sorry to see this.
My recommendation is : If there is a bunch of people who do not like you or what you are saying, then walk away.
If possible, refrain from starting a war and enjoy your stay at Coh2.org. It is nice here.
Or play coh2.
honestly, if they do not want you, so be it. Neither do you probably.

i brought the topic here cause i knew they wouldnt follow it here as this site is not made for compstompers glad to see others opinions though.

I played some games in that mod and watched your replay. And I must say you are wrong. I mean their behaviour is wrong and strange but I dont really know what is in your rewiew. What I saw and can say is that you are juding ballance after playing one game! Also the fact that in some mods strategies from original dont work doesnt mean its imballanced! I installed it with a feeling that as every historical mod it will be either completely boring or completely imballanced, in fact it is neither of the two. I still prefer original coh to it but it has some great features and didnt break the game.

What you should keep in mind is that in vcoh units deal close to no damage at all, which is funny sometimes, soldiers cant hit each other when hugging their opponents. That is becouse coh is ballanced by nerfing overperforming units, cousing all of them to perform bad.

In this mod they took another route - they made hardcounters really hardcounter. In coh terminology you could say that every single unit is OP! Seems crazy? Maybe but it plays well from I can see after a few matches. Its less forgiving and more deadly, more strategy than micro oriented, definitely needs some time to accustom yourself to it. Less forgiving also means that once you are behind its hard to come back - that is what your replay comes down to, to the point when shermans arrive.

The only real problem I can see in that mod is the problem of all coh1 mods - complexity. Modders always seem to make commander trees as broad as possible (is it some kind of modder competition?) and tech tree filled with as many units as possible, often performing same roles. They always have more concept than the mod really needs. The complexity of the mod makes it really hard to start playing sometimes and this mod, and your statements are the best proofs for it. It also makes it really hard for devs to ballance all the commander trees, that is probably the reason why sherman battlegroup is so cheap. On the other hand if your friend knew that it is coming he would be able to prepare better for example by mining the field.

that you can win the game by simply saving manpower for those off map reinforcement is not wrong to you? my enemy had everything in this game versus me, i only spent 1200 manpower and i won him with one click and i had almost no sectors under my control in entire game time. our judgement comes from 4 games and i uploaded only one because others were team games and it was versus people who were not really good at all so it wouldnt prove anything.

manpower is the only resource which does not need sector to be gained,and as you see the only thing you need in this mod to win the battle is manpower. it is not only armored company which can be OP like this, same goes about wehrmacht defensive doctrine you can try them to see how OP they are with those off map reinforcement.

from the developer coh stats it is clearly noticeable this mod is %100 designed for compstomping because the AI difficulity is really high if you play against it you will see it plays like a player who has maphack and monitors your moves step by step. so they brought such huge commander abilities to be able to beat this AI with any faction, it leads to "only action" battle between players and the AI. just like COH opposing fronts panzer elite campaign which you can send 2 jagdpanthers at some levels to have huge tank battles. but this in pvp is another story. it is only one sided battle for the army which has better off map reinforcement. would you bother yourself to spend fuel + man power and tech tree buildings to make a sherman for 400 manpower and some fuel or just save 1200 manpower and call in an entire USA armored units?

well, happens. Probably did not feel great.
Not a pleasure for both parties.

bye the way: I was expecting sth completely different here under your title about being "banned on steam".

it is not about that the mod has said it is historical and it means it is unbalanced, as soon as i posted this review i was flamed by the moderator and the developer. they claim it is balanced and i am the only person who says it is unbalanced. and then i get banned from their forums without even posting anything more than a review.

i was also expecting sth completely different after posting my review but i got that like some comment from developer "thanks for your feedback" or something lol

I thought it is better to share this story here:

3 days ago i was browsing store and i saw europe at war in recommended list so i headed to the store page and saw the reviews, i was surprised that this mod had only 14 negative reviews and over 140 positive reviews, specially when i read 3 reviews saying "this is what Coh1 and Coh2 should have been not those garbages they gave us" so i thought maybe some real good players are behind this mod.

I downloaded the mod and i directly jump in skirmish to discover the new units and new abilities, well commanders have like tones of off map reinforcements for 1200manpower, like you can even send 4-5 Upgraded shermans with 2 support halftrucks and 2 riflemen squads (9men each) with bazookas and 2 engineers with flamers (all come in for 1200manpower).... anyway i make it short: balance means nothing in this mod you basically can win a game by just surviving until this ability gets unlocked. me and an old COH1 friend did a 1v1 and the replay of this game can be found here:

http://www.coh2.org/replay/46078/eaw

we basically just showed how unbalanced the game is, because i was totally outplayed from start since PE MGs have range of snipers and he had tiger 2 panthers and 1panzer IV and i had only 3 riflemen squad and was just saving manpower for those off map reinforcement, so although i had no sectors under control with only one click i won the game by sending those offmap things.

I posted a review on community hub and the store page about this mod, a few minutes later i was just getting add requests + New comment notifications + invitations etc etc from who? from the developer and his moderators. they bashed and blamed me to hell that i have no understood this mod and i have no knowledge over CoH1, i checked their stats and what i saw was only Compstomp games and not even a single pvp match stats. so i started to say this mod is great for compstomping because you have tones of options to continue the battle for hours versus AI but for PVP it is completely a garbage in terms of balance. it was not long after that i got warning from steam that my review is "abusive" and has been flagged by the developer, then there were comments from one of the moderators who just didnt back off and kept flaming me to hell just because i said it is unbalanced. at the end i edited my review saying "do not download this mod unless you wanna be flamed by the mods and dev himself they are typical a**holes you are not even allowed to speak out your thoughts"

then another moderator of this mod who already has me on addlist downloads the replay watches it and says : i do not see any balance issues, i check her stats and i only see compstomp. then i question her how come you are able to judge a 1v1 pvp when you only have played versus AI? then this is where i got a ban on forums for this mod and my review is still flagged as abuse to steam moderation team lol. and when you ask them to play versus you so maybe you can prove it "i never play pvp" so please.....

I started browsing the forum to see if i can find any other members who think this is unbalanced and i added one of them, and his review was deleted because of abuse as well, i am guessing he said the game is unbalanced.

So yea guys stick to the main game and keep away from mods which can be downloaded from steam, as it seems there are too many power thirsty kids that can not take suggestion or feedback lol

So DevM has paid for his win in OCF?

this game is not based on skill. you do not have a bad call of duty player niether a good call of duty player because that game is just a joke for kids, same goes about COH2, it is the call of duty of RTS! if he has used a OKW + USF + Brits or any premium commanders for original armies soviets and wehrmacht yes he has paid for his win. because by buying the game alone u have no access to those the problem is the entire smart people who played COH1 are gone and abandoned this gargabge so what is left behind is bunch casuals who were totally sucky at COH1 and now thanks to coh2 always working spam tactics and paid to win DLCs they are able to win games so they support this garbage i am so sad my entire play time in COH2 comes from open beta and it shows i have 280 hours on this garbage game this is just a pitty for my steam profile
