Thread: The negative user reviews are infuriating16 Mar 2023, 11:27 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2023, 21:12 PMRosbone As predicted 9540 on Wednesday. Its almost like I know what I am talking about. Why are you so interested in a player trend of a game that has almost no multiplayer by the actual standard of game industry. Relic has release first the single campaign on PC, then will do it on Console and then is going to put in place the multiplayer layer. All what matter today is the number of sold copy of the game because they are the primary source of revenue for Relic. So first the PC release, then Console release to get the maximum revenue from it and at after that implementing the multiplayer's layer to milk players with in-game transaction. Multiplayer in RTS games is probably not seen as a viable source of revenue today even it is probably good enough to sustain the franchise once the maximum of copy are sold and so the maximum of players interested in the game already reached. So Relic will proceed first to sell the game to the many on what matter the most for players: The Solo campaigns. Then, and if the game sold well, they going to release the multiplayer layer because there is no reason for them to put the extra effort to release it first if it didn't attract enough players.

I don't know if it works all the time but he probably has some positive result at his level if he posts it. In: COH3 Central
Thread: DAK Redesign12 Mar 2023, 18:00 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2023, 11:59 AMAftermath Balance and design are really 2 different questions. PE in Coh1 is viable but relative to the base factions its poorly designed. OKW when Volks had Schreks was 'viable' but yet it got completely redesigned. The problem you raised of 'giving DAK an option to counter LVs rush before getting a Rad', is actually fixed in my MOD due to rejigging the tech tree, making Paks and Panzerjägers more available. Regarding balance, I actually have the total opposite view, I really think they should do the design changes first and then balance after, as the balance will always change after the design does. For instance, the nerfs they are making to the base stats of the Wirbelwind for Wehr right now make little sense to me because, presuming they make the call-in tech dependent like they did in Coh2, its performance will change after to reflect the tech costs being factored into it. Its the same with DAK, I don't see how this design will not change in the long term. As for why change it, I explain this in my initial post; the aggressive linearity, the kinda broken deployment system etc. But have you tried out my MOD? You could give it a go and see which you prefer? I'm totally open to changing things based on feedback and reasoned argument. To re-iterate, I think making the design concrete should be what the devs should prioritise right now over balance. The way the faction is designed works, what it needs is balance. So a soft counter vs LVs could be re-balancing the HT-AA or by giving an option for the 250 upgrade. PZgren are just overpriced for what they deliver, nothing to do with design. There is no need to mix everything when Relic can just move the cursor for individual unit. In: COH3 Central
Thread: DAK Redesign12 Mar 2023, 10:07 AM I don't know why you want to reinvent the wheel with DAK, the faction design is more than viable atm, the problem is overall faction balance, giving DAK an option to counter LVs rush before getting a Rad and rebalancing PG to something relevant. Then from Light tanks to heavy tank the Marder does the job of counter and the Pz3 once upgraded goes toes to toes with anything Allied faction can field. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Wehr Grens are utter trash12 Mar 2023, 10:02 AM Brit Tommies are simply too strong with whatever upgrade you give them. Then if you add the guards, gurkhas , commandos it becomes simply an OP faction. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Allied uber AT infantry RULE12 Mar 2023, 08:07 AM I once experienced a PG vet1 / LMG in green cover losing to a Tommy vet1 reco squad with no cover on a mid range fight. Almost lost the unit because I thought they would win and didn't supervise them. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Allied uber AT infantry RULE11 Mar 2023, 19:07 PM Why do you need to combine arms when you can play brit and exclusively build tommies boys, create 3 blobs and counter anything. No need to build a single vehicle or tech, you counter everything in the game. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Your DAK build order for 1vs1 and other10 Mar 2023, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2023, 14:39 PMturbotortoise I like double PzGren openings but I'll echo Garrett's point, they're vulnerable to snipers, so perhaps leave that for against the Desert Rats. To that end, the Assault Grenadier battlegroup is an -OK- sniper counter, but arrives fairly late, and can be easily countered by screening Bazooka teams or ABZooks. ALSO If the US Player streamlines their build there's a good 3-4 minute window where you're vulnerable AND you lose the Panzer Jager squad which is the only thing that can bridge the gap until an 8Rad. It's rough out there for DAK in duels. I see the Bersaglieri spammed in conjunction with the Spaghetti Tank often, Guasto's are fun but arrive late and are susecptible to the above, perhaps even to a worse degree. In the tests I was going: Pio 250 250 L.Support Combat Half-tracks -> Upgrade 250's to MortarHT Guasto Fire Support Elements Guasto Pak38-B.Gruppe Healing Opel Not sure that works anymore. Whatever you decide on I think it needs to involve getting an 8 Rad out ASAP. Atm 250 are bad and badly overpriced and impossible to vet. Mortar HT is only relevant vs teamweapon spam. --- Reading people responses, I've updated a bit my build and included a 250 before Light Company so I can fit a flamer inside and roam a bit earlier, I had some success in a game vs a vetjeep start shutting him down and forcing early surrender with 80% of the map under control. I also faced a path/sniper start and wow, para can drop so early, its disgusting. I think my build is good enough vs sniper because PanzerPioneer are rather cheap and long range so you can put some pressure on him and at the same time cap the rest of the map. On the other hand panzergrenadier are so bad its pathetic, I only build a squad to tank and let the panzerpioneer do the killing :/ In: COH3 Central
Thread: Your DAK build order for 1vs1 and other10 Mar 2023, 11:18 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2023, 10:17 AMKatitof While I can talk from 2s perspective, that BO looks like "I want to be massacred by M3 quad" kind of BO, which arrives before you can get jagers and counters jagers. Wut? I don't get you. If he build a M3 quad I can build a Rad or pick Italian infantry or combined arm. What other unit do you build on the 3 first minutes of the game that counter the M3 quad? I can also decide to go T1.5 and get a pak38. But share your build, I'm curious about it. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Your DAK build order for 1vs1 and other10 Mar 2023, 09:24 AM Curious about it. I tried so many and failed so much that I felt really bad until I found one working quite positively with all doctrines till now. I share mine but I'm curious about other. Starting PanzerPioneer 2x PanzerPioneers 1x Panzergrenadier Light support companie 1x Assault grenadier Then it depend on what my opponent is doing. The 3 panzerPioneers allow me good capping power while retaining enough firepower and the really good point about this build order is that you don't wait, you can queue the 2 panzerPioneers right from the start and once the second is built you almost have 300mp for the panzergrenadier. The panzergrenadier provides enough stopping power for the first push associated with a Panzerpioneer and once I have the assault grenadier squad I can start pushing left and right. Then it depends on the map and faction, I usually go Mechanized companie so I can pump a fast marder if I need it but it also depend on the doctrine I select. If you present you build order for other mode, just specify it on your respond, I haven't played a single teamgame so far and I'm also curious about it. In: COH3 Central
