I would argue that it is the "wrong way to play" but I agree it can be used as a valid tactic. The problem is the risk/reward ratio for blobbing almost always works out for the blobbers advantage.

The game sells itself as a combined arms tactical RTS with an elaborate directional cover system. Why bother doing any of the micro work of cover, spacing, and unit composition if the player that just blobs infantry to zerg around the map can easily win. If the blob picks a bad angle they can just back out, pop smoke, and approach from another angle very quickly.

I read a lot of mashing of teeth about auto-reinforce mechanic because it relieves some micro tax. However, blobbing with attack moving around the map removes much more micro compared to someone taking the time to space out their infantry, position their MGs, and build a mortar crew instead of just another infantry to add to the blob. I imagine players thinking with that extra infantry crew to the blob maybe we can even one volley a light vehicle if we add AT rifles.

Adding some kind of penalty or more effective counter would balance out the risk/reward toward the player using the combined arms cover based tactics which the game markets itself as IMO.

It's the store for cosmetics...

Caught in action again in Imperial Dane's cast today. Hopefully it's handled in this week's upcoming patch. I've heard they are aware of the bug.

Yeah, but they both have it currently and COH3 would also benefit from it for the same reason.

Yay! Finally, the most important feature this game has been missing: The in game store to throw more moneys at Relic.

Not exactly thrilled by it myself but I could see it being one of managements priorities to get the storefront open so that another revenue source is up and running. Gotta keep them lights on.
