Voices really depends. In CoH 2 the soldiers sound much less like action heroes or men who think they're kings of the world and maybe a tad bit less sterotypical (vCoH German medium/support tanks vs Ostheer medium voice). It may be the fact vCoH had more voicelines, but the majority of vCoH was repetition of the same line, but in a different variation which has sort of returned for the WFA armies.

CoH 2, though, I find had much better background infantry chatter. Relic, fix it, I want to hear about the girl who could do it standing on her head or that Soviet guy whose balls allowed the Soviet Union to survive the German onslaught.

Also, maybe because the voice studios are different this time around. VCoH was recorded in by a US studio, CoH 2 by a UK studio.

Relic should also get Scott Mcneil to be a unit in-game though, he's in the same city they're in

I would like to see Guards come without weapons stock with the ability to either buy three buffed PTRS rifles and maybe holster them or upgrade to their DPS. The former doesn't make them totally teeth less against infantry while the later improves their AI and gives them Button(possibly improved). So no locking down light vehicles and killing it horribly like they did a while back unless there are multiple guards which means tons of munitions spent elsewhere (less mines).

I've been testing some changes so far in the editor here's what I did, though no accurate numbers as I do not have my notes currently on hand:
PTRS Penetration slightly increased
PTRS Accuracy increased
Deflection damage of 20 (so they're not absolutely worthless against heavier vehicles)
Three PTRS Rifles for 75 munitions.
Range increase back to 45 (thought could probably remain the same if I knew what to edit to stop their dancing)

We already have Para's and 1919 riflemen no thanks.

Could easily make that Vet 1 ability not game breaking. I took the files from Hit the Dirt and it got this.

Guard's Hold Position
-10% increase in accuracy
-10% reduction in received accuracy
-Squad cannot move
-Cool down between activation and de-activation to prevent simply toggling between the two every 5 seconds.
-Can still be suppressed/pinned

I feel that half of these are too much of the same thing with the only difference being one unit. Main difference was tech system which allowed upgrades to replace units for a lot of faction. Focus on tech or units, though Allies sort of have this as they have to unlock stuff.

for Ost I could easily say this
Grens --> PGs --> Tiger
or
Grens --> Half-Track --> Tiger.
or
Grens --> Pak --> Panzer IV
or
Ostruppen Spam --> T2


Also CoH 1 snipers were awful. There was no reason for cloaks in the open. Shoot, back-pedal with cloak and the sniper hunter were less to hunt and more to get LOS on them for another sniper. It's far worse than Soviet Sniper sprint. And the only thing really good about US WSC was the sniper. The other support weapon were so lack luster. (30cal may have had more damage, but Axis troops had higher HP values and could grenade it like grens rifle nade Maxims)

Sure there are problems with the meta such as call-ins, but only a few players are willing to experiment away from it and to try and make it work.

It should be something that rewards skill and intelligent use of barrage. Not something that just sits behind your lines wiping squads with out any effort.

The Vet ability for the ISG should be flare rounds or some sort of scouting thing. I leave it up to everyone else to figure out what the Pack Howi's vet ability should be.

Could just make the WP rounds free and increase its number of shells to give an incentive on using it over the regular barrage which can gib infantry, especially since WP rounds cause the weapon to fire in a high angle arc after the first shot due to lack of LOS.

Due to pioneers being able to go toe to toe to conscripts in close combat.

Maybe in an older patch where the pioneers not only had better MP40s, but also Conscript accuracy at mid-long was even more abysmal than it is now, but unless you're distracting the cons and no one looks and shoots at the Pios they'll generally lose pretty badly and they bleed 25 MP per model. They are only really good at defending grens against the charge, but enemies can then shoot at mid-range while your pios only tickle them.
