Company of Heroes Online

Well if it removes the British and the Panzer Elite then I'm fine with that because they're what killed my love for the game.
 
Hmmm, CoH could learn a couple of tricks from Men of War - possibly some rst elements, so you can look after your troops individually and assign them their own gear. Assign skill points such as improved cover, fire accuracy, increased armour penetration or range. Also liked stealing the enemy tanks in MoW and go on a rampage with them, especially the mobile AAA half-tracks.
Would also be great if they regulary introduce new units, so each player is more customised.

How come?? I've just recently started playing as the British as opposed to the US all the time and I'm loving it!

because brits are completely overpowered in almost all respects

Inf WAY too strong
Bren Carrier - almost uncounterable early game
medic tent difficult to destroy provides free inf worth 450mp a plop)
roo spam = the death of COH
arty spam

err... do you want any more reasons?
 
I stopped playing after the 3rd expansion, those ridiculous units ruined ladder for me as a Wehr player. Slightly interested in this though, seems to be adding a bit of an RPG element to your army which could be interesting.
 
I never played coh after mow came out, its got so much more depth to it and makes coh like rock paper sissors, although the rpl/leveling up aspect of this sounds quite fun, and free so worth giving it a go.

heehee... thats probably why I'm loving it!! (I'm not the best player and we normally play co-op against the AI!) :D

btw, whats "roo spam" & "arty spam"?? (sorry to be a noob!)

Also, what does the medic tent actually do?? (free "inf"???)

Cheers,

Hi, okay where to begin lol!

Spam - is the literal 'spamming' of that unit type. say i liked Kangaroo inf carriers, if i was to build 7 of them and rush them all in, that would be Kanga'Roo' Spam.

Arty spam is when u build many 25lb'ers emplacements, then go for an arty based doctrine and use (and abuse) LT spotting arty... basically for your opponent its as though they are being constantly artied making it difficult for them to do anything.

When u play brit, you can build a Casualty Clearing station - this (slowly) sends medics out to pick up your dead infantry and recoups them. when it has 'cleared' 5 wounded men, you get a free squad of Inf...

wehr can do this via their Bunker and upgrade to medic bunker

and US has a medic tent which does similar.

other OverPowered (OP) units include:

VET2 Piospam
Vet2 shrekblob made from bunker spam
Roo Spam
US Elite Spam
PE Infantry blob spam
Vet2 Puma spam
T17 spam

these units all tend to punch above their weight and when u have a number of them become almost uncounterable as they can kill any counter before the counter can kill them, rendering them completely supreme on the battlesfield.
 
Another heads up there is a hefty 6.5gb patch, mine corrputed from last night, was sitting at about 40% had to uninstall and will need to wait till midnight before i can start downloading again, ( p2p dl system )

To me they don't fit what CoH was about in Vanilla form. They were also over-powered when compared to the Vanilla armies, and quite frankly just not that fun to fight against. I enjoyed taking part in a dynamic battle, not spending 20 mins trying to kill a British sim city. The Panzer Elite were stupidly hard to beat as USA for ages and then they nerfed them into uselessness.

I love panzer elite, my favourite army. I think it all depends on the enemy your facing.

If you learn the maps, all the units and how to counter them then you can beat the brits or any team.

how comes there's plenty of wehr players with very very good win/loss ratios then ?

9/10 times it's the player that matters i don't see much of these tactics in high level play
