Every now and then somebody catches you napping and you lose a squad to crush. If multiple squads are getting crushed you deserved to lose. Classic micro intensive counter to heavy blobbers, no reason to remove. If you could run over reatring squads it would be an issue, but you can't, so just hit T if a crisis is about to happen.

Map pool for 2v2 is ass but mainly for other reasons. #1 is a problem though.

If you want to tweak resource income for team 3v3 and 4v4, or make balance changes to the map, thats fine. But I don't care how much you think 3v3 and 4v4 should be catered to, theres 2 major issues. First off like I said, some units or commander abilities are really great in combination with each other and that cannot be addressed without fucking up 1v1 or possibly 2v2. Then another important thing to consider is the vast majority of 3v3 and 4v4 players aren't that great. Usually its l2p issues. I don't care what the majority is, its silly to balance the game to be more fair at a low skill bracket.

RTS games just favor certain factions at certain skill levels. COH1 favored US at the lower levels, then Axis at above average skill levels, and then from there the better you got the more balanced the game was. Terran is easier for low skill levels in SC, this is not unique to COH. I guess thats a product of asymmetrical faction design. Factions that require more use of glass cannon units or more combined arms are harder to master than factions that use more durable vehicles and more general purpose infantry. You can't be in favor of balance at every skill level without making all the factions identical.

Vet for US and WM in coh1 works great (maybe it was flawed at one point but in the games final state is fine), most complaints against it are l2p issues. PE system also solid, but it were up to me I would make other changes to the faction (get rid of that damn group zeal upgrade mainly). Brit vet has issues. There isn't anything inherently flawed about earning vet on an officer unit, but the fact that they were needed to advance in enemy territory and could make the whole blob sprint through MGs with the push of a button at vet 1 were bad ideas.

If I were to design a faction that used a officer vet system, the officer would have a larger radius (to cut down on blobbing), have a squad of escorts like the USF officers, and here would be a stacking penalty. For example a lieutenant unit would only benefit 3-4 infantry squads in the vicinity. Then every additional squad in his command aura is actually detrimental to the blob. Would be an interesting concept if there was a new faction that earned vet on the leaders but had mechanics to punish Brit blob style play.

Your opponents missplay is rewarded by loss of one of your key units. Sure, it how it supposed to be!

You keep sniper back and trade inf kills instead of rolling the dice going for counter snipes

Would you point me on ridiculous political correctness in coh2? Mb there is complety ahistorical trailers, which i dont know about?

I was talking about the game being dumbed down. I don't want any political correctness either.
