According to open sources, there is no plans for bulletins rework, but i still would like to get some ideas and discuss it with the community. I’ll stop here for today as I must wake up early in the morning tomorrow.I would like to talk about current situation with intel bulletins in the game.

Instead of 4%, why not give a decent 10% bonus? This meagre improvement in penetration does not really give an incentive to the player to choose it in fact, the player might choose to ignore this bulletin if he does not want to disclose his strategy to his opponent.

However, sometimes we want to use the Puma to support main battle tanks when fighting T-34/76s and M4 Shermans. Even at the longest range, thanks to its default 80 penetration value, the Puma can easily penetrate light vehicles. Usually, we use Puma to counter light tanks such as M5A1 Stuarts, T-70s, and AEC Armoured Cars. So, if this bulletin gives a 4% bonus, then we now have 166.4/124.8/83.2. Puma has a penetration capability of 160/120/80. Let’s look at another bulletin but this time for the Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma: “Extra Punch”: Improves armour penetration by 4%… not good enough… The bulletin should provide at least a 10% improvement to ensure that it becomes worthwhile to use it in the first place. Unfortunately, this does not really lead to a noticeable change on the crew’s performance. Since it improves the reload rate by 3%, it reduces the reload time to 3.68 seconds ~ 4.17 seconds. Raketenwerfer has a reload time of 3.8 seconds ~ 4.3 seconds. “New Year’s Rockets”: Improves reload rate by 3%… that’s all?! For example, let’s look at one of the Raketenwerfer bulletins. I strongly propose that Relic improves the bonuses that each bulletin gives, thereby making them more relevant in-game. However, for veterans of CoH 2, each battle could get repetitive as there can only be so many tactics and unit combinations that players can come up with.

True, each faction contains a large roster of units and there are many maps to choose from. I find that Intel bulletins are a great way to customize your army in a game that could increasingly get repetitive. Today, I want to discuss one particular aspect of CoH 2 that I have always found to be wanting: Intel Bulletins. Nevertheless, I have been playing Company of Heroes 2, Men of War Assault Squad 2, Warcraft III, and Rome 2 Total War regularly so I am not completely out of touch 😉 Having graduated from college, I now work full-time and things have been rather hectic lately.

It has been several months since I posted my last article here.
