Biggest problem with all nerfs or buffs for DAK is the big difference between USF and UKF

While a simple flameht can be strong against USF and force USF to build t2 for bazooka or spend the ressources for nadeupgrade as soon as possible ...

UKF just chill with tea because boysat rifles will always be ready at the same time where the pio gets his flameupgrade. DAK just wasted early in the game manpower for a unit, which he need to keep on distance at any time and if not - its gone in 2 shots. First shot on long range = 50% hp less and if he try to get close for flamer, he will lose the halftrack 100%.

The general problem for DAK - the design is about a early-mid game faction with support of many light vehicles.
Fighting with just inf will bleed the DAK players manpower balance and will hurt in multible aspects. All other faction have the option to get manpower reductions in one way or a other ( upgrades - battlegroup abilitys ) and have in general cheaper infantry.

A 100% static fight in cheat mod with UFK IS behind green cover on long range vs pzgren in green cover results in a devastating win for the UFK with keeping all 5 models and 60% hp. 300 mp pzgrens stand no chance against 260 mp IS on long range. Even if kar98 would suggest something else, it is better in close combat. So testing maybe pzgren vs 220 UFK pios?
Yep - same result. All 4 models still stand with nearly 50% hp while 300 mp pzgren had no chance in close combat behind green cover. It is just a static fight under perfect conditions. But in general, DAK just bleed manpower in general. You can go closer with pzgrens against IS but while getting close without cover you lose HP and there will be pios nearby or mg, which you need to avoid because you need to tech for nades and flameht vs mg doesnt work against brit because of the point above.
I made screenshots but dont see where to upload here.

So since release, DAK always tryed to reach fast as possible for a unit like flakht or 8rad to gaining the upper hand in the battle against infantry or keep up with it.

Only problem with that is, at this time in a 4on4, UKF will already have at least 3 boysat rifles.

To test it a bit more hardcore, i just made 2 boysat squads on autoattack move against a flakht on autoattack move. First shot on long range sets the flakht on 50% hp - they get pinned, still get the 2. shot out and the flakht is dead. ( both squads close together so they got suppressed both at the same time, which isnt realistically for a real match because a flakht can never suppress the squads fast enough if they are a bit split.
Staying on distance works fine vs bazookas but boysat rifles have a really got range. There is only a very close line between risking your flakht against boysat rifles or finally pinning enough to force a retreat.

If the flakht goes down, at this point you just chill and have basically won your part of the map - centaur call in will be ready soon and boysat deals with anything what a "light vehicle" faction can bring. And because your units do fine without costing that much - you can easly affort still more than the low effort buildorder of boysat + centaur.

To solve flakht - you need to solve the whole faction design.
flakht is without a doubt good and in good hands it can be a pain in the ass. But you walk all the time on a very thin beam if it is against UFK. Any mistake and your vehicle is gone. You can invest even more manpower into upgrades - smoke, more hp etc. and still ... 3 - 4 boysat squads at the wrong time and your vehicles are gone before you can even think about smoke.

What other objects in Coh3 can be destroyed if you A-Move them?

I have heard streamers saying you cant destroy some cover objects.

I have seen Flame squads destroy items when attacking ground.

I have seen random items get destroyed from small arms fire. Things that should never be destroyed by small arms fire like 3 story fuel cells, walls, etc. This is a major problem for mappers and game play in general.

So it seems like most item are easily destroyed (too easy) but items are not targetable? Is that a word?

I don’t know how you guys play this, but looking at CoH3, CoH2 is an ideal game. CoH3 is just total spam, spam and spam is 1000 times worse than CoH2, there is no concept of combined arms combat here at all. And this was created by the top players in the Company of Heroes. Disgraceful.
