Could CoH 2 do with a cleanup patch?

One thing that has been greatly overlooked is tooltip accuracy. Besides obvious typos, there are many commanders, intel bulletins, unit descriptions, upgrades, abilities etc. that are wrong, at times being even empty!

It would be easy to identify them, make a list and fix them. I would gladly contribute.

As they are right now, they make the game look very unpolished, while at the same time making it hard to new players to get started.

Go through the changelog, assess the changes, toss out what you don't need any more? Standardise stats where you can, remove exceptions to the rules you don't need.

If this is something the Balance Team is willing to consider, I'm happy to do the work to produce a spreadsheet from the changelog that breaks down changes by unit.

To save your power, i am preparing the sheet with text issues. We can cooperate. My goal right now is:
- Mark all issues, where several things using the same text strings
- Mark all issues, where absolutely no text and no NoKey error
- Mark all issues, where NoKey exists in default locfile

I can give you access and you will add section with typos, outdated information and etc. I didn't do it by myself, because already maintaining fixed localization in russian, so i don't want to do the same job twice in english.

I think it absolutely could use one. One dedicated to QOL across the board, one dedicated to bugfixes, one for rebalancing skill plane abilities, etc.

Not sure what can be removed but anything that makes the game more polished (UI, tooltips, etc) is always appreciated.

Standardisation unfortunately is a way of balance, so unless you mention what you have in mind, it's difficult to asses.

And maybe it can do with some bal team members who are semi competent with QUALITY CONTROL.

I'd like to also see a fixup for singleplayer. Alot of features that were removed or tweaked for multiplayer have really borked the singleplayer campaign. Most of the formations, squad-ai, weapon balancing and even some abilities are either broken or missing entirely.

CoH 2 has a big changelog.

It's had seven years of patches with a focus on immediate solutions: an exception to the rules here, a contexual buff there. Each individual patch seems fine, but the game is starting to feel the strain of seven years of band-aids layered on top of each other.

Could it do with a cleanup patch? Go through the changelog, assess the changes, toss out what you don't need any more? Standardise stats where you can, remove exceptions to the rules you don't need.
