.50 will be a bit more useful. I have see that in the Brit patch riflenade will be nerf and now the .50 has more survivability on retreat.

BARs modification on the move is weird imo. I would have make the stat modification on RM itself, cuz now RE are going to be far more interesting to flank with BAR.

RM vet upgrade is all good, 10% faster vet bulletin is going to be a must have.

Sherman buff is good, more survivability was a primary buff I would have add for sure to leave it as a flexible armor platform. With the coming of OKW super Pz4 as stock, Stug being up, sherman was a non-good option for USF.

So far, happy with the changes.

And for 3vs3 and 4vs4, better shermans and better rifles is going to help a lot to play because at the end those 2 units are the backbone of your armies.

Make Tommies non-sniperable while in green cover and increase shot missing value while in yellow cover. Just to reinforce the cover bonus system.

When will the stupid meme die? 1v1 and 2v2 have been the most competitive and fun game modes to play and watch since CoH1. There isn't a single RTS in the universe were people give a shit about 3v3 and 4v4.

1- Not since Dota and LoL 5vs5 players dominate the competitive scene. Mentality is changing and following those 2 games (and their other equivalent), people are most likely to be interested in teamgame and teamplay than only 1vs1. Same if teamplay means random team vs random team.

2- In the past, 1vs1 "appealing" was also most likely due to poor connectivity and computer capabilities. Running a 4vs4 SC or Coh1 wasn't something everybody could do 4-5 years ago. Today, apart from a bad configured 3dengine, nothing stop the majority of players playing 4vs4.

3- You are losing nothing, someone good in 1vs1 have greater chance to be good also in 4vs4. Micro and macro are dealt at another level. of course there are exception but those doesn't make the rule.

4- SC2 brought some good new concept with the base/resource sharing between team mates. Coh2 is still late and doesn't innovate enough in my opinion. Example, Attrition mod is really interesting but because it still an "unofficial" mod, it is not enough promoted and so cannot be improve and so bring more innovation and etc...

-5 Social aspect, team vs team bring more drama, more social, more interest to the community, so community has more interest and so can grow bigger.


Like I said, I think by the fact Relic isn't innovating in the game mode available and unable to improve the 4vs4 experience, they are restraining their own community in it potential expansion. People are bored of only watching competitive 1vs1 (same if it is always good to watch), they want to feel the other aspects of the game with large move, team play, simultaneous micro and macro etc...

I'm not convinced, the Axis have Panther tanks that can literally face-dive allied AT Walls, finish off a limping tank, and blitz out for repairs. And that doesn't stop Allies from building any tanks.

Furthermore, the British are about to have something very similar in the form of the Comet Tank, which isn't as agile, but at face value basically the Tiger's AI with the Panther's AT.

Yes and you take a risk, your Panther can be damage + engine damage by a riflenade during your rush, you can hit a mine etc... That's risk/reward. Where is the risk of having a M36 spotting for himself behind your line?
SU85 and JP4 have it but they are turretless.

USF is design around RMs being backbone of the army. Actually they aren't past 10 min mark. So let them being it all the game long and that would probably solve many of the USF issues aspect.

ATgun can do nothing vs it.

best ways to deal with is:
1- Backtech T1 and build a m20 + mines + your usual AT stuff.
or
2- 2 Jacksons with a lot of micro (3 is better)
or
3- M10 spam.

Or a mix of all of the above.
