Profile of Tiger Baron

Alpha is alpha, meaning even if you took part in the previous one, they may not retain the features or whatever they were testing. Heck they might even ditch the new stuff. Never had this with Relic but I have with other companies. In other words there isn't much stuff to talk about in the first place, nor would it be appropriate because what might end up being announced would be different. If everyone blabbed after every alpha no one would know WTF the game has: a big reason for NDA is to prevent that (though frankly that would be preventable if Relic was just moreover public about the stuff).

I know what the Alpha is and yes I was even in the UKF one, what I meant was that I just played a few matches, answered the poll or whatever and then that's it, never opened the game again, my friend said they didn't say anything else about it either, if and when and what changes would take effect. Nothing, just poof, gone, like that. Feels like I've just wasted my time if anything.

Yes there are updates but we're not allowed to tell you.

Can someone just private messages me what the hell is going on with the Alpha at all? As I said my password keeps saying it's wrong but I can prove that I'm in the Alpha, got the invite e-mail and everything.

I gotta say this, thanks for the good laugh, I needed that, if not, feel free to provide pictures, videos or replays if you please, if not then continue on gentlemen, I'll make sure to visit this topic once I need a good laugh again.

Yeah I read that post about Relic considering making an Eastern Front expansion for CoH but they couldn't do the snow right or something like that because of the limited engine, but to be honest since ColdTech now became optional in CoH 2 it's all about the feeling in CoH which is well portrayed in the Battle of the Bulge mod and in Europe at War's Ardennes Assault maps, as far as I know it's modified rain, basically, and fits in perfectly, sure it doesn't add to stats and stuff like in CoH 2 but it stills feels like the units are fighting in snow.

If you want emplacements to be another unit needed to be babysit (microed) then give them the ability to somehow pack up and move, like the AoE II trebuchet.

Munition cost for sounds reasonable but not really sure about that...

And yeah sure the mortar pit has double mortars and might be the most powerful mortar but it's still static, and big. And has a bigger chance of getting killed by indirect fire because it's static.

Also note that the Brits are heavily bleeding MP to begin with, putting more mam power strain would just make it worse.

I suggest you boys play a bit on both sides, for example some may call me a Brit fanboy but before them I only played OKW. Now I tend to switch them around but generally I try to maintain a un-biased and neutral view and to be honest it does seem like a few things do need changes and even replacements but people just generally want to just flat out buff or nerf certain things instead of fixing them.

For a example how about the Bofors just replaces the mortar pit as a Tier the 1 emplacement but is a bit nerfed, Brits get a mobile mortar team, everybody is happy. Also for god's sake nerf the 17 pounder's pop cap. Put a munition cost on brace but don't over do it and then also put a muni cost on counter battery. But also increase it's range and instead of stopping the production of units just slow it down a bit. }
I'd also like to see other changes made to the commander like improved fortifications being replaced by Sapper tank traps and the advanced forward assembly being a munition upgrade instead of a man power one.
