So, I'm curious what is your faction of choice, and why? It doesn't have to be the one you use the most, but your favorite faction in general. This is a thread of open thoughts and opinions, so do not be afraid to share

.

Have a great day!

USA! USA! USA!

Best offensive unit synergies ingame (.50 cal and rifles, Sherman + Jackson, Jackson + m20, M15 + pack howie, it goes on.) Core units have smoke that lets you attack and harass, weapon racks let you increase firepower so your attacks are better, and vehicle crews allow your vehicles to never stop attacking. Oh, and riflemen that from the 1st minute allow you to cap the map, harass, and never stop attacking.

I live for the assault, and fluid combined arms with an aggressive and hard edged focus. I like it when my forces' core troopers are savage dogs of war armed to the teeth with automatic rifles, RPGs, machine guns, and every grenade you can imagine. I like it when the best healing platform ingame doubles as a reinforcement point that my Riflemen can retreat to. As a 4:00 M20 brutally guns down the defenseless enemy with it's .50 caliber machinegun, I realize it. In command I live to attack, and this is why I play USF.

Because I only own the Brits?

And because no other bugger was going to vote for them.

USF. Because despite what some people say, their design and gameplay is very fun in top level games(ignoring the fact they have a hard time against snipers).

Ostheer (WHICH ALWAYS SHOULD BE THE ACTUAL NAME FOR THEM) and their combined-arms versatile armies will always be my favourite.

Ostheer. I like that they rely on combined arms and have all the essential tools to do any job. They might not have any elite infantry but their stock units are more than capable.

I like Soviets too, but i wish more of their stock units weren't useless.

I want to like soviets.. I really do.

But I'm just better with Brits.

I would vote for every faction there, besides Soviets who I allways disliked (dunno why, maybe faction design, the uniforms lel).

1. I like OH versatility and multitude of choices;
2. I like OKW sturdyness and the trucks idea (the possibilities it offers);
3. I like USF easy-to-playness

because of the LOLblob;
4. I like UKF elite-feeling and the fact that is so hard to play that you realy feel rewarded when winning. Also I like their incredible usefull Offmaps/Dotrines.

A lot of people have an image of how they want a faction to play, leading to problems. This is why you have people complaining about lack of Soviet bunkers, why T34/76 sucks, why Cons don't scale, Grens don't get normal grenades, Muricans don't get heavy tank, OKW laser weapons and Die Glock Death Bell, etc.

Last Tuesday, 15:50 PM

Willy Pete: I think it was nuts with any engine damage. Especially on superheavies
20 Feb 2025, 07:03 AM

aerafield: Personally I think without the ram ability, it's worse than loiters for example
20 Feb 2025, 00:09 AM

Willy Pete: It combined well with most slowing abilities, not just ram stuns
19 Feb 2025, 23:36 PM

Willy Pete: Only??? I think not being able to shoot it down and the ramp up effect also had something to do with it

adamírcz: Might be onto somethin here, combine side armour existing, maps where flanking is a viable option, and hopefully also heavies actually being less manouverable than mediums (lookin at you coh2), and it might be fun gameplay
17 Feb 2025, 13:39 PM

Willy Pete: Shouldn't coh3 heavies actually have insane front armor values? The glory days of 400+ Kt armor wouldn't be as bad when side armor is a thing. Not to say its a good idea lol
14 Feb 2025, 23:14 PM

aerafield: But then again, maybe CoH3 superheavies should actually have insane armor values because the whole game is designed for the clumsy & inept anyway

14 Feb 2025, 23:04 PM

aerafield: It's like you have to coordinate an entire orchestra of abilities and the correct units, meanwhile your opponent just clicks his 1 superheavy tank occasionally...
14 Feb 2025, 23:01 PM

aerafield: the giga frontal armor also made these units too oppressive in average or low ELO games
14 Feb 2025, 22:59 PM

aerafield: Massive HP pool but reasonable amount of armor is way healthier design
14 Feb 2025, 22:57 PM

aerafield: Say what you want, but the titanium frontal armor design of coh2 superheavies was bullshit. Too many bad players not getting punished for their bad micro because penetration RNG carries them
14 Feb 2025, 22:57 PM

Willy Pete: Also the attack ground with the pak40 looked perfect, that Pershing should be dead
14 Feb 2025, 19:18 PM

Willy Pete: Ahh just saw the other one that died. Some bad rng I think but there was an AT gun at med range for a chunk of that fight
14 Feb 2025, 19:14 PM

Willy Pete: Which KT? I saw one got almost deleted but it also showed its side to a hellcat AND the m5. I think the player even admitted he got lucky
14 Feb 2025, 19:10 PM

Lady Xenarra: I understand that the devs want to sell the Allied part of the DLC, but the KT got swiss cheesed like a COH2 bunker on treads

14 Feb 2025, 15:16 PM

SupremeStefan: They should make dlc separataly for axis and alies
14 Feb 2025, 10:28 AM

SupremeStefan: 25$ is actually a ok price for 40 abilites = 8 commanders = 4 battlegroups. But problem is that it comes in bundle
14 Feb 2025, 10:24 AM
