Hello coh2.org folk!

While I have indeed enjoyed my short time along coh2 immensively, there is this one thing that has kinda started to boil my piss, and I'm quite sure I'm not alone. Ever got that stupid feeling of insecureness during the loading screen when the blank and unimaginative faces of the enemy generals stare at you?

Did that guy have guards? Or was it the ISU-152 commander? There's 4 heavy tank commanders?? Who the hell was that bearded guy? These might be just a tiny fraction of the questions bouncing inside the players' heads as they try to figure out their opposition, or just generally trying to remember the commanders and their abilities.

There are of course guides and similar awesome stuff, but they are cumbersome and definitely not fast to use, if you want to just check something. Fortunately I took my time and created.. initially, well, for myself, but I decided to share.. tables of the commanders.

I wanted to cut most of the bullshit info out, so everything isn't necessarily self explanatory, if you don't know what the abilities do. I made this mainly as a learning tool for the commanders, so I could quickly check those little things I wanted to know during a loading screen, for example. In time it should render itself obsolete, and if it does, I will call this a success.

Yeah, T-70 is just a slightly more (arguably) effective version of the standard Greyhound "rush" from CoH1. The difference is that the PaK isn't quite as likely to hit it as before.

I don't understand this SU-85 sniping infantry issue. I never see it happen to any great extent. I'd say the same amount as m10 sniped infantry in CoH; amount that is noticeable, and a nice bonus, but doesn't affect the game in the big picture.

I've followed this thread from the first page to the 15th page and I can say for sure that this is cancer in its purest form. The whole 'game' aspect of this damn game has been pretty much lost in petty politics and emotional (subjective) history lessons.

People need to get a grip. In todays world one should be able to grab a PC game and enjoy it 'as is' with a grain of salt regarding its 'authenticity' (a word I f****** hate by now). Games are games, they are made to entertain their target audience, or let's just say 'people' to remain inside the grey area. Games are not true, movies are not true, even books that aren't history books are not true (though some are debatable even in that categery.. bad LU, grey area! Grey!). I could write an (ugh..) authentic book about world war where some group does something bad to the other group... aaaand so on.

You know what? This thread made me lost any willingness to participate in this discussion and I don't even want to finish this point I was going to make, because it would be pretty much certainly fruitless. People who understand this is a game will enjoy it as is, and those who do not.. well, they can go do whatever they will, I certainly don't care anymore; and I'm pretty sure Gabe Newell doesn't either.

Well, even the devs have admitted that sniper mass can be a balance problem, so this isn't entirely irrelevant.
