I dont understand your terminology. Usually cost effective means that a unit is very effective for the amount you pay- thus it is cost efficient. You seem to view the terms "cost effective" and "cost efficient" as having different meanings, please explain.

Sure, both words (efficient, effective) seem pretty similar but they are not. Both are aimed towards a process and its results.

Effectivity is how well a job is done. If we are talking about a shooting range, a sniper rifle will almost always hit where you aim, also as dead center as possible.

Efficiency is how certain you are from getting the job done, also with the less amount of effort. I.e. A shotgun if we keep on the previous example. A single pellet hitting the target should do.

A cost-efficient unit is one that mostly trades resources, you might loose a tank in a 2v1 but both tanks you had were less expensive than the other one you were facing.

A Cost-effective unit is one that ensures you the job done, a sniper killing models is one of the best examples. Since the game has flanks, FoW and complex cover mechanics, units are indeed more or less effective at specific tasks. (AI/AT/preservation/mobility)

Thats why there are endless discussions of Squad1 vs Squad2 in the balance forums, people dont realize that unit have multiple tasks to perform and different effectivities at each one. But because unit preservation is paramount in CoH2 the cost-efficient units are often, but not limited to, the hard counters like TD vs Heavy Tanks

NO SOLDIER SHOULD RETREAT! DIE TO ALL COWARDS. INSTADETH AT THE PUSH OF THE DAMN 'R' BUTTON.

Allright that was pretty dense, but now that i think straight, a dmg reduction would also affect mines on the retreat path. Making them less effective

Doesn't sound like he's respectful towards others.

Listen, CODGUY often insults the game and he even insulted game developers. Thats a bad move to begin with. Players that like the game will feel insulted aswell.
Then he consistenly denies any sort of rational fact, disagrees because people dont agree with him, starts ranting in his OPs and he is very clear with his biased point of view.

People use humor and irony to tear apart a little of that toughness he pretends to have, because their arguments are pretty lame.

Lets not start a forum war because of liking/disliking other people.

CODGUY being bullied because of its rank?
I think you havent read enough of his posts to get that impression.

I would suggest a half dmg reduction half received acc boost. Less RNG, but also a little protection against snipers and snipe shots.

I like the idea, a QoL change.

I would add as optional revamp to increase the fordward retreat points, because retreat path is very important and this consistency could lead to exploits.

Another idea i want to stick with the topic would be a "Demoralization aura" that some specific tanks could have (heavies mostly) that will force retreats (like the sturm offizier) when squad models reach 2 or 1.
