Everybody vote - do you prefer counters or sprites?

[Thegreatplant]

when I first got HOI 2 I tried both (in HOI 1 I used counters) and decided that the sprites just were not worth it at all.

I even later downloaded community made sprite packs - and again decided that while much better than vanilla - I went right back to counters

One thing I would like to add... Could we perhaps get the option by devs to do something like this:

Air counters: yes/no
Land counters: yes/no
Naval counters: yes/no

The boats are the only sprites I'd actually like to use in combo with land and air counters...

Counters. Sprites deleted.

Military men have no use for taste, only practicality.

 

[Ivir Baggins]

Counters. Easier to count.

 

[Inner Circle]

Sprites FTW!

 

[ddudee]

Sprites or death

 

[Chromius]

Counters and Coffee

I do like the idea of being able to use Land counters and maybe Air/Sea Sprites though.

I personally like Sprites. Speed isn't an issue with this game ( even though I've got a fairly old laptop ) and it gives me the feeling I'm playing Risk. It is more immersive for me.

Counters forever

 

[Khalep]

Counters, certainly.
They're far more practical, and I like them.

Counters 4 Lyfe!

It's not a matter of taste at all. If sprites gave the same amount of information just at a glance, I'd happily use them.

Risk is more immersive?

Sprites, because counters are unreadables when you have stack of 40 units.

I use counters only for scenario or with little country.

And I think Sprites are more immersives, Counters are more realistics.

Counters, because its much easier to have a better idea of my forces with them.

 

[Jarno]

both depens how i feel.

 

[Pal]

Counters are clearly superior. Sprites are useless.

+1

Counters, except that I never remember what sign means tanks o

You're pathetic.

sprites.without them the game would be to strict and there would be a big lifeless feeling.

counters are stupid.and stop spread myths.counters dont improve speed

Heretic! Burn him at the stake!!!

Sorry mate, but with sprites it feels like kiddy play, which war should never be. Counters are very authentic and (for me) they increase the immersion substantially.

Sprites. My computer is fast enough so I don't have any problems with game speed. I don't like counters because I hate those high stacks (Barbarossa preparation looks ugly with the towers) and the game looks boring enough without deleting the last animated thing in the game .

To those "sprites are unnecessary eye candy for little babies, all you need is clear information" players:
We don't need to see which unit is where on the map, we know where every single division is and it's exact equipment .
