The Russians need a "hold ground" button so they don't move around in combat

I agree with the opinion that EF doesn't need this.

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

It would be nice if conscripts didn't run out of couver early game. Why are you against this?

I wouldn't mind fixing the conscript AI but having a general "hold ground" button isn't what CoH is about.

When you buy the game, one of things they say on the box is "Soldiers seek their own cover!" How about we keep it like that.

Unfortunately the conscript AI tries to take cover by enemy soldiers. It usually doesn't work too well for them.

After all this time I've sort of gotten used to microing the squads back into cover when they randomly charge but it's still annoying.

Your right, major Ivan Delinko should teach his constipts that the enemy isn't very good cover.

I think concripts should be armed with oddball weapons like shotguns and old fashioned flintlocks with the odd WW2 rifle for a few of em.
just for show.
