Simple Staghound question
« on: August 06, 2011, 07:23:32 AM »
May I ask why the staghound car is missing its sandbag upgrade and phosporous rounds :o?

When the Ostheer come out the only matches you will see online will be Soviet/Soviet vs Ostheer/Ostheer.

The stag is 2 separate units in CoH. There is the stag used by the Brits and RMC that is healthier and has an MG upgrade and there is the T17 used by the US that has sandbags at vet 1 and the phosphorous ability.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

May i ask what purpose the sandbags serve (including those on the Sherman with secondary gunner, etc.)?

They were used as a second armour... It's like your tank is standing behind a sandbag wall. AP rounds had to penetrate the sandbags first and then the armour.

I was talking about in game terms, not real life. ::)

It's just a visual change on the Sherman. On the Stag, it just shows that the vet 1 health bonus is in effect.
