Faction comparison by Relic

I should also add that people are still very pissed off ( and rightfully so) when Relic Promised that there would be no gameplay elements tucked behind a paywall for multiplayer and low and behold at launch we had gameplay elements tucked behind paywalls and they never ever said "Look guys we're sorry, we got your hopes up."

Just make cache not benefice 100% to OKW faction. Sharing resources is part of teamplay, but should be much less rewarding for OKW.

Bad idea, because then you'll have some players hogging all the strategic points with their own caches, while other players are blowing up allied caches so they can make their own caches, and then that person gets butthurt and starts shelling his teammate's base.

For that to work you'd either need to make caches stackable on the same point, or make them buildable anywhere in the sector.

It's not impossible. Bazookas with an AT that has a wide arc and no need for sighting at vet 1 also with armor piercing goes a long way.

Then you are playing the wrong game. This is how it was in CoH 1 and people seemed to think it worked fine there, it is also what made it special.

Perhaps you are reading it wrong; to me it means that you have a window which you have to capitalize on in order to compensate for your weaker period. In CoH 1 it meant that Americans had to be agressive early and get enough of a VP lead to win the late game during which the Wehrmacht had their window. As the Wehrmacht you did the opposite; you hade to hamper, and not lose, the Americans enough in the early game so you could win in the late game.

It made for beautiful games in my honest opinion.

vCOH also didnt had so much RNG to it

Actually it had much more RNG as it wasn't applied universally against all infantry squads, but depended on squad and a faction.

last time i played vCOH AT guns and bazookas penetrated panthers,here panthers dont give a damm about bazookas and AT guns(american ones).

US AT guns could do nothing without AP rounds on.
Bazookas penned only rear armor in any reliable way.

You're confusing penetration with deflection damage.

I've played it long enough to realize that its recoiless rifles and not bazookas that are effective against anything above P4 and that vcoh AT gun is pretty much equal to coh2 USF AT gun, difference being vcoh one had deflection damage and long coh1 health bars allow you to notice deflection damage in a clear way.

Actually it is.
You'll have your AT inf and ATGs wiped effortlessly by axis infantry and armor will roll over you.

are you sure bazookas arent good against panthers in vCOH??i am pretty sure their deadly.

Ohreally? Well after that all those tanks and infantry will be devastated by my counterattack of even more ATgunz, zookinfantry and latecomer tanks. So I win still.

So now AT guns in combo with anti tank infantry don't kill tanks anymore.
