The game is for sure lacking many things compared to vcoh, from the resource system to the early game engagements, I can say that the game needs some core changes which me and some other coh1 "pros"/coh2.org staff have been trying to push relic to do with no response yet.
I agree with ami, obviously having more 240 MP doesn't affect the fuel directly but you can cap faster and have the 4th unit out sooner which means your teching starts early too.
Hey, since Ami rarely responds to my steam messages I will post this here to see the opinions on this.
In order to make SNF a better experience I though it would be a good idea to add a "Play breakdown" section.
This would be a part of SNF after each game done by one or two extra casters in which the plays that changed the course of the game would be analyzed, this would probably require the extra casters to see the game before hand to mark the important ones.
By doing this it would also give time for the main casters to refresh for the game while having no stop time on the stream, meaning less viewers leaving in between games.
This is done in LoL torneys so I though it would be a nice addition in the COH scene.
