So far I've only played the tutorial. (Saving the others for when my PBEM buddies are ready to start) Anyhow, I have to say that so far the move to contact command is my favorite new feature. I gave the whole platoon this command approaching the flag from the flank and they stopped in unison and began fighting the enemy. The platoon leader kept his location relative to the rest of the platoon, thus not increasing his danger unduly. This is beautiful.
My experience with cover arc is a little mixed. Used it to great effect to take out the two T34s from the German perspective, but noticed that this command can make you very vulnerable if used incorrectly. ( A soviet squad came up and sat right nex to me and the men fired at another unit much further away that was in the arc) I believe this is exactly how the command is supposed to work, but it caused me a few problems.
The tanks C&C seems very real, although quite annoying as a Soviet. (I need that tank to move now, and it's not going to for 145 seconds because the command tank is buttoned up in a firefight with an AT gun.) :cool:
