What really grinds your gears in CoH2?

I've got some more:

Seeing my teammate starting with a completely offmeta approach eg. start soviets and upgrade Molotov or start USF and spam REs.

When I lose my whole army because the T command did not register.

When I press tab and t on a battlegroup and send the wrong unit to camp.

When I lose against idiotic tactics like blobbing and emplacement spamming (you can still lose to trivial tactics no matter how good you are).

That axis factions seem to attract such larp fanatics.

Luckily we don't have any here on coh2.org

It's weird how in in thousands of hours played I've seen a handful of people with names such as 'Patton, Churchill' etc. Yet most team game seems to have someone with an iteration of 'SS_Wiking_6gorillion, DesertF0x, Fuhrer'.

Most of the time it's utterly harmless. But the cringe is still there, it never truly goes away

Then tell us how you are going to attract to the game and monetize FTP RTS? The FTP model is not suitable for the strategy. The FTP model implies that for the donation you accelerate your progress. What is the progress in RTS with the base? You can count anything, but the FTP model may not attract to the game, but destroy the mechanics and gameplay. After all, all this must be reworked for the sake of monetization.

CoH 2 literally already had the trappings of a successful Free-To-Play model. Literally just the exact same except you allow players to spend money for Supply or buy commanders/skins directly. And then balance the game so that it's not Pay-To-Win (i.e. you can still win with default units). Add lootcrates with rare skins, add skins for the camo on your units, knife skins. It's too easy.

It's a tall order for sure, though.

EDIT: Actually you DON'T allow players to buy commanders and skins directly. Make it so that if you buy 5 dollars worth of supply, you can buy X amount of commanders but *just* a little bit lacking to buy another. That's another dirty secret of free to play models.

My stationary tanks automatically chasing down enemies on their own when I don't tell them to, if an enemy unit enters its LoS and then runs away. I *hate* that, and really demonstrates the need for a hold position function.

you intend to retreat a low health squad. right in the moment when you click on squad, that model you're clicking dies so you only click on the ground, however you already pressed the retreat key, resulting in the selected full health squad retreating and the low health squad dieing in the process
