A lot of people are saying use smoke. The issue is that it is usually combined with a free recon plane from the command vehicle also in that commander.

Free recon plane is a ridiculous concept in an RTS. And it lasts very long too. Anyone who watched Hans' stream when he was up against brits a while ago, the recon plane was there like 24/7. Permarecon

Another annoying thing is that there are actually 2 different HQ building locations in 1v1 automatch since the maps are often hybrid 1v1 and 2v2 maps. If you're unlucky and get the farther location, it takes you more time to get back to the action after a retreat.

This is just an indicator of poor/nonexistent playtesting of the patches

Shitty click bait title that has nothing to do with the patch

It's a click bait title because I hope some developer would see it. And for the record, I've been on these forums from the start

The toxicity levels are significantly higher than they were a year ago - is this a reflection of the game's state or something else? Sorry for the initial title though, made it out of desperation

I'd think it has to do with the game's optimization, which is most likely close to nonexistent. Back in 2013-2014 they did a performance optimization patch but after WFA the performance has gone down a fair bit pretty much negating the optimization patch.

This game doesn't run well even on high end machines, at least not as well as it should from what I've heard of. For example, with my setup (not necessarily a high end one but proves the point):

i5 3570k OCed to 4,4 GHz
GTX 680 2GB of VRAM (OCed, core +145 MHz, memory +415 MHz)
8 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz

BF4 @ Ultra settings using 1080p resolution (but AA toned down to 2x and AA post @ medium) mostly at 60-100 FPS - nowadays BF4 is optimized pretty well I believe.

Anno 2205 at 1080p (high settings with AA off, still an being an unoptimized game but 3 years newer than CoH 2) at 40-60 FPS. However suffers from a memory leak and the performance goes down after 1-3 hours to an unplayable level.

I don't remember the exact CPU or GPU usage numbers of CoH 2 but I believe it doesn't use more than ~1/4 of my RAM. The game starts very smooth (without Vsync 80-100 FPS) but over time the performance drops drastically and in long games where the terrain is full of craters and stuff the FPS can drop as low as 20-40 even when there's no action at all. And CoH 2 doesn't even raise my CPU or GPU temps above 60 so it's not even near full load for either one. Sounds like a bad optimization and / or a memory leak to me. I don't expect my rig to run it at 60-100 FPS all the time but the performance is way worse than it should be.

Would be interesting to hear other players' rigs and performances for comparison
