I strongly disagree with the homogenization of factions that has been happening patch after patch (Maxim is a good recent example) but I don't understand the statement/poll to be honest.

It must be said though that relic has MASSIVELY improved coh2 since release. So there may be hope.

Why is vaulting a popular feature in this community ? It is illogical. It makes an area passable (by allowing units to vault fences) after making it impassable (by putting a fence there in the first place).
The only effect it has is requiring one extra click at one specific location to get the intended unit path and slightly slowing the unit down. Slowing down units can be done by mud deep or snow.

The one thing that vaulting actually does is allowing infantry to pass terrain that support weapons can't. However the gameplay effects of this are very small and I doubt that this is even taken into consideration by mapmakers.

So in the end of the day it only increases APM requirements which is totally stupid because no player in the history of coh has ever come close to reaching a skill cap by being able to control all his units perfectly. So why distract players unnecessarily without adding anything to the gameplay instead of "giving" them APM to do more skillful moves with their units ?

Another point I want to add is that some of the fences have really bad visibility and can be extremely annoying because of this. Overall having to precisely click on the fences feels really lame and tedious to me at least. I admit that this point is kinda subjective but the other arguments still stand.


Ideally (not realistic I know) all fences that can be vaulted should just be passable terrain for infantry and impassable for support weapons and if thats not possible be simply removed completely from all maps.

thoughts ?

Amazing how you guys are still working on this site, I'm sure that if coh2.org didn't exist company of heroes 2 would be in a much worse state.

Sherman >> scott, a fast sherman has way more shockvalue and the ability to finish the game in your favor, and can tank 2 more shots.

Also hf dealing with a panther, kt or tiger with scotts and a stuart.

+1 You need to finish the game as USF and Scotts won't do that. Going scotts means committing to the late game as USf which is not a good thing to put it lightly. I used to always build them when they were really strong right after the USF release but that was a terrible idea from a competitive perspective.
