April 20th Update

APRIL 20th UPDATE
BALANCE

Maxim HMG
We felt the Maxim HMG was overperforming in the early game due to its fast set-up. We also made adjustments to its build time and cost so it takes longer to reach the field and so it doesnt replace mainline infantry.
* Set-up from 1.5 to 2.
* Build-time from 24 seconds to 28 seconds.
* Cost from 240 manpower to 260.

Improved Fortification Upgrade
We have decided to reduce the durability bonuses this upgrade provides. We have also decided to increase the time it takes Infantry Section to build these Emplacements since they are not dedicated builders.
* Infantry Section now take 30 seconds longer to build Emplacements and the Forward Assembly.
* Improved Fortification upgrade now increases max health by 20% and armor by 10. Changed from increase in max health by 30% and armor by 40.
WAR PAINT SKINS RELEASE

10 Warpaint Competition skin sets have been added to the game and are available to purchase from the in game store.
30% of the proceeds from these skins go directly to the creators while an additional 20% is funneled back into funding COH2 tournament prize pools and community events to keep the game alive and well!
War Paint Historical Bundle
* British - Desert Rats Bundle by Choccy Starfish
* Soviet Two Tone 1941 Blue Steel Bundle by Puppeteer
* German - Assorted 3 Color Ambush Bundle by Starbuck
* US â Operation Husky Bundle by F_X
* OKW â Ardennes Improvised Ambush Pattern Bundle by Rita Rush
War Paint Fantasy Bundle
* British - Wood and Iron Bundle by Shriken
* US â Tiger Shark Bundle by Soul5tice
* OKW â Dazzle Bundle by Paid Player
* OKW â Anaconda Bundle by Soul5tice
* Soviet Hellbound Bundle by Grumpntug
MAP CHANGES

Balance updates to maps Hamlet and Crossroads by respective community map makers.
BUGS

Additional speech calls for Land Mattress unit.
Animator fixes to the T70 and the 222 scout car.
Normalized pop-cap on 120 mortar team.
Fixed a bug with hold fire not being passed to reinforcements correctly in every case.
Shock Troop's RG-42 Grenade now damages buildings and does full damage to units inside buildings.
Fixed a hotkey issue on airlanding officer.
Fixed an issue with the comet tank projectiles.

UPCOMING AWESOMENESS
BALANCE PREVIEW MOD

Next week we will be launching a Balance Preview Mod that includes a variety of balance changes based on feedback from the community. Stay tuned for release notes regarding this mod coming later this week.
WAR SPOILS OPEN BETA

In early May we will be running an Open Beta for all those who are interested in testing out and giving feedback on the pending changes to the current War Spoils system. The main goal of this beta will be to stress-test this system in order to find any remaining bugs and to gather feedback regarding any potential last minute tweaks to the system that can be made.

April 20 â Addendum

Hide decals option added to graphics options. This hides all vehicle decals on the players local PC even if they are equipped. Useful for players with highly detailed skins or skins that include markings.

Something seems so familiar about one of the changes. I can't put my finger on what

Inb4 to small patch whining.

So instead of fixing Counter Barrage that makes Advanced Emplacement so tedious to play against, they decided to nerf the hitpoint bonus into a very minor bonus.

I like it, really. Make Maxim cost 260 MP and set-up longer. Without buffing arc of fire or suppression...

I just don't understand, they last time buffed 222 scout car without increasing cost or something like that, but Maxim they nerfing without any buffs in back...

Is that some kind of joke - we will buff axis without balancing and nerf soviets without compensation...

Just don't understand... want to cry.

I mean it's a tough balance because you don't want to make counter barrage useless. Plus they can't build units with it on and it has a long cooldown if you turn it off.

I think build time changes are cool and set up is fine but I don't think they need to be 260mp but w/e no big deal.

no penal batallion changes

That... was underwhelming.

But there will be a balance preview for the real big changes later?

Yea, just understand it:

"We made Maxim worse, so it won't replace mainline infantry anymore". Ok dudes, what about BUFFING DAMN MAINLINE INFANTRY!? It still sux!

Why are you nerfing one unit for to make another more attractive? Buff Conscripts, buff Penals. Nerfing Maxims won't make Cons/Penals more popular - they still bad.

Penals are great right now.

yeah, just like T-34/76

Penals are great right now.

Yea, I guess that's a reason, why almost nobody use them and even don't build T1, prefering T2 with those Maxims... Right now both tiers are useless, well done Relic, well done.

Agreed. It has doesn't have a big effect in 4v4, which is probably why you don't see more gripe about it, but it certainly is game changing in 1v1, imo.

260 mp for maxim

'. No decent medium tank for soviet's. No decent mainline infantry.

Great.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol
Last Wednesday, 01:34 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

Last Wednesday, 00:16 AM

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

01 Apr 2025, 20:34 PM

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

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

01 Apr 2025, 02:53 AM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

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

27 Mar 2025, 04:31 AM

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.

24 Mar 2025, 02:46 AM

Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance
22 Mar 2025, 14:00 PM

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.
