Oh for sure the past two years has removed the BS from the game, it's also nerfed a lot in general also across the board.

It's not perfect it has its weaknesses but the game is certainly in a much better state. Let's hope they get chance to add some lethality in the right way in coming patches.

Funny how OP only mentions Allied units...

Old tiger ace was probably the most broken unit in CoH history.

The Tiger Ace is still broken. You still get punished for keeping the unit alive.

Oh come on OP, you can do better. Why ignore the most game breaking issues, from both sides, and just mention petty things.

Some old post with some additions.

-Precision strike
-IL2 skill plane
-Double T34-85
-Terminator HTD conscripts
-Partisans PPSH
-Stacking mark vehicle n stun button
-Sniper clowncar
-Tripwire on doors
-100% ram but T3476 doing 80dmg
-Soviet industry

-Old Elephant with spotting scope
-Joint Operations with pak43/LeFH been meta. Old Panther and PG spam.
-Strafe pin of doom and later Stuka skill plane.
-MG42 spam (with bulletins)
-LMG42+G43
-Osstruppen and Assault Grens first week of release. Think about having Shocktroops at T0 and covering their only weakness through Osstruppen spam to avoid clowncars. Only time Relic put a munition cost to a unit cause they didn't know how to nerf it in time.
-4 Months of TA
-Tellers 1 shotting Jacksons.
-March Pio spam, aka, Pios been stronger than conscripts.
-Grenadiers having passive suppression.

-When they both doubled the damage on Katyushas and PW.

-Doge car (special mention to clowncar sniper 2.0)
-Greyhound canister cheese
-P47 "spam"
-Defensive stance
-Rifle i win company

-Kubeljesus
-Triple schreck bulletin for spamming Volks and not getting owned by flamerclowncar.
-SwS swag HT (special mention to Semoisky bridge block strat)
-LeiG spam (with suppression)
-Fortification into KT meta (with MG34 been better than MG42). Basically, if allies didn't win by 20mins, you basically had a free win. It's not like 3v3+ had something like 90% W/R for Axis and +2v2 was EZ mode for Axis outside top50
-JT shooting through shotblockers
-Obers with armor and bonus on retreating units. When you managed to get them to vet 5 and they could passively sprint and suppress units.
-400dmg phase cloaking JPIV

-You read that i said EZ Axis when they released OKW. Let me introduce you to EZ Allies and UKF. Making a faction useless at 1v1 (till we overbuff some specific units) but completely broken and more obnoxious to deal with in teamgames.
-A single line will suffice. Comets. PIAT Attack ground spam. PARTY COVER! Doomsday Air Superiority. Simcity.

NOTABLE bug mention:
-Never forget #vetgate. Cause who cares about veterancy bonuses, so we break it even more when we try to fix it at first. It's not like we had a tournament or something.
-1 squad. +50 models of Rear Echelons.
-Superman bug aka Stacking bugs. Also Super Sherman. Or mega M42 AT gun, which would kill whatever, if it managed to pen.
-When destroying a medical crate, it would call artillery over that position.
-200 yards Vickers.

We have come a long way since release.

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.

Old CAS doctrine was cancer thinking back

4 minutes into the game fuel to muni button got pressed then the blob of 6-7 grenadiers all pulled MG42's out of their back pockets in unison.

like some sort of sick dance hall rendition

Tbh the game felt more balanced with vet gate... I think there's too much durability afforded with vet. Obviously vet gate was a problem but maybe vet as a whole is a smidgen too much...

LIEGFEST

CAS COMMANDER I loved that one where you were basicly playing against commander abilitys the entire game and couldnt do anything about it.

When okw could call sector arty in your base when it was more potent then and would destroy USFs entire base structures

When stuka nuclear bomb could be called in to your base
