Building nerf.

Actually I think it's better- previously it would have been the guy in the window dying outright, then the next guy who took his place, so on and so forth.

Now it's spread out, so you can retreat and heal up for no cost. Rate of damage taken overall should be the same.

I disagree, houses are situational and knowing when to use them is important. They should not always be better than cover. In addition, they give you increased LOS and stop units from freezing. They also absorb artillery rounds for units behind them, and act as a sight block. They may not function now as free bunkers, but I like this.

I hate, absolutely hate, when two players are running for the same house, and pathing or a mere second is all that separates the win from the loss at the beginning of the game. It should always be deeper than this. Houses now do this better, by not guaranteeing a win.

Use them with AT squads to get good hits on tanks, or try them with mgs to cut off areas. One window is sufficient for these units.

i disagree. running for a house its an important factor in combats, so much as they become strongholds and get usualy bombarded in actual combat.

But now if both players feel the house is important it must truly be. Before you could send a stupidly weak unit in to halt all advance of approaching forces while they slowly dealt with it. Now you really have to decide what the advantage might be.

Also many times houses are in areas where green cover is not close by. If you are tactical in what unit you put inside you can maximize damage output while minimizing damage.

Don't forget all the LOS advantages you get in a house. I often pop in an out of them to get a good view of my enemy.

They are still part of the meta, but they are no longer bunkers. Since we can't simulate clearing houses, making them weaker is a better option.
