The only way the Black Prince becomes acceptable is if its a Single Player Only unit in a Heart of Irons 4 style campaign in which you can research any number of different technologies in which case every faction would have fantasy make believe equipment.

And it is this positive attitude that brings me back to this forum again and again.
A lot of good critical thinkers, some helpful people, and even some trying to work to a better future. Thanks.

For those who say Black Prince is fine, good luck after Relic decided to put Maus or any other equally ridiculous unit, which "fits ww2 theme". And funny enough, Maus could be added using the exact same logic. Prototypes were built during the war and they were some what operational, just like Black Prince.

Adding Black Prince, basically creates a precedent when CoH will have fully ahistorical unit, which basically gives them a green light to pretty much add anything they want to. On its own kinda not a bad thing, if used smart, but Relic honestly is not smart in this regard, so you could expect only alternative universe BS.

And thats the sole reason for it be in the game. On dev.coh forums, guy literally created 1 thread saying "ship model is not historically accurate", relic jumped in and changed this model, later using it as an example of "OH WE LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY", yet, after dozens of threads about BP and the majority of people disliking it, relic just ignored them later to give excuses how their game "has a historical vibe, how it aims to look historically accurate but not be historically accurate" and some other shit. But yeah, for sure they add it only to give players ability to play with big tanks, sure.

What i don't like about this discussion is that relic at least tries to make some kind of next Gen RTS.

i mean ,look at tempest rising. another Rock paper Scissors lameduck with toy tanks and clone animations and 90s gameplay, just like evry other RTS in the last 15 years

Relic is the only RTS dev who builds this kind of atmospheric and vivid battlefield experience, not even total war gets this kind of atmosphere.

and i thank relic for that.

the real problems are mobile gamers, CoD buyers witcher only players etc.

One thing is for sure, the graphics look like they are plasticine or toy soldiers. And the main screen of the game is now a splash screen from a mobile game. All this, as well as the absence of Italy at the start and the ridiculous Black Prince, just pushes me away from the game. The people who are marketing this game are getting their salaries for nothing.
