I have some feedback in regards to you said in this post:

1. Honestly, when it comes down to it, the P-47 call-in is really not that overpowered. For its resource-heavy price (currently at 240 munitions) it is on par with its Oberkommando West equivalent (Luftwaffe Ground Forces). Think about it like this: it is usually pretty evident by this time in the game that the person(s) you're playing against is using Airborne Company, and that means you should be ready to maneuver your vehicles in a fashion that would cause the call-in to be null and voided. It only has a certain radius, and knowing that, if you consistently move your armor to different locations (yes, this requires a decent amount of micro, but what doesn't in COH2?), also these planes are INCREDIBLY susceptible to AA fire (I've seen them get knocked right out of the sky before they even fired a single rocket, before). In contrast, Luftwaffe Ground Forces for the OKW is ten more munitions, has a decent impact duration, AND drops a squad of Fallschirmjägers onto the point. We can argue the usefulness of both commanders, but any experienced player would agree that both perks are completely amazing given the situation.

2. Again, I really cannot agree with you; fragmentation bombs for the Wehrmacht are absolutely amazing, provided it is utilized in the proper situation. I've wiped a whole blob of 6+ squads of US Forces infantry, just with the fragmentation bomb. Also, it obliterates light armor, gives decent damage to medium, and shocks the crew of heavy armor (those few seconds of inactivity can make a HUGE difference).

3. In terms of the Soviet IL-2 Sturmovik strafing run and the Close Air Support Doctrine, again, they are ALL fantastic and game-changing, provided you can strategically call them in at the right time. There's a reason why Relic balances these things constantly. Perhaps, yes, the P-47 could use a little work, but I'm sure if it is that big of an issue, it'll get modified and improved soon enough. Also, there are other call-ins such as the IL-2 Bombing Run (12 CP), that are far more "all-purpose" (in lack of a better term), against various enemy units, then the P-47.

Please let me know what you think!

Now they also mention the problems with the US late game in the changelog, but what did they actually do besides making some heavy tanks unusable? (the wrong way to go about it imo)

I guess they leave some of the important stuff for "long term", but does that mean later in this beta or in later patches? Tbh I was expecting larger changes for the late game this time around...
