I can't say about current gameplay because I haven't played CoH2 for a while, but flanking in CoH2 was just a bad joke ...

The problem with COH2 is that it was "Premier" in price (remember that $100 you kissed goodbye on the CE pre-order?) but not "Premier" in content....Hence why you can find it for less than $5.

In my opinion any change to the heavy call-ins needs to include something to make the window of opportunity for those who choose to tech a little bit more rewarding. As it stands, teching to T3 gives you about 2-3 minutes to make an impact with the fuel that you have spent to get armor out earlier. This is simply not enough when a heavy will be available shortly after.

Not only are call ins much more effective, but the fuel saved from teching makes them extremely cost effective as well. The player that capitalizes on an early fuel advantage should be rewarded with a significant window to punish his opponent. I feel like at the moment its much to cost effective to stall your opponent with T1 + T2 play into heavy tanks. We need an option to punish this sort of play style, because as it stands it is extremely hard to end the game by teching and getting out the first vehicle. Your opponent simply stalls until his much, much more effective heavy tank rolls out, in the mean time saving enough fuel for a 2nd to either seal the deal, or replace the first.

I think that simply pushing back the CP requirement could work quite well. This would allow players who want to save the fuel for call ins to do so, while putting themselves at a significant disadvantage in the mid game if their opponent decides to tech. IMO 20 minutes is too early to call in a tank as effective as the Tiger or dual T34 85s. They seem fit for around the ~27 minute mark, which is what I would consider late game.

Another option, as has been mentioned before, is to require some level to tech before you can call in the heavies.

What do you guys think about pushing back the CP requirement without making teching a requirement for call ins?

If they let you come closer to them even with an ISU, something is going wrong with their skill level, dude
