rusain troops now retreat?
« on: May 25, 2010, 09:36:31 PM »
i was playing a game as the Germans and all the Russians just started to retreat.

so one- can the Russians retreat now or is this a glitch

two- if its not a glitch then i think you should have it go back to ware they could not. 

three if you decide not to change it then make it so they don't retreat at the first sign of trouble. an mg shoots at them for two seconds they retreat, a tank fires a round into a large group of them they all retreat, a mortar round lands near them and they all retreat its ridicules

The Soviet AI can retreat as a side-effect to allowing the Wehrmacht Forced Retreat abilities to work against the Soviets faction.

EF 1.20 will include retreat for human Soviet players.

Balance changes will obvious be applied to counter the increased survivability.

I am so glad you are adding the retreat feature,I know you will have rebalance untis when you make this modification in 1.20, but it will be worth it. Retreat is just way to intregal part of COH, and when every other faction can do it to save their units from a dumb attack decision, the soviets need it badly too. 

One other suggestion, since we cant recrew paks, would adding the cloak feature be worthwhile, my biggest problem is that the infantry see the pak way before it ever gets a shot off, sometimes even when I keep it behind the lines. the cloak would allow at least one shot,becasue infantry always rush it.
