Assault Engineers and Vehicle Crews are Useless

The difference between AEs and sturmpios is their effective range. Sturmpios deal far more damage at mid range. AEs deal next to no damage until you are nearly point blank.


Yeah I've been playing a lot with AE's since this thread started and so far they seem a bit random. If one can close the gap then they perform well, but many times they get cut down closing the distance. Maybe they could use a slight durability buff such as modified accuracy received modifier or something.

I can't really commenton Assault Engis since I haven't used them much, but..

I think we can all agree that Vehicle Crews are great for massively reducing the downtime of damage USF vehicles. But spending 90 munitions on upgrading them with Thompsons? Oh dear god, no.
Saving the crew of a destroyed tank might be worth it if the veterancy for that vehicle carried over to any other vehicle (or even vehicle of the same type) you put them, in but alas...

So yeah, I'd like to see the Thompson upgrade removed and replaced with something useful that is similarly in the spirit of an Armored commander- maybe an upgrade for vehicles/tanks similar to the Panzer Tactician smoke launcher (But not actual smoke- the Sherman and M8A1 get that already).

but alas what? thats how it already works. vehicle crews transfer experience to any vehicle they get in.

Love assault engineers.

That Crew thompson ability is baffling to me. I don't think I've been able to use them (nor even been compelled to even try) in a game.

Should be replaced by the ability for infantry units to ride on tanks, with an accuracy penalty to prevent kangaroo syndrome and a chance for models to be killed if the tank is hit by AT fire or runs over a mine. this would really fit more into the mobile/utility aspect of that commander.

Now, THAT is an AWESOME idea! :)
Relic, please make this happen!

WFA trailer showed USF tank riders.

But Soviets should be able to do that nondoctrinally...

I definitely agree with all your statements. I don't like Ass. Grens, but at least some find uses for them.

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:

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.
