There should be a reduction in resource income in the higher game modes to bring the pacing back to similar to the 1v1 modes.

The way Dawn of War 2 handled it was by reducing the amount of resources each point gave by the game mode. In 1v1 a requisition point was +15 and matured to +30, in 3v3 it was +5 and matured to +10 in 3v3. Power income was similarly divided by the number of players. (Requisition was basically manpower, the reason you got way less in team games was because you didn't have to build as many power generators)

I'm baffled that this system isn't in the game, to be honest. Especially since they go out of their way to ensure that there's always 8/10 strat points, 2 muni and 2 fuel points on almost every map. Capping the map faster due to more players also increases early game income significantly.

Caches are also a less risky investment due to the larger map size. (Although I'd imagine that a player who made a point of hunting cache's would be a huge boon to their team.)

I always kind of considered the entire purpose of 3v3/4v4 to let people live out their fantasies of large tank battles though. 2v2 I don't really notice much of a difference outside of the natural benefits of larger maps.

Seems like a typical Reric oversight.

Soviets theme was only AI units, Ostheers theme was only AT units, that was changed ages ago. Themes only last until the developers change them because they aren't working.

Sov was all about cheap but large numbers of more mobile units. They couldn't fortify an area very well but were great at attacking quickly and swiftly. This is why their vehicles often can capture territory, because it allows them to retake mass amounts of territory. They had a flexible tech tree so they could surprise their opponent or react quickly. They also had a lot of unit call ins to further diversify their arsenal depending on the scenario.

Ostheer was slower and less mobile, but more powerful when in a fortified position. This is why they had stuff like hull down and better support weapons and could build all sorts of bunkers and mines. They have more rigid teching but much more powerful units. Most of their doctrines were focused on support abilities rather than unit call ins.

Both were also designed for a much faster pace game before the vCoH clowns put a stop to that. VP bleed used to be a tick every 3 seconds (slower than dawn of war 2, faster than CoH1), faster teching and higher lethality. (With coldtech existing to slow the game down a notch.) This is also why Coh1 style sandbags and tanktraps didn't exist and why buildings could be killed quite quickly.

Their themes are mostly intact, although the soviets tech tree was kicked in the balls and ostheer got unit call ins like assault grens and the puma that fuck with the intended game pacing. All the changes to the game itself by the vCoh crowd on the other hand have really taken away from the game. (I enjoyed it most at release, I just come back for the new factions until I get bored.)

I get the commander upgrade, I don't know am I just unlucky? Have I just had a bad streak?

It's like when you take your car to an auto repair shop and they say "Nah it's fine" lol.

I mean it doesn't hit every shot, but it hits often enough to kill stuff for me. It's a pretty speedy death machine.

I miss buildable sturmtiger.

Relic homogenizing factions because the community sucks has been the worst part of the game. The initial designs for all the factions were their best designs, and the more they get meddled with post-release the more generic they get.

That's largely why I've mainly been playing Brits lately. Gotta enjoy them before they get hit with the homo-stick.
