It definately sucks that Deus ex 3 is doing this exact thing

I'd really like to voice my support of your project up until this point. I think by far you are the most organized mod team to have worked on COH, you created a truely unique faction and have made my lan parties with my friends a real joy. But I must take issue with the latest patch you have released. Previously the Soviets have focused on heavy numbers of mediocre infantry, this made them interesting with clear nerfs playing them, Axis having still having superior units, forces the player to create new tactics. As of this patches release the advantages to playing Soviets is lost with the removal of conscript's 'no pop' feature, this makes the purpose of conscripts lost in my oppinion as the Soviets still have nerfing measures in place such as the inability to man enemy equipment and the lack of defenses in comparasion to other factions, I feel that this is taxing one of the core advantages to playing the faction. Also another point adding a fuel cost to unit upgrades means that even if the player wishes to build upgraded units as per other factions they are punished for it. I also felt that mechanics 'recovery' ability could have been balanced buy increasing the price, rather than the complete removal, of the unit (as it was a good parallel to the Bergetiger, with significantly less health). I don't wish to just focus on the negatives however, i still applaud your efforts in trying to attempt to patch the game on such a large scale and look forward to seeing your work in the future.

The French got slaughtered at Dien Bien Phu, the only reason they even held the Viet Minh back was because they used wave tactics again machine guns. But they ended up negating all French air superiority with no Air or Anti-air to speak of. The entire French effort in the 1950's was completely laughably, they couldn't hope to do any real damage to the Viet Minh. They only reason they tried to fight them at Dien Bian Phu was to get leverage to the peace talks.

Also if you gave Zombies the ability to eat wounded on the ground, that could help your healing problem. [Sorry for double posting I couldn't edit this on to the end of my last post]

Weren't the World War Z zombies, slow zombies? I think if fast zombie's should be made to be the same price as slow zombies because they already seem alot weaker than slow ones. For doctrines if you could have, say a Fast, Hunter-Stealth, Mass-Slow doctrine. For Fast you would focus on harrasing the surivivors advances with smaller groups(comparatively). Hunter-Stealth would give you a feign death, making sort of Zombie landmines and booby trapping buildings with Zombies forcing Suvivors out of buildings. Mass-Slow would focus on lots of weak, slow zombies, incresing squad size, having an ability similar to Red Tide from the Eastern front mod and a real emphasis on surrounding the enemy. Anyways thought i'd throw some ideas out there, sorry for the long post, keep up the good work.

Sticky bombs in the wheels!

You guys have always been my favourite mod, not just because the idea is one I've wanted to see this since I first played COH, but I think you are a highly dedicated team who have always given alot to the fans and to producing a highly polished mod, which is why I've followed it from infancy. You've fleshed this idea out and I'll be very happy to play this LAN with my friends, So Merry Christmas, you guys!

This kind of looks like 7 years after the events of the L4D...

ah, but are they tactically retreating?

So are you going to completely change the structural layout of the factions involved, because the kinds of battles fought by US and South Vietnamese forces were ambush style, hit and run assualt which would (savior battles involving NVA as opposed to VC) requiring large scale rebalancing for both factions to make gameplay fun. Unconvectional Assymetric Warfare is really not fun to simulate as it is mainly one-sided and very little long scale combat occurs. Whereas the COH fighting mechanics are based on conventional warfare tactics thus similar layouts of factions is possible. I would be interested to hear your oppinion on this.

Nice story, i'm a big fan of alternate historical storylines

yeah although i've always had a gripe about the S.C.A.R cause it kinda refers to like 4-5 guns that were developed under that program. I'm pedantic, sorry..

The Aussies and Kiwis fought at the Dardenelles then Syria, other parts of the middle east, then on the western front during WW1. The fighting in Egypt took place many in WW2..ANZACS FTW!!

Well the fact that your using the guy from the front of 2142 cover and the two factions from the game as well...i don't mean to poop on your project i just hope these are placeholders for your own ideas because this mod could shape up to be very nice

Your mod hasn't dissappointed me yet,i have faith this'll rock the COH mod scene, good luck on the road ahead dude

Are you stil going to keep some guys with bolt action rifles?

Agreed

Very nice dude!

I don't think this mod is dead, but i would just like the devs to slip an update our way or a comment either one would restore some lost hope... EDIT I just read the reply from the Devs (my bad sorry guys)

If you aren't only focusing on skirmishes, what settings might we be seeing in this mod. If i was to suggest some, i might think about pasific islands, parts of Austrailia, New zealand, The Korea Pennensular Japan. On the note of Japan many people have suggested third factions such as Britain, but Japan would probably be the first responce to a Chinese offensive.

Do you have upgrades for the M1 Abrams, If not could I suggest Explosive Reactive Armour, It gives a one-shot protection against a projectile. It's just a brainwave I had.

Ah very nice

Thanks

I was just wondering how Helecopters will be impletmented in game, will they be fire support or playable units, if the latter is the case will the map size be able to support this from a gameplay perspective, This is by far among one of the finest CoH mods i've seen so far, I eagerly await it's realese.

I'm really impressed by the quality of this mod and the idea of adding the Soviet faction,just wondering when this mod is finished do you think you will develop another factional addon. Keep up the good work lads!

So will the Elephant serve the purpose of the deploying Mongooses and/or a mobile weapons platform by the way you guys are doing a great job on the models and i look forward to play this mod

Are you planning on making fight for the galaxy with the outer and inner colonys and land battles

Speaking of "We Were Soldiers" will you be able to use a Broken Arrow TA with like heavy air-support with napalm and stuff

I'd just like to know whether the helicopters you will be using will land to pick up and drop off troops or not, because i always found that the Vietnam era helicopters would either hover very low so troops could jump off or they would touch down, i thought that it was annoying that troops in WIC would just disappear into a helicopter hovering above.anyways i love the idea for this project and look forward to playing it upon release
