So you want the to automatically star search once you click the automatch button? This won't be a welcomed change IMO.

Otherwise it is still 2 clicks just like I counted. Also mind that currently the automatch button in multiplayer submenu is exactly where the multiplayer button is in main menu so you dont even need to move mouse to click it...

So, maybe here was some misunderstanding (i make mistake with mathematics). By the way, my idea is quite simple - remove nonnecessary undermenues in game and unite everything in one big menu (just how it described in first post). Of course it is not so necessary as balance. but with design working designers, not balance team. That mean
one doesn't interfere with other.
P.S. Comfort for players always worth devs time. Just my opinion.

Update first post, delete some offtopic information (like update units from campaign and ToW to current from MP).

Since release of CoH 2 passed 3 years (end of 2013-2016). Many things were changed, many things was added. But some things still in 2013. I am talking about main menu in game. I will try to explain without images (i can't download them here and i don't know why):

allies Current Main Menu allies

What can you do from main menu in CoH 2:
1. Enter singleplayer. Ok
2. Enter Multiplayer. Here is problem. You open new page with 4 buttons with screens from Alpha CoH 2, and difference between this buttons in what type of match will be set by default in your lobby (Versus Players, versus AI, Custom Game). You can choose it in lobby. No need to make separate menu before opening of lobby.
It's enough space in main menu for 1 additional button (Server browser)
3. Enter Theater of War.
4. Enter Live games. Ok
5. Watch Replays. Ok
6. Tutorials. Ok
7. Addition Content. Ok
8. Exit to Windows. Ok

Also, you have additional small menu in bootom-left corner. I think it should be integrated in the Main Menu.
1. Showcase. Unnecessary. You have steam achievments for this.
2. Options. Why they are not in the main menu?
3. Match stats. It's the only unique button here. I don't know what to do with it. Maybe add it to the lobby?
4. Leaderboardes. Can be added to main menu, also you can look it from the lobby.
5. Customer Service. Can be added to main menu.
6. Credits. Can be added to main menu.
7. Exit to Windows. Duplicate.
8. Enter global chat. Never see somebody talking here. We are here for fight, not for talking. Also, you have many other ways to communicate with people and find teammates (like coh2.org )

What i want to say as conclusion? CoH 2 need menu redesign. Player should have no problems to do everything he needs from main menu.

allies How main menu should looks like allies

1. Singleplayer:
1.1 USSR Campaign
1.2 USA Campaign
1.3 Theater of War

2. Multiplayer:
2.1 Open Lobby
2.2 Open Server Browser
Edit. I think multiplayer section from vCoH is the best solutin here. With it's upper menu you see everything you need from multiplayer in game.


3. Learn.
3.1 Live Games
3.2 Replays
3.3 Tutorials

4. Additional Content
4.1 In Game Store
4.2 Modding Hub

5. Other
5.1. Options
5.2 Customer Service
5.3 Credits
5.4 Exit to Windows

Thank you for attention!

Yes, USSR have a very (so very) good Tier 2, Tier 3 and some doctrines as bonus. But no, USSR is not unstopable, also it has problems with T1, T4 and big list of useless units.

Maybe replace KV-2 on ISU-152? KV-2 so rarely used in 1944-1945. And ISU-152 can be named as succesor to KV-2 in Soviet Army.
