In my opinion, conscripts in the lategame are a bit too weak. they are basically a capping or decrewing force, rather than a potent fighting force, even with vet.
In the Relic dawn of war series, global upgrades were common with every race, for example the wider tau shooting range, or the better space marine armor or tougher orc infantry. you usually had to build a specific building and/or a certain tier was needed.
I could imagine something similar for conscripts: t3/t4 unlocks the conscript armory (or whatever) in which you can choose several upgrades for conscripts (and maybe penals):
an upgrade to boost armor for some manpower or fuel
an upgrade to boost damage and maybe rate of fire
a DP pgrade to pick up just like in the US Base
maybe same with PPSH and PTRS
it would also give more tactical options in 1v1 or 2v2, as it makes conscript based strats more flexible
what do you think of that idea? |

title says all. nice vanilla matchup on moskow winter. lots of medium tanks, no ISU, no Elefant, no Jagdtiger |

for me, coh1 has some design and gameplay flaws which made it completely unplayable for me:
3. Rep Bunkers: always funny to play against a sim city of about 10 rep bunkers + a bunch of pumas and tanks
2. Vehicle pushing: the mechanic of bike pushing guys to prevent capping, jeep pushing out of cover and the king of all: the m10 squishing grens and knights cross. really, it didnt really matter if you thought about laying traps or something. the m10 was always able to drive onto shreks and prevent a loss. abuse beats tactic
and # 1
Snipers!
really, this game was actually about having more snipers than your enemy. when you have more you win. that simple.
a unit which can insta kill, cloak has far sight and range...this comepletely breaks the whole gameplay.
the only counter was a countersnipe. a mechanic which was totally depending on luck.

i only want to know about the 7% increased molotov throwing range |

Sommergewitter and me are currently waiting for our partners: camilongas and pinochet.
we set this time and date for the match. however they aren't here :/ |

i actually thought this thread was about the soviet advanced warfare doctrine and that the first reply was trolling. back to topic: yes i find the advanced warfare doctrine very good, mostly because of the first ability. |

We're in, too:

i ve been Relic fanboy since dawn of war 1 and do not really like how many people only tend to see bad things. coh2 made it to my absolute favourite game, because it has improved so many things of previous titles:
Relic did a fine job reshaping sniper mechanics, ressource system and artillery mechanics: snipers cant be camo-ed in mid of road, are slower and more expensive, new ressource system brings a more frontline-based gameplay and alows more comebacks while neglecting mircroing-orgies, arty isnt that strong anymore much more vulnerable but mobile and can fire faster which gives it a support role and not a game-depending role.
it seems to me they really make a lot of mind work to improve our game experience. it's just not that easy with such a complex structure like a a video game project of this size, regarding programming and game-principle issues, to run everything perfectly right from the start
on top of that, it's just the enourmous effort and love they put in this game to create an unique, simply breathtaking atmosphere. For example, i zoomed in to a sturmtiger moving with broken chains. I ve never the awesome squeaky noises the engine did in that case. When i play this game, i can dive into an action packed battlefield atmosphere no other game i know can do in such a manner. preparing an assault with katyuschas, assemble infantry and driving onto enemy positions with a bunch of t34 and cons while explosions fill your screen and cannons roaring all over the place
i for myself will keep on enjoying this game, not letting little things prevent me from doing that.
And i'm sure AA will be a great campaign, maybe like the one from DoW Winter assault whic i personally enjoyed very much. I'm more interested in multiplayer currentyl but AA can also turn out to be a nice step in for people who aren't familiar with the CoH series yet.
