probably get decreased dmg to pumas when phase through fix goes in.

Skirted P4s are decent vs RRs.  Not to mention infantry.

I could deal with this. at least you can use them now in conjunction with an ATG to fight off triple pumas. even if the RRs just chip away at the health.

I cant remember how many times that scenario presented itself. ATG hits a puma, RRs go in for the kill, all 4 RRs phase, and the triple Pumas rape the ATG. Most annoying thing ever
