This is my first post on these forums. I made an account because i am playing coh2 alot more now with these recent patches and it is alot more like vcoh. however, i am concerned about the balance issues as soviets and ost army have only recently started to get improved... also has relic said anything about future commanders or units for these two armies? just a concerned Vcoh vet who wants COH2 to be good...
i guess i should add that i played coh2 when it came out and gave up until it was patched more. i play mostly 4v4 as germans. i can see that its allot better now, but, i think the balance needs a bit more work.
Well it seems like relic is now trying to help balance by adding machanics that equalize thing better(making cover important) which helps since in the old way there wasn't really a way to use a lot of advantages units had since closing in was fairly easy. We are halfway though this process as last patch was for infantry and light vehicles and this next one will be for tanks. Before they didn't do much other then mess with simple stats to buff or nerf individual units.
As for future commanders, relic usually isn't in the business of announcing things more then a day before patches, but there was a leak months back of commanders that were being tested in the closed beta. Odds are we will see these released sometime before the expansion.
Edit: sorry I just realized you were talking about the new armies. Relic hasn't said much yet, other then the Americans will be a mobile and versitile army and ubercommand will have big late game tank call ins (Jagdtiger and King Tiger) and a unique way of securing territory.
