So I was just thinking about how nice it would be if the reverse hotkey was actually built into the game more casually - like Left mouse is select, Right mouse is move, and middle mouse is reverse move (for vehicles). Middle mouse is used for camera panning, but I think reverse move would probably be more useful. Adding custom keybinds for that kind of thing might be good (can we do this already? I couldn't see anything in the menu last time I looked but i might be remembering it wrong).
The other thing would be making alerts more visible, as pointed out by this post:
https://www.coh2.org/topic/51897/minimalistic-ui/post/521468
What other nice to have changes do you think you'd like in this or future CoH games?

key rebinds are a big one, other than that some small changes to the UI. For instance i use tactical map a lot and it would be nice if unit cards didnt overlap so much, can be very difficult if you have two units next to each other and you want to one with the unit card at the back.
One more thing comes to mind, the ability to turn off unnecessary unit chatter, so i can have it boiled down to the most basic and short version of 'we are under attack' the unit has. No more 'ding ding' for instance.

I'd like to see better in-game comms, including the ability to chat with your teammates (and your opponents) while the game is loading. Being able to send messages to individual players, team, or all by typing @playername, @team, etc. would be nice.
I'd also like to see better stats and post-match info. Would be great to see something like an NBA shot chart or MLB spray chart overlayed on the map showing where kills happened. Kills/damage dealt should also go on the chart at the end. I'd also like the ability to track stats for individual squads rather than just by unit type.
It would also be cool if you could join matches in progress, particularly vs. AI. I think it needs to be easier to casually play with friends.
Key rebinds would be nice. As would the ability to minimize the in-match UI - it's a nice looking game and a shame that the UI takes up like a third of the screen. The ability to zoom out a bit more would also be nice.

You mean like, heatmaps? Weren't some heatmaps/data included in the replay files of vCoH? Is that still the case for CoH2? Heatmaps can be very helpful, so you can have extra polished high traffic areas on maps.

Hotkeys. 2016 and we still have to rely on third party programs.
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.
Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

this.
I remember begging for hotkeys on forums and to upslynx on steam chat back when the game was in closed alpha...
How hard is it to put re-bindable controls?

Heatmaps would be one way to do it, but initially I was thinking something more like this. Being able to hover over every point to get more info about that specific shot is pretty cool but perhaps not feasible or terribly useful in the CoH context.

- permaban fahu on every site related to coh2
GGSleeper
1. Relic bans, not me. 2. It stands in the rules: If you are banned more often, the duration increase and can lead in the end to permaban 3. The Case is bigger as you guys think. So pls step 1 step away pls. 4. I am not a player in the 4vs4 cup, because of RL work.

For the essence engine, it's actually somewhat of a pain.
For DoW2 they had to make a ghetto .ini file for it that overwrote the default keys.

Invissed a post for defamation of another member.
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.

Disabling the videos helps iirc. Kind of funny really.

Yeah i remember. Keydefault.lua and what not. Relic is lucky they make good games worthy of that hassle.
I just pity new players who aren't as inquisitive about finding these solutions.

Basically the video files playing at their fixed rate prevents the menu from going to higher framerates. When you take those files out it's unlocked and will match your monitor's refresh rate.

i could like fixed color for each player, instead of everyone sees its self as blue, so when i call out yellow do that, they know who i am talking about.

For self analysis what I'd really like is a chart that would log each player's cumulative resource income in real time.
Stuff like that would help you work out e.g. how much of a resource lead somebody got by holding certain points in a replay for a certain amount of time.
