in anticipation of a new patch focusing on commander improvements (https://www.coh2.org/file/19295/pogchamp.png) I worked on some proposals for Soviets, OKW and USF.
Here are my general thoughts about such a patch:
• There are only 2 factions imo that would need bigger commander reworks like those in the past: Wehrmacht and Soviets. Both have multiple underperforming commanders with poor design. In contrast to those factions UK, USF and OKW commanders are mostly fine. It’s more about fine-tuning them instead of reworking – result of the good changes in the past!
That’s why I would prefer a slightly different approach this time in case the scope of the patch would allow bigger reworks:
That being said here are my ideas to improve the US commander pool:
1. General thoughts about US commanders:
The US had the mightiest air force in the war but sadly CoH2 don’t reflect that. Even OKW, a faction that represents a late german army which had historically almost no air support, has 2 strong off map airstrikes – USF only one. This has to change!
2. Rework ideas:
Tactical Support
US Rifle Company
Armor Company
Heavy Cavalry:
It comes without saying that my ideas are not exhaustive. Many roads lead to Rome.
Please provide constructive feedback and make your own proposals here. We all have the same goal:
Make the Coh2 commander pool as good as possible.
