I am not an uber player in the top 100. I am an AVERAGE player, who loves the game, and has put many hours into it. After all the hours I have played, I would say that indirect fire is the problem with the game, for usf and okw.

As an okw player, I am in the top 1,000. Any other faction, I am in the 2-3,000 range. It is very frustrating as a USF or OKW player to have no indirect fire. Often times you will feel as if you are struggling (esp usf), and a flak base is set up, or other insta-supress (mg, flak emplacements, etc), and it's game over. As usf in mid-tier play, you often have to choose between lieutenant or capt... and if you choose capt for aa then you are later screwed for removing any emplacements in buildings, etc.

If you could get a mortar, or any other indirect fire, it would give you a good hard counter. There are no hard counters for usf or okw in these situation unless you want to commit serious resources. Again, there may be counters if you are a mirco god, but for mid level play, it is very difficult. Allowing OKW a good indirect fire and nerfing some of their other units would solve this problem. Giving usf a low level indirect fire would help them as well.

I'd love it to be replaced with an off-map rocket artillery ability. There aren't any in CoH2, sadly. It'd fit the commander nicely.

That would work. Or they could just make it actually effective.

Like it used to be, only you can't attack a base. It was kind of a unique thing and I like that it rewarded you if you kept los.

I've used this ability before, and it did indeed seem extremely underwhelming. Tested it out a few times against the AI and made certain I kept los with blobbed infantry when using it for the entire duration. Regularly only got 5-6 kills. That's the max effectiveness of it.

Not sure if that's a bug or intended, but if it is intended, it's a waste.

Let's all try to put our balance issues aside for a moment and appreciate the beauty of coh2. Obviously, we love this game or we wouldn't be here, and with the new beta coming up and Relic's big plans, there is hope for this game.

As a community, we really need to attract new players. I've uploaded a vid that shows just how beautiful the game can be, and who knows, it might peak a few people's interest into buying the game.

So, let's just take a moment. Thanks for the game, Relic! Despite all the hate on these forums, you truly created a fun and pretty game.

This is amazing. Thanks!

I would buy it, but does anyone know if this is compatible with steam? I have coh2 and the USF forces. Just looking for okw now. If I download it from here, is it steam compatible?
