Well said buddy. The way the duo is using coh2.org for publicity and promoting their mod is rather disgusting.

Scott shell power has less one-hit-kill radius, but should deal damage more consistently. We have to test and see how that works with the projectile trajectory changes.

1. And why is diversity not or, cannot or should not be a goal in itself? Please explain that first. Because otherwise, Relic should have been better off designing Ostheer clones factions.
Diversity was and is a very big reason why people like me buy DLC.

2. And your view that FRP can potentially influence the game in a negative way is neither a good or bad one either, so it's not an argument, either.
But at least diversity is a fact, not a hypothetical. Not all factions have it, and the ones that do do it differently. The result, and part of the design, is you don't play each faction like you would with Ostheer. That is plain fact.

3. Your opinion is also entirely hypothetical. I played the EFA mod, and the only way to make up for lack of FRP for OKW is if HQ truck had like double health, which of course is ridiculous given what it is supposed to be. This isn't some simple problem with a simple fix. Soft retreat might not be a problem in small maps where travel distance is negligible, but can you say the same thing with large maps?

4. We don't need simple measures. We need ones that satisfy all customers.


5. And that is probably where the biggest difference lies: in team games any particular FRP point isn't going to be some powerful match saver because the combined might of artillery attacks from multiple players can render the FRP advantages of one or more players moot. This is more or less basic scenario in maps like Sittard where the enemy bombards your FRP position and punishes you for using FRP with regularity. If you pay attention to it your battlefield effectiveness is weakened (Sturmpioniers repairing T2 truck means no panzerschreck support), and if you ignore it you risk losing the FRP investment. OKW has it worse due to being stationary, but USF has fragile units to make it work. This doesn't happen in a s1v1 match since there is only one player per side.
