Thread: Thoughts on Hammer and Shield and the remaining leaked BGs12 Dec 2023, 17:20 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2023, 09:13 AMHannibal Just no. Launch price for Western Front armies was 20 € (or 13 € for one faction). Even adjusting for inflation since CoH2's launch that's about 24 € today. The DLC should have included the content worth of at least one faction + a smaller goodie (some scripted missions or whatever). Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2023, 09:14 AMKatitof Pretty sure they dropped CoH2 ToW mission packs, because they were selling badly, which gave clear message that this was not the content players wanted. We're talking about free content for some dudes who were willing to pay more even before the game was release. Relic isn't going to give for free a new faction when cosmetics and a couple of commanders is more than enough by industry standard. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Thoughts on Hammer and Shield and the remaining leaked BGs11 Dec 2023, 19:47 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2023, 12:11 PMHannibal Why? The premium costs 20 € extra. Deduct 2-5 € for the couple of skins, however you evaluate their worth. Would also be fair to assume that those were the free bonus for giving Relic an interest free 20 € credit. Either way, this leaves 15-20 for the actual content. That should be a new campaign or 1-2 factions. At best a short single player campaign or coop missions. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Thoughts on Hammer and Shield and the remaining leaked BGs10 Dec 2023, 19:04 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2023, 14:21 PMTiger Baron I pre-ordered the premium edition thinking the expansion was going to be an Italian Army or something along those lines like I mentioned already. Otherwise I would have grinded out the BGs like I did with the commanders in CoH2 and I never really cared much about skins unless they were ultra realistic like a few ones in CoH2. Till Relic shift their mind from PVE, expansion or DLC main content is going to be focused on it, being solo campaign or coop vs computer. And you fool yourself if you believed they would simply give you new faction for free. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Thoughts on Hammer and Shield and the remaining leaked BGs9 Dec 2023, 20:08 PM You can definitively skip the 2 new battlegroups and still fully enjoy the game. You could also have farmed the ingame won credit to buy at least one of them if not both. It's nice to know that you can get them for free if you play the game regularly. We're now with a almost fully finished game. H&S is like coh3 Version 1.0. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Is Italian Combined Arms actually bad at combined arms?9 Oct 2023, 18:16 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Oct 2023, 12:44 PMdonofsandiego That's true. The extra 40 hp and smoke is nice. Still, that doesn't really help the fact that it's bad for combined arms using the BG infantry lmao. Right... if you don't use Bersas lmfao. I don't think anyone plays DAK with two panzerpios but I guess you're obligated to if you build the funny jogging italian troops. Look, here's my point: For a BG about "Combined Arms", it's a little silly that one of the units you call in is literally made to bypass the Combined Arms bonus. If you want to effectively use combined arms, you don't build Bersaglieri, you build Panzergrenadiers. And if you build Panzergrenadiers, the Carro only benefits from nearby Italian tanks. So at most, maybe you have two Carro Armatos with +10% reload bonus (A semovente, 2x Carro, which I doubt anyone builds because it's pretty prohibitively expensive compared to just getting a marder and an 8-Rape Armored Gape). And that's only if you wolfpack them around. Why would you spend all that extra fuel on a bunch of tanks that only perform a little better or are just a sidegrade? I didn't find the Semovente to be so good that it's a game changer compared to just getting a marder and a 254 to deal with MGs. I didn't find the Carro to be all that much of an upgrade to the 8-Rape. These tanks occupy the same timing of the Marder and 8-Rad and at the same time, cost more and are only marginal improvements over them, or even just a straight sidegrade. Am I missing something or what? You're missing the point they don't need specific tier to be called, and M13 work in pack of 2 or 3. M13 are also good enough to soft counter Stuarts and Chaffees unlike any other DAK LVs. Bersa would probably be OP to have them work with CA and retaining enough firepower without it. Those are already running fast enough and as long range squad they would obliterate anything trying to close to them. So anyway, as 1vs1 player I don't see what you don't like about this BG, but maybe on teamgame the fact that it is solely a midgame powerspike BG makes it have less value. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Is Italian Combined Arms actually bad at combined arms?8 Oct 2023, 08:23 AM They buffed the M13 with smoke and overall the T1 repair speed upgrade is also a boost to them. Bersa is in a weird spot, I never call them and prefer the vision and capture bonus from their tree side than breda upgrade. In: COH3 Central

Thread: is the coh3 game designer is a spy of coh2?10 Aug 2023, 06:22 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Aug 2023, 23:22 PMGachiGasm This is just not true. Even without bringing all useless call-ins and commanders, which CoH3 might as well have in the future, CoH2 factions have units which is completely useless depending on gamemode or just strate up useless in every gamemode. In CoH3 with so called "bloated faction", every single unit is played. Again, every single unit, for all 4 factions is useful and has its play in every single gamemode. You in fact, probably didn't even play CoH3, outside of closed beta, because your claims in this regard are completely wrong. +1 In: COH3 Central
Thread: At what point will you come back to Coh3?10 Aug 2023, 06:19 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Aug 2023, 19:09 PMGrim I came back today to try it again after a few months off. Namely because they added maps for team games. Tried a few 3v3/4v4 and the balance just seems to be really....bad. Worse then it was months ago by any stretch of the imagination. Combined with the lack of diversity as the remaining players play hard and fast by the meta or die. Bersaglieri spam is still as obnoxious if not more so than it was in the past. I dunno, I really held out hope for this game but the matches today left me realising this product is dead in the water and a misery to play. What's your ELO? genius question because for sure at low ELO level you'll find much more dumb strat and spam that works vs newbies. Bersaglieri spam for instance is probably quite easy to counter with early vehicle such as dingo or weasel since they don't have atnade and aren't even that good in fighting before getting vet and weapon. Now if you opened with 2 HMGs, you're going to be in trouble vs them. In: COH3 Central
