I participated in some of the vCoH community patch attempts back in the day.
Yes, some interesting things came out of it, but in the end we're still dependent on Relic implementing the changes which isn't all that different from what we have now.
What we'd need is a way to get mods in the automatch pool so Relic's lethargic patching process is completely bypassed.
You dont HAVE to do mods. pushing small patches Im sure isn't that costly Weekly patches may be possible if they are small enough and have happened before.
Regardless the a patches would be pushed faster, more accurately, and with better changes that dont seal club units out of existence. OFC large changes such as community skins and maps but those are different.
