I know CoH is not about hardcore realism, but they add this little crazy thing as infantry skin.

I have to say, in coh3 the skins are alot less appealing due to the presentation within the store.

Coh2 did a it way better, given in coh2 there were no infantry skins.

Welcome to Company of Heroes: Vanguard. Here you will see:
- Black Prince, prototype ready after the war. In Africa 1942-1943, with the wrong model.
- Thompson SMG with night sight
- a set of ugly non-historical skins

Don't miss this year's hit Company of Heroes: Vanguard.

People are retarded or something ? Because if they think this skins look conteovesrial i have no hope for this community. I get it that Thomson got scope but what u see during the battle is that brits infatry got darker olive uniform, seriously? For uneducated people "Cod skins" means pink,gold or halloween skin (like in coh2) or from anime (like in coh2)

let's add the fact that coh3 is much more historically accurate at this stage because it doesn't have stinky Russians fighting in Hamburg

Fair enough Stefan, but remember the promotional material for coh3 back then, where they proundly mentioned how they did "research" and went to museums and shit to have the most authentic ww2 experience?

The criticism is valid, albeit its kind of pointless since the black prince happend.

Quinn Duffy has already said exactly the same thing about the CoH2 company. And so, for the sake of historicity, they went to the museum of St. Petersburg and the Seelow Heights. But the end result was political propaganda.

So this is not the first time Relic has lied.

I'll start to get concerned when they try to pull battlefield and introduce female cyborgs into ww2.

Its just shitty made german night scope




Assembly of it tho makes zero sense and honestly looks stupid.

But I mean, they already had it installed on the tanks (skin for brummbar) and it was never used on tanks during WW2 I belive. Ok it was used.

So its not such of a big historical accuracy offence, just retarded looks.

If a night vision thompson has you shitting bricks, wait until you find out about the Halloween/Valentines day/anime/sealife skins and Comets, Shermans or KTs roaming around the Outskirts of Moscow in CoH2

Wouldn't go crazy about this. The skin overall not appealing. The Thompson just looks stupid. The fact that it is non-historic is a downside, too, but wouldn't be overly dramatic about it.
The uniform is authentic it least and could have been there. When playing, you won't see the Thompson, it is much too small. I will only see it when I use the replay feature and can zoom in to see the cool battles up close. Same with casted games.
So overall I will start caring about this problem in.... december I guess.

I would be fine if CoH 3 took the "alt-history" style and really ran with it tbh. Everyone complained about the Black Prince but it's in the game so fuck it. Bring on the crazy shit.

The only reason I was making fun of the infantry skin is because the renders always look so odd.

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
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 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:.

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.

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...

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.
