Cover system feels wonky most of the time and the melee system is horrible. I think my biggest complaint overall was that the game just feels really unresponsive and clunky.

Thanks for the great clarification. So in other words, nothing I can do about it. Do you think that going dual channel would help with the FPS?
2v2 on most maps is steady 50+ FPS
3v3 dips from 90 FPS to average 25-30
4v4 dips a bit more with average 20 FPS in long long arty spamfests.
1v1 runs fluently for the whole game.
I tested those only with AI since I can't really multitask and steadily check the FPS while playing vs people and MSI afterburner for some reason won't log AVG FPS, nor minimums.

It's a shame that it was rushed like that. Being able to play Witcher 3, high, fluently at 60 and not COH2 at custom low/high setting is a bummer.

Thanks for the extensive reply. Much appriciated.

System 1 (desktop):
RX 580 8GB (1380 GHz boost)
i5 4670k 3.6 GHz
8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
2x SSD + 2 TB HDD (game on 7200rpm HDD)

System 2 (laptop GL702ZC Asus):
RX 580 4GB (1077 boost)
Ryzen 5 1600 3.4 GHz
8 GB DDR4 2400 MHz
SSD + HDD (game on 5600 HDD)

Windows and stuff like that is pretty much the same. Settings are also the same. High Image, High textures, Low snow, off Physics, off Vsync and AA..

On my father's desktop the CPU usage when playing a 3v3 game with/vs Expert AI (don't know if Easy/expert uses more CPU power) is constantly in the range of 60-80, which is great and the FPS starts at 100-110 and steadily decreases to 40-50 during the later stages of the game as more stuff in happening.

On my workstation laptop the CPU usage is constantly in the range of 20-40 and the FPS starts at 70-90 but as the game progresses, it decreases to 20-35 which is much lower than the (CPU/RAM weaker) desktop. Why is the utilization of Ryzen so much lower than the Intel i5? Is it because the game was made before ryzen were out and as such the optimization for that processor is poor? The 20% utilization is really really low. I'm used to playing this game with 25 FPS but those moments when I visit my parents every now and then, this game is one of the few that runs better on a weaker system.

Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

Also does anyone know if the dual channel would help the laptop? I've ordered another (identical) RAM stick of 8GB for the laptop to put it in dual channel mode. Anyone have any experience with dual/single differences?
