It would be lovely if FHQ could just be removed from the game. So much map control is granted by any sort of forward retreat point, and it promotes bunkering/bunker busting gameplay, instead of maneuvering and outplaying your opponent for map control.

or just give all factions FRP?

I kind of like this idea, but the Halftracks seem an overnerf. Yet you still have entire armies retreating to a forward point on the map and returning in the blink of an eye whilst Soviets need a doctrine for this and Ostheer have literally no option here.

Are we talking FHQs or FRPs? They're very different things...

FRPs are pretty annoying for how they aren't available to all factions.

Teams should be able to designate each other's HQs are retreat points.

FHQs are a different thing, and aren't well implemented in CoH2 IMO. They worked well for CoH1, but they functioned very differently.

FHQs were just ambient buildings you spent manpower on to 'capture'. You could then produce any unit you'd build tech buildings for from it. Opponents could decap the FHQ as long as it wasn't garrisoned. The FHQs gave no aura bonuses.

Yeah CoH1 did so many things better...

FHQ should have never been added into the game. makes players blob brainless. and give little to nothing breathing room for ost and soviet players to breath after defending.

well at least ost has reinforcement bunkers and med bunkers but at the end of the day what does soviets have lol ?

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.

I think I can't agree more with all you guys. Not FHQs, but FRPs are the real problem.

And yeh half tracks would be too over-nerfed
