Blobbing

The only blobs that are semi issues are early blobs vs USF and mid game blobs vs OKW. At all other stages and all other armies blob counters are readily available-use them.

Blobs are dumb and I have seen plenty of good players counter them. As Katitof noted, use your counters. US infantry blobs are fun to wreck with Stukas and Rakatenwerfers.

MGs...

but yeah blobs are a problem in this game because its way to effective... the received accuracy modifiers in cover should be higher to support using cover instead of blobbing.

Take schreks away from volks implement the 4 man tank buster squad and give volks an AI upgrade if they revert them to how they were before or they will just be vet 5 AI monsters when okw has non-doct ai squads already, give USF a tier zero .50 cal and replace .50 cal that was under lieut with a mortar.

As stated above, 3 units of the same type or more should received accuracy modifiers against them. But only if they been together for 5 seconds or more. A symbol should appear over the affected infantry.

Interesting suggestion about cover, but I am not sure it would make the game more fun (its not about making blobing totally unviable - its sort of tactics or a palystyle however u look at it, but about reducting its appeal for OKW/USF factions by offering more ways to approach matches and make it less common, esp USF vs OKW). Making cover extremely effective might turn this game into cover race - who gets to cover first in early game could have enormous advantage which could ruin gameplay on some maps. And off topic, COH series is possibly THE LEAST BLOBBY RTS I HAVE EVER PLAYED. Just look at starcraft 2 terran biobblobs, protoss blobs etc.
