The community is a word, it doesn't really exist. But assholes like the ones you just encountered in the wild are everywhere and yes we have plenty of them(I would personally ban them at least temporarily but our overlords are very forgiving) but don't put the label on the community please. The same community also did a lot of great things.
I think that the people who the OP is alluding to don't come to this neck of the woods. CoH2.org is mostly full of people that want constructive discussion and collaboration. I have met plenty of wankers in custom games who think you need to do what you say otherwise they destroy your base with friendly fire (needs to be addressed IMO)
From my point of view, there's no point trying to fix something that isn't broken. what is wrong with the zooks currently? or is this whole thing just a red herring?
What would be the idea behind giving them this AT? As far as I can see, they are designed to be an anti-infantry unit (if you are referring to giving the Paratroopers the recoilless rifle.)

Nerf it and see what happens I guess. could mean balance, could mean Allies OP because the super-medium spam
All's well that ends well, in regards to DevM deciding to basically rematch. Honestly I believe that he should have either been forced to rematch or have it chalked up as a loss and move on as normal. this whole 'gentlemen's agreement' leaves quite a large grey area where anything that is suggested is open to accusations of bias. In the end Von Ivan did say 'I agree' so I don't really know why people are trying to crucify A_E. If von felt it wasn't fair, I'm sure he would have said something, because he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who just rolls over when Directlytold to shut up.
