it's also why you can basically attack during your own barrage and suffer no damge/casualties even if you get hit point blank


I think this is a clear sign that the arty is underpowered.

Low range(almost as Soviet 120mm MT), long recharge, bad accuracy, low damage, That's = Sexton. ever the vet 1 creep skill still suck.

I was in the same school of thought as you guys but then i realised during a match how everything in the doctrine just clicks.

If you use the flares. not only is it better than a recon run but it lasts quite a while and it allows your sexton to dish out some accurate fire thanks to the vision.

The valentine is basically an 80 fuel sight track that can defend itself and the sexton. Think about it. it has smoke to defend your sexton if you get rushed. the wallhack lets you see where his troops are worth bombing and the vet 1 ability lets you override the cooldown on sexton.

The 100 muni arty is amazing for the simple reason that you can call it down through the fog of war.

The only thing that's meh is the 12 cp sector arty to be honest.

This doctrine works best vs okw and going for comets with piats on sappers. piats are awesome btw.

Tl;dr sexton is pretty good with the doctrine's perks. OP munis and have fun.


the 100 munition off map is laughably bad. Not only does it take forever to actually start shooting the shell is also laughably bad. I would rather have it require sight in exchange for a buff. As it is now it's just a way to throw away 100 munition.

the valentine takes up the same 12 pop as the other medium tank. The sexton barrage on the valentine is useless as you're unlike to have more than one sexton anyway.

the sexton is bad. Having easy sight doesn't really make up for it as it's a huge warning to your enemy and it cost munition.

It was good back in alpha, before very single ability got butchered with nerf chainsaw.

Vs okw its a pretty good doc. it forces those leigs to reposition . that seems to be the only solution to staying alive. calling in commmandos to decrew them is a close second option but a lot of okw players rush to get the flak base up for passive leig defense.

It is bugged IMO. Even the old ISG was better. Probably the developers are trolling us.

whole Royal artilliery regiment sucks.
4CP - Concentration Barrage - sucking. nobody is hit. waste of 100 ammo until anvil upgrade.
8CP - Observation Detachment "Valentine" - need minor buff. AI capability or AT capability needed.
9CP - Artillery Support Group "Sexton"- you use and you lose all. need major buff.
10CP - Perimeter Overwatch - need minor buff.

I copyrighted the term Suxton before it was cool.

It's like a Priest except worse in every way.



Pfft, yeah, well, I was hating on the Sexton less than a day after the Brits released!

I agree with you on performance, but by the time I'm even able to build a valentine I could have a cromwell instead. It's really hard to justify investing in a valentine + sexton combo at that stage of the game.

Early Warning - useful
Concentration Barrage - useful
Valentine come in 8 CP. WTF. Puma come at 5 CP. KV-1 come at 8 CP!
Sexton is crap everyone knows that.
Perimeter Overwatch - overpriced.

personally, I think everything about the commander pales in comparison to every other British commander. "Early Warning" definitely is the least underwhelming though. Concentration barrage feels a bit too weak for what you pay for.

Yep price Concentration barrage may be reduced. For example 80 ammo would nice.
Valentine no some bad but:
1) 8 CP Karl!
2) Nerf main gun.

No, it just doesn't deal much friendly fire damage. Same is true of all arty.

Then I guess it must be bugged, because it would seem it sees enemy units as friendly units!

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.

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.
