I never bothered with this ability before this last patch. I've been playing some British the past two days and have been using this ability every game to see how well it works. I had heard it was buggy before, but I'm not getting any bug. It's firing the shot, but no treads are getting broken. Just some temporary engine difficulty on the target and then they are fine (well usually it's under attack by other stuff and gets destroyed). So, is this ability supposed to do some kind of horrible permanent damage to the target, like immobilize? The description does mention that there are two outcomes, I just keep getting the one that is easy for the opponent to recover from.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

You are supposed to wait for the 2nd shot to fire too.

If you move after firing your first shot the ability cancels without refund.

You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

First Shot:-60% speed, -70% rotation speed, -70% maximum speed.

Second Shot: Immobilizes for 7 seconds.

hmm, so it's not as horrible as an m6, but timed right it will assure destruction. Sometimes in team games a bunch of my allies will send a gang of tanks to a heavy tank destroyer. If I sent a vet1 AEC it would be screwed.

Do both shots always penetrate (I figure this is an obvious yes but thought I'd ask) and do both shots do damage?

That idiot thought he won. In fact, he was wrong. Completely mistaken.No M3 he what things are not，just one moron.
The German oil scarcity, rare tanks cannot fight the Allied torrent. Kill the house to kill the German oil.
Every time lose may feel bad. Probably not the word lose your subconscious. Maybe I win you Not for the first time Maybe you you should go to recall,

As far as I remember testing this ability, both shots deal damage. I'm not sure about pen though

1000 penetration (guaranteed), 40 damage each (as opposed to 120 damage for vanilla shots).

Maybe, but let's see how the AEC fares with the current stats and how Brits fare with their current loadout first.

One issue with AEC starting with snare from Vet0 is that the snare could come out of the blue, before you've even registered this as a threat. If the snare comes earlier, it should be considerably weaker at Vet0.

The AEC has spent 1 year being a no-brainer choice. Let's see how it fares now that there are tradeoffs to make.

As it is now, it's a very interesting ability. Making the AEC a useful unit at all stages of the game.
Good job.

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

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

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.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.
