Your opinion is been respected ,no need to argue with you. Smoking gun is the one for the job though.

Some CoH1 vehicles have a excellent pathing (PE Panthers for example) on the other hand some vehicles pathing is just unacceptable (PE HTs).

CoH2 has the edge over CoH 1 in matters of vehicle pathing. There are some small improvements and the pathing is more or less even no matter what vehicle you look at. This equality is a huge improvement.

Still, in my point of view the reverse button means to give up in the face of the pathing problems. They weren't able to find a solution so they bypass the issue by including the reverse button and call this a great new feature.

You are so right!I'm 100% with you.Either way I prefer micro over reverse button.

Definitely vcoh HD is the way, i say vcoh and not OF also. Because it will be a new product it will attract new buyers, and the good part is it will be already balanced quite good if you decide to import Elite Mod fix.

So new graphics(SLI support is a must, 2014 wtf, new gun sounds, here coh2 is much better than coh1, new maps, OBSERVER MODE. OPTIONAL: In order to add more depth you could make the flamethrowers droppable, MG42 droppable also after the squad wipe on retreat, and the best feature in COH2 the reverse button, i dont know what the pros would think about vaulting and the True Sight though. And thats it, Ill pay 30 bucks or more instantly.

I agree with most of what you saying but not with the OPTIONAL part.
Imagine one squad of grenadiers with panzershreck and flamethrower...it's not infantry anymore(from the aspect of ranged fighting).The mg drop on the retreat it's ok.

I don't want vCoH to be like CoH2 with reverse button, vaulting and True Sight, what it needs is more simple than implement new things in it, is to make as good as possible the characteristics that already has.
Plus more maps, fix balance, fix bugs, fix ranks, lobby and all the other things that most of people here asking. May be observer mode and better graphics say may be because as I have already said to a previous post I think graphics and sound are pretty strong despite the years.

At least that's what I think.

Probably to most of the people involved in this thread, including me, CoH2 didn't had the appeal that orginal CoH still has. I miss the streams from SNF, ntd, pez, budwise, marinez, gendodo, nosliw, xcom, helpinghans, pepsi, inverse, c0mpl3x1ty, devm, sandland, sepha, etc... (sorry if I am missing someone). How many of them are currently broadcasting CoH2? and how many of them still broadcast original CoH?

What a glory moments!
This game is still awesome and was full of players ,casters etc that they have given us so many good times.SNF back to those days was something like champions league for me! How I miss those days.

My main concern is that with this tactic followed so far by Relic/Sega the pool of players will be gradually getting smaller and smaller then ultimately the servers will close. Eventually some day in the future they will but this plan don't seem right to me.
Choices you have:

1)You support the game (as an old game and not as new) but you fix serious problems, rebalance some units, bugs, add new maps etc. You don't make any changes to graphics. This way you keep the ones that have already pay for it and you attract back the ones that already have it and don't play it. The sales will also grow because the product they are buying is good enough, near or even better than the pre-steam state.(game is still alive and you extend its viability)
I'm ready to pay for it if that is necessary.

2)You make an HD version with all the changes that needs to be done. Better support than choice 1,It will include new graphics, all the fixes that choice 1 has ,plus some changes that justify the cost, new campaigns etc. Sales I think will also grow in that case too(at least that's my opinion, game is still alive and you extend its viability)

The way now is been followed will eventually make more and more people to leave.

It's really good news that you Noun will pass both requests, I'm waiting impatiently to hear news about this.

I would also like to see a game based only on original vCoH (Wehrmacht and Americans)
I'm sorry if I make some people that love Brits and PE unhappy.

Hope for some changes.
