Battlechief pretty much covered everything I was going to say.
Here are some other thoughts on your suggestion:

-Stuarts were purposely withheld from the recon call-ins for a few reasons.  One, it would be too powerful at tier 1, and two, you can get them very cheap at tier 2 with the LV cost reduced upgrade. Your suggestion of two Greyhounds would be more powerful than the intended strength of the recon call-in. Your justification isn’t enough for us to change, and it’s slightly less interesting as far as vehicle variety.
-Abrams has always been a Jumbo. That wasn’t changed.
-Abrams airstrikes were something we felt was an extra bonus not really deserving(fitting?) to be prevalent in an Armor Doctrine. They are basically directly from the AB doc, so giving them to armor as well only made sense if they were limited.
-Just about all of the TF Abrams call-in vehicles are from other doctrines. Again, having them as a one time “event” makes it more interesting. If they all die, does US armor fold?  Nah. The only thing I can see from your suggestions that I agree with is giving the Pershing a cap of 2 after the ace dies.

Since this was a massive, time-consuming rework that is fairly recent, it extremely unlikely that any of it will change in the near future as we’ve moved on to other things that need attention….namely Wunderwaffe.

Like I said, the only thing I could see changing is the Pershing cap.

Thanks for your post.

Believe it or not, we considered adding the mg-15 to tier 3 fusiliers, but decided the work to add it would be not be worth it since they are nearly identical.

I suppose we could just change the art a little and call it an mg-15….

EDIT: Added for next patch.

First thing you need to do is in your steam library right click on Coh2…go to properties.

Inside General Tab, find “Set Launch Options…”

Type   -dev  in this box

When you load the game go into the console by holding Ctrl+Shift+~

Use these commands to adjust Manpower, munitions, fuel, command pts.  You must type them in exactly like I have below…or just copy/paste these individually into the console:

Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Fuel, 9999)

Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Manpower, 9999)

Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Munition, 9999)

Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(), RT_Command, 32)

Player_SetPopCapOverride(Game_GetLocalPlayer(), 1000)

FOW_RevealAll

Obviously, you can choose to use whatever numbers you want instead of “9999”.

Please let us know if this worked for you!

Good luck

Try this map on expert and see if you still think the AI is too easy:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=408720981

AI has changed from when you first played.  It has been nerfed because of many complaints of it being too hard.  The end-game, however, should be where it becomes more challenging with lots of heavy armor.  Granted, the AI is brain dead in how they use the armor….

Unfortunately, the AI is very inconsistent.  Like Meatsheild said, it depends a lot on the map.

Join us on Discord if you haven’t already and we can discuss maps, modes that you have discovered that work best for AI.  Members there can also potentially suggest maps that work well too.

We initially had the pak40 in a hull down position/emplacement for the Iron Will Doc.  Since it was “protected”, it was limited in its firing arc and could not be rotated.  Everyone hated this, so it was removed.  You want it back?  Or you want it done differently?

There is no way to have a visual “towed AT gun”, but it’s definitely possible to fake this.

If you select a Jumbo and a “regular” Sherman side by side and have them rotate on their axis, you will see the Jumbo is much slower.  If you again select them side by side and have them race to a position, the Jumbo is clearly slower.
Do you feel the speed isnt slow enough?

Awesome guide!  The mortar “trick” is something I will use in the future.

Thanks for making this.
