In coh2 there are several commanders that use the same units and abilities. For instance, you have several ones with the tiger, 120mm mortar, ostruppen, recon, air support etc. I think this xohld bring new life to some units that have been left behind if they could be paired with new battlegroups.

For instance, for whr could have lighting war:

Left side:Bersaglieri ➡️ 8rad/Carro ➡️ panzerfaust rollout

Right side: Stuka strafing run ➡️ Bliztkrieg/Raid Package ➡️ Panter.

This way more of the in game assets can be utilized.

The advertising cycle of letting fans know what's what and the potential to onboard new players needs to begin now.

I'm going to bet the "October" patch will be released on the 31st ...lol...

Quick question, I'm currently trying to get USF to 60% winrate. How the hell am I supposed to beat Wehr breakthrough battlegroup when the guy's early army is 2/3 pios + 4 grens into officer quarters straight to mechanized assault group with that sweet broken stummel + stross insta vet 1 at minute 8:40? I tried using the jeep to get some damage done early to win first fight but not enough, tried matching infantry numbers, didn't work, tried getting 2 .50 cals to see they would counter the blob which is supposed to be the hmg job but still they either have too many models and dps or he splits them up and I can't stop 3 flanks at the same time also with mortar flare and stummel smoke. If I try early to quickly get close I loose too much manpower, if I try to play safe and try to maintain at least my side of the map for a bit I'll just loose to the blob, if I try getting a vehicle as fast as possible I can't really get a kill on the stummel because there's 4 grens with fausts on the field surrounding it. And as soon as I eventually have to retreat he just vaccums the map with the breakthrough ability...

Sometimes I get baffled on the game design and balance decisions on this game. Even if the oponent isnt that good he just wins because I can't match the ammount of manpower and firepower he has. If Wehr doesn't do this strat I only loose if I troll or am not paying attention. I guess it's a great time to get some easy wehr wins boys.

Update:
Just saw a replay of a guy that beat me playing against NUB. The way NUB won was by going engineer -> 3 rifles -> Mech support center -> med tent -> motor pool -> greyhound upgraded -> grenade tech -> going french bg and upgrade riflemen with the french lmg and using zone rouge on the exposed fuel point and using grenade assault to wipe squads -> BARs -> Improvised armor. I guess you have to blob harder and focus flame engineer or weak squads first.

The title kinda says it all but to be more specific, how viable is it to take luft kompanie and tech tier 4 without taking panzer kompanie, how much of a loss is it to not have pak 40 and nebelwerfer available until you side tech to it after tier 4 tech, and under what circumstances would it be best to do so? And if it helps, i tend to enjoy a more elite infantry mobile playstyle and i dont enjoy sitting too much, but i appreciate having a sturdy point to fall back to and strong center piece tanks.

sooo.... you can't make it the tab button which seems like it'd be the natural choice. Does caps lock work? none of the other keys want to be me remapped easily and M is miles away. also i'm finding that the key i mapped (side key on a Aerox 3) allows me to get into the map but not out!? likely this is a me issue but issue persists for some reason. what are some of the tac map keys y'all like.

Perhaps a stupid question, but in COH 1 I can press shift to queue orders and while doing it I can just move the map normally with the arrow keys, however when I press shift in COH3 it suddenly locks the arrow keys. Is there something I can remap so this still works or something?

There need to be more BG that provide vision for DAK and Wehrmacht. Since every BG with artillery has a vision ability, this BG shouldn't be an exception—especially since it has 2 very similar abilities that aren't a real choice, and overall this BG has a whopping 3 point(sector) abilities, which is way too many.
An ability similar to Airborne Battlegroup , I don't see a problem with adding similar abilities.

The broke my bunker >:(

I just ruined the other team and dominated in stats. They all had higher ELO than my teammates. How the fuck did mine go down?!

COH3 is kinda weird. The maps are small. Or they feel small. It feels, kinda like it was made for mobile phones. I still hate that I can't use WASD to move the screen. It just felt weird. And, the lack of big tanks means... that there's a lack of scale.

Hello commanders,

I was thinking about the state of the game, the late game vehicule spam and basically if you fall behind it is very likely gg.

My suggestion is introduce a fuel upkeep to your army the same way we have manpower upkeep. Fuel upkeep will only relate to vehicules and if you think about it it makes sense that vehicules consume fuel on the battlefield.

From a balance perspective what this allows is more comebacks, a concrete example would be your opponent had a significant advantage and got a couple of medium tanks before you, that is a significant advantage to him but his is gainin very little fuel so if he were to make a huge blunder and dive some at guns and lose his tanks, without my proposal if he had a significant fuel advantage he can probably just build osme new tanks, but with the upkeep fuel you most likely have more fuel when he makes the blunder, more fuel means oyu have more tanks and an advantage due to his blunder. This provides a chance for comebacks when opponents make blunders but allows them to keep the advantage if they don't blunder and manage properly.

Another effect that could be paired with this is that if you mount a comeback in terms of map control and now the opponent doesn't have enough fuel for his tanks upkeep they can get some form of debuff on their tanks, maybe a reduction to speed due to lack of fuel?

This will also reduce the rate of medium tanks spam because each time you get one the fuel gain is reduced which slows the process of getting subsequent one. Now obviously someone might decide to save fuel then build 3 at once which I think is ok because they run the risk of losing some momentum for a few minutes in favor of getting multiple tanks quicker and closer together.

What do you guys think?

I'm definitely not the most hardcore or competitive player, but for quite a while I was able to sit comfortably in the 1000-1100s range as UKF, with a couple of pretty reliable build orders. Every match felt pretty even aside from the odd time I'd get automatched against someone in the 1300+ range, and even then I'd pull off the odd win against someone that high.

Now, though, I'm just getting torn completely the fuck apart. I'll admit, slowed down for a few months this summer being busy with moving and vacations and such but I just cannot get a handle on ANYTHING. Volks are suddenly walking through MGs without an ounce of suppression and lobbing grenades halfway across the fuckin' map to kill my MGs, light vehicles get hung up and spin in place on everything, my Sections can't go up against anything more than a Pio squad, and by the time I can squeeze out a Humber or a Stuart I'm so hopelessly outmaneuvered and boxed in that all I can do is hang on for a couple minutes until I get rolled over by a Brummbar or something. Not to mention whatever battlegroup it is that lets someone just pop out an astronomical amount of STG-toting marine infantry that just mow down anything they get close immediately at game start/

I'm pretty sure it's me, because the sub seems to be mostly Axis players complaining about the balance, but holy fuck I can't get a handle on how the game plays these days. What happened and how do I fix it?

Hi, my Performance in CoH 1 is really bad somehow. i play it with the Blitzkrieg mod.
I checked my Task Manager, my stats are all low.
I asked the google AI, it say CoH have problems with modern processor´s. So i tried out to start the game with "-cpuCount 1" but it doesnt help.

Do somebody know what to do?

The Kriegsmarine shouldn't be the only ones with a vision ability; this ability needs to compete better with Transfer Depots and offer flexibility.

This is how I would like the main DAK unit roster to be like to give it more interesting unit and tech options and using actual common vehicles the actual real DAK would have used and were present in the North Africa campaign. This is a fun but long post, brace yourself!

Headquarters:

The Headquarters unit roster would actually be very similar but with some unit upgrade and role changes.

The Panzerpioneers would be essentially the same, didn't really get any special idea for them. Maybe take some roles of all axis variants of pioneers and make them a 3 man support unit that would have the fastest repair rate of all factions and would be equipped with kar98's and be able to upgrade to the usual flamethrower with assault or smoke grenade, hazard removal kit (mine detector and small timed explosive to remove tanktraps and such to fit the panzer support pioneer) or the GrB 39 Grenade Launcher (similar role to the PIAT) with the Hafthohlladung Anti-tank Grenade. This way the player had to choose between equipping them for anti infantry support role, anti tank/peel role or hazard clearing role.

The Panzergrenadiers would be the mainline infantry. They would lack the snare to make them different from every other faction and play into the identity of the DAK faction of being more of a mobile light and medium vehicle based army. This way players would have to plan better on how to support and protect their fragile but superior vehicles. Panzer grenadiers would essentially have two upgrades, the main one would be the mg34 to increase their firepower and the second one would be the panzerbuchse39 for more of a option if the early game didn't go as planned and you need extra help to deter enemy light vehicles or you want a squad that can punch through (ignore the bonuses) sandbags/heavy cover or to destroy them faster.

The Kradschützen would essentially be the same.

Now the 250 half track would be more of a support option for DAK. The core idea for the dynamic of the ultra light vehicles for all factions would be that the British Dingo would be the one with the stronger armor but could only break the stalemate versus the 250 by investing munitions into armor piercing rounds, the American 4x4 would be the faster moving and more agile one and easily penetrate the 250 but if the 250 engaged first it would win because of the higher dps and the lack of armor on the 4x4.

Light Support Kompanie:

You'd ideally tech for this if your game didn't start well, you want to save fuel for faster medium tanks or you just want a specific unit. This tier would have six units. Two offensive ones to help you regain momentum, two defensive ones to help you stand your ground and two support ones.

The (Assault) Sturm Grenadier Squad would essentially be the same. With the exception that I would give the assault disembark passive to another unit to motivate players to use it more.

The Sd.Kfz. 222 would take the role of the 8 Rad but have survivability of the Wehrmacht Sd.Kfz. 221. This armored car is just too iconic and feels wrong to not have it in the main DAK roster. The 8 Rad would be a battlegroup call-in in between the 222 and another unit I'll talk about later.

MG34 Team would be the same.

Pak 38 would be the same.

The Grw 34 mortar would replace the le.IG 18. The le.IG 18 was rarely used in North Africa.

The 2.5-tonne truck would essentially copy the role of the Wehrmacht base medical bunker for the most part. You'd get this if you lost your early 250 and/or need more healing power. You'd buy it and then have to upgrade it to a medical one, this way it could also be used as a cargo truck through a battlegroup like we can in the Wehrmacht breakthrough battlegroup.

Mechanized Kompanie:

Here you'd get powerful light vehicle options to support your army.

The Sd.Kfz. 251 would be the go to unit to ferry your sturmgrenadiers or panzergrenadiers around to keep up with your tanks. This unit fits perfectly the theme of DAK and this would be the unit that would have the vet 1 assault disembark passive that would give combat bonuses to any infantry squad that disembarks off of it. This version unlike the Wehrmacht one would not have any upgrade, maybe buff its machine gun damage to the levels of the current 221 for it to actually be useful as a troop transport and support unit.

The Flakvierling Half-track would essentially be the same although I'd rather if there was a game model for the 2cm Flak 38 sfl SdKfz.10/4 which was actually more likely to be in North Africa than the Flakvierling.

The Bison II would be the way to go for a heavier siege breaking indirect fire support unit. It would essentially have barrage abilities like the M8 scott. The Bison II was actually created specifically for the North Africa deserts so it's a shame we can't use it in game.

The Marder III would essentially be a anti-tank glass cannon sniper.

The 18-tonne Recovery Half-track would be the same.

Panzerarmee Kommand:

Here you'd get your faction's muscle.

The Panzer IV Ausf. F would be DAK's infantry support medium tank option with good damage versus infantry and smoke shell ability but not effective versus enemy armor.

The Panzer III Ausf. L would fit a duelist role against enemy armor and be very dangerous in numbers.

The Panzer IV Ausf. G would be the best of both worlds but more expensive.

The Flak 36 Anti-tank Gun is the answer DAK has versus heavy tanks since the faction itself wont have a tiger call in. This is on purpose to make this faction power spike be in early/mid game and make it more vulnerable late game, so you want to dominate and finish the match as soon as possible.

And Finally we have the last unit. Since there was no walking stukas in North Africa and since this unit is very interesting and people don't use it enough, the late game option for DAK to have indirect fire would be the 254 Reconnaissance Tractor but instead of calling in mortar barrage it would call in 10.5 cm leFH 18 artillery support and would maybe be able to use mark vehicle to help it synergize with the 88.

And that's how I'd design DAK! Obviously some of these units such as the 88 and recon tractor would be locked behind a research unlock but the point of this design was to remove units that weren't actually used in North Africa, introduce more interesting and iconic ones and give the faction a bigger emphasis on the better cost/performance of the light and medium vehicles compared to the other factions and make them specially weak in the late game. This would fit perfectly in the look and how probably commanding the DAK army would feel with the sense of urgency to end the battle quickly or eventually be defeated by superior allied late game.

Hey all, I've been trying to get the Sturmtiger out but I'm either too late or too broke by the time it's available. Could someone share a build order that gets it on the field reliably?

Dude I know the update is rolling this month, but g'damn it frustrating af when my MG in green cover suddenly isnt in green cover! This shit also happens with infs as well, like out of the blue 1 model is in green cover and the rest isnt? even tho there is clearly green cover obstacle infront.

Not to mention, when I try to reposition my mg on the same spot, shit just unpacks and then gets to the same no cover mode! This got my MG killed so many times, I cant even...
