They may not but they have another four years of the plan for this game plus the use of the engine in future games (dow3). I did not expect them to redesign building damage but they did.

Anyhow theorising what other changes would we like

The core engine changes (input lag but also the more left field building rework and cover changes) in the recent patch were a little surprising as no one (as far as I know)had guessed that this stuff was in the pipeline. It is very encouraging as despite many people concerns and gripes about current balance it indicates to me a genuine long term commitment to game development.

It has however set me thinking as to what else might be, or could be considered for further steps to improve the engine itself - and I don't want to open the optimisation debate so please don't post about this although graphical additions to the engine (for those who really understand this stuff) would be relevant

The first thing that occurred to me thinking about the building change with its panels etc is the sometimes discussed addition of tank side armour to improve tactical tank combat (allowing actual rear armour to be a true weak spot) and reward flanking and tank micro better.

What other thoughts do people have?

(Btw nice move Relic - you have rewarded my faith)

I played a game on moscow outskirts winter in the north position.

When sending my units to the fuel in the west they ignored a fence and ran through it as if it wasn't there. the mg did it first and then later I saw grens doing it.

I forgot to save the replay but it is the fence at the far left of the paddocks in the north - if you run in a straight line from the base to the western fuel rather than going via the road you pass through/ over it.

This may be a map fix - it would make sense to help the northern player reach the point quickly and I believe south is favoured slightly on this map (I think). OR it may be a bug

wierdly when the grens went through it they seemed to almost think about jumping it - but then seemed to kind of limbo underneath

Tried verifying your steam game files?


Sorry just noticed you reinstalled (edit)

I'm sure there was a thread on this but cannot find it. The new buildings mechanic although intended to make building collapses more predictable has an issue with wooden buildings and multiple grenades such as the assault grenades ability.

In my last 1v1 two buildings with reasonable health including the rather large wooden church on semois were brought down by these abilities. Small sheds should explode in this way but not structures so large. Hope they tune this for final release or these abilities will be spammed on building maps.
