They are, but there are plenty games like this. What makes coh series fun and unique is exactly how diverse it is. Btw you can play mirrors in coh2 if you like, go ahead and play instead of ruining possibility of having fun with the game to others.
Problem is, that according to you, it's fun that 1 side can be shooted down, while the 2 cannot.
That's fun, asymetrical design in your opinion.
Damn guys, what is with this copy-paste disease that spread around the forums? Don't you have a single bit of creativity? Do you want to play mirrors in coh2? Somebeody should tell relic that copy pasting is not an option in any way as they also seem to be infested with that virus recently...
Copy-pasted RTS, just with small tweaks, are usually best balanced.
Magpie842 made some good points in his video about the proposed changes, namely:
- Removing suppression from the Kubel and the Lieg leaves OKW with no native suppression ability which is a bad thing.
- Having the Luchs in T3 is bad because it is very powerful and can appear too early
- Having the P4, JP4 and Panther all in T4 is a mistake because it renders at least one of them immediately useless. Why would anyone get the JP4 when for a bit more cost then could get the Panther?
USF have to live without suppression all the time (when was the last time you saw HMG?)
With 0F at start, Luchs comes the same time as Stuart, which is fine. Maybe just reduce RoF or something like that so it's not that deadly.
JP4, P4 and P5 is perfect combination for 1 tier. JP4 - pure 60range AT, P5 - it does not have the range nor rof like JP4, it does not have AI od P4, but it's somewhere between bein able to engage tanks and infantry at some point, P4 - Great AI unit with not bad AT. You need pure AT? JP4. You need something agasint infantry? P4. You are not sure what you want? P5.
The plane drops are intended so there is counter play, I.E. opponent can get AA and shoot them down.
And what's the conter play agasint luftwaffe drops?
Only one thing I would chnage is crew repair ability. I see no reason to have 2, ammo based, repairs ability. Replace it with something like armor detection or anything else fitting industry.
