I assume this would be the L-Key for "Laces"..

Feel like you are clouding my sarcasm with yours to avoid the argument

Alright, I doubt that driving your tank back to base every 5 min to refuel would benefit the gameflow in any way. So no, I would not like that. However, I do like basic macro management in RTS games. That includes reeinforcement management and base buildings. Simplifying that already basic process hurts the game in my eyes. Let me ask you this: why not take this further and move units to a way point after being fully reeinforced? Or automatically search cover?
Btw, I was against adding the "manual reload" button in Coh2. I would have been fine to reset magazines after a short time when out of combat. That is tedious.

If you don't like it, turn it off. Jesus Christ.

And as a result putting yourself at a disadvantage compared to the players who have it enabled? This is not a feature of personal preference like hotkey layout.

did any preview changes not make it into live version?

Why are there only options that still allow the 4th-wall breaking mechanic of the ability? No matter how to you time it, 4 seconds are still enough to move your blob of volks at 1.2 speed (while being able to fire which is unique) and take out a sniper or mg. If we have to keep this awful mechanic at least make it that as soon as units enter combat state they are visible. But I’d suggest removing it and replacing it with something similarly useful and more fitting to its theme.

For people who worry about the theme of the commander: it’s already not fitting anyway. Enemy troops are charging you with full-auto STG fire at ubermenschen-speed (even For Mother Russia got that speed buff in combat removed) but you still can’t see them on the minimap which is quite hilarious. I’m sure the fact that they don’t use coms is overshaded by the fact that are firing their assault rifles in front of you. The whole aspect of keeping radio silence is already thrown overboard.

A mechanic that is vastly superior to how radio silence is implemented currently is camouflage. It doesn’t awkwardly mess with your UI in a forced way. Camouflage also hides units from the minimap and even plain view but there are many drawbacks like standing idly by not doing anything if you wait for a countersnipe for example and ways to counter it. It also requires heavy micro taxation by moving your units from cover to cover. You can use recon plane, you can use scout cars with higher detection radius or even avoid the area. It also features a psychological aspect. With radio silence there are no such countermeasures or even restrictions to your micro, hell you don’t even see the enemy on the map when he is right in front of your face. You click the magic button once, and you can keep doing what you are doing with little effort while your opponent struggles to get the blanket off his screen.

I already posted an alternative implementation that balances the ability and also better fits the theme. I also like the idea mentioned here of an improved raid operations. The ability should be about advancing sneakily and if it has to with more speed in the cover of night (the original inspiration was the infiltration tactics used by the Axis during the Battle of the Bulge). All of these things should disappear as soon as you enter combat though.

Does anyone experience issues since the 64-bit update went live? For me personally my VPN solution doesn't work anymore and I'm stuck with a ping of 650ms+ resulting in input delay. The update should in theory not affect any of the networking stuff, but that's my situation today.
