It was relatively easy to flank and kill those 120s (or at least force to retreat), all they were good at is random squad wipes. Not even close to isgs/pack howitzers; which are only portion of current game problems.

the title is kind of an overstatement.

Na-a, thats why I wrote

Now you can say some of those things was there forever, but even if they were before, they never were so prevalent and never stacked together.

While you absolutely right with all of the stuff, it was mostly late game problems. To use kats and isus players had to play game to survive till late. But currently playing game ends once very first isg reaches medHQ. Thats precisely reason i created this topic in gameplay section, despite fact all problems listed balance based.

And amount of other BS stuff makes problem with isgs/pack howitzers significantly worse.

Is there even gameplay remain for team games?

Infantry and support weapons play, aggressive play in general is killed by isgs/pack howies. Those stupid things suppress/squad wipe with perfect accuracy half way across map. Attacking is impossible in case of OKW thanks to flakHQ, which also impossible to kill with AT guns thanks to ability of isgs to kill those guns in 2 shots.

Harassment is killed by op lol squad wipe mines (yeah, shocking truth, sometimes sweepers needed in main army) and by quad and centaur, later followed by croc and kv8, which wipe squads on retreat like no tomorrow.

Speaking of those stupidly over buffed flame tanks, once enemy got them, axis infantry and support weapons cease to exist. It impossible to keep them alive against those beasts.

Any variations in commander choices is killed by op stuff and urgent need to counter it. I can list all viable and situationally viable commanders for each faction, but you all know which one commander use ami and which one commander use soviets to win serious games. OKW have literally one(!!!) viable build in even games.

So what remain of CoH gameplay? Every game is campfest, because it impossible to do any damage to isgs/pack howies, until map is very big like Vaux. Attacking and harassing is too risky, better to play greedy and just camp one side of the map and turtle from there while dumping all spare mp into caches and indirect fire, which requires so much skill to use. Then all comes down to gathering overwhelming tank force combined of churchills, kv8s, croc, e8s, is2 backed by tds for allies and surviving until elefant/jagdtiger arrival for axis.

So. Much. Fun.

Now you can say some of those things was there forever, but even if they were before, they never were so prevalent and never stacked together.

Relic, pls, do something about it. Game in disastrous state. Its not even a game anymore. Its a campfest and artyparty and same boring stuff every time again without exceptions.

Relic balance doctrine.

Thing is you would never get this kind of ideal lineup against competent opponents.
