OH ok if you want to add all those things lets just add for USF the sherman 76 mm gun and sandbags in the fornt and side armor for protection and riflemen can build sandbags and mines withouth a commander and perhing will be on battalion dude get over it OKW weakness is the priceses

I'm all for that actually, I just never mention it because I don't play USF all that much.

I'd make the USF exactly like they were in CoH, maybe with a few changes like for example instead of the M1917 Browning they'd get the M1919A4 .30 Browning HMG.

And instead of having a separate sniper they'd have one in a squad as an ability like the British recon sections because historically it was the other way around, the British had snipers while the US Army had marksmen in their squads but no individual snipers.

I'd also give the Wehrmacht repair bunker upgrades, Dragon's Teeth tank traps, an upgrade for the Soviet T-34/76s to 85s similar to the 76mm Shermans you already mentioned.

I'd also change the British trenches to the model of their CoH counterparts and for them to be neutral and not already owned by the British player.

And I've already done most of this besides a few things in my past mods.

Might aswell start a thread.

That unit isn't in the patch scope.

Why would I ever consider going for that unit while the Sturmgeschütz is doing the job better (and tbh is the only thing keeping Wehr in the game)?

Why is Wehrmacht - which is supposed to have an "additional tier" - stuck with a Panther that comes later than the OKW counterpart, yet is weaker (worse MGs, reload time, accuracy on the move, less vet)?

This unit needs something. It fulfills a role that isn't needed and can't fight anything effectively. It's also not going to be any more usfeul if every now and then an ISU or IS-2 hits the field. It still has a horrible rate of fire.

Do something about it. People are talking about the Wehr Panther for a year now.

Well, I mean, people have been talking about Grenadiers being underpowered for a long time, as well as Wehrmacht not being on par with repairs compared to any other Army since they're the only ones that can't repair with anything else but Pioneers.

And my favorite, the lack of a forward retreat point which is a less popular opinion due to the fact that many competitive 1v1 players reside on these forums and play on smaller maps where FRPs are less crucial and more "abusive" than on bigger maps. But if you ask me it's a risk and reward thing where if your FRP is too up front you might get cut off and surrounded and therefore have all of your infantry annihilated as well as being able to push out more effectively and early if you choose a good spot but that's just my unpopular opinion from my own personal experience.

what about simply taking the best from coh1 & coh2,
focus on balanced factions and maps.

Night time mechanics is indeed an interesting thing, but be realist even one second, RELIC can't do that.

Take a look at blizzard thing in coh2, so much time from Relic wasted on it for finally geting it removed when they could have used this time fixing some Hard bugs.

If relic ever make Coh3 one day, i hope that they understand how important it is to focus on doing simple thing right, instead of doing a shit lot of stuff broken (Take a look at DOW3 if you don't trust me).

If we're honest here we all just want CoH but with CoH 2's content and new features and Quality of Life changes like the minimap capture queuing and multiple squad reinforcing.

Only a few people like CoH 2's shitty Army design (except for Brits to a bigger extent), shitty cartoony graphics (same with DoW 3), shitty commander design and shitty balance that is still shitty even after 4 years of patches and development.

Until this is in: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=679152285&searchtext=Artillery+Pit

The British will never be complete or balanced for me.

Especially now that you're paying a price near that of a normal mobile mortar for something that's big and static and has the same range of a normal mobile mortar.

OKW still needs their MG34 to be T0 and resource caches, I am sick and tired of having 4 man OKW teams or being forced to rely on my noobish Wehrmacht teammates just because of their MG support and resource caches.

And to people arguing that the OKW can't have everything in T0, they don't and I don't care if you remove the raketenbugggedwerfer or the kubelwagen from the HQ building, just give me my shitty T0 MG34 already. As far as resource caches goes, there is no reason why not to not add this since their unique resource system is gone, OKW is the only Army in the game not to be able to build resource caches.

If I'm honest and none-biased, I'd make less changes to CoH than I would to CoH 2.

Relic reached a sort of nice balance for CoH on their own, the community Balance team has been trying to do the same for CoH 2 for the past few months but their attempts have been kinda meh to most of the casual non-competitive 1v1/2v2 community that just wants to play the game for fun, and which is the predominant part of the game's entire community.

In terms of features and content, CoH 2 beats CoH, hands down, if of course we aren't counting CoH's many mods that adds a hell of a lot more than CoH 2. In that sector I count units, abilities, new features such as vaulting, truesight, ColdTech and so forth, oh and commanders.

But if I was to go into commanders specifically, CoH 2 was a down-grade in terms of commanders, the game used less when it could have used more in terms of abilities per commanders, and many commanders are useless (many Soviet and Wehrmacht commanders specifically).

The UI... eh, I prefer CoH's UI if I'm honest, I hate round corners, I prefer boxy corners, and the 3 map markers (Attack here, Defend Here, Capture here), but I like CoH 2's unit icons with the clocks for units that are idle under fire and so forth, but I prefer CoH's ability to hide the unit icons since sometimes there would be action on your Top right side of the screen or you'd have too many units and it would be a cluserfuck to choose.

And I also like CoH 2's quality of life changes, like the ability to queue capturing orders from the minimap, select multiple groups together, reinforce groups instead of only individual units like in CoH which is annoying, especially if you go PE and have lots of Panzer Grenadiers.

But that's about it, the graphics are too cartoony for me in CoH 2, same as Dawn of War 3, I much rather prefer CoH's more realistic, gritty and dark graphics, and also explosion effects.

Plus the design of the Armies is fucked up in CoH 2, it makes no sense at all that the Wehrmacht is stuck with wooden base structures while the OKW has mobile HQs and not concrete structures like in CoH, since they're basically a late war representation of the German Army, nobody mentioned anything about them being based on the Ardennes Offensive Wehrmacht before the Ardennes Assault expansion so I'll stick to Relic making them up out of thin air. But I like the design of the Brits, sort of, except for the mortar pit. It gives you more choices in terms of what you want to do with them than forcing you to dig in like in CoH. I just regret that Relic didn't go full out with it instead of half-assing it, Anvil and Hammer could have been so much more than what they are now. The USF are also a no sense Army, and the riflemen spam is due to the fact that you have really no other options since they're your basic infantry. CoH's design for the US Army is so much better if you ask me. And I like the simplicity of the Ostheer/Wehrmacht and Soviets, I just think that they're lacking the repair options of the WFA, forward retreat points and some heavier tanks (looking at Wehr/Ost specifically, OKW has all of the cool toys, the Elephant is low compared to the Jagdtiger).
