Small incremental changes are just as good as big sweeping ones as long as you keep a focused goal in mind, if you don't then you can stray and end up all over the place since in single big patches it's easier to have a central objective.

I mean Relic is done developing for the game anyway so It's not surprising they would move to the "patch when ever we have something that could be called a patch" model.

Katyusha firing a bit faster (I mean thats what it's shtick was IRL) and Callopie not being a literal tank durability wise would be nice. Especially since going deep with a light vehicle is effective against every rocket artillery piece except the Callopie which is silly.

Without getting into all the KIDS THESE DAYS talk I keep seeing in this thread generally the biggest issue CoH2 has had balance wise is that Relic tends to apply very lazy fixes. Here are a couple of examples

-Giving OKW and USF the stuff they needed to not be gimmick factions by just making people buy new commanders. Essentially a "you must pay this much in order to be competitive" which is stupid in a game that already has enough expansions, factions, and DLC already.

-The new OKW Commanders features have been in the game since a year ago. Not joking the abilities they use have all been around (except for the flame Hetzer) have existed in the files for ages meaning Relic couldn't even be bothered to implement the Commanders when everything they used already existed and/or come up with something new.

-The new USF Commanders are just objectively better in every way considering the power of the Callopie and the versatility gained through elite infantry.

-Brits took forever to get "fixed" (as in ironing out all the insane bugs like guns have no scatter, bombing runs that do more damage than 750+ munition artillery strikes, grenades with massive AoE's, and so on and so forth because Relic just copied older scrapped abilities and or just didn't do their homework while coding).

-Wehr still being the most well designed and rounded out faction (with Soviets a close second) because they get all the tools you need to succeed without relying on DLC bullshit and not relying on gimmicky stuff.

In closing the thing were people refuse to look at themselves for whats wrong and blame others has indeed been a thing since the dawn of time. I used to do it, and it's generally the hall mark of a bad player. But the fact that stupid or lazy people exist isn't an excuse for some of the actions Relic has taken with this game. I do like they have tried to reduce the amount of gimmicks by a lot but they are clearly done developing CoH2 and I hope they take the lessons learned when developing DoW3.

It takes 600+ munitions for every other faction accomplish what Air Superiority does. The Brits shouldn't be some magical exception were they get the best of everything for twice as cheap. Also nice troll thread OP.

I'm a bit lazy to put screenshots, but almost since WFA launch, the OKW IR HT will keep some infantry units "marked" on the tactical map out of it's range.

This has to do with the fact it's a weapon. I think you used to be able to recreate this by damaging a unit while the search light has it under it's sweep. Will need to investigate further.
