Profile of REforever

I don't really like the idea of letting anyone sign up. Alpha testing is important in that the players participating can influence the balance of the game; with this is mind, only top 100 players from 1v1 and 2v2 ranked should be allowed to enter. I definitely wouldn't have faith in the balance team if Relic accepted a rank 2000 Rus only player into the Alpha.

Fine. Which regiment(s)?

The Highland Light Infantry of Canada or The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada-either or is fine with me.

Oh God, please no! This is the mistake Relic made.

What mistake would you be referring to? SAS commandos in CoH1 were my second favourite unit in the game so I would like to see them return in CoH2.

Even allowing for the fact that game play must and will > authenticity, the SAS in NW Europe (1944/45) were generally units of 3 only on recon, or Maquis organisation. Do you envisage the SAS as the equivalent of Partisans? (In which case, their call-in should be limited)

Historical authenticity isn't really a problem at this point. You're worried about SAS commandos fighting in Europe in 1944? Wait till you play CoH2 and fight the Germans in Stalingrad as the US Army; you're going to be in for a shock.

You have a death wish for the these tank commanders? ( I don't think these tanks ever made it to NW Europe)

The OKW flaktrack the OKW uses was incredibly rare and only 1 was built and used; the Sturmtiger saw maybe a few engagements if that; the number of tanks built and how many times they've been used isn't used to determine if they're viable in-game as Relic has already shown. I want the Valentine tanks so it'll act as a support tank for infantry advances; it won't be able to beat medium and heavy tanks in a direct fight, but it can used as a solid anti-infantry support platform which would fit the British Army for CoH2; leave the heavy tank destroyer equipment to the Archer tanks, Fireflies, 17 pounders and etc.

The voice acting was good, agreed

Indeed, it was why I mainly played the British faction in CoH1; the voice acting was extremely fun to listen to.

Depends on the theatre of war - but honestly,in the current set-up (Russia/France/Belgium), this would weaken game immersion, not strengthen it, bcs such infantry did not exist in RL.

If the game were set in N Africa/Crete/Italy - that is another matter, granted

Relic has already shown that historical authenticity has been thrown out the window for the most part. Are you really telling me that having Australian and New Zealand infantry fighting in mainland Europe is somehow crossing a line, but having US Army troops pushing back the Germans in Stalingrad isn't? Having Commonwealth troops fight on mainland Europe wouldn't break immersion for me, but obviously it would be a problem for you, and I don't think I can convince you otherwise.

I've been playing Wehrmacht a lot more since OKW isn't viable anymore, and in my opinion, CAS is completely balanced. I'm able to hold off the hordes of Rus and American infantry since I can equip all of my grenadiers with LMG's fairly quickly, all the while supporting my infantry with desperately needed anti infantry strafes and anti-tank strafes. The weakness of this doctrine stems from the fact that you have no heavy tank, so there's no possible way of holding out for a Tiger, which is undoubtedly the best tank available to the Wehrmacht.

CAS is also needed to counter B4's, and other static artillery; without CAS, B4's and etc would have free reign over the battlefield.

GG Germans, the British Army is making a grande return and it will be glorious. Good work Relic, i'm looking forward to playing the British Army 24/7.

Conscripts are absolutely fine as they are. I've lost countless engagements with Obersoldatens and Volks because of Conscripts and their extreme versatility and good damage. Whenever a Rus player does a heavy Conscript build, I get worried because Conscripts are that good.
