Same here, I don't know why but the soviets just feel like the peoples faction. I your face aggression and a strong emphasis on combined arms

I commend ciez on taking the controversial side of relic. Although it felt as though he is a little too cozy with the devs to objectively be taken seriously. I have to admit seeing relic go down the same terrible path again really sucks. Movable hq and alternate retreat mechanics completely broke coh1 and trying to ram a bad concept down our throats for a second time is just insane. It's like the same incompetent asshole that made the Brits some how made the dev team again?....

Alternate retreat is a nice option to have but it breaks the game. The scale of the maps are just too small for it to work. Vehicles that crush cover at the start of the match also break map balance and design. Cover is too important at the early game to have it taken away so easily. Tier zero infantry also broke the game just like the Brits, pe and soviets did too. P2w commanders had taken away much of relics credibility too.


I think wfa has broken the game and now it is a shit show just like when the Brits and pe came into vcoh. Relic could have made 4 factions with the same core teching designs and then used commanders to deviate tactical options. With out a stable core design you cannot grow the game in a healthy way. It is a mess and they sold out to the call duty attention span demographic. Short reinforce points means people with short attention spans will enjoy the game more. However it was not like the original reinforce time were that long in the first place there was no need to shorten them.

Relic did not listen to anybody. The shit design concept they refuse to throw away from OF is proof. The crap concept was the brainchild of somebody they cannot get rid of from the company. Most like somebody higher up who is protecting his job by trying to make it seem as though the idea works when it does not. Not a good sign of things too come.

Movable hq's was and is a terrible concept for the coh world. Think about all the effort and time that is put into map design and balance. Every object, every fence and every peice of crushable cover is pointless when you can just take your truck and crush it all early game. It is just a terrible concept. There was a huge backlash from the community over this horse tripe and then relic tries to stuff it down our throat again. Why is relic obsessed with this terrible concept? Just when you thought the idiot who made The Brits was fired from coh1 here he shows up again.

I really hate being negative about a game I love but it just pisses me off when valuable resources could be directed at improving a solid concept instead of this garbage again. This one terrible concept has done more damage to the coh community than any other feature. P2w commanders is bad, but mark my words you will see a huge decline soon. It just destroys what coh is about.

Well is it that complex? Is the best way to produce a feeling of soviet mp superiority with 6 man squads? Or would more abundant 3 man squads better portray this? Obviously 3 man squads would lose to a 4 man squad but it you could concentrate two 3 man squads against a 4 man squad they would win.

Obviously the goal would be to make the ost players feel as though they were facing soviet hordes. Of course small squads also has an issue of map control. Smaller and more numerous squads can cap more territory quickly.

Wow lots of discussions going on in here! I just wanted to make a note that the goal of he thread is the authentic feeling of immersion between the two factions via re design. I just put the squad size question to get the thread going. Let's forget which side has 6 man or 4 man squads. Let's discuss the core idea of giving squads 6 models or 4 models either side.

6 models pros:

1. Good for picking up empty static weapons. Leaves you with 3 man squad to use tactically with re crewed weapon.
2. Higher odds of retreating 3 man crew alive to reinforce.

6 model cons:

1. Finding adequate cover
2. Easier to hit with mortor and aoe weapons.

There are many more pros and cons and I will let you guys hammer them out if you like. Remember it's not a balance question it's more of a should a standard squad size have more models?

Also if you had a choice what would you rather prefer? A 6 man squad or two 3 man squads? For example would one six man squad with abilities and cool downs be better than two 3 man squads with abilities and cool downs ect.
