Balance in custom games

The ranked game mode (Allies vs Axis) is in general relatively balanced, but that's not where this topic is about, but how is the current balance state between Allies vs Allies or Wehr vs OKW?

Maybe it's a weird question, but if you're doing for example a bo5 in a custom game with SU vs USF, is it just a matter of skill that decides who wins? or does one of the factions have a huge advantage over the other as relic only focusses on balancing Axis vs Allies.

Just wondering if doing brit vs USF or USF vs SU is still fun and viable to play :p

Ty :)

The answer for this is really simple

It's like that because the game was not meant to played in that way. Mirrored matches were not possible in CoH1 so it's a "new feature" that came with the second game.

But outside of custom games (meaning neither in any multiplayer mode, nor in any official singleplayer mode or TOW) it is never possible to have a battle between two identical armies. Relic simply doesn't want to take care of a possibility that is played by less than 1% of the players (in my opinion, as this was the second thread I have ever seen about this topic at all).

Oh haha, I see.

Yeah I just want to play some 1v1's with a friend of mine, and we both main allied factions, so I was wondering if one has a huge advantage over the other or not. For example that the brit player has nearly no chance to win vs USF if both players are equally skilled, but I doubt this is the case, although I don't know for sure that's why i'm asking on the forum. :p

I know your problem... My mate and I play almost 100% Axis but I would love to have a fight against him, haha.

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:

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

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.
