IS fix for the time being

It is my honest opinion that IS should be a bit rebalanced before people find out how to make the whole faction work (there is a lot of talk about that I guess).

Moving accuracy from 0.5 to 0.4 and target size back to normal since they don't die they just stay half HP and 4 models with the same god damn DPS while your units die.

It is so annoying to play against them even though they are not unbeatble. And even more boring to play them now when I can just build 5 IS at start, spread them out and mow down inf.

Just to point about I play 2v2 and 3v3 so idk about 1v1 and 4v4.

Kind of agreed. Why don't we move normal IS RA to 1 and make covert bonus like -0.15 in green cover, or roll back moving acc to 0.35

Its either moving acc or ra. Not both.

Why nerfing IS is taking so long. Its obvious that they need an urgent fix.
What is the balance team doing? Arent they working?

You do realize that patching a game that is not yours can be quite complicated?

Normal RA would be 0.80, that's what they were before the overnerf. Balance team decided to revert half the nerf from 0.90 to 0.85

Personally I don't like messing around with core survivability because it's just punishing to four man Tommies (which were fine before any changes) and cements bolster and massed builds even more.

Dude. JLI used to cost the exact same as volks but spawn from buildings and camo and snipe models and was like that for months. If they took a look at Tommie in 3 weeks it would still be fast. The game is not friendly for tweaking and the people doing it are doing it for the community. They aren't getting paid to do it. While I don't agree with everything they do they are absolutely doing more than relic so give them a break.

Roll back RA to 0.8 both in and out cover, moving acc to 0.35, cost back to 280. That what i think.

"since they don't die they just stay half HP and 4 models with the same god damn DPS while your units die."

Thats just RNG, I can show you many examples of tommies dropping models without even taking much health off the enemy.

"I can just build 5 IS at start, spread them out and mow down inf"
But you can't, it wont work, get a light vehicle out and it's GG, Volks can also spam like that but be more sucessful as they can faust, tommies can't.

The issue with brits is they have no other fighting units, look at every other faction and they can build different units for different situations, UKF however has to rely on the tommie section to fill all the roles. Even trying to use sappers as a CQC unit without anvil is just horrific so tommies have to be strong. If you nerf tommies too much it kills UKF, if you buff them too much, it fucks everything else up.

I honestly think tommies are in a good spot 1v1 wise, I would probably put 5 man behind tier 1 though especially in team games where blobs of doom for any faction are devestating and the 5 man isnt really punishable by LV's as much as it can be in 1v1's.

Adding to that, just because something -seems- to be a problem for you, does not mean it is actual problem.
You just see blobs - newsflash, all units blobbed are OP, regardless of state.

Remember that 3% mid-close range buff where everyone spelled doom and gloom when it hit, problaiming USF a faction of literal T-1000 terminators? Well guess what, it magically balanced itself a month later without anyone doing anything and I've got strong feeling the exact issue here here.

https://imgur.com/a/diaCTP3 this is what I am talking about. This happens only to brits. I never see volks like this or cons or penals or anything. Only IS. Well to be fair it sometimes happens to other units too ofc but when we ale talking about how often it happens IS take the cake here.

It does happen to all other units too but Infantry Sections do seem to get it slightly more often. No idea why though. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps because of their lower target size (0.85-0.8) they have enough effective health per model to endure a full clip of Kar 98K rounds, after which there's a good chance that the reloaded Kar 98K model targets another IS model. Rather than focussing down one model per reload cycle. But I don't know how targeting works exactly so that could be wrong. It might also have to do with the IS' squad formation never really having one model in front (as opposed to for example Grenadiers who move in a V-shape formation).

Maybe. Idk why it happens but like you said happens to IS more often. Seems to happen to sturmpios often too. But doesn't seem to happen to other 4man units that often

Bolster needs to eliminated if it can't be adjusted to differentiate 4-man sections from 5-man sections. I've made and seen numerous suggestions on how it might be done - is there no hope for any of them?

It happens to Obers and JLI's a lot, in addition to Sturmpios. I don't see it happen a lot to any USF or Soviet units, nor Grens so Sander might be right about it being affected by RA.

Not 100% sure, but what I remember from test is that infantry does not switch the target in a static fight. But for movemrnts I think it is different, as another model can get closer than the originally targeted one and cause a target switch

so instead of chasing retreating squads it would be more logical to stay there?

That is a different story. For most units and in most situations it makes sense to chase squads.
But I was talking about how a soldier picks picks a model of the targeted squad. Nobody knows exactly how this is determined, but I am sure (this means I saw some values referring to this in the editor) that distance is a factor. So if another enemy soldier comes closer than the originally targeted one, this could cause a target switch.

I was always under the impression that this does not happen that frequently, but Sanders post read as if this was regularly the case, and he is way more experienced than I am.

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.

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.

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.

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, 03:52 AM

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?

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
