There’s a 6 page preview up at Games Radar. Nick Carota and Josh Mosquiera both provide quote action for the interview. There’s a ton of screenshots available as well. The most exciting thing I read was this…
Carota continues: âWe spent all this time doing the believable squad movement, and the vehicles frustrated us, because we had big plans for these formations, but just didnât have the time to implement it in CoH. Visually, seeing intelligent behavior from your units is very important, and the believability factor was quashed a lot when you saw a whole bunch of vehicles doing the dirty.â
The less than underwhelming vehicle AI/movement in CoH has always frustrated me. I play axis and when I manage to get a couple of tanks together for a push, order them to attack, only to throw my hands in the air and start cursing at them when they start to bump and grind on one another.
Thanks to Antiloop for pointing out the article!

Totally agree on movement of vehicles. I’ve lost battles over it, forgetting that they are so dumb they run infront of each others fire trying to line up. Must control them separately and total tank micromanagement in a squad based game always seemed silly.
No link to the article though? Going via. a forum thread ain’t very quick :)
