Its quite funny how people here get sooooooooo excited over the most meaningless changes.

The only noticeable benefit from patch for 1v1 is the removable of some terrible maps, although plenty remain.

All other changes just make maps different, not better.

And since you are a big fan from whiteflash and / or crossroad:

Very first sentence : "As i stated earlier, start position 2 is at a disadvantage due to confined space, shot blockers and elevation. This primarily a bigger issue for ost than other factions."

I know for many people its hard to adapt on a map. They always want to play 1 single tactic on every map. Why they should use their brain and use different gamestyle on different maps LUL.

It is boring for automatch just to play on 1 single mapstyle

Please stop assuming my problem is that I refuse to adapt, you have no idea if I play the same or if I mix it up every single game.

There are numerous issues with Westwall and they become more apparent with every game. Yes I have checked out the updated version and the improvements are welcome but the dragons teeth and elevation are too inconsistent and difficult to recognize(quality issue). The reason this is a problem is because in the heat of battle the player may not notice that his tank is about to get into trouble on tank traps. It may have been better if the teeth ran direction wise diagonally from the corners opposite the bases, then tanks could back up in a straight line instead of turning. The elevation is also inconsistant with some shots still hitting terrain and objects. I also notice pak guns will phase through the smaller tank traps but not the larger ones, again this at a glance will be misleading. There are other issues relating to the cutoffs and the layout in that area that are also still problematic. The centre also too open making flanking mgs too easy and at the same time flanking snipers almost imposibble. There also seems to be to much unnecessary small clutter on the dragons teeth. All of this could be improved with input from more experience mapmakers.

The other thing I find interesting is you advocate different playstyles yet this is a map that is more likely to be played the same way because the player cannot realisticlly contest either fuel so cap order will almost always be the same. Now compare that to a map like crossroads for instance where you can contest either fuel and change playstyle accordingly.

My Final point is good map design will give the player the option to change playstyle if he wishes, where as a bad map forces the player to change. A subtle difference, but one that is more likely to come about from a more though process such as what Whiteflash is advocating.

I start shouting at the screen and get very frustrated

"Ah great I've built a Brummbar"

just an example of playing CoH 2, some units will literally stick to nearly everything and anything and will get stuck .

I know exactly what you mean. Almost everytime I build a brumbar I regret it because it almost always dies due to pathing. I just don't understand why it doesn't crush everything and just drive straight back since it is a giant fucking TANK FFS.

I had a similiar situation with a stug where it got stuck on a log on Khlodney Ferma winter and proceeded to do donuts. Its a log FFS, just crush it. I could jump over it on a bike.

Seriously, a tank can drive through a house in real life so why are they getting stuck on tiny objects.

A general higher cost for light vehicles would encourage sniper heavy play early on. This would only further amplify the trend of Soviets and Wehrmacht being the two dominant factions as they have the best snipers.

I would try increasing the fuel cost on light vehicles but reducing the manpower cost. This slows teching, and makes them harder to easily replace, but wouldn’t be a flat nerf.

Not all vehicles need to be adjusted. As to your point on snipers that really only applies to usf and moreso to team game. Personally I would increase sniper build time and increase their capping rate so that double sniper teams and sniper openings disappear
