Since this is a general feedback thread, I figured this would be the best place to post this. I agree with almost all of the changes, just a few things here and there I would like to see. I would like for commanders that DID receive new abilities to have their description updated for the commander. I'll post a few screen shots as examples.


If the image upload doesn't work, I'll just type it out.

German Mechanized Doctrine

"Mechanized forces had a tremendous amount of organic firepower including artillery and mobile mortars to smash enemy defenses"

With a command tank, a 250/1 with NO Grenadiers, smoke bombs, vehicle repair and spotting scopes, I think the commander could stand to have the description updated to reflect the fact its lacking any artillery, mobile mortars or even a mechanized infantry call in. If the team is going to completely change the flavor of a commander, they should update the description so its inline with the other ones, and to reflect the new abilities.

Here's another example:

Festung Support Commander



Now lacking the leFH, but gaining forward supply station and a command tank, the commander description should be updated to reflect that.

A Soviet one since this is a general, after all.

Tank Hunter Tactics



"ML-20s can shell the enemy from afar" should be changed to B-4 howitzers. The PMD-6M Light Anti-Vehicle Mines ability has been merged with bunkers and tank traps. What happened to the AT Grenade assault where conscripts can throw a bunch of AT grenades all at once? Did that get merged with this ability too?


I hope this is something that the team is keeping in mind throughout the development of this update. I know the beta was just released today, but polish should be something that is always kept as a priority.

The changes are great, for the most part, but I'm more concerned about how it looks at its end state. Good job overall, gents.

If the Fallschirmjager are losing their Panzerfaust, can we get rid of the bulletin for it too? I'd hate to have a useless bulletin just sitting around if this unit is going to be losing a piece of kit they've had since they were introduced with the faction.

So going by your logic, if I am playing Rising Storm 2: Vietnam and play as the Vietnamese, am I playing the good guys or the bad guys?

On-topic:



Clearly you've never been on a receiving end of a 4v4 Axis losing streak of 10, have you?

As long as emplacements remain, Allies will always be OP

I didn't mean that all. If you are biased against anyone who likes to play as the Germans, save your crap for someone who cares. What I said was, many people like the idea of playing as "the bad guys". I never said the Germans were the good guys, not at all.

Like with the Empire in Star Wars games, Nod and the Scrin in C and C, is what I meant. The "bad guy" factions get the most unique units that aren't the same old, bland and boring Sherman after Sherman after Sherman, and the bland and boring "America saves the day again" stuff you see in movies and other video games.

Yes, the Nazis were evil and committed terrible acts. I never said they were the "good guys" or the Vietcong were "good". "Evil" and "bad" characters are ones people always have to fight against and it gets boring after many games that do the same thing, so it is interesting to have the opportunity to play as "the bad guys" because they seem more interesting.

The King Tiger when you use its spearhead ability,
"Set battery switches to full! Adjust field of view to 90 degrees!"
"Focus on the 90 degree arc! Divert power to traverse control!"

OKW Heavy tanks taking fire from the enemy,
"Ha ha ha! They're scratching our paint!"

The Wehrmacht tanks when you use their blitzkrieg ability,
"Blitzkrieg the bastards!"

Some of the idle chatter when there is a lull in combat, especially from the Wehrmacht units.

"I don't cheat, you just can't play cards!"
"Cold blooded? Nothing cold blooded about me! I get quite worked up!"
"Ever looked at a Maxim? Stone age! STONE AGE!"

Obersoldaten about the Italians,
"Did you hear what happened when the Italians joined the war? They were going to send 5 divisions to deal with them! Then someone pointed out they're on our side! So instead they sent 20 divisions!"

And these are just some of my favourites I've heard over the 1300 hours I've played. The unit dialogue is probably the main reason why I keep playing this game, along with the music despite what has been done to this game over the course of its life.

Hopefully if Relic does another Company of Heroes game set in WWII, they make the units as colourful and vibrant as they are in CoH 2. I've played the first one, and I found the dialogue to and personality of the units to fall flat, especially the German ones, but that is just my opinion. I think CoH 2 really improved over what CoH 1 did in that regard.

I agree with what @Aronin said. (I don't know how to quote, I don't post here often, mainly lurk)

I think a lot of this comes down to an l2p issue for Allied players. I agree, as someone who plays OKW more than any other faction, they can use some tweaks, like making the MG-34 better, giving the leIG 18 smoke rounds and maybe bring back hollow charge, but other than that the faction has already been hit with so much it doesn't need anything more.

Yes, emplacements are annoying, but I think for many people who scream about nerfs need to learn some better tactics. That is what after action reviews are for (AARs), aren't they?

I think the mod team for the WBP has done some absolutely amazing work, and I like the fact they are listening to the player base. I also think it would help to look at things with a cold objectivity a little more, and to not cater to the people who's problem is they are bad players.


At first I thought UKF was a tremendously overpowered faction, but after playing against it so much, like with the other factions, it has its fair share of things that can be exploited to make the fight against it easier.
UKF is a decent faction already. It just needs a few tweaks to a few units to bring it in line with the other factions.


Keep up the good work, mod team.
