Custom games aren't competitive unless you play tournaments/player of equal skill.
I'm talking automatch.

Because in competitive game you won't be able to choose your opponent.

Wait until Relic releases modding support. We'll get your 'realistic' RTS up and running. Hell, I'm working on a vCoH mod that's noting the ballistics of everything from the M1911A1 to the BL-10 152mm howitzer, armor thicknesses (in actual numbers, not the Blitzkrieg mod style "dis armor bounces everything!" stats), spalling, and so on, all in anal detail. The base game was never about uber realism, this was the case even in vCoH.

the difference is that one is unit based on real ww2 soldiers just having some in game mechanic ability and the other is an alien thingy that doesnt even exist.


why dont you ask relic so that when you are playing soviet, change the map names so maps like 'paris' is 'pariski' or 'ardenne' is 'ardenngrad' .just for you, even though you look over the fact that tanks don't massacre inf, il2 gun hits units and they only bleed?, lay mines in matter of seconds, units have infinite ammo, units dont get into melee combat when face to face, and so much more.

you look over all these but suddenly your brain can't wrap around another little historical inaccuracy.

I for one am very mad that Relic is going to break my illusion of a realistic World War II battle where people walk around in groups of six throwing molotov cocktails at mortar teams in blizzards and then retreat to base when they lose four people to pick up four brand new recruits who get upgraded with PPSh guns that teleport into their hands once the person in charge has secured enough munitions points by telling people to stand around flagpoles until the flag reaches the top.

Now that this realism is gone how can I pleasure myself to fantasies of being part of the Wehrmacht? I'm not even sure I can wear my Nazi uniform while automatching anymore without feeling like it's being defiled by Relic's inability to preserve their 100% historically accurate video game that I enjoy because it mirrors how actual World War II actually happened. This is a very sad day for CoH 2, which was once the most authentic World War II game in the world (well, it was actually tied for "most authentic" with Stalin vs. Martians, but still, you know what I mean...)
