Would not recommend this game right now. I could go on and on.... the graphics, severe downgrade from COH2. The only upgrade are the animations for vehicle destruction being really nice. My units don't retreat when I say retreat. Instead, they stand there and get shot at and die despite having the retreat symbol above their head. I've got alot of experience of the COH games on both 1 and 2.

Current smooth brain meta: German medical car. Use medical car literally anywhere in the first 5 minutes of the game, and you'll win. On some match, my 6 man US rifle squad chased down a 2 man assault gren squad. The 2 men run for like.. 300 meters ALL THE WAY back to the medical car without taking any losses, fully reinforce, turn around and attack my guys. I had to retreat. Apparently I have a better chance at winning the lottery than my 6 man squad not killing the remaining 2 in an assault gren squad despite them being shot in the back.

Simple solution and I don't have to be a game dev to figure it out: if the medical car or the SQUAD is in combat, it cannot reinforce squads. Only halftracks should be able to reinforce in combat, that at least gives players more time before that halftrack gets out onto the field. Currently, frontline presence is way to strong with a medical car in the back just reinforcing everything, including blobs

Other complaints:
When I tell my vehicles to face forward, they do a couple of U turns before finally facing forward.
Bersaglieri are now overpowered
Everything is way too bright
Height advantage and cover are extremely inconsistent. My squads will be behind concrete and still not have green cover.
Pressing R to reverse move vehicles is inconsistent, most of the time I have to micro the vehicles reverse retreat path alot just to ensure that the juicy fat ass rear armor doesn't get presented to the enemy
Blobbing is still a problem
Any unit paradropping anywhere on the map at the start of the game is terrible, this needs to be fixed

Final thoughts:
Literally wait till this game is on sale for 5 dollars, don't spend 60 dollars on it. Currently, game is not worth 60 dollars.

WHO DESIGNED THIS STUPID GAME?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

This game has horrible download speed. It downloads small parts of the patch at 30 kb/s which takes forever, then it decides to download the bigger parts of the patch at 10 MB/s. Why can't it just download everything at a consistent speed?
Game itself is good but waiting for it to patch is a drag...

Be prepared to wait along time for patches
