Panzerwerfers that came from T3 and could fire a salvo every 47 sec at VET 3 (with 12 rockets)

COH 2 Beta flamers that had no cooldown and fired full auto, making combat engineers beat Panzergrenadiers in a 1vs1 (Basically flames killed all infantry, but Relic quickly nerfed them)

When Panther outclassed the Tiger and there was no reason to build it, same thing with IS-2 costing 300 fuel and losing to a stug in a 1vs1, resulting everyone going with Conscripts and SU-85´s


Original IL-2 Strafe that only attacked the targeted spot that you called it in, basically making it only good vs buildings or immobile enemies... (all hell broke lose when Relic made it target enemies on its own, like the Stuka Strafing run, that was META back then)

OLD HUD and Inspire ability on Soviet infantry VET 1 that made them fight harder with fewer men (considered OP back then, and removed for a reason) http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/541830884804726452/DE465E3F4EC579054D57A0D8A1843FB01A6541F5/


Victory points that ticked down rapidly, ending the game in 10 minutes (thank god that Relic slowed the VP tick time down)


Original "Blitzkrieg" & the "Overdrive" ability of Soviet scoutcars/halftracks that gave them super sonic speed

When COH 2 had lovely Blizzards

When Units had low Pop cap and you could have huge armies, and spam as many tanks as you want

When T34/76 did 80dmg per hit and was only useful for ramming (Original counter for Tiger ACE)

When HelpingHans got VonIvan banned by Relic (Caused a real shitstorm in the community, and the downfall of COH EXPERTS)

The Original automatch window, only the radar has stayed the same all these years http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/541830884848475481/015885EE3ABE35E7F3B45FE0A16CA073AB77882C/



When we got Ladders and we could see our stats!

Original observer replay system made by Janne252, so live games could be watched



When Rapid conscription gave you Penal Battalions and original Ostruppen were too good (Back then you could only get Ostruppen from Relief infantry ability)

The launch MG42 being an absolute beast.

Faceplates that got added flair/stars with level up.

The Ju-87 inf strafe that both pinned and murdered inf - in the commander with the opel blitz truck that helped teammates.

OKW scavenge artillery one shot US base.

when 1v1 was fun

and...

old Obersoldaten.

OKW scavenge artillery one shot US base.

USF mechanized artillery one shot OKW truck

Who could ever forget having your men retreat thru deep snow to only freeze to death before making it back to your base!

When Pripyat was in automatch...

You could stack Mark vehicle buffs.

Overbuffed Katyusha/Werfer.

Fortifications was meta.

0CP Dhska was "Op"

HMG42...

The fast m20, airborne, 10 minute Sherman meta!

OPKW with free LMGs and shriek blobs!


When the ambulance didn't AOE heal, and since it didn't set up,a mis click could result in you sending your ambulance straight into combat.

When bar and zook were two separate upgrades.

When m10 had 400 hp and was considered trash

When Stuart had perma stun

When rifle company flamers exploded randomly and couldn't be bought again

When E8 and t3485 didn't need tech
....when USF wasn't op

When soviets snipers have sprint and can be loaded into clowcars

When M36 had stacking HVAP rounds which could one shot armor and vehicle crews could be used to give all vehicles vet 3.

When OKW mg did damage , when 222 countered t70 , when meta was mechanized call ins vs guards motor call ins.

When Partisnas were trash , when PTRS was OpieOP

When skillplanes rule the field.

When SCAS was meta

When ostheer was uplayable agains USA (oh wait it even now)

When soviets snipers have sprint and can be loaded into clowcars

That made me quit the game XD I hate snipers, I hated soviet snipers for having 2 men and I hated them even more for having sprint (Sniper version of blitz)

Remember when penal battallions burst into flames upon death?

Remember the patch when conscripts briefly outperformed Grenadiers and the forums filled up with Axis fanboy whine and the very next week, conscripts were nerfed back to their inferior state.

I remember that lol moment.
