I haven't come across this myself, but I've heard plenty of people who've experienced it. Something like that is really bad form, and it definitely shouldn't still be in the game!
Let's all keep screaming, hollering and wailing about it, and maybe we'll see it get a fix
I'm of the notion that this patch was a good move. It isn't perfect, and it's perhaps revealed a few holes that I'm not entirely aware of, but, it's getting there.
I just wish it would get there faster!
Certainly, things such as well-played Scout Cars and Flamer Halftracks can be a tremendous bother to deal with, and maybe it's true that they're -too- effective, maybe not. It seems that mileage will vary in certain regards.
My disappointment has been that despite a buff to point-blank accuracy, there are still far too many times when squads are just stood at spitting distance, and still missing a good portion of their shots. I sort of want point-blank maneuvers to spell a very quick-lived engagement. Could also help with the issue of MG teams, both Maxim and 42s from being a little durable when flanked - though perhaps that's a topic for another discussion. I'm happy with the patch!
Been playing a fair few games today, and I'm yet to feel anything negative has come about because of the pop-cap. I'm almost inclined to say that I think it's a good thing
Unfortunately I don't know enough about the game, and much less about high-end end-game play, so my opinion on the adjustment isn't likely to be very accurate
