1. I hope the Armored Car does what it should do. Be a class cannon, that counters light armor and is still a threat against medium armor damagewise, but isn't resitant enough to hardcounter mediums.
2. My hope for the Bren Carrier is, that it isn't a second Kübel.
Some people have a very romantic way of seeing things. Without a doubt relic made mistakes with coh2, but they have to find a solution to keep a company alive with a very niche product. This means getting more from customers than every 2 years 20 Dollar (Addon). That is a fact. The industry slogan "gaming as a service" may have had a few bad decissions as a result, but that is life. Relic just can´t support coh1 indefinitely and yes probably, they dont want to compete with their own product.
This in mind, i prefere to stay positive with relic and will support coh2, coh1 is imho the past - a very nice and dear one but still past and gone....
Come to the darkside of coh2 - we have cookies - and you might like it
