Thanks, BabaRoga!!!

And i asume this is also the big difference for the covering system that everybody is talking about. You can not be sure that the unit in the green cover will win the fight, right?
Exept that, the coversystem is still the same, or am i wrong?

I think what you mean is auto cover units seek.

For example, quite a few times I would throw grenade on units in the cover and my opponent would move out, but some of my models from the same unit that trows grenade would seek auto cover exactly where I just threw grenade.

Or they would walk over to the cover when I don't want to be there because its covered by MG or there is mortar landing shells there. etc

Also not all units stay in cover like they did in COH, so you might have 1 model in green cover and 4 standing on the road.

Both are equally annoying and useless in my opinion

I wouldn't call it hubris. But yes, people who make business decisions often don't understand their consumer at all.

Funnily enough, business meetings resemble a lot of threads you can find on this forum. People arguing, pushing their ideas and dismissing other suggestions. A lot of opinions fly around and it gets quite heated.

In the end decision is made by a judge, who doesn't necessary understand what other people are talking in the grand context of things and they definitely don't come to forums like these to see what their customers are saying.

See Noun for example, can communicate what the community is saying. But he doesn't have authority to actually make decisions. Whether his recomendation will be dismissed or taken in consideration really depends if the decision maker truly grasps importance of what he or she is hearing.

So yes, Business decisions often are crystal clear to you but they are very hard to grasp for someone who doesn't really play the game nor can really relate to you and your needs and wants.
Hubris, its bit harsh.

are we having a language barrier issue or something? relic is not forcing you to do anything. if you dont agree with what theyre doing, you are welcome to not play their game and spend your time in other ways. communist dictatorships are not like that.

youll also notice this thread is full of "toxicity" and negative opinions. none of which have been censored in any way. noun has been nice and very willing to discuss and answer many questions despite peoples negative tone. again, nothing like a communist dictatorship.

so stop trying to use sensational terms. youre as bad as the people calling relic a bunch of nazis.

Did you read my post?

Entire post was about Relic doing what they want and not giving their customers what they want.

You ask me do I realize that its Relics game and they can do what they want with it, despite me paying $60 for it.

Of course I realize it, since I wrote entire post about it.

You argue my comparison of Relic's insistance on doing things their way as with communist regime where they also did what they want, despite different wishes of their disgruntled customers/population.
You laughable dismiss this comparison with examples of things they do not do as they did in communist regime.

So yes, I think we do have language barrier. (or I hope we do, anyway)

For first part read my post again and second Metaphor is important part of most languages on Earth, as far as I am aware.
Not being able to understand one will get person in situation where they are stating the obvious and arguing about unrelated points.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object

The point of metaphor is not the difference or similarity of Relic and communist regime on all aspects, but what is the end result:
Toxicity, revolt and mistrust of community. The exact thing that Relic/Noun is complaining about.

Anyway I don't want to give English lessons or argue about things that went of topic any further.

Huge +1 Tommy. Huge -1 Noun

3. I agree we need to look for a way for players who want to play other game modes. It's something we're looking at but haven't found a solution to yet.

Sorry to hear it's too late for you guys. I understand.

You summed it up in 2 sentences perfectly Noun. The problems with COH2 game, casting, streaming, community toxicity, player numbers, everything pretty much.

COH2 is failing on fundamental business principles. ABC's of every product/service business enterprise:

- Cater product to what customer wants and they will buy/use it. We (the customer) have told you what we want. You do not need to look for solutions. In this example you already have solution from COH1 (Custom game Lobby). Not perfect but infinitely better than your 'solution'. Just make it happen if technically possible.

- Do not be in-love with your product. If customer does not like the product IT IS YOUR FAULT, not customers. One and only solution is and always will be: change your product, not futile attempt to 'educate customer' or blame customer for not liking the product

- Companies exists to fulfill wishes of customers, if they do not they will cease to exist.

You/Relic know what we want, give us what we want.

My personal opinion now: Relic is treating its customers like some Communist era dictatorship regime. Regime that tries to force people to conform to delusional beliefs and opinions of ruling class. Ruling class that hears peoples complains, but instead of embracing them, instead looks for ways to suppress them and mute their voice.

Bottom line is: Who ever is making decisions at Relic would be instantly dismissed from his position at my company. I mean, that is stuff one teaches work experience students as ABC's of successful management practices.
No excuse what so ever

agree and disagree.

If you are talking about the way call-in abilities affect gameplay, then I agree.
German strafe for example, doesn't do as much physical damage to units but in strategic sense it does enormous damage. Locking down huge area for long duration to any infantry at a click of a button.

If you are complaining about general way in which game has been designed to diminish importance of skill and tactical use of abilities in favor of no defense vs noob click of a button, then I am with you.

If you are just German fanboying, then I disagree with nerfing ONLY IL2
