Lately been wondering why I'd even want a Tiger as Ostheer in 1vs1. Smoked PIVs have the same anti-infantry power for a far lower cost, and the mobility to quickly switch sides to exploit the lack of mobility the ISU brings.

In your opinion would a command P4 + 2 P4s be better than 3 P4s?

Nice game btw.

Nice game btw.

The command tank buff is nice, but the vehicle itself is clearly worse than the normal PIV against all targets since the big PIV gun buff (no pintle, bad penetration, not particularly good even against infantry as the gun is much worse than on the stug e) so I tend to feel it's not worth going for a commander with the command tank.

Personally I'm dying for a vehicle smoke+officer commander. That would work so well, but alas, it's either officer or smoke and with those two choices I'll always pick the smoke.

This guy is weird, he kept focused vision on his ISU the whole time even when it had damaged engine and was being attacked???

With regard to the P4, it's good against infantry and its medium population makes it easy to spam, but I think its main problem is penetration. At 120 max that is pretty low.

3 P4s or 3 Soviet Shermans.....

These Ostheer replays are great, it's so rare to see good replays of these now, upload more of these

.

ISUs are one of the hardest match ups for me, and it's either tiger spam or P4 spam against ISU. When heavies are tied to tech, 3 P4s would definitely look like a much better choice.

It's hard to get enough population to have 3 P4s + panther, or even 3 P4s + tiger ace.

Here's a thought: command panzer could help reduce tank dmg and inf getting wiped if you're just defending until u get a panther (with several P4s to fill the early gaps and do AI & soak up mines and dmg in a flank).

SHOUT IT OUT!

aerafield: @LimaOscarMike I would say nowadays is a decent time to try CoH3. If you loved CoH2 however, there is a solid chance you're gonna dislike CoH3

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Osinyagov: Suddenly, coh2 is slowly dying, but you can play it, playerbase still big enough

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
