Guys after a long time playing EF v 1.4, i have noticed a common bug that happen every match include vs bots or vs players is when the Stuh-42 bombard the Sovite's infantries something magically happen and protect those infantries from the barrage they dont die or lose health although the shell is on top of their head, and more furious they are conscripts ??? . When i turn to the original Coh, every thing act smoothly. Is there any cure for this one ? Sorry i can't take a screenshot because it happen too fast.

Could you provide a replay of this issue?
I think you would have better posted this into the bugs and tech support section.

You'll have to save another replay then. We can't really base errors off of no evidence but I can look into it after my flight.

I think this can stay here until we deem that it indeed does happen. I've never heard of something like this happen before. Do you remember if the said StuH-42 had any type of veterancy and if the conscripts had any type of veterancy?

Indeed. If it's a common bug like you say, there's always an opportunity to save the replay.

This can sometimes happen to KV-2s but I've yet to see it on the StuH42. There should be no difference between EF and vCoH StuHs.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I don't think this is a bug. I've noticed this with the StuH in the unmodded game as well. The KV-2 does it too.

It's simply a matter of miss %, despite the placement of the shot being where it should be. It's more of a visual... misplacement issue, than a gameplay issue.

This is common, like Dot.Shadow said. Sometimes CoH just does it.

I have to agreed. The Stug42 seems to have no effect against infantry ;o
I seen it shoot straight in the middle of a rifleman bloob and maybe .. 2 guys died? XD

My English is kind of useless. But that because Iam swedish Wooohoooj! ;3

It's done that ever since it was turned into an arty tank, if i recall. I'm not sure whether it classifies as a 'bug' or not, but i think it needs fixing anyway. :P

Guys for KV-2 and StuH use attack ground instead of relying on their auto aim.  Most of the time if you attack ground on a blob of infantry it will do more damage and kills than if you let it shoot by itself.

Sometimes, the Stuh-42's accuracy is too high that it kills the only inf that being targeted ;D, sometimes they shoot in the middle of inf squad but no one died. But I think it's not a real problem because the Stuh-42 always has a chance to shoot again ;D.

How often does a normal arty shell land in the middle of a squad, and not kill anyone? I really think it needs more tuning....
