ok What about the Maxim Deathloop ?

where is the bug involved here?

Hello Everyone. Let me start by saying thanks to the mapmakers for all the effort into providing us new playgrounds to mess around with in CoH2.

After playing the tourney games today I wanna share my feedback on the maps I played (Mol, Amily, Ploiet). I will mention Bocage tomorrow, though from what I've observed so far is that is seems too large for 1v1.

What all maps lack are meaningful buildings. Buildings have become more and more absent with the recent matches. Mol for example has one next to the VP, which act more as deathtraps to nades as proper garrisons. The window placement and the lack of them also makes them really unattractive for Soviets and USF. On Bocage there is one, but it only covers a strategic point far away from the action, so why even bother.

The map I liked most so far is Amily. That one is well crafted with lots of flaking routes and meaningful cover. The Cutoff for the Northern side is a bit too brutal though. You can cover almost both cutoffs from the center next to the VP, which makes strategies like Osttruppen, MG into T2 extremely potent. That needs some refining, but apart from that I really like it. With minor adjustments this would be a neat addition to the automatch rotation (also like it visually).

Mol is a bit tricky. I didn't really like it nor did I dislike it. The map is really interesting to look at on the sides of it (with all the trenches for example). But there is almost no worthwhile territory, so there are almost no engagements fought at all. Meanwhile the center is pretty straight forward - though less interesting. I also dislike the Shed with the Tractors next to the southern cutoff, as it doesn't provide proper cover or does anything meaningful at all. I wish all the goodies on the sides were squeezed into the middle. To make the sides more interesting I'd push the munition points further to the sides. There is also a lack of green cover in a circle around the middle VP (only bushes and farns). Overall decent map though.

Ploiet is probably my least favourite map. It feels a bit stretched, with the middle more or less as a container and then the sides quite far away, resulting in long retreat path. The buildings are too bulky and meaningless, offering little strategic options and windows to shoot out of. The base MGs cover and important flaking route in the middle (towards the bush). I am not a fan of VPs acting as cutoffs. The important fuel and munition points could also be moved a bit more towards the center, as they are so far to the edge of the map, stretching 1v1 engagements quite thin. By opening up that corridor behind the buildings and moving the resources point a bit closer to the center aswell as adjusting the VPs to not act as cutoffs this could improve the map.

Also while I'm at it, can we tidy of the 1v1 automatch map pool? There are too many maps now they are certain vetoes like Bayeux which take up valuable vetos.

shiet, thanks for letting me know (would also be good to mention stuff like this in the patchnotes)

This is a worldwide pandemic we're all infected. I'm currently in isolation. There is no need to get offended by something as far reaching as this, the spirit of this cup is to get our mind off things with a CoH2 tournament, that's as far as it's linked.

fixed that for you

nice initiative

To be honest the bigger problem in my opinion is the power spike when the extra LT squad + M20 + Stuart hits the field. Rifles before felt awkward and now them are worth their price.
