I really get annoyed by too many unfinished things about CoH2, for example my PC can run BF1 on ultra without an issue with over 80 fps but in CoH2 my menu fps is 15fps and in game i dont get higher than 50 and when a explosion happens it even goes down to 40.

CoH2 optimization is pretty bad. Some of it is the lack of SLI support, some of it is just bad programming, and some of its memory leaks. Rule of thumb, restart every 3 games or so.

The maps feel like rushed, It seems like Relic did not take time to make a proper map for this game and you are forced to play 4v4 maps in 2v2 games. For example Ettelbruk station is one map that OKW is completely unbeatable in because of how large the map is and OKW can make a safe retreat point to the trucks and too many buildings which can be occupied by OKW infantry. In CoH2 grenades are effective against Buildings as soon as you throw the enemy goes out and comes back inside to avoid damage in less than a second but on other hand OKW has flame grenade by volks which completely disables the building for some time and you are forced to fight them in normal cover in super close quarter map.

CoH1 style building mechanics would actually work well here with a one-by-one reload mechanic. Unfortunately, that's not a thing, so we're stuck with Company of Buildings. I play a lot of 2v2 and its definitely worse than the 1v1 pool, there's too many maps that are too big, too small, chokepoint heavy or overly cluttered with buildings. Thankfully, there's a 2v2 map contest, so fingers crossed that some of the crappier maps are buried.

I take your advise about not using brens on tommies against OKW next time and go for 5 men squads. I usually only go 3 tommies + fast grenade upgrade and fight with normal rifles and in late game I take brens for vetted troops it always works and I always get full map control but suddenly the zero kill vet 5 units come back and I have to retreat. One retreat and entire map is in the hands of immortal vet 5 units of OKW.

Honestly, you could probably skip the grenades as well. Sappers, especially with 5 men, are a lot better at short range than you might expect, especially with the vet one cover bonus. They're also not bad as Bren gun carriers since their vet3 doesn't give them butter-fingers like Tommies and their weapons is (oddly) better than Tommy version. Vanguard and Special Weapons regiment can also really help with field control as Vanguard gives you a forward retreat and cheap commandos while Special Weapons gives you a halftrack.

For 250 ammo one could expect a bit more consistency in terms of what the ability actually does.

Otherwise the commander isnt that bad imo.

No, its not a bad commander, but its a commander that lacks a real reason to pick it and doesn't really add anything to OKW would ever need.

Okay, played some more games and here are my thoughts so far:
-Pretty much agree with Dave, especially when it comes to the airdropped weapons, the MP consumption is crazy. Munitions makes a lot more sense for the drops.

-Major spends a lot of time idle or retreating right now, he basically a glorified sprint bitch 90% of the time. A higher mp cost and an extra squad member or two would leave him durable enough to chill out near the front lines and be in position to drop arty without being a liability. Changing his plane's targeting to mirror the Brit Airlanding Officer's directional targeting would also be a decent QoL change.

-The new Greyhound is pretty awesome, its like a USF T70/Luchs and really fills the void left behind by the Stuart's deserved nerfs, but costs a fortune in munis to get running. I'd rather pay more mp/fuel upfront and have the skirts as stock.

-Heavy Cav smoke drop is still pretty far out of line compared to the later CP and slower arriving Ost smoke plane and should definitely be looked at. Everything else feels really good so far.

I know how thankless the task you guys are undertaking can be and the amount of time and effort you're putting into it. It doesn't mean a hell of a lot, but thank you for doing this, I really appreciate what you're doing for this game.

How did the M18 differ from the M9 in that game? Besides the fact that bazookas only came with Rangers whereas M18 was an upgrade.

Its been a while, but IIRC zooks have low pen, high damage and RRs are the opposite.

I would rather see some of the maps get fixed so we don't have to use all our vetoes in the first place and cycle some of the ones that can't be fixed out for some of the community maps.
