Should start community poll see how many people agree; Should there just be one big patch instead of like 5 small ones?

They could legitimately do this I reckon if they started communicating to the community (videos, tutorials etc) about the intended or altered game mechanics that everyone can familiarize themselves with. This could effectively be the start of a second phase in the games development. And future balance patches could tweak from there onwards...

Their way of communicating makes me sad sometimes, and happy other times. They have yet to figure out that talking with a straight face instead of hiding behind the mask of NDA NDA NDA and "We can't reveal this obvious change" makes me want to say "Relic pls" every time. If they were more upfront about the whole ordeal beforehand and more willing to engage in constructive community talks then I would gladly take their communication more seriously.

But instead most times we either get: OR OVER-HYPE that ends with us doing this or this

So.........can it be used in multiplayer? That's the important question.

For the people hinting at the "well-known community leaders" being "too rioty", for 5 months I have waited for a mega-patch to fix most of the staleness/bs in this game. After waiting 5 months, only getting 1/5 of what I wanted makes me want to uninstall coh2 and write a long letter to Relic's HR department explaining how much I dislike their slow-ish work ethic for this game. But because I love CoH2 and only want the best for it, I have since release never entirely lost hope. This is why I am making it a note that I find this patch(while a decent patch) unacceptable due to the fact that Relic had 5 Months, Alpha testers, and tons of field runs for changes in such a time period that their blind-sided excuse of "we want to make the transition more of an ease by breaking the mega-patch into 5 different patches in another 6 month time period" makes me want to throw my PC out the window and storm Relic's office in Vancouver demanding I have a personal audience with Quin Duffy asking him why he wants to delay everything in such a inept manner.


Btw: We've had mega-patches before, it's ridiculous that we can't have them now to make the game great! Most of the community also knew the awesome leaked changes Relic were supposed to implement this patch, that they decided not to.

You can lay some mines around you HQ!

Sweepers in an m3. RIP Mines.
Dbl sweepers+horde of 85s+horde of guards=Profit.

Agreed.

Paks chew through T34/85s, Riegel AT mines are also very nice to have against T34/85 spam too. The only place T34/85s get out of hand are in 3v3s and 4v4s where you can suddenly find yourself being attacked by 6-8 premium medium tanks without a moments notice.

Have you ever played top tier 1v1 and 2v2? In my experience, especially in 2v2, usually we end up with 4-6 85s per opponent. Now dbl that and expect 8-12(considering unit preservation) 85s rushing you with only 4 paks/couple stugs/maybe a tiger. Now watch mark target insta-wreck your tigers and stugs. Then watch as the horde of guards/85s wipe all your at-guns. With a lucky 120mm shell as well. You're gonna be in for one hell of a patch imo. Cpt. Molo will be leading the charge.


Everyone's reaction to watching 85s stream roll into their HQ every game they play:
