There is a marked difference between rank shaming and telling someone off because they have never played the faction they are talking about.

Am I high ranked with every faction? Fuck no. But I have at least played every faction.

Thank you for bolding that part, so we humble creatures may understand your complex argument.

Maybe drChengele has analyzed tons and tons of pro replays, and is now as enlightened as you when it comes to balance discussions?

Oh and can you please show us an example of "intelligent Schwerer placement pro play" that is not done the same way by ~90% of decent OkW players who play the given map? Most people should be capable of understanding that "placing it in the open" might not be such a good idea.

I think the whole concept is really cheesy, and while it may fulfill a role for OKW, it would be really cool if there would be some less static and 'map-locking' options for OKW then this boring truck, which is always a reminder of CoH- Brits to me.

The old 88 was much more interesting and fun (not connected to how it would fit into CoH2 OKW, just saying that concept-wise it was much more interesting and should be in CoH2).

I totally agree OP! Many of the most interesting automatch maps in the history of CoH have always been community-created maps.

In the current automatch map pool, a good number of maps are just unbalanced and annoying; Ettelbruck, Stalingrad, Hurtgen Forest, etc. I doubt that well-made community maps would deliver any worse experiences that those maps.

Please Relic add some community maps to the rotation and remove some of the maps that nobody really wants to play in PvP automatch (or increase vetos).

I have the same problems. When checking for fixes, I found lots of threads on different forums on this topic, so apparently a good number of CoH2 players are having problems with this.

I tried all the well-known fixes, like MSI Afterburner, Replays off, etc. Nothing helped. I can also say that a new graphics card (MSI 970 GTX) didn't change anything.

My theory is that freezes/lags are connected to two issues. The first one is Relics' reconnection- mechanism, explained in the following quote from Cynthia (taken from this thread):

"The devs told me that what you're seeing is due to the fact that they added reconnects to the battle server. So if for some reason you got disconnected, you are no longer kicked from the game, but get re-connected automatically. That’s why your game will freeze and speed up to catch-up with everyone else. Previously in these cases, you would have simply been disconnected from the game but now can continue playing."

This is what happens when you get the "Connection Lost" and "Reconnction" notices.

The second issue is poor game optimization. This guide shows, that CPU and RAM requirements for CoH2 are really high, it recommends an I7 processor and at least 8GB RAM.

Quote: "RAM requirements tended to go up every time I loaded a new map. This points heavily to memory leaks. Restarting the game regularly would help minimise your RAM usage."

When watching CoH2 Twitch streams, I found that most streamers with really high end CPUs and RAM seem to have only minor freezes, which would support that.

Note: Some people also seem to be able to fix the issues by changing their sound quality settings.

Would be really cool if they could release a performance patch that would actually cause some improvement on this annoying stuff. It really takes all the fun out of the game.

For me too ^^ I might have to rewatch it because it is awsome

Agreed, thanks Bloodnok for bringing back the childhood memories of that show!

Where that new avatar come from?

His new avatar is sergeant Schulz from the show Hogan's Heroes, if I'm not mistaken.
It's about a resistance group of POWs in a prisoners camp, it was really awesome and quite funny too.
