I just don't believe it, but it's true. http://www.companyofheroes.com/forums/release-notes-32/topics/Release-Notes-12172010?page=1#post-112284
Though it's just beta, I already am starting to hate it.

Well, yeah, the commonwealth part is al-right, due to the simple fact, that previously it totally sucked, but for the rest of it, the changelog looks as if Relic appear to fix things, that actually don't need to be fixed. That is what pisses me off. I mean for all that time, while we were getting used to all the issues, they were nursing their other projects. And now, when everybody is used to the total absence of Relic in solving CoH issues, they come and say: "We're gonna fix 'em all" , and do it in seemingly ridiculous way.
On the other hand, maybe I just need a sleep. Beg your pardon for all the flood here.

[Versedhorison]

nah a lot of those fixes are actually very much in the right.

[Desert_Fox]

Many of this changelog are first appeared on EF.

M26 Pershing & Tiger: 900 Mp 800 MP

Geschutzewagen: No Mg42 since Vet.2

Etc..

[IJoe]

@Moonwalker
That much I know. Or do I? Think I read some thorough articles about CoH mechanics in general and EF in particular. Like this summer or so. I'll refresh my memories tomorrow. Good night to everybody going to sleep, like myself, and good morning\day\afternoon\evening to all the others. 

EDIT: Truly, lack o' sleep is a torture, I really gotta stop on hate letters.

[Blackbishop]

I don't like that you need 5 injured soldiers to make a gren squad. But i suppose that's for the zombie grens tactic.

[GodlikeDennis]

The majority of these changes are already in EF. I noticed they're not even trying to fix strafe. EF will have to one-up them on that.

Its like reading EF changelog.
Roos, Stags and Gwagons,  finally arent OP. Cromwells (with a command tank) and Stugs (vet3) are my 2 most favorite tanks.

4 CP StuH.

17lbs will loose a 1v1 with a PAK 5cm now. Thats the only sad thing.

[Desert_Fox]

I noticed they're not even trying to fix strafe.

Maybe I'm countercurrent, but I prefer "Smokeless Strafe"; It's one of my main anti-infantry spam strategy, and smoke would make it useless. 

[Pauly3]

i noticed they wont fix Vet stacking with the british...

I find the smokeless strafes really annoying at times, when I beat my opponents rifle/airbourne blobs he uses those strafing runs to force me to retreat. I know I shouldn't be blobing but tbh axis blobing of PE assault grens and/or KCH will beat american blobs easy.

I guess sector arti and bundle nades+sneeky shrecks have no smoke too.
I ended few games vs rifle blobs with sector arti.
Sector LOLtillery!

I'm not only an Alliy player, I like use every faction, but when I use American and my ememy has a giant blob of Vet. 3 infantry I can't see any other way to counter that blob.
Smoke give to the spammer the possibility to move away his blob.

@Paciat
Sector Artillery is one of the best.
Me too, in Lorraine I take PE with Scorched Earth, and my Wehrmacht mate put the OPs on +10 ammo point.
