CMx2 v4.0 Your thoughts?

[Lethal]

Hello FGM,

Just came back to CMx2 WW2 gaming after a break. Have upgraded to v4.0. The Hull Down command is an interesting addition. What are the general thoughts on the upgrade? Any interesting changes to gameplay?

Foxholes and fortifications have been somehwhat nerfed by HE fire compared to pre v4.0. Infantry tend to scoot very rapidly from such locales after even just a little HE fire, straight out into the open, to be cut down by the same fire (instead of cowering at the base of their foxholes).

This is without a doubt the most common complaint on the BF forums.

BF I think increased the morale loss/impact of HE fire on infantry in v4.0 (which most seem to like), but the consensus seems to be that they need to counteract this for infantry in foxholes/trenches/buildings with a morale boost for those in these defenses.
