I guess you missed my point.
My point being that COH2 is full of fantasy as well.
Maybe we're not on the same page. CoH2 isn't completely realistic, but CoH1 was far more outlandish. The depiction of various units etc may not be historically accurate but it's certainly grounded. On the other hand, 3 high ranking Officers with Knight's Crosses pinned to their chest and Assault Rifles in their hands are most definitely a fantasy unit with no grounding in reality.
As to the T17 - 1500 were contracted to be built by the US Army but in midst of this contract they decided to standardize around the smaller m8. Some 250 had been built. That is more, I should point out, than the Ostwind (40), Elefant (65), 20mm Puma (200), 50mm Puma (100), or Sturmtiger (10). The brits called this model the Deerhound.
4000 of the T17E1 were used by the brits. This was the model called the Staghound.
The Americans produced them, but they never used them. We prefered the M8, and the T17's were given to Britain and used by various Commonwealth forces.
As to the Brit army design... it was, in the style of the new powers-that-be i Relic, designed to be "different", just as the PE with their shared vet (and the ability to choose whether it was defensive or offensive) was designed to be different. And isn't the new OKW teching design similar? With the added bonus one of the trucks gets its own gun.
The British Army was an offensive force like the Americans, so their depiction as a very campy force with almost no offensive capability was very odd.
As was mentioned before, the US squads had designated marksmen within each squad or platoon. A scoped rifle was a part of the TO&E. And the many parts of the US had and have a long tradition of marksmanship so there wasn't a lack of good marksmen even if they didn't have trained snipers.
Exactly, a US Sniper would work more like low-health crit kill system with Pathfinders and JLI, and otherwise have very good accuracy. Maybe a snipe ability.
COH isn't and has never been a good model of WWII. That goes for COH2 as well as COH1.
True, but CoH2 is a bit more grounded than CoH1 was, for the most part.
