Public Chat
- Chat channels are based on Steam Groups. Players can join up to 5 channels at a time from among any of the 14 official CoH2 channels or any personal Steam Groups that they belong to. They just click on the chat icon in the lower-left of the lobby to see the available channels.
- Personal channels can be bookmarked so that they will be automatically joined the next time they launch CoH2.
- Clicking on a Player's name in the chat opens a menu with a variety of options. If a players is in the official Looking for Group channel or any of your personal channels, you can invite other users to your match by selecting the "Invite" option. This should make it much easier to set up custom matches and make new friends with other community members.
- Players can type "/help" into any channel to display a list of commands available in that channel.
- When players join a Match or log into your Twitch.tv account (via the Broadcasting tab in the Options menu), you will be automatically put into a special channel for that session.
- Relic developers are often in the public channels so stop on by and chat with us!

Updates
- Players can now change your active Loadout while searching for a match without canceling their search
- An experimental "-fast_camera" option has been added to the game which dramatically increases the speed at which your in-game camera moves. To try this feature, players must enter "-fast_camera" into the "Set Launch Options..." dialog for CoH2 in Steam. Depending on the community's feedback to this feature, we will be fully supporting this feature in future patches.
- Holding down the CTRL key while in-game now displays the name of each squad's owner above the squad. This should make it much more clear who is fighting in larger battles.
- The in-game player list and the post-game stats screen now make it more clear when a player has dropped and been taken over by the AI
- Players can now add other players directly to their friends list from the post-game stats screen with the "Add Friend" button
- The multiplayer setup screen now has a button to take players to our Steam leaderboards page. Players can now keep track of where they stand against their friends friends and against the world!
AI Improvements
- Hard AI is now more challenging than Standard AI. (Main change is the units that get built and limits on detecting target in fog of war)
- AI squad can now run tactics while moving. (Picking up weapons/items, re-crewing vehicles, etc)
- AI squads being repaired or reinforcing will now stop moving.
- AI squads can now reinforce from half-tracks and will reinforce in areas outside of their base.
- AI controlled units that want to reinforce or repair will now move toward locations that provide reinforcement or repair.
- AI controlled half-tracks will now move towards squads that need to be reinforced.
- When AI squads fallback, they will fallback to the closest fallback location and not all the way to base.
- AI player no longer waits for one command point before trying to choose a commander.
- AI takeover for dropped players in multiplayer games will now use the correct AI personality.
- Easy and Standard AI difficulties no longer take targets in the fog of war into account when planning which targets to attack.
- Removed the AI class for medium vehicles and added the AI class for stationary infantry to better represent actual gameplay roles of different units.
- Soviet AI should build the Barracks less often and the Weapon Support Centre more often due to better code for breaking ties in building utility.
- AI no longer tries to build units to kill enemy bunkers and base buildings unless it has seen them.(Prevents AI from wanting to build mortars and AT in early game)
- AI will spend less resources reinforcing squads that aren’t useful.
- AI squads the have waited too long to reinforce will now become aggressive instead of standing in the base forever.
- Hard and Expert AI will now build more infantry units at the start of the game before trying to tech up.
- Soviet AI will now still build Penal Troops after Guard or Shock Troops become available.
- Easy AI no longer buys squad upgrades, and Standard AI now buys less squad upgrades.
- AI no longer uses Oorah, sprint, Steady Driving or Mark Target abilities because it wasn’t using them correctly and it was wasting munitions.
- AI will now try to use the Infantry Medkits ability on friendly units instead of enemy units.
- AI will now use Panzer Blitz less often and only when it is low on health.
- Adjusted ratings for Penal Troops, Soviet Team Weapons, Shock Troops, and vehicles with rear mounted weapons.
Balance
Building Functionality
Our goal was to improve the player’s capacity to make decisions when using garrisons within the game. To achieve this, we improved the readability of a garrison’s structural integrity, making damage more consistent and in turn making it easier to calculate the risks associated with the use of said garrison. Buildings will be far less prone to being knocked down to single attacks at full health as a result.
Building Critical System
- Removed the random chance for AOE weapons to inflict up to 6x their AOE radius when exploding near a garrison.
Unit Behavior
- Infantry flamethrower damage modifier vs. garrisons from 1 to 1.6
- Mortar damage modifier vs. garrisons from 0.25 to 0.75
Unit Animation Behavior Modifications
This change enables squads to fire within a 180 degree arc, better enabling them to engage other squads while executing combat maneuvers. Previously, their firing arc was far more restricted which lead to a loss of DPS when ordering squads to move.
Squad Combat Behavior
- Entities can now fire within a 180 degree arc

Veterancy Rework
Our goal is to make veterancy feel more unique and appropriate within the context of Company of Heroes 2. Specifically, we want to remove scenarios where veterancy began to modify a unit’s role and its counters. The new veterancy system focuses on improving a unit within the confines of its core role.
General
- Attacking a veteran unit will now reward 1.2x its base experience value per level of veterancy. In other words, attacking a level 3 veteran unit will award 1.6x more experience to better reflect their in-game value.
