I honestly didn't believe I would say this a few months ago but the game is getting better, quite good actually. But there are still a few key features missing and I hope we will see a few of them before the year ends.
Here are a few ideas of mine/missing features;
*
Worldbuilder
*
Lobby
*
Show rankings/leaderboards/stats/ping/perf
*
I'm/I'm not ready button
*
Maps I want summer/winter/dark/rainy/windy maps etc. Major battles like Berlin, Breslau, Budapest, Kolberg, Königsberg, Poznan, Seelow, Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Warsaw etc are sadly missing at this point.
*
Focus on CO-OP in TOW (maybe a Stonewall CO-OP pack?)
*
Multiplayer/Matchmaking in TOW?
(Return/Improvments of CoH1 Blitzkrieg/Stonewall etc?)
*
Bulletins (+10% suppression german/soviet mg. -5% suppression for grenadiers/conscripts etc)
*
Unique Commanders (absolutely no more commanders with the same kind of abilities! They just look flat and boring)
Take a look at "tengen"s amazing proposal of unique, interesting and
most of all useful on a strategic level commanders ;
