I'm totally fine with Radio Silence removing minimap icons and forcing the opponent to adjust their play style for a while. Arguably there should have been a drawback or a requirement to it though, but I doubt we can add anything at this point. The main issue seems to be the frequency at which it can be used, i.e. duration or cost. Which can be adjusted. It currently is one of the core strengths of the commander however.

the rest of the commander is very useful. Its definitely not the core strength of the commander. The radio silence is just a very broken ''extra''.

How do you suggest adjusting playstyle for a while? Minimap or tac map is such a fundamental aspact of coh2(and as GIAA stated, from all rts games). I don't think there is a way to adjust that aspect of coh2 gameplay for a while, aka, there is no counterplay.

You cant imagine broken stuff like this in a real good rts balance wise like AOE2.

Absolutely this.

They should be moved back to T2.

ye agreed.

I think Radio Silence should definitely be looked at.

This ability is so frustrating to play against and destroys one of the most important aspects of coh2 game play: the mini-map.

Players rely heavily on the mini-map or tactical map. Radio silence is a real mindfucker in this.

I think the movement speed in combat is too much. Units shouldnt walk faster when they are in a fight.

I think units should be invisible on the mini-map UNTIL they get into a fight.

If this doesnt get changed, I woudl suggest at least give it a huge increase of muni and increase the cooldown. Its way too spammable. ALso, I think 1 minute is too long.

Stuff like this doesnt belong in coh2 and if you ask me, i wouldnt mind that it would get deleted from the game completely.

In my opinion ram ability needed to be nerfed. It was incredibly cheesy combined with airstrikes. there was no real counter play to that. Especially considered that a t34 only costs 90 fuel, which is too cheap imo. In lategame you can easily survive with double zis guns and a few t34. Which means you dont need much mapcontrol but still can have huge mappresence lategame.

I think double zis-guns will still be a 2-men army. They need to make them 4 men or remove the barrage ability or at least nerf it heavily (the nerf in the patch notes is not enough)

kv-1 should get a slight armour nerf.

In return Soviet early game is weak. I think one of the reasons is their Healing. It should be buffed. I feel like in the early game you cant get the map back because you lose so much time with healing. Especially vs flametruck from Ostheer they suffer becuase cons (or penals/ guards) take a lot of health damage and then spend a lot of time healing in base.

I also think cons perform slightly too bad in the early game. But buffing them could be dangerous, since they also have oorah, good sandbags, mollys, good vet 3 and atnades.

I find it really strange that Pgrens don't get a nerf besides grenade cooldown at vet 3. Everyone can see that they overperform. Their overpowered bundlenade (for only 35 lmao) combined with their dps will almost guaranteed wipe an allied squad. The allied player cant do anything to counter that. even fullhealth retreat squads get wiped if you can time the grenade a little bit.

definitely a too strong combination and should definitely be looked at.
