Flame Damage Stacking mechanic?

Hello everyone, I was reading the other forums and came across an excellent post by one "Vipper" (I don't want to take credit for what I see as an awesome idea) while discussing how to fix the flame damage dealt. Since the critical damage was removed (or heavily reduced not too sure to be honest but I'm sure someone will correct me) flame weapons have not had the same effect they did before. His suggestion from what I can understand was to add increasing stacks of damage the longer a unit is exposed to flame damage. Of course this would only apply to units susceptible to flame and the stacks would have to decay quickly once out of the effected area. So what do you guys think? worth a look at or no?

worth further testing.

Infantry based flamers were buffed, "flame effects" such as the various barrages/artillery were just straight up nerfed. This could work for those that didn't get the increased crit chance or AoE like the infantry flamers did.

i was unaware of the infantry flamer buffs. Is this in the change logs?

Units with flamethrowers will no longer have a chance to explode until they are the last unit in the squad
No more flame criticals above 50% health.
Flame AOE Damage increased from 0.25 / 0. 625 / 1 to 0.4 / 0.7 /1

nice, ty

Would still like to see some sort of stacking mechanic to discourage infantry squad neglect with regards to flame weapons. Might help the flame half track find more use.

I think they are fine as they are. Infantry flamers are reliable and do not cause ridiculous wipes anymore. FlameHT is also fine, the only unit which needs some love is KV-8.

In general I think this will complicate things.

SHOUT IT OUT!

aerafield: @LimaOscarMike I would say nowadays is a decent time to try CoH3. If you loved CoH2 however, there is a solid chance you're gonna dislike CoH3

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

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.

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

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

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

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.
