i see what you mean, but one thing i thought about was this might allow comebacks to be a little easier. say you get your army wiped and lose most of the map. your mp income is going to skyrocket and your fuel will drop. with high fuel costs, you wont get a heavy tank out again until you take the map. now you can afford a heavy tank easier. not sure if thats what they intended, but just something i thought about.

well when your army get's wiped it is supposed to hurt. when i talked about risking a long tankless midgame for a good powerful and make a comeback in my second paragraph. i meant that i want a high risk high reward kind of scenario. not something that you call in and hope it will be a miracle weapon just because you lose your entire army. would it be better if you constantly fight for the fuel and harass other areas to get your super weapon and hopefully reverse the situation? try to adapt and fight for your resources, use the items that doesn't cost fuel. panzergrenadiers, AT gun soviet mines. if done right you can reverse the situation, it's a lot more action and fun to watch than a guy just sitting back and wait for 720 manpower.

As Pqumsieh stated, he believes that the decrease in fuel and increase in manpower for heavy tanks will make them more affordable in 1v1s. I highly disagree with this. I did not have much problems purchasing a Panther in 1v1 games or 2v2. The only times i had problems is when i did not have enough manpower, fuel was never the problem, now i don't even know if could even afford one if i use a lot of infantry.

I like the heavy infantry style of play, which drains a lot of manpower from me. Getting a panther should be one of those things that require the player to save a lot of fuel and risk going on a long tankless midgame to get the big prize, using anti tank infantry assets like the PAK gun and panzershrecks for a while until they get their heavy tanks for the big comeback instead of encouraging the player to skip t3 and go straight to Panthers.

In the games that Imperialdane had cast you can see that Panther and Tigers has already been used a lot in 1v1s and 2v2s with heavy infantry battles. This price change will not improve the 1v1 or 2v2 games, and at the same time it will worsen the bigger 3v3 and 4v4 games. You will see less infantry as players will often have to hold back on the infantry to get their big tanks out. it probably even encourage more vehicle style of plays or other units that doesn't cost manpower to reinforce.

I think one of the big reasons what made CoH so great is because of the infantry battles, and i don't want to feel punished for using them. So please, decrease the manpower cost and increase the fuel costs, if not 440 manpower and 165 fuel, change it too 520 manpower and 150 fuel.

Can you just clear this for me?

Are you saying that I can attack Piv that is supported by infantry by pressing oorah on bunch of conscripts, run up to Piv and AT nade it. Press retreat, without even losing entire squad, then move in with Su85 and at guns and finish it off?
And it is good tactic because conscripts are cheap, and losing few will not hurt you?
and that I can chase down scout car with conscripts by pressing oorah, chasing it down and sticking it with AT nade?

Either I am not understanding you buddy, or I absolutely don't see that as viable tactic against any decent opponent.

As I said, chances of actually being able to attack and waste Piv that is supported by PG's and not lose heaps of MP, possibly SU85 and at guns are slim, at best. By retreating conscripts, you left your SU85 and AT guns at mercy of PG's....
All you gonna do is drain your MP (even tho conscripts are cheap, can't just sacrifice them) and have yourself vet2 Piv to deal with.

Rifle Guards are designed to come in as call in for Soviet commanders, for that reason. Because they are more versatile and conscripts becoming semi-useless as heavier armor and upgraded infantry start hitting the field.

oh su85s are on the field? that makes things much more easier since the thing can kill a panzer IV within seconds, the panzer IV could not kill a su85 unless the panzer IV flanked it, but if it does the conscripts might be around to AT nade it leaving the panzer IV helpless. now lets look at another scenario, su85 attacks panzer IV, the su85 gets panzerfausted, the panzer IV flanks, the panzer IV also gets AT nade, both vehicles have engine damage, but the su85 has such good turning speed, and can turn away and reverse to kill the panzer IV. if panzergrenadiers happen to be around than you pretty much lost a tank for tank, but that also means he committed more into killing your unit.

panzer grenadiers can be good AT units, but their anti infantry capabilities will be reduced if they upgrade with panzershrecks + the soviets have lots of anti infantry units that can slaughter german units. AT guns, su76s, shock troops, guard nades, katyushas.

if the german player attacks with panzergrenadiers with panzershrecks first than the su85 can quickly get away since it has such a quick reverse speed. one panzershreck does 120 damage, one su85 has 640 hp, it takes 7 panzershreck hits to kill an su85. you have problems taking out a panzer IV? than the germans have a problem taking out an su85, but you don't want to think about that do you?

decrease the fuel income on points.

currently every strategic points give extra +3 fuel, and +4 munitions. every fuel point gives +7 fuel. if they decrease the income from these points to +2 fuel on strategic points and +6 or +5 fuel on fuel points the overall. this should decrease the speed of which players can tech. all tanks and vehicle fuel price must be reduced to 10 pct so it would not slow down tank production as much. it also makes getting light vehicles a little risky since fuel will start to matter more.

i remember seeing an article that says the game sold 400,000 copies and when i saw the picture of the leaderboards before the leaderboards were out, it says that 385,000 people are in the leaderboards.
