Is there an official statement from relic on why we can't set our own hotkeys?

If it's anything along the lines of "so everyone has the same features to work with" or something like that, then it's kinda counter intuitive since you can use AHK to write your own keys, even macros like;

capslock::
Send {G down}{G up}{Lmouse down}{Lmouse up}; auto throw a grenade by hitting G then left mouse.


Thus creating an even larger gap between highly dedicated/skilled players and casual players. It could even be argued that it's borderline cheating when using AHK(assuming this is relic's explanation to why we have fixed hotkeys).

I love this little tank, I'm finding it more and more to be an awesome asset once the heavier armor starts to roll out. The Blind/stun ability along with the rear shot engine damage is amazing and this little thing can easily be the demise of an over extended tiger or any armor for that matter. It's hilarious in 2v2's when german rush armor only to be owned by your 1 stuart, captain & AT gun, then you see the next armor come out and they back off when your stuart moves up like their facing a tiger or something.

however, this thing loves to target infantry over tanks, now i get it's a light tank and it shouldn't be going toe to toe with a panther or tiger but i ask; Please make the stuart prioritize tanks when it's stun/blind ability is active and to hold it's fire against infantry till the 3 shots are done. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if the ability was free but since it's 45munitions, i don't want it wasting shots on infantry. If it loses sight for even a fraction of a second it will re-target infantry and you have to right click back on the armor for it to focus again, and with it being a light tank and all, you are constantly moving in and out of cover. This along with the high turret traverse and reload speed make it usually spend at least 1 shot on infantry.

Oh and also please fix the Jackson prioritization to.

Having no control over what you win is not a problem if you can buy and trade instead.

Since we're just wishing for stuff I'd opt for that instead because trading offers the most control over what you ultimately get. That, and duplicates would retain their value.

The main issue is the time it takes to develop test and eliminate a trade system, or any other system. A trade system is needed for the duplicates, but to ease this frustration for now i think this would be a quick solution.

The captain doesn't suck, keep it close to your stuart and the combo will destroy a puma/flaktrack without it even firing a shot or moving. He's also amazing when you need a quick sherman, retreat him and use the E ability to call in armor in like 15 seconds.

They're AI capability isn't the best but those grease guns can do damage if you position close to corners you think the enemy will come around.

Airborne is also amazing with T3 strat, drop in a .50 after your ambulance and before captain(you shouldn't be expecting armor if you have good troop preservation) and use the .50 to lock down a fuel with maybe a supporting riflemen or RE/fighting emplacement(grenade launchers), use the remainder of your squads to start harassing.

This will force the OKW to have to get a light vehicle if they want to push your .50 off the fuel point, which going T3 is exactly what you want. Keep your captain/stuart combo between your locked down fuel and middle point, once the armor comes blitz the stuart with the captain right behind, dead german armor.

If you are confident that you just killed the only armor on the field, send your stuart for fuel point scouting, find them and leave them alone, just kinda go for a joy ride to mess up their roaming squads. From their you should have MP and the unlock for paratroops which with 1919's decimate all OKW except for the ubersoldate. drop them on any fuel points you saw and demo charge it, retreat and grab 1919's on the way back to the front. Support these with riflemen/smoke nades and they can take out any bunkered down points with ease.

from their you should be owning. Properly micro'ed captain/stuart combo can save you the MP cost of the 57mm till later when you are expecting a panther. I'd only go 57mm if he has spent no fuel and you need that vet'ed AT gun. But even a stuart/captain/riflemen combo can mess up a panther badly. Same tactic as a light armor but use the riflemen smoke for your stuart's retreat as your stuart is stun/blinding then follow up with an AT nade. You probably won't kill it but it will be out of action for a few minutes, hopefully long enough for a Jackson to come out.

There is a rather high munitions price tag on the strategy you suggested there. If I could pull that off it would be great but if I fail then I'm down a crap ton of munitions.

I think the main problem with this map is the river in the middle. Its hard for Allies to chase retreating enemy armour because they will slow down to cross the river, allowing ample time for Axis tanks to retreat to safety.

As an Allies player, I will always have that map vetoed when playing team games. Its simply too Axis favoured.

The biggest thing needed is the rocket strafe, everything else is situational, riflemen and sherman smoke is free, not sure about m8 or pack howitzer.
