Thay was, but it was not many there, so its not reason to add them in tier imo.

There also were only about 10 sturmtigers that ever thought in battle.

As discussed in several topics it seems that the idea of a British faction in CoH2 is favoured by many players.
I thought about it and these are my first suggestions:

Make a new expansion with the following content:

The Battle for Afrika

New factions:

Allies: British Forces
Axis: Deutsches Afrikakorps

Include a single player campaign that contains the following:

The fight for Africa as seen by

BOTH(!!)

factions.
At the beginning start with the Afrikakorps advancing more and more.
Always play 1 or 2 missions from the one side and then switch to the other side.
After the Afrikakorps won the first missions play a mission where you have to defeat the German advance to a certain position. Then after 5-6 missions the tides turn and the Germans are more and more in defense.
The campaign ends with the Afrikakorps leaving the continent.

But only with the fact that there is a

PLAYABLE CAMPAIGN AS GERMANS

the players will go crazy.
Relic, why don't you understand this?
Sure heroising the Germans in a WWII game is always some kind of a risky thing but at least most Germans even see Rommel as a hero until today because he represented the true soldier without war crimes and so one. The fight between Montgommery and Rommel was game of cat and mouse.

GERMAN AFRIKAKORPS

The Afrikakorps could contain a hq of tents that can be moved around just like the Afrikakorps did while advancing in Afrika at first. It is not as defensive as other HQs but can act as a forward point. It can be very strong but is very risky on the other hand. It still has to be connected to the starting sector to get any ressources (to show the German problem of the supplies while fighting the British).
In addition the Base can be upgraded with MGs for an amount of fuel just like CoHs defensive doctrine.



T0: Pioneers, Kettenkrad, Opel Blitz
T1: Grenadier, Scout (Weak in Battle but huge line of sight and can cloak in cover), MG34, Mortar
T2: Pak 40, SdKfz 231 (A bit like the Puma/Scout Car in CoH1), Fallschirmjäger
T3: Panzer III, Stug IV, Nebelwerfer
T4: StuH42, Tiger I, Goliath Mine

BRITISH FORCES

The British would get a standard HQ (why always make something complicated)?
They can move up in tiers like the Ostheer but they can switch their 'status' to defensive and 'offensive'.
While on offensive they can call in other units and build other things by their pioneers. In addition their damage is a bit stronger while fighting on ENEMY territory. Same thing on defensive but they have stronger DEFENSIVE stats in OWN territories while that's the case.
Switching between defensive and offensive states takes some time (about 60 - 120 seconds) and costs a bit of ressources so you have to make decisions.




T0: Pioneers
T1: Jeep, Tommies, Lieutenant (Grants some offensive stats while in OFFENSIVE mode)
T2: Bren Carrier (A bit better than the one from CoH1), PaK, Sniper (Better than Ostheer one but A SINGLE MAN!), Captain (Same as Lieutenant but Defensive)
T3: Valentine, Crusader Mk I, Wolverine, [Pioneers can built 6 Punder AT Guns]
T4: Churchill, Sherman Firefly

About the British units:

Red = Units that can only be built while in offensive mode.
Blue = Units that can only be built while in defensive mode.

So what do you think?
Feel free to comment and discuss!

Yes to no fuel or yes to a good idea? Which is it?

THIS!!!

This poll is confusing as fuck. I think 95% voted with the same thing in mind.

We have made hundreds of recommendations.

Fix useless Commanders?------>Ignored by relic.
Fix useless Units in the game and make them usefull?------>ignored by relic.
Fix boring tank call-in meta spam?------>ignored by relic.
Fix the terrible faction designs------->ignored by relic.
Fix blobbing and spamming?------>ignored by relic.
Fix low non doctrinal unit variety?----->ignored by relic.
Fix Balance?------>ignored by relic.

But WOW now relic gives us decals..........
Next Balance patch is delayed for at least 6 months because relic has wasted all of there ressources to create These decals and Skins........

Even sadder is the fact that many of these problems were solved or at least worked on pretty good by Cruzz' Kappatch I and II. But did they even look at it? Probably not.

Personally i think bulletins don't do a whole heck of a lot

Most of them don't.
But what I LOVE about them are their descriptions which are mostly unique in every bulletin and very, VERY interesting. Read them, it's worth it!
