Is the 5 year plan still active?

The entire official website is getting white page :/

Ok I have 2 Ideas for fixing CAS. One Easy one Hard.

Easy idea: just change out the ammo conversion with the ammo drop from the other commander. This way they have to us some manpower(Ost main weakness), and have to have an ammo point for the full effect. Again this dose no not make the commander unviable, but dose punish the player for spamming the ability, and give the other play an opening.

Hard Idea: this idea i came up with as a way to make AA viable. What you need to do is give AA platforms (M3/sovs, Ostwin/Ost, AA-halftrack for both OKW/USF) a set up ability like the american AA-halftrack, but make it so enemy cant call in airstrikes in that area(good size), while the aa gun is set up. Now i am not talking recon runs, the aa can just shoot at them as normally and recon is not something that should be gotten rid of. Sutcka dive bombs, all staffs, p-47s, and any other airstrike on the other hand should no be sent in. This would achieve 3 things.

1. allows all air strikes to be powerful call ins. i mean if this michanice was implemented i don't see any reason for all air strikes to as good as the old il-2. I would say it would add depth to the game with each side trying to get the other aa down so they could call in the Air Cav.

2. would give all implacement like pak-43, and artillery a place in the meta for at least 2v2+. With the AA covering them, they wouldn't have to free stuka dive bombs. (which is one of the main reason for arty not being viable)

3 it would give aa unit an important role in the game. And, like i said it would had a whole new layer of depth to the game.

Quick & Easy Fixes:
- Stuka diving bomb should be dropped by an airplane
- Dedicated AA platforms like the USSR or USF AA halftracks should be able to shoot down airplanes instantaneously (if two are fielded cuz it might get overpowered)

Wow people are actually rejecting this? And the people who are rejecting this idea don't even play the game much, let alone competitively! I'm not going to mention any names...

I am at a loss of words. How on Earth could you reject such an epic idea? There is a reason why League of Legends, DoTa, and Counter Strike Global Offensive (Starcraft too) are the most popular games in the world. It's because their ranking and competitive play provides incentive for players to continue playing because they have something to achieve (creates replayability). Of course these games provide other incentives as well in addition to this, but the ELO system is the cornerstone to their success.

I am 100% with Hans and am surprised just as much as him. And I don't understand what's the complaint that casual gamers are going to quit or something? There's a thing called custom lobbies? Don't add ELO ranks to custom lobbies and leave it to automatch. Why do casual gamers need to interfere with competitive games, and vice versa?

All of you know for a fact the majority of the COH2.ORG community is pro-competitive. There's a misconception that the competitive community is small. No, my entire friends list is competitive COH 2 players and I have 300 of them. I verse competitive gamers all the time. Most of the 1v1 community are competitive gamers. If you check the AT leaderboards for ANY playlist, you will see the competitive community. If you check the dudes that applied to the League of Heroes tourney, you will see the competitive community.

Take a look: http://www.coh2.org/ladders/index/1/7/0 (That's 200 competitive teams. And there's more where that came from)

That being said, competitive gamers will be the ones dropping prematurely even more than casual gamers. This is why you do something like CS:GO and don't show the ranks in the beginning of the game.

I actually think COH 2 needs this to avoid death in a year or two.

Wish I recorded it for my YouTube channel NorthWeapon COH but I didn't :C
