Tried add people to my friends list but there seems to be no button for this.
Any ideas?

You can either read the whole thread, or you can type /addfriend XXX in chat ;)

Thankyou.

Pictures from a earlyer match, Hardest victory ive ever had. Thought the battle would never end.

Gawd, I didn't remember how much this game sucked balls. :doh:

Really? I for one think it's pretty fun!:yep:

The things can't hit anything. :nope:

Hm, yeah, that can be annoying at times, but I usually have problems with AT guns and the sort. Infantry and MGs usually hits their marks. Not to talk about snipers!

Just lost an Jagdpanther last night when duking it out with a 57mm AT gun from a distance I could've thrown rocks at them. The bloody thing either missed all the time or hit the armor plate.

It seems they've changed the infantry suppression too from the stock COH, it used to be more like in Close Combat where the troops hit the ground if they come under focused fire, now I got one enemy guy standing 5 meters away while my full squad keeps firing at him for the 10 seconds it takes them to hit him. :O:

Sounds very strange, quite the contrary in my games!:hmmm: I for one can bring down masses of infantry with a well placed MG42 in mere seconds. First they get suppressed really quick and then pinned.

BTW, I don't think : O should look like :O: :nope: :haha:

OOOOAAAHHH yes, That would have to be one of my biggest complants. along with how my Tiger has to hit a sherman at close range 2 to 3 times to kill it.

And how that same Tiger takes damage getting hit on the front armour by said Sherman. :-?

Or how AT gun can take multiple shots from heavy tanks to it's frontal plate without effect.

Or how long range smallarms fire can take care of an armored car.

Or how 88 can't hit absolutely nothing, like say, infantry squad standing 15 meters away... still.

Or.. *snip*

Am I the only still playing this?

Had a blast yesterday. Played US on Red Ball Express, with two UK players, and against three Panzer Elite (AI).

Played as armor company. I was on the northern flank. Had a real blast fighting an opponent playing with the Tank Hunter tactic. Managed to work out a very good mix of units consisting of two snipers (one KIA, didn't replace him), two squads of riflemen, one armored car, one halftrack (to quickly retrain troops), one group of engineers, and ofcourse a mixture of tanks. The real powerhorse of my group was ofcourse my Pershing. In true AI PE fashion, the enemy spawned Hetzer tanks, which can be tricky to take out from the front, but I managed, and after some advancing in both directions (not retreating mind you!) the enemy was utterly crushed.

Very good game, I wish I took some pictures...I noticed something rather odd when watching a replay of a match when I played as PE. During the replay my Jagdpanther was destroyed...which certainly didn't happen during the game, I know I'd never let that happen (and I know I'd notice it!) What the heck? :hmmm:
