Interesting. Thanks!

I've been reading a book: "When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler" and- yeah... there are several battles and engagements I think they could have done (and y'know, as a war correspondent, covered). Like jesus, the Soviet Airborne were butchered early in the war. Interestingly they they not only were well trained, but they "had a high proportion of motivated Communists."

Their biggest role was to either infiltrate and cause havoc behind enemy lines or relieve encircled Soviet pockets. But poor navigation, command, and transports being shot down (there was one incident where ~40% or more of the Commanding Staff were lost from being shot down.

Stuff like this could have been missions. Trying to save an encircled Soviet force, sacrificing your men, and all that under a time limit or limited units would have been really thrilling.

But yeah, the best CoH missions I feel are the ones that have you run against the clock. I'd argue sadly a lot of CoH1 missions fall into: No Time Limit, Build Units, Attack, Rebuild Units, Attack. Rinse and Repeat.

I recall liking the Mortain mountain mission quite a lot. Seizing and Holding the VPs while the enemy attacked you from all sides. The D-Day mission was pretty mind blowing.

Oh, CoH1 missions also went a bit too long? And I mainly blame the build/repair times. Holy crap they take foreeeeever to arrive on the battlefield D:

So just because you win one game and you succesfully beat an enemy who spam mg means that we shouldn't change anything,we should let things the way they are and stress ourselves with counters and fears of another bad game with an mg spammer...

I play all factions ,I like all of them and I would love to see beautifull battles and managment and less shitty tactics especially mg defensive.

It's not a zombie simulator where you put your mg in green cover and shoot everyone who comes in your area.
Vanilla coh did it so much better with the mg's but it's really sad because that game is dead now unlike coh 2 but I'm afraid that with this type of mentality,coh 2 will be dead in the future too.
