I remember that having pop cap issues with Ostheer is very common.

How do I remember that so well, you may ask.

Well, that´s always the point where I start to spam MG bunkers. B-)

Heavy tanks shouldn´t cripple your population in my opinion. Any limits to strategies are hurting the game. Not having the possiblity to field a heavy vehicle and a variety of sufficient support (including other vehicles as well) makes the game boring. Panthers and Comets should remain at the pop they cost atm.

Imho 20 is a little bit too much, maybe 18 is fair considering it at 200 fuel cost.

The biggest problem with the Comet is it doesn't know what its role is. Its a Panther but its also an MBT. Really, Tier 4 shouldn't contain any generalist tanks and certainly no concepts such as 'heavy mediums' (this goes for all factions).

The comet should be nerfed to normal levels but it should also be buffed at the same time and given a defined role. The Churchill needs to be evaluated and given a role as well. Both British end game tanks suffer from lack of clear defined role that they can function well at.

The Churchill and Comet need to be as strong as each other in a set defined role and no amount of utility will do that. Most British problems stem from nerfs at faction release and no fixes; mainly to Hammer/Anvil and British development curve through the match not being examined.

Currently Ostheer is joke. Because of popcap. Right now you cannot have 2 pios, 3 fighting squads at guns, mg and 3 tanks.

Why ? Because their infantry eats more popcap than tanks (stug - 8 popcap, pgrens - 9, pak ~ 7).

I think lovering the popcap for infanry and increasing popcap for tanks is the way to go

+1 on suggestion.

The only factions I have ever run into pop cap issues with on the regular are OST and USF. And I've always been able to circumvent pop cap issues with USF anyway.

Lol, well when you have 1000 riflemen, thats what you get

(Right now ostheer will have bigger army if they go 2 infantry squads and full tanks than support weapons, infantry and 2 tanks, :clap:)


add 4 men squad to your list, and after artillery become dominant, you got yourself a pure pioneer+tanks ostheer army

The problem is that heavies (particularly heavy tank destroyers) really do need to cripple your pop cap. Late game, heavy td + serious indirect fire + infantry support is damn near impossible for allies to beat in big team games. A supported heavy td is insanely hard for allied tanks to kill without heavy losses, and lots of indirect fire keeps allied team weapons off the field. What can allies do? Their options boil down to "try and fail to kill an elefant with bazookas" or "abuse broken offmap callins". If they don't have those offmap callins, they basically just lose. Increasing the pop cap on heavy tds would force axis players to make a decision. You can't hard counter all allied vehicles, hard counter all allied team weapons, and cap points at the same time, so you have to sacrifice power in some way. This is still a better deal than the allies get -- they don't even get the option of calling in a heavy td.

IMO, pop increase is not the proper way to deal with it. It just needs to be toned down. Besides, you never need more than 2 anyway.

Very convincing argument. but I think maybe Brit lategame being hammered down too much? seems to be the thing with Relic Balancing™, overnerfs and overbuffs. then again, with the amount of patches being very few due to relic's focus on other games, not like they can do a lot of patches with incremental changes hm? :/
I am not responsible for anything I say.

Brit late-game in which mode?

For 1v1, Brits still have their infantry sections, which have been untouched. For 4v4 there's always Fireflies.

Vanguard/Tactical Support/Mobile Assault are still top-tier commanders.

Also mortar pits :creeper:

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
Today, 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
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.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

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.
