Ostheer bugs galore
« on: November 25, 2013, 10:22:44 PM »
The "Army Fortress" Commander Tree is just a complete mess.

1. Improved Fortifications:
"Famo can construct Panzernests plus Stormpioners, Lansers, and Panzerfuliers can construct Foxholes."

What is "Famo"?

2. Panzernest "Primary defensive structure. Can upgrade to aid station, repair station, or MG emplacement."

-Nope, it can't do any of this. Once you build it for 200 manpower and 25 gas, it does absolutely nothing.

3. Ambush Tactics


-The camouflage provided by this ability is very buggy. Units sometimes won't even fire when an enemy walks into their range (even while the hold fire ability is off).

The "Ambush" ability possessed by the Stug IIIs and the Panzer IVs etc is also extremely buggy. Replay attached. At 27:30 look at the Western most side of the battlefield. The Stug III goes into "ambush mode", cloaks, then as enemy units approach a few seconds later, uncloaks, then does nothing except get destroyed until I turn OFF ambush mode and force it to retreat.

At 31:30 a group of Lansers (Western part of the map) in automatic camoflauge mode (Ambush Tactics) does absolutely nothing while a nearby enemy squad attempts to take a point. They only fire when specifically ordered to. Continue to watch this area and you will see many more examples of this weird and buggy behavior.

4. Panzerfuliers

The description states that they get the "grenade shower" with the assault pool and "disposable anti-tank weapon" with the support pool. This is untrue, both abilities are available regardless of which pool is chosen.

I'm sure there are a lot more I forgot to mention but this should do for now.

You're quite a bug hunter. Its good to see that ppl takes time to report these bugs.

Actually its 300mp and 20 fuel if i'm not mistaken. Oh, what one earth is this, Hitler's bunker? It costs a lot for a static defence. But it's not useless, in case you didnt see it has an mg inside. And it will give a passive healing to infantry in its territory.

Tbh i searched like crazy the repair station myself because of  those lazy combat pioneers.


3. Ambush Tactics

No its not. It gives a passive buff accuracy when they fire first. If they don't fire give them the order or let them get closer and rape them with the Mkb.

The "Ambush" ability possessed by the Stug IIIs and the Panzer IVs etc is also extremely buggy. Replay attached. At 27:30 look at the Western most side of the battlefield. The Stug III goes into "ambush mode", cloaks, then as enemy units approach a few seconds later, uncloaks, then does nothing except get destroyed until I turn OFF ambush mode and force it to retreat.
The stug III doesn't have a turret, so it won't move when in camo mode. Be more carefull with that. And the P4 its just like an M18, no problem there.

At 31:30 a group of Lansers (Western part of the map) in automatic camoflauge mode (Ambush Tactics) does absolutely nothing while a nearby enemy squad attempts to take a point. They only fire when specifically ordered to. Continue to watch this area and you will see many more examples of this weird and buggy behavior.
Leaving your units to fight by their own without micro its not a good ideea anyway. Just wait in camo for him to decap that point and jump on him, he wont expect that. That's why its called "ambush tactics", ambush him.

4. Panzerfuliers

The description states that they get the "grenade shower" with the assault pool and "disposable anti-tank weapon" with the support pool. This is untrue, both abilities are available regardless of which pool is chosen.

These are probably leftovers from previous builds. Even in vCoh if you check the riflemen upgrades you will find out that by researching BARs. nades and sticky you will vet faster. Not the case anymore.
