Thx for sparing me the effort of typing that Thrill! Also what are you complaining about OP? Russians being too week? XDXDXD

pretty much everything thats said here...

during thwe alpha I got the feeling that CoH2 plays alot like sudden strike. A friend of mine then pointed out, if he wanted to play suddenstrike he would be playing sudden strike.
Though alot of things have been changed ever since regarding pace and gameplay mechanics it still is different from vCoH.

To me it feels like we have the classical who-should-we-balance-for situation. On the one hand the majortiy of players will not consider itself competitive in that sence. Also a not to be underated part of the target audience consists of people who are really into this WW2 stuff but don't care about our little pvp problems. This people will most likely not care about how well the UI aggregates the information relevant for playing (I don't even think a big part of the CoH public match community does either), but will be happy to read useless information about the units from time to time. Same concept goes for blizzards and so on.
So when you create a game, or any piece of software for that matter, that targets a great audience (not a single group of skilled professional users) it seems logically to address the needs of the bigger part first, because they also make the majority of the money.
However, then you will give away alot with what I hereby refer as professional audience (you and me).
Then again the things Tommy pointed out are really easy to fix. Swap the sprites for the blizzard, change some weights in the crit equations no big deal.

I would even go as far as saying an UI overhaul would be a manageable effort. But this will most likely not happen, because this is not starcraft 2. There is no 20 year old, million strong pvp community waiting. Maybe we will be getting stuff, but not too soon.
