yeah, i thought about DLCs too, anyway coh2 is 10 euro in web, and the problem with it , the game isnot worth 10 euro, max 5-6 euro.

If you calculate entertainment on a per hour basis then CoH2 is definitely worth at least 10 Euro to you even if you never played it. Look at how much time you have spent on this board. Over 1200 posts?!

The best money I ever spent on a game was on vCOH. I would guess that even if I don't play as much on COH2 it will still be worth what I spent on the core game. Had I known about the US faction I might have waited, though I would spend full retail for that one (unless they mess up the faction).

I just wonder why they made HMGs a soft counter against light vehicles. Aren't light vehicles meant to be one of the best counters for weapon teams?

I guess the still are, just that you can't just park it in front of a machine gun and still win.

Heavy machine guns have always been a counter to light vehicles. Light vehicle armor is actually ineffective against direct, close range, hits from high velocity rounds (including rifle rounds). Heavy machine guns use rounds even bigger than a rifles (.30 caliber versus .50 caliber, plus a higher velocity).

The M2 50 caliber Browning was designed as an anti-tank weapon.

See here for pictures of the 50 cal round relative to 30-06:

I think it is time to make such a series out of the perspective of a German unit on the eastern front!

The Germans made several. One considered particularly good is "Stalingrad" made in 1993.

Gah, whilst they're impressive series my beef with Band of Brothers at the least was that it portrayed all the men as saints who were as celibate as monks, spend five minutes with a bunch of guys all together by themselves and you know what I mean...

Also the American-centrism... what about the Red Army, they're the guys that won it! Or the Brits even.

It strikes me this is going to be another set of American flag waving... apologies to Americans but there were plenty more people than you guys in the war and Hollywood with such marketing clout and worldwide influence should be more accountable to making a realistic and balanced view rather than just this idea that the Americans did everything worth telling in the war...

Not saints. One of the stories was how one officer probably killed several German POW's.

And of course the Russians were left out. So were pretty much any other soldier who wasn't in Easy company or 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Regiment (Capt. Winters' command when he was made the battalion commander of Easy's battalion).

Sigh, again this discussion.

Someone already said it and stated perfectly.

To "fix" teamgames, specially 3v3+, we need to adjust resource gaining (specially Opel + Caches) so that the game becomes less "spammy". But that can be the whole reason someone plays those modes. So in order to balance it, you have to take out one of the reasons someone may have to play it.

If it benefits one side over the other to spam, then YES, it should be fixed if 3v3 and 4v4 are popular modes of play.

You WANT the game to be fair in the popular modes if only to make sure the most people play it. More players equals more $ for Relic. More $ for Relic is good for the franchise and the players in general.

vCOH solved this for the most part on some of the most popular maps. High resource points were absent as were medium fuel points. This made teching and spamming more difficult and team work, map knowledge and map control more important. If the game lasted long enough that was very friendly to Wehr. If it lasted longer than that it could actually again tilt towards Allies as the Allied units vetted. (For this it is important that earned vet is, at the highest levels, superior to bought vet).

Red Ball and Montargis were the most competitive maps because you had to outplay the other team. And control of a predominance of fuel or munitions could change during the game several times.

And over time lots of things that were "cheesy" in early patches were changed. It was once possible to get unlimited armor replacement from Allied War Machine. That was nerfed down to 2 replacements.
