In all honesty BK feels like a lamer version of CoH. For starters the damage system encourages camping and playing defensively, the eb and flow of vCoH is completely lost upon BK. The strategies and doctrines employed are very predictable: almost every PE player will go scorched earth baring any signs of an RR jeep or vehicle raid. As for the CW they will usually choose RCR, hiding behind 4.2 inch mortars and 17 pounder emplacements. With the Wehr, blitzkrieg seems to be the favorite, the def doctrine relies too heavily on emplacements making them huge targets for the RCR doctrine. The terror doctrine is just a Goddamn joke with expensive arty, inf, and armor, only viable if your enemy was stupid enough to play on Autry. Most team games result in artillery duels where non-arty players try desperately to navigate the enemy's defensive line of cloaked at guns, mgs, and snipers. Let's look at the relationship between the panzer iv and panther in vCoH- the panzer iv lacks the at capabilities and the armor of the panther but its main gun has an anti-infantry ability that far surpasses that of the panther so in essence the panzer iv still has some viability even if the player has enough resources for a panther. This is not true for BK, the panther can do everything the panzer iv can but better, aside from cp and resource cost there is no reason to build a panzer iv, which in turn makes some units like the greyhound with no turret and the panzer iv E absolutely useless. The mod just released its 4.51 patch and there are still some largely over-looked bugs. A lot of the new abilities are missing hotkeys and some abilities don't even work from a garrisoned building or trench, even when clicked on. One of the biggest bugs I've noticed is that allied vehicles will occasionally run over certain weapon teams; this bug was non-existent in the vanilla game making its inclusion here an embarrassment on the dev's part. To be honest, you're better off playing Men of war.
