They've already said regarding the leaderboards, it's abit of a collaboration with Valve. Same deal with the editors we're planning on getting eventually.

I'd rather want the stuff we get to be good, rather than half-baked rushed produdcts that fails to deliever to your consumers.

I've seen people nagging on wanting some more "VCOH" styled commanders, and here they are. You expected them to be free? Delusions of grandeur much. You reap what you sow.

On a good note, they said future-free commanders would have originality as well. And besides that, even existing commanders are extremely versatile and useful. There's a clear indication on the pros/cons between the commanders they've shown.

Its more about the principal of the matter

Principal? DLC is a common business model. Is it PAY 2 WIN? Who knows, so far the commanders are actually fairly well balanced out. Heck, give it a month or so until it settles in to make some verdict before jumping on the bandwagon of "Lolzpay2winz".

Inb4 Pay to lose commanders LOLOLOLOL ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On a more serious note, they did say future "FREE + DLC" commanders would be more "original" and unique, as requested by the community.

Things to probably consider, is Assault Grenadiers are pretty much a CQC unit, so I'd recon that Penals would be an optimal unit to combat them. (Don't know until you've tried).
Besides that, the lack of soft-counter to vehicles (since they have no faust) does open up alot more T1 optional play either way. Other doctrines definately seem to have alot work around methods with existing commanders, so I don't see what the fuzz is about.

If you don't like the change, you've got nobody else to blame but yourself if you were one to propose this.

Me? I'm excited but sceptical of course. Quite a big step and manning up on Relic ends, I think they ought to have some credit for it. Just crossing my fingers for a nice execution of the whole concept and decisions they made.

And, like wat- max 10$ for all the commanders (even less with a bundle?) plz , what r u homeless? ಠ_ಠ

Anyone noticed that the Shocks were 0 CPs? I wonder if there are balance changes to go along with all of that.

They said it was a typo, and it is NOT being changed.

Halftrack to continously lay pressure and reinforce your losses.

Scout Car , because well - scout cars, they're really good against snipers in general.

Or vet 1 german sniper, the ability itself will either kill the entire squad completely, or it will partially wound the other sniper, you deal 90 manpower damage - or he'll just sit there, wait patiently and die from the second shot, due to the stun effect.

Mortars are .... well, "alright" - they've gotta be more careful, but a good sniper isn't going to just wander into a zone freely when it's getting bombarded. It's more or less for "zoning" the sniper if anything. Not neccasarily kill it

More winter maps, it's WAY MORE tactical and you can really tell the difference between people who can't utilize the blizzards to the full advantage.

Master the blizzard, master the battlefield. It's like a completely new layer of strategy, and the ice / deep snow really adds more layers.

Summer just dumbs everything down, so I'm not completely a big fan of it. Winter maps are the bomb, just look at how well done winter maps can be done (Rzhev Winter) is a prime example of winter maps done great.

Semois (Winter) is also another good map, it just makes more sense given the general gameplay of CoH2, summer - not so much.
