Hey there,
right now im trying to get my head around modding coh2 for the first time. I tried to create a Mod for the Ingame Ui, since all files are accessible I figured modifying and repacking them and after that replacing the respective archive (f.e. UIHigh) would be enough. But it wasnt, the game just bugsplatted. I tried to build the mod as Propertyblabla and something else, neither worked.
Do you think its possible to create the archive in a way that will make this stuff work? I guess the UI uses a slightly different format of the archives or validates them somehow.

This roadmap looks great, unfortunately I wasnt able to catch the stream live

Did they say anything to the "Balance-Focused Support" thingie in the roadmap, like if they want to do regular updates or is everything more specific NDA'd?

Hey, great to see that youre doing those feedback things now

On Elite Rifles: I dont think its that big of an issue if you remove the possible outcomes in which the rifle is instantly vet 2 or very near to it. Vet 1 Rifles are pretty much alright in the first engagement and really nice as a fallback if you loose many units later. If you pair this with a slight fuel cost (5-10) and the "gain Vet faster" Idea it would be nice. Another Option I can think of is to put them at 360-400 MP but giving them a random Weapon upon spawn. But this would probably break early engagements horribly (though high cost would mean the enemy has more squads).

On Weapon Teams: If you take two men from the soviet weapon squads performance should be buffed immensly (should be obvious why...). But I'd rather see them have their price increased (the Maxim that is, I think all other are fair). Price increase would lead to Maxims being less spammable and it might add nice gameplay, due to both players having to somewhat play around/with (interact with) them, whereas now you just put some maxims somewhere and go drink a tea [slightly exagerrated]).

On Long Range Combat: I think nerfing LMG's long range dps is not an optimal solution since it inevitably will lead to close/mid Range Weapons being somewhat OP (they can close the gap easily --> dead long ranger). I think it would be nice if the long range weapon could still be the way theyre now, but the squad will be slowed while moving with them. Vice versa it would be nice if we could increase the damage dealt while on the move by Close range weapons. If both suggested thing get put in, it would lead to (atleast I think so) the player with lmgs needing to play cautious (getting surprised --> retreat) while close range squads would have a realistic chance since they'd do some damage while closing in on the target.

TLDR: My suggestions:
Elite Rifles -- Either gain vet faster and not starting vet 2 with fuel cost or hefty price increase and starting with a random weapon.
Wepon Teams -- Make them more expensive.
Long Range -- LMG's come with movement slow while close range weapons gain increased damage on the move.

Haha, great read!

And now, you f*cking Übermensch, go do a real Guide on Etiquette in CoH!
.
And on the matter of luck and so on, there's never a need to tell it your enemy. Just bite your desk or whatever but there's never a need to hurt another mans feelings by writing him some shit. f*cking lucker might not be as cruel, but what comes after usually is and I've never seen somebody stop after he first got enraged. Just keep it to yourself, I'll try to do so, too

Always enjoy watching your stuff. Would also like to see another "state of the game", now that WFA is out.

Another request that i've been missing from CoH2 is some sort of podcast with characters from the coh2 community discussing the current meta. I'd listen the shit out of that : )

Keep up the good work!

Yeah! Ami or Dane hosting a State of the Company Podcast. It couldnt get much more awesome!
