i just played a few games with 203.. i was really upset that it has NO AOE damage... i hit a shot between 2 pumas. maybe like a inch away from both light tanks... and guess what... only like 20% health got taken away from them... imo it was so close they should have both died... but it didnt do anything... with all the scatter it has, its never going to hit anything.... and when u get really close to target it have small effect.....the howi cost-20- POPCAP!!!!! 203 has no use any more.. u hurt urself more by buying it... it needs to be what it used to be with out precise shot...

OP how? if u hit next to a unit..its just gna tickle.. i just tested it again and it has no AOE dmg. only if it hits direct it will cause some damage. sometimes still not get a kill with direct hit... out of how many shots is it going to hit where u want it? not very often. and if it hits close to target. the target dont take damage cuz no AOE. 122 and 152 howi are alot more useful.

You know how to make B-4 better? Make KV1s not suck so the commander is actually worth picking in competitive play.
Or just bring back precision shot but make it cost 150-200 Muni
Far as I know the AoE has never been nerfed on B-4 so yeah... it's fine as the RNG cannon that it is. If you think B4 AoE is bad then I can't imagine what you think about the British 25 Pounders that loft pillows at the Nazis instead of shells.

The dream would be precision shot and swap KV-1 for unlock T34-85s in T4.
Wait.... was this a thread on how to break the game? my bad

It's shit.
It's only useful when shooting at tank so close that you cannot miss.
Otherwise it's just wasted MP and pop cap 9/10 times.
Long time ago I made a thread with some propositions like 3 shells / each 240 damage with bigger AoE than ML-20 or keep it as it is but add quite long red suppression for units nearby.
Oh, and direct shot has to go through obstacles.

Diferent balance between 1v1 and team is unavoidable. Any decent 1v1 B4 would make it op in 2v2+ bs.

Halve damage, two shells with a long reload between each shell. Anymore and it's simply firing 24/7.
yo wizard tell me how much AOE buff will make 203 where it should be?im thinking like 10% atleast

I think halving damage and also reload time would be better. Thank this unit will be A) more micro intensive
B) player will be able to chose where second shot lands, there is small chance that anything will stay in artillery range for another 20 seconds after first shot lands there

i'd rather give the b4 a slight popcap (and maybe price) reduction instead of adjusting damage or aoe. the huge pop is IMHO what cripples it the most, at least from a 1v1 perspective

Keep the terrible accuracy it was given appropriately after precision strike days boost AOE and decrease shell travel speed to allow mobile players to displace. Suddenly changing this units theme is what made it so useles. Big punch with time to move will bring back Stalin's sledgehammer rightfully so after all other Howitzers got tweaked.

If you manage to get it to Vet 2 and have LOS (either from recon, or from units) then it isn't too bad and does fare quite well vs JT, KT & Ele. Its often pretty hard work getting it to vet 2 however due to the huge rng of it. Some times you will fire 1 shot and get instant vet 2 and others you might fire 5 - 10.
Second issue is that all the while the 1 click wipe that is stuka dive bomb exists, its useless (along with its vet).
Doctrine as a whole is OK imo. FMR is still useful after the nerf, if only for the run speed. KV-1 does need some love, starting with its old ROF back.

Halve damage, two shells with a long reload between each shell. Anymore and it's simply firing 24/7.
I made the following suggestion a long time ago but it didn't get any traction. It's kind of similar to your proposal.
Change the LeFH, ML-20, and B4 to 320 mp, 12 pop cap
shells:
LeFH - 4 shells, 150 damage at center
ML-20 - 3 shells, 200 damage at center
B4 - 1 shell, 600 damage at center (yes, it wouldn't 1-shot a full-health medium)
Revert the AOE of the howitzers to what they were a year ago (don't remember exact ranges). The current AOE is too small to provide any reliable damage. Give BB4 largest AOE, followed by ML-20, then LeFH.
vet abilities: smoke, artillery flare, -15% cooldown at vet 3 (don't bring back precision strike)
give regular shells suppression (but not enough to insta-pin), smoke would be smoke only
Make it so gun can't be destroyed while weapon is crewed, and keep the restriction on not being able to build in base.
This would greatly cut the number of shells while only slightly cutting pop cap to discourage building too many of them (could also put a limit of 2). It indirectly nerfs the counter (stuka dive bomb, IL2 precision strike) by having it affect a unit that is only half as valuable.
The old ML-20 used to be great for punishing blobbers. The current one is RNG garbage.

Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have.
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.

12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM
12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. 
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
