I wouldn't like COH3 to be anything but WW2. Post WW2 you have cold war and a lot of different skirmishes through proxy countries and it would not be a lot of fun designing factions. Besides, future is dominated by C&C, along with modern warfare (C&C Generals).
COH made it's biggest impact in the WW2 era and as such should keep it. Why fix something that ain't broken.

Possible campaigns for WW2 include Africa, Mediterranean, Scandinavia, etc.

It wouldn't be bad that they implement naval warfare (Pacific theater), provided that the engine will receive overhauls (from performance to features)

If only Sections were as good AI wise as the Elefant tank...

That pretty much sums it. Add double Brens to them, you have infantry that scales late game vs Obers and other elite Axis infantry. Don't really see the problem with Brit mainline infantry. Also consider the fact that for lategame, double bren is "only" 90 munitions, which is a bargain.

And if you pick commander with commandos, putting double brens on them makes them pretty good at close and medium range.

Brits are neither the worst nor the hardest to play. There are no "hard" factions to play, each has it's system of governing. Even less so "weakest". Each has it's weak points.

This is exactly what I am talking about. It seems like if your connection is too fast to the server, it lags behind and waits to hear back from all the slow PCs. Then all your shit gets rekt. The game is buggy as hell and unplayable for me due this code behavior. Most games it will not matter what you do, your shit will get rekt regardless. Until Relic fixes it (never) the game will always be a joke to me.

This is why I laugh my ass off at balance discussions. Who gives a shit if Brit IS has 10x armor if they get gibbed on the move outside FOW by mortars before you can even press retreat.

This shit was way worse in vCoh. And again, I was playing on LAN with friends. All on the same switch/hub. So there should be NO LAG. But ordinates would still fly around and follow you. And stuff would get rekt that clearly should not have.

Coh2 always seemed better to me. But it is only marginally better. And maybe it is because some days I get a slower connection so stuff plays out closer to what it should. Maybe I should add about 10 switches between me and my inet connection. Anyone know how many you can add before your 1500 byte packet gets rekt LUL

Either way, as I stated before, indirect and snipers completely ruin this game. So anything that removes those two things I am 100% for.

I have screamed since day 1 of playing this game "REMOVE ALL INDIRECT BULLSHIT!" Can the tourney mod do that also please?

I have done everything in my power to make the game better: maps, Celo, donations, etc. The rest is up to Relic and they do not give a shit about us at all. If I had the code for a week, I could probably fix 100 things and I do not even code C++ at all. But here we sit with an unplayable game for years??? Janne could fix it in a day tops.

EDIT: I currently do not have the game installed.

Indirect should stay. I laughed my ass off after that game. I have absolutely 0 problems with RNG, sometimes it's against me, sometimes I'm lucky with a random pak howi barrage into the FOW and wiping some unlucky bastard squad that just happened to clump up as they were running.

It's all part of the game and life, deal with it. RNG in all it's glory should stay in the game. Tourneys? Would be more fun but still, couldn't care less.

Speak for yourself!
I havent heard from a single tournament player that they dislike the tournament mod. We play tourneys for competetive matches and not some rng events deciding the game even tho that might be more entertaining to watch.
There is still rng involed as you mentioned but as opposed to those criticals that are removed by the mod, a player can calculate around hit/miss/pen rng

Of course they don't dislike it. That's because most likely they would throw a tantrum if their OKW P4 or Sherman got dismounted in the hostile side of the map. Let's be honest, removing RNG is basically being a little ****h about reality. Suck it up. Sure you can calculate pen and stuff like that but you can also calculate whether it's risky or not to dive with your tank/light. Is that also not calculable? Is it not calculable whether to risk your squad dying and possibly losing a weapon or should you risk a squad to get the kill on that elite expensive unit, or possibly not retreating when you hear werfer or stuka or katyusha? Everything in this game can be calculated to some degree, still it doesn't mean it's not dictated by the statistical distributions.

If there is one thing I have learned to not respect is people complaining about luck. I've had my share of bad luck, especially in university. Out of 30 groups of questions for the oral exam, I didn't bother to learn two which were hard but the possibility to pick any one was still 1/30. You need to know 2/3 questions thoroughly to pass which you pick randomly, so chances were that I pick one question 3%, and both, less than percent. Basically 1/30 * 1/29. That is a really low number. Guess what, out of 3 questions picker out of 30, I knew 28 and I managed to pick the two I didn't know at all.

Maybe a worse luck I've witnessed was when a person I knew parked their car outside, first time in ages, on the day the earthquake happened in Zagreb and the bricks leveled the car. He managed to buy another one, cheap one to get back on his feet (That was at the start of COVID-19 crisis in Croatia). Last month, he parked the car to go buy something for the wife next to the Church. On that day, the church bell decided to break on it's own, and it landed, again, on his car, smashing it. Only thing I know is that he laughed his ass off when he was telling me the story, witnessing an unbelievable stroke of (negative)luck.

Reintroduce the RNG into tourneys and maybe make the tourney fun to watch. I (really really) seldom watch any sort of video game stream, but once or twice I actually watched to see the strategies employed, it was clear that the 1v1 is boring AF. It's probably not for the participants, and that's great, as they are under stress of wining as it's probably one of their sources of income, but still, it's boring.

However, at the end of the day, I couldn't care less as it's only for tourneys. Just stating that luck is part of life.

Can you prove these claims of higher wins chances? The one example you give with choosing allies first resulting in a win isent enough to prove anything.
You believe this tournament is a great or the best way to indicate balance while it being a very small sample size?

You can say what you want about me needing playing okw more, but as long as you are known to toss stats and facts out the windows and ignore them completly, what you say does not hold any water.

Let me gues kimbo was stalling and got the warning when playing a allied faction? The warning was more for his arrogance then anything else.
And kimbo is just allround good he could even make the old soviets (pre golden day maxim) work current day. Using him to demonstrate the supiriority of allied or axis factions wont help your case.

True. You can't take a small tournament, draw conclusions, throw facts out the window and call it a day. One thing's experience, and other is factual argumentation. And using one player to prove something is UP or OP....well, Florence Nightingale, Gertrude Cox and Gauss would roll over in their grave hearing such malarkey...Infinitely more so, when you factor in the fact that COH2 has so many dynamic variables it's 99.9999...% impossible to predict the outcome of most time intervals in one game.
