No more red build indicators?

When placing structures, you can no longer see the potential structure if it cannot be built. It used to be that you could still see the structure, just that the build outline was red. When was this changed? And was it intentional?

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

afaik, this 'feature' came with the 64 bit version. and since it was pointed out as a bug in the respective beta feedback thread (maybe even fixed? can't remember) and still introduced in the final version, along with a couple of other bugs that had already been fixed during the beta, i guess this is not intentional. still a minor issue i'd say, though i'd welcome to see the red outline being brought back if possible.

It would seem that CoH2 is reaching Team Fortress 2 levels of spaghetti code.

The strange / funny part is that sometimes the red outline is still there (don't know when exactly but I know that it is still there since I sometimes thought "huh odd ... I thought it was gone completely" when building stuff) and not having the outlines makes building like 100x times more frustrating

Edit: Sandbags and barbed wire still have the red outline for instance ... but only when they are placed in a chain. S-Mines also have the red outline (other mines do not have it). I guess it is a conscious decision then ... but a very bad one imo

I've talked with mods enough times, I know when I'm going overboard, I usually limit myself, but there is only so much tolerance I have for entitled, ignorant fucks like you

The idea that the Jackson needed ANY nerfing is so laughable. It only serves ONE task, how dare it be good at that. If it were a good against infantry like the Panther, King Tiger, Panzer IV, Jagtiger, Elefant, I could see how it might be a problem and need a nerf but it's not

I don't play this version of EZ mode very often because it's so boringly simple. But it is funny to see the Axis circle jerk with people complaining that the one faction with every crutch in the book is some how underpowered lol.
