When you had to choose 1 3vs3 and 1 4vs4 map, where you think it would be the best for automatch ( the less changes needed or noone at all). Which would it be?
And this here does not mean, that any of ToW will get into automatch. It is about saving me some time. I can't watch all maps.
Brody tank war for 4vs4 and Heavy Rain for 3v3.
Brody is ready for automatch and Heavy Rain need some tweaks. |
Nigo and your further info on the matter I think shines some light on a good idea of a possible British Lend-lease doctrine for the Soviets, think about it for a second here:
We know that there is an un-used Soviet tanker looking commander, this would be perfect for it.
Something with a lend-lease Valentine and Churchill tanks and perhaps again a supply drop, vehicle crew repair and... Soviet Industry? I have no idea, but it sounds good on paper at least.
I also thought about some Ostheer Armor in the OKW like a StuG III and the Tiger, they even have voice lines for them, can be heard in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtDNG3nJPL8
What do you guys think?
I will post more ideas about that later. They are good on paper. |
I know that its technically in the game files, but its still DLC. You dont pay for the maps themselves, just the privilege to play them, and giving people that privilege for free might cause concern in the business department.
Relic already did this with others ToW maps in the past, like the General Mud map as example.
Another example: Brody Tank war is a free DLC. Every player have this map in the first ToW in CoH2. |
My ideas:
SOVIETS
Reconnaissance Tatics commander
1 - (PASSIVE) Forward Observers
Conscripts squads now see further while in cover or garrisoned.
3 - (PASSIVE) Conscript Long range Package
Conscripts can upgrade to replace their rifles with DP-28 LMG for better long-range firepower.
4 - Recon Overflight
Available aircraft will fly a high speed loiter over the target area.
4 - Recon Soviet tools
Conscripts, Penal Troops, Snipers and Combat Engineers have acess to all soviet recon tools like Trip Wire Flares, Recon Parachute Flares and Armored Detection.
6 - Observation Detachment “Valentine”
A British Lend-Lease Valentine Light Tank can be deployed to the battlefield.
OKW
Knight's Cross Holders Doctrine
1 - Knight's Cross Sniper
Deploy a Veteran sniper in the area. This sniper have access to call light artillery barrage.
1 - Sturm Offizier
A Sturm Offizier and Obersoldaten escort can be deployed to the battlefield. The officer improves nearby infantry and has a number of abilities to weaken the enemy.
4 - For The Fatherland!
Infantry in friendly territory will recieve offensive and defensive bonuses for the duration of the ability.
6 - (PASSIVE) Panzer Commander
The Panzer IV, Panther & King Tiger can be upgraded with a Panzer Commander that can survey the battlefield and call in coordinated artillery strikes.
16 - Command King Tiger
Deploy a veteran command King Tiger. Only one is available. This call-in will disable the normal King Tiger.

I fully support this. New content, and better yet, vintage-style at that really scratches my itch, even its "Optimized".
However, relic might take a small issue with this. You're supposed to pay for these, right? Its like being able to download WF/Brit maps on the workshop. I think I still have one brit map unlocked from some random game I played years back. The page its supposed to have got taken down.
You don't need to pay. Relic just need add this as normal map in a future patch.
Everybody have this TOW maps (and Ardennes Assaults MP maps too) in your gamefiles. Relic just need to unlock to you. |
Give Cavalry Rifleman (with less abilities) to Rifle Company. Makes sense on that company.
|
This map is horrible to automatch. |
Looks like much better. |
I'm afraid that it will need more work like cover balance, new sector layout, pathfinding optimisation, object adjustment for pvp balance. All those Relic maps were created for PvE games. They are using choke points or special sector layout to improve the PvE gameplay. So those maps will need a lot of testing (same story compared to the AA maps).
Thats the reason I posted all this unused stuff in this forum.
MonoBacon already made changes to Brody Tank War map. This map is ready for automatch.
The 4v4 crowd will love Brody as automatch map. |
