the first time i used the barrage on the mortar, i thought i had a RG-6 grenade launcher...

I really don't mind the new spawning changes. That extra responsiveness at the beginning is so good, and the other teams have the same issue so it hasn't affected my 2v2 games today.

The mine changes also feel very right. I frequently got 2 model kills on full health squads and was happy with it. Not sure the suppression does anything though.

the problem is more apparent especially in maps where bases are separated (rails and numerous 3v3+ maps) or where bases are too big (hill331, steppes)

Too much partisanship here...

0. I saw someone using stats on coh2charts.com saying OKW has the lowest winrate - not true, (obviously looking at 1v1, 1-250), UKF has the lowest and only USF has 4-5% winrate above everybody else. So maybe the real problem is USF. Although it maybe just attributed to superman mortar they got.

1. To ones who say OKW healing cost Truck + Setup +upgrade... well, the Truck + Setup element was already there so the real cost is only 100mp 15fu. A semi-valid complaint would be that OKW has to pick a tier for the access to meds... which was the case since the beginning... so may be not.

2. This leads to people comparing free things and paid side techs each factions get to advance their own points. Well, some factions get more of one and less of the other but those two elements alone do not need to be absolutely balanced. again, coh2charts show almost identical winrates for all factions... and since this patch was the most played one before the release by many, even a tournament, so i think the ratio will not swing drastically in two weeks.

3. as comm_ash said, WC51 cannot suddenly become a problem. shreck was not available at T0 in the first place so it is dishonest to say that the jeep suddenly dominates OKW early game. almost same goes for M3 but M3 and SOV T1 are stronger.

4. Complaining Volks STGs is the weakest INF or too weak... Cons have been doing fine even with no upgrades and bare bone stats mostly due to sandbags, upgradable snare and oorah. Now, volks have two of them and instead of oorah, an upgrade that makes them good close range.

5. More munition options =/= muni starved... if i pick Pershing, am i suddenly fuel starved? Jackson and Sherman are still same price along with everything else.

------------------------------

if you want the game to improve, find bugs so relic can fix them with upcoming hotfix patch. and let the game settle at least a week.

Shouldn't that have been removed a while ago? Kholodny Ferma and Moscow outskirts still have deep snow parts.
Why?

is it around buildings? it was always that way since day 1 after relic removed deep snow. for some reason...

its annoying as hell.
