This post leads me to a unit that should get some attention: The Sturmofficer.

The unit is more or less in a good spot™ after the changes but has awful synergy with Pfussies in Breakthrough doctrine. Pfussies needs tons of munitions for their G43 upgrade and the Sturmofficer is also VERY mun intensive if you want to use his abilities. Add the mun costs for mines, sweeper and med kits... and you know why i wrote about "awful synergy".

This is why i would like to suggest a radical idea:

1. Remove the Sturmofficer from Breakthrough
2. Make the unit a stock unit in Battlegroup HQ


This changes would have the following benefits:
1. The mod team can add a unit/ ability that has better synergy with Pfussies
2. Battlegroup HQ gets finally more attractive!

I really cant see any disadvantages and the mod team already did the same with the Airlanding officer for the Brits. Hell, the Brits dont even have to make a tech choice to get the chance to build the officer.

And lets be honest:
Even after this change BG HQ will still be considerably weaker than Mech HQ.
But BG would at least offer more than in the past.


i would prefer 1 CP intead 2CP.
And there's no reason to start with a lugger...
for his price...vet1 should replace by a stg44...
it is just one model...
vet 2 less ammo for abilitys
and vet3 another model.

Changes to Command Tiger seem to be in right direction although imo it is better to replace the tank commander ability from the commander instead from "Command Tiger" itself.

Panzerfusilliers
Removing a vet bonus especially from unit that is "designed" to have very good vet bonus is step in the wrong direction imo. Simply replace it with something else.

Sturm Tiger/KT restriction is probably a good change.

IR 251 Half-track changes are not enough to make the unit desirable.
The unit should at least have the same sight radius of other vehicles of 50 instead of 35. Even M3A3 has sight 50.

In addition consider other bonus like the ability to cloak and launch flares available to Ostheer 251 or additional utility like timed ability that allows to search and clear mines.

Imo other solutions providing unique bonuses should be at least tested.

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one that remembers that Sturm Officer exists. :D While he's one of my favourite units in the game and I hate the fact that his synergy with things in the only doctrine he's available in is absolutely horrible, I don't think that making him non-doctrinal is a good idea. Making him 1 CP instead sounds much better.

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 :clap:

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
