Man I'm not comparing VCoH to EiR at all I'm just asking Why VCoH Sucks in your mind?
you asked why someone prefer EiR over vCOH...so you compared it by yourself
ok my answer vCOH dont suck it gets a bit boring because the last patching was long ago and metagame and strats didn't changed
Suckisucki I've seen massive arty usage in VCoH More than in EiR and not only by brits but by calliopes and those were spammed (2 and when down 2 more!)
and i run a 3 calliope EiR company by myself....i've seen huge arty usage in EiR
if something like red offmap smoke drops or calliope fire in vCOH you can hit retreat..but you cannot do that in EiR because units are gone...so many of them have to die for hopping some will still live after that arty and fight longer in a battle...
arty is much more powerful in EiR
in EiR if you chase the blob away it won't come back. in CoH Retreat, heal, regroup, recrew, come back.
if a blob chases one of your combined arms unit in EiR u cannot retreat them using T and regrouping to make a counter push...the blob will mow down the unit
that works most effective on allied side
they can mob their units and send them in a huge blob around the map you can't really stop them with mgs (fireup charge or fireup nade) you cannot counterblob them (allied offmap arty or calliope or strafes) and you cannot keep your stuff together for fully effect of combined arms because the blobs will outcap you
Stuff that never ends means: You build a tank, it dies, you just build another one on and on and on.
that is what strategical thinking and RTS games are about...
if one needs to spam airbornes you can counter it by building vet2 ostwinds until he reacts with countering it with an AT gun
in EiR the success is in somekind based on a lottery system and your guess what your opponent has in his company
if he has no tanks and rely on a combination of airbornespam and AT guns your shreks and at guns and panther or kingtiger are a kind of waste
it is not as bad as in games like medival2 where the counters are much more only hardcounters
but it is some kind of
EiR Chat and Forums aren't that bad. As someone stated I've read Gamereplay.org chat and then in one game I got flamed by some Wehr player "PLAY MY FRIEND U NOOB ARAGAWAGAWAGAGHAWAGH SPAM SPAM" when he and his team mates got fried xP I don remember how that game ended...I guess someone drophacked it.
why you need to read in coh lobby ingame chats for vCOH but not for EiR? did i missed a point?
