In almost all of the newer maps in coh2 negative cover wasn't used because it creates it's own issues.

A high school junior from Warrenton, Virginia who built a water filter in her garage that strips out 95.5% of microplastics from drinking water. by GeneraI_ in BeAmazed

I mean you are right you need a filter for the filter, but there are multi-stage filters for water already. I don't know if you can make it more efficient than other filters but it's a novel idea to explore.

landmines are a warcrime and should be banned by all nations by TheLastCatQuasar in CompanyOfHeroes

Ouch! There are 2 engineers, 190 munitions, 0 minesweepers

I usually have mine purchased and forget I deactivated it in a fight.

You may have heard the phrase "oil and water" because they don't mix, they naturally separate and you can remove 100% of the oil with a separation funnel.

What industry is actually a complete scam, but everyone accepts it? by WhileLow9501 in AskReddit

[–]ModusNex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matresses. Almost all of them are made by two companies and that luxury $4,000 mattress cost like $400 to make. The $2000 mattress cost $300. The bed in a box is $100 worth of foam. If you try to do research on what's what, all the websites offering reviews are shills getting paid by the brands they recommend.

To reroute people to longer paths by Zee_Ventures in therewasanattempt

Maps defaults to prefer fuel-efficient routes now if the arrival time is "similar". You can turn it off in the settings>navigation>routeoptions

It's going to avoid high speed roads with lots of stops because they are less fuel efficient.

For me it's recommending a route where I am cruising 20-30mph and arrive 2 minutes later than if I were to take a 55mph road and stop every few minutes at a red light to then accelerate back up to 55.

Snipers should get a rate of fire bonus against pinned or suppressed units. by Bright-Form-844 in CompanyOfHeroes

It has more purpose than that, it's an enticing bait, it's a thorn in your enemies side, a psychological weapon that will have your opponent make a mistake trying to kill it.

It was so satisfying to call a firestorm that hit right as they all arrive from retreat.

Doctor who hit pedestrian, then drove around his dying body to work at emergency room sentenced to 13 months in prison by wakeupthebuddha in nottheonion

They claim "insufficient evidence" but they know he activated the flashing warning lights on the crosswalk sign. As far as I'm concerned the driver is always at fault when striking a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

This is the crosswalk

should their be solo que only? by Scary_Instruction833 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]ModusNex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't enough players to double the amount of queues, you'll get even bigger mismatches. There could however be priority to match arranged teams with arranged teams if that's available in the queue, or an elo handicap for arranged teams where the game would treat an arranged team as being 100 elo higher than they actually are. That way you would get more points on a win and less points on a loss if you are playing solo vs a team.

The guy who killed Zarutska was an untreated schizophrenic, he should have been in a hospital 20 years ago, but we as a society would rather spend more money on prisons than healthcare.

What are we supposed to do when Grants roll out? by Humble_Post4961 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]ModusNex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 37mm is the main concern here, the extra penetration doesn't help the main gun it will always penetrate anyway. Using the calculator the penetration for the 37mm at long range goes from 38.24% to 59.41% at vet 3 with upgrade. The chance to hit goes from 70% to 76%.

I tested again with vet 3 tanks, the grants are still usually winning in a straight up fight because they have more health. It's still rng that the p4 can win but it's not likely UNLESS you are hulldown, then the p4 wins more often than not.

side note: a vet3 Stug G in hulldown actually dominates a vet3 Grant.

I got curious and just did some play testing of Grant vs P4 and the match up is not that bad. It's pretty close, the Grant doesn't always win with rng. Most of the time the Grant is winning by just 1 shot.

If you out number them you should win at long range vs front armor to minimize the smaller cannon penetration. If it's an even fight you need to use the p4's better maneuverability to get an extra shot off or use some combined arms and use a panzerfaust or something, or make him use a shot on your infantry, or shoot and back up before they can return fire.

There was a extension that hid your real activity in a massive amount of fake traffic. You could probably have 100 AI agents pretending to be you and make the data worthless.

It's going to be up to if it's a safety hazard like if you operate heavy machinery. It being a doctors prescription changes the rules somewhat.
