Profile of Highfiveeeee

Many people (including me) did not finish the Soviet campaign.
I just think it's not pleasing, it's a bit dumb because you simply throw a horde of troops in German MG42s until you win. Yes I've seen the Russian CoH2 hate video and I think it's dumb as hell.
But somehow the campaign simply wasn't entertaining for me because I have played this whole "stomp the German" stuff in countless games before.

But what would be a real pleasure for me (and I guess for most of the other players interested in) is a German campaign.
I simply don't understand why Relic has never made a German campaign beneath the one for the PE which indeed was my favourite one in vCoH.

Are they afraid of legal consequences?
Why should they be? You don't have to put the swastikas everywhere or something like that.
They in fact could teach the players something about the history of Germany inside the Wehrmacht.

I imagine to follow a German Officer (or something similar) through the history of the war.
At first in '39/'40 they are all excited as they really were during that time when France was defeated within weeks and Germany freed itself from the shame of WW1 (This is just a prologue that can't be played hence the lack of a French army in the game).

Then the real campaign starts with Barbarossa. They could show the view of the soldiers that are really into fighting the Russians because of being blinded by German propaganda. But the first enthuisiasm slowly fades and first doubts come up. The officer sees executions of Soviet soldiers because of the Commissar Order and in fact has to shoot one on his own (Generation War anybody?).

Stalingrad would be the middle of the German campaign. There is ABSOLUTELY no better use for cold tech than to show the struggle of the German army in this time of the war.

Then the time of retreat has come. You can play the tank battle of Kursk and maybe some other last offensive actions of the German army.

The last part of the campaign could be the battle of the bulges in which the officer gets captured in the end and reflects everything he did in this cruel war.

Honestly, I'd buy that one even if it hadn't anything for multiplayer.
In addition it would be one of the first BIG games that dared to show the war from a German perspective.
This would extremely boost the player base.


What do you guys think?

this co0mmander has no late game and nothing except partisans. Still only guard motor

So? You won't see the lategame because of your MP bleed. You literally can't use MGs on Maps with many houses because you simply can't retreat. Same with mortars.
The enemy doesn't need an IS-2 to screw you. A fast T-70 you can't counter is also gg.

They decided that DeC was too much for them and hurled themselves off a bridge. Highfiveeeee is the only one left. Kappa

It all fits in my plan to take over this board

Thread is locked.

2 panzershrecks would cost 180 munitions fit okw, a faction that has (had?) already a munitions penalty. In fact 120 is cheap as hell. But I like to spend my mun for tellermines anyway.

A hold fire button would be nice, but I don't like the toggle idea. Especially because 10 seconds for changing a weapon is too long even in reality.

A priorise vehicles button (for the two shrecks only) would also be very helpful.

I'd like to see a 'thank you' mechanic which allows users to thank a post (like a Facebook like). Under the post there is a list that says 'the following 15 users thanked the author for this post'. It shouldn't push the thread or something like that, it's just to find quality posts easier.
