Fighting positions are the USF's missing link

IMO fighting positions can be tweaked to rectify the current USF early game vs OST and late game vs infantry spam issues that the majority of the player base is experiencing while also increasing the amount of viable strategies and encouraging more diverse army composition. These tweaks compliment the USF themes of versatility and mobility while not being OP.

-allow fighting positions to be refunded for a 80% return in MP. Think of Terran Bunkers as an example. This would promote construction of fighting positions early game.

-allow full ability usage (with some exceptions like satchel charges and defensive stance) from within fighting positions. This change lends itself to very interesting tactics. A forward retreat point in a fighting position, and Riflemen throwing grenades come to mind.

-remove the MG upgrade, and allow MG teams and possible mortar teams to go inside.

Yeah, fighting positions refund would be pretty great.

One thing I don't get about fighting positions/units garrisoned in bunker/trench - why do they have to be AOE deathdraps? One grenade will kill an entire squad, mortars and other things of that nature frequently wipe/severely damage the entire squad. A 30MU grenade should never ever wipe a full health squad IMO. Grenades should have like a max damage modifer added - like do a max of 160 damage, whether that is absorbed by 2 models or 6 would just depend on how they are stacked.

Garrisoning inside FP/Bunker/trench is squad suicide.

relic fucked up in this game; grenades are supposed to be garrison counters but the only ones they end up countering are player built ones, those tiny wood bunkers, and the wood buildings on Mud that they blow up in one hit.

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

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
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

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?
25 Mar 2025, 18:27 PM

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

Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance

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.
