Im fine with the artillery, just the camo needs to be changed or removed. Its a disadvantage
Tank Hunters is much worse than Guard Motor or Mechanized for Tank Hunting - no Mark Target, no advanced medium or heavy TD. It doesn't have tank traps which makes it more difficult to use mines effectively, stun mines aren't anywhere near as good as Tellers. The camo is great for Cons but not good for Su85's.
IMHO i used this doc some time and it just need:
1. Rework of ptabs - give engine damage like regular snare works, it will help to chase enemy armor.
2. Replace ML-20 to another ability - mark target could be very good, but it also can make balance issues when used togetger with ptabs. More better give some specific ability: like "Smell of prey" (sounds stupid, but good reflect identity) passive ability for all your light and medium tanks, they will get speed bonus when to them near enemy armor with crippled engine or with shocked crew (after hit on light AT-mine or after ptabing).
The main power of this ability are at-cons, they are very powerful, but...hunter is someone who chasing his prey, while in this doc...you don't have anything for chasing. All abilities are very static and it always meaning that you must wait your enemy to catch him in trap. It's very close to brits sim-city, OKW and OST defense doctrines, in terms of gameplay. More proper to call it "Advanced anti-tank defense". But while other doctrine gives you not only AT defense, but AI also, in this doctrine you have all abilities works only against armor.
Add tank traps to the mine laying ability, fix the cluster bombs, and I think the doctrine will be fine. It's not meant to be a normal doctrine, more of an ultra specialized one to fulfill a specific purpose.
I personally would rather see the B4 in the doctrine than the ML-20 for thematic purposes, but it is not really necessary.
TBH it does have a vet1 one shot Tank ability so it would be perfect. And we need the meme canonin more commanders man.
It was being called a liar about it in numerous threads and the shout box that got annoying.
Then can you imagine how annoying it is to be called a liar when there's absolutely no evidence of it at all? I gave correct facts and tests and you still called me a liar... I only bring up your mistakes because I didn't make any on this topic yet you still accuse me....
It's analogous to taking a math test in the first grade, answering that 2+2=6, then having your elementary school teacher shout "Liar" at you every time they see you. I do understand what you're saying though, and will try to be less thin-skinned.
WTF??? There are so many things wrong with this analogy. First of all, you are always allowed to go look up the correct answer. You literally admitted to being too lazy to check it yourself, so I had to provide it for you
Second, I'm not your fucking elementary school teacher. I have no responsibility towards you whatsoever, and you're not a child. And it's not just that you got the cost wrong. You got the cost wrong while saying the ability wasn't worth the cost....
The Commander is not bad by any definition. Just because it's not the very top of the meta doesn't mean it's bad

Just out of curiosity, is this the first time you've caught someone being incorrect about something? I see people like Vipper do it all the time. What I don't see people Vipper do is take it to the shout box, calling the person a liar, then bringing it up in every thread about the subject. Also, when you back up the obsessive, insulting behavior with angry demands for respect, you're probably not going to get what you want.
Also, no matter how much you insist, this commander isn't competitive. I've never seen it in a tournament or even any high-level replays. If you're that convinced it's good and I'm a lying troll, put out a poll on it.

Dude did you even read my post? I don't think you're a lying troll. Okay you made a mistake, no problem with that, I've done it on several other topics
The problem is you asserting the same argument even after realizing you had multiple details wrong. And accusing me of lying when I have had my facts straight the entire time
Do you really not think you've been equally/more insulting to me? Have you read your own posts? Only one of us has been saying the other is stupid, and that's you. I never said anything about your intelligence, I just said you were wrong about specifics...
Now its a mistake and not a shout-box worthy lie? Okay.
Redo your bombing run tests with a PIV with the bombing run parallel to the axis of the tank like people would use it in game. Then come back here and post the best and worst results, instead of just saying that it does 960 damage (or whatever number you claimed). The on-axis results that I got were usually in the 160-320 range, which isn't good for 180 munitions. You had to have ran the tests a bunch of times and know when it doesn't work well, so, IMO, you were misleading when you said it's great. It would be like taking a couple of UKF or OST victories from the WCS tournament and then saying there was nothing wrong with the faction, because somebody won with those.
Then run that same test with the strafe from the new airborne doctrine that costs about the same.
Now its a mistake and not a shout-box worthy lie? Okay.
What are you talking about? And you've been calling me stupid the entire time, so what's your point???
I have explained multiple times that the ability is not good against smaller targets. I don't know why you're asking me to test it against things I already said it's not good against. Mediums are fast enough to dodge any bombing run if you're paying attention
No one is demanding respect btw... Asking you to stop calling me stupid =\= "demanding respect". I bring up your mistakes because you're calling me dumb...
Then run that same test with the strafe from the new airborne doctrine that costs about the same.
You're comparing a super precise ability to one that is meant to cover a larger area. The rockets don't stun/blind either, and they are much easier to dodge imo
And I already posted a test with a parallel run in the last thread, it can still do good damage on that angle on heavies
IMHO i used this doc some time and it just need:
1. Rework of ptabs - give engine damage like regular snare works, it will help to chase enemy armor.
2. Replace ML-20 to another ability - mark target could be very good, but it also can make balance issues when used togetger with ptabs.

It will not cause a balance issue as mark target and il2 co exist in isu guard commander.
I think to make this commander replace tank camo with recon and ml20 with b4.
I don't know about you guys but soviets have limited commanders with recon. Not even airborne commander has recon.
What are you talking about? And you've been calling me stupid the entire time, so what's your point???
.
Well, I was thinking that you may be done with your fantasy world where I, for some nefarious reason, am making up many lies about one of the best Soviet commanders, and you are here to save the ignorant masses from my evil machinations. I was clearly mistaken.
One of your favorites is how lied about the timing. In parts of your fantasy, you said that I came up with such a crazy amount of time that even I admitted I lied. Here's what I said about PTAB timing.
The PTAB will kill a few models but doesn't normally wipe squads or anything. I can post a replay of that if you want to see it but its over an hour. I tried it a bunch of different ways to see if there was some way that it wasn't pathetic, but after trying all different sorts of targeting, couldn't find a way that it wasn't pathetic. I tested it on Minsk pocket and was getting about 9 seconds from smoke to impact if the bombing runs went along the long axis of the map.
You could've watched it or ran the test yourself and saw that I wasn't lying about the timing. Instead, you invented your fantasy world. Are you going to call yourself lazy for not checking?
For everybody else, here is a video where you can see the delay. The only thing that I would agree with Sky about is that it does work better against Panthers and Ele's (which I didn't check originally). My testing was originally against PIV's, where Sky later admitted that it doesn't work well.
IMO, the timing on this is slow for something that is intended for anti-armor. I'd rather have the rocket strafe or the anti-tank overwatch, both of which are good as is.
I'd like something like this for a revised commander:
2cp - PTRS Cons (give them tank traps and maybe tellers in addition to ATG's, take away armor detection and give back molo's)
2cp - Camouflage (needs a little rework)
8cp - B4 (bait - something to dive at (shamelessly borrowed from Wingzero and others))
9cp - Command T-34/85 (set limit to 2, give mark target and same recon as UKF command, maybe reload aura, standard stats but slight increase in cost, becomes standard T34/85 if abandoned)
9cp - anti-tank overwatch or maybe IL2 rocket strafe
This probably wouldn't displace any of the heavy tank meta commanders but would be a solid commander that you could use in any game mode.
You could've watched it or ran the test yourself and saw that I wasn't lying about the timing. Instead, you invented your fantasy world. Are you going to call yourself lazy for not checking?
My favorite part of that video was where you specifically called it in at the longest possible angle for the plane to fly
It's slower than the IL2 precision strike I believe, but saying it's always 9 seconds is absolute nonsense. Like every bombing run in the game, it depends on position of the target and your angle...
Yup. Frag bomb did slightly more damage but only cause it's way more concentrated. You can see PTAB covers a WAY larger area, which is why it's easier to hit with in actual in-game scenarios where tanks move
It's also why it's much better against KTs, Jagdtiger, elefant, than regular tiger. More surface area to hit
You literally complain about me calling you a liar while you lie about what I've said. It's honestly entertaining at this point, so go ahead and continue if you want
The "sky later admitted" part is just a treat. You care more about fighting me than just discussing the game.
You're literally going to more effort to insult me than you do to look up correct stats for your argument. Incredible
LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet? Yesterday, 05:10 AM
Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good. Yesterday, 04:43 AM
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. Yesterday, 04:39 AM
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. 27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point. 27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy 27 Mar 2025, 04:31 AM
Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ? 25 Mar 2025, 18:27 PM
Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. . 24 Mar 2025, 02:46 AM
Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance 22 Mar 2025, 14:00 PM
Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box... 20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him. 20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3. 18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please. 18 Mar 2025, 16:47 PM
Rosbone: #RelicModdedEchoChamber 16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned. 16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying... 16 Mar 2025, 16:36 PM
aerafield: @adamírcz aren't the first two disconnects free every day? 14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM
Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community. 14 Mar 2025, 12:07 PM
adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic 14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product. 13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM
Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have. 13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake. 13 Mar 2025, 19:57 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it. 13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes. 13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users. 13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes??? 13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it. 13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny. 12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points. 12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting. 12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me. 12 Mar 2025, 04:07 AM
theekvn: + 33% dmg rear hit was best deal ever. 12 Mar 2025, 04:00 AM
theekvn: KT just need fuel debuf from 15% to 50%, Ele arc of fire- aim time improve and they are good to go 12 Mar 2025, 03:59 AM
theekvn: and please Rosbone,I know you hate Coh3 to the bone due to your drama with relic, Still, Can you give a proper point of view instead of raging ?. 12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM
theekvn: you rather go 76 to unity Whizbang 2.0 or go home. 12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: also US tier 4 is 145f and Sherman pen 140 nerf is too much. 12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: Whizbang lock behind CP, meanwhile stuka is techtree progress 12 Mar 2025, 03:51 AM
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong. 07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back.... 06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem? 06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs? 06 Mar 2025, 12:13 PM
OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked! 06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
Willy Pete: Cool you wanna lose your stock lategame arty too then? 06 Mar 2025, 03:20 AM
Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. 05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
