First they removed the OKW trucks crushing buildings,
I remained silent because I don't play OKW.

Then they removed the US planes crashing into Tigers,
I remained silent because I don't play US.

Now they removed the crushing ability of tanks,
and there is no one left to speak for the soviet player.

Seriously, I understand it's all for the good of competitive play, but there are many fun elements in the game that are being removed all the time ( like my dear B4 taking out two tigers at once... )

This.

Gallians aren't supposed to be an allied faction but a neutral one. The allied and the axis were fighting south of them. *SPOILER ALERT* But in VC1 The allies tried to kidnap the monarch of Gallia in order to force the Gallians to fight for the allies with the queen as leverage. Gallians are neither allied or axis. The Atlantic Federation are the allied, But the joke is that they never had a appearance in the games with their own uniforms and color schemes as far as I recall. But its suggested in the community that it should be similar to their flag.

ps: Nice skins

IMO, they remind me of Finland in the Winter War.

Good job Cookiez, there is now a guide for people who are new to the game. Plus, it helped me know a bit about the USF Sherman's passive ability cannot be used more than three.

I remember the PE death balls. I baited one into my hardpoint once. A M1917 MG Team, a Quad Halftrack, a Sherman, several BAR Riflequads, and a Calliope standing by. By the time the battle was ended, I lost the MG and Quad and maybe a Rifle. Heavy casualties to the Rifles and the Sherman was damaged. The blob had taken over 50% casualties mostly thanks to the Calliope.

It was back a few minutes later, stronger than ever. I managed to win by calling another Calliope. The first one hit the death-ball and the second one hit their retreat point soon after. Then I assaulted the base with what I had to wipe out the stragglers.

I really don't want to see this kind of play return, I think blobbing as-is is bad enough.

This is the reason why we don't want that sort of veterancy back in CoH2, it's more likely to piss off both the Allies and the Axis.

For God sake, why was it garbage!? It was interesting, worked good with faction mechanics and it was veeery nice balanced.

Here are my thoughts on vCoH's veterency.

The Wehrmacht's was pay to win. Not to mention they could get an instant Vet 3 Tiger tank once they unlocked the CPs and paid the vet in one of their buildings. The problem with this is that the player was dealing with an elite army that could be simply bought. It was in the Elite Troop Doctrine as an ability, but it was changed for that same reasoning.

The British faction in vCoH promoted blobbing. I'll elaborate on that. Officers were the only infantry TO GET PROMOTIONS. The rest couldn't and it lead to their Brit blobbing reputation just as the Volksgrenadiers of CoH2. To make matters worse, the British could legally have two units who buff the Infantry Sections and follow them without micro. In other words, they had two Sturmoffiziers.

Last, but not least the Panzer Elite. Their veterency promoted blobbing. You want to know why? Their starting unit, Panzergrenadiers, had this little description when it mentions their effectiveness. Effective in large groups. It promotes a certain kind of playstyle that everyone condemns. Not to mention, the veterency helped their large assault balls make Volksgrenadiers look tame in comparison. Plus, Panthers with a triple defensive bonus would be a nightmare for anti-tank based weapons.

To include such into CoH2 would be the nail in the coffin for this game.
