I agree with Orangepest, Volks being trash is the main issue. OST is supposed to crutch on MG42 with pio support. But you cant cap a map this way in 1v1. So you spam grens which are weak and you lose. Your only option is Ass grens or Ostruppen. Especially since flame track got nerfed.

I am not the balance guy. But I used to play this game a shit ton. And one thing I saw everyday is network/server lag. If you have long range units with lag, weird shit happens. Your long range units will be very weak because they wont start to attack until the enemy is almost on top of you.

Example:
1) I make brit IS in green cover, Sturms rush me and rekt my no-no hole.
2) I make sturms and rush IS in cover, I drop 2 models before I get there.

So either pios need a buff to protect MGs better or Grens need a slight buff on close range so they are not merely relegated to being rape witnesses.

Buffing grens will water down the game since they will become more like every other faction. But who really wants the other option, MG spam?

And of course the real-real issue is units doing way too much DPS close range. With lag and shitty animation code you should not be able to lose a whole squad in less then 5 seconds. But that would be a huge change. Too late for that. But for COH3 lets hope they hear us.

Why doesn't this game have more 2v2+ tournaments? Balance issues? Maps suck?

I would agree with GBpirate, a 1v1 tourney is probably much easier to organize and fund. 1v1 is also considered the main game mode. The 2v2 map pool is also a little underwhelming right now (may change when the patch hits).

With that said, the last 1v1 tourney was a snoozer because of the meta commander choices. So right now a 2v2 tourney would be great since we could possibly see 4-8 different meta commanders as opposed to 2 meta commanders.

Sadly there are probably alternatives that no one has decided will work or havent thought to try. I partially blame the players for the same picks over and over.

If AOE4 is released on Microsoft Store only, I will never buy it. Simple as that. MS has a long history of trying to dip their toes into an established sector and failing. And after they fail they just abandon it screwing their customers royally. I would fear some system of not being able to play it unless MS store servers are running which they wont be when MS pulls the plug.
