Which other RTS match COH2, but without egregious random factors like Main Gun Crits? No, Starcraft, AOE2, Warcraft, etc are nothing like CoH2.
If it's an infinitesimally, and meaninglessly tiny chance then why do you care if its even in the game?
Because it gives a layer of unpredictability excitement unlike any other game does. I love helping hans with "where is my luck in this game" or von ivan "that was/is unfortunate" or in my own games when a big tank looses his gun when he was about to kill my medium tank or at gun. Yeah it sucks at the moment it happens to me, but soon after i still enjoyed the esp if i still managed to win it afterwards.
I do love dow2 as well, but compared to coh2 is quite clean and predictable, a lot less fun because of it.
