Capture Points

It think it has more implications for map design than anything. The 'cap zone' mechanic really eliminates much of the reason territory points exist in the first place. In vCoH infantry had to actively 'use' the point to capture it. It was a physical object with which entities interacted, which necessitated the visualization.

But that's not how CoH2 works. If territory points completely disappeared and were invisible, and caches could be freely built (only inside cap zone, limit one per) and you'd have a result that is more in line with how CoH2 works.

It would be cool to see the return of actively capturing the territory point object. It should infer the similar penalties to building or repairing, while perhaps speed up the capture rate, or even override enemy units stalling capture.

It'd open up a whole new and dynamic world of gameplay AND map design.

But that said, I'd rather see more diversity in territory points. I miss real cutoff/strategy points and variable resources.

Voted no - fix the important stuff first, this would have too many implications/iterations to test. In the mean time, don't click move/reverse on the other side of the flag poles. Position your tanks with escape/attack routes adjacent the poles.

the wehr sniper is already using the proper portrait when camoed
there is no more important stuff than that, so now we can move on to cosmetics and EoL stuff like changing game mechanics and balance

I would love the idea. The "pro" mod (from Cruzz?) already implemented this and it improved the vehicle pathing by far! The poles and stuff are still there, tanks can just drive through.

Infantry of course, cannot.

its pretty obvious to see tho that when you cant tell the difference between 2 weeks and 4 months some problems would likely come up when trying to pull a balance patch together
