Thread: 44FPS with a 3060 Laptop20 Dec 2021, 18:29 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2021, 17:57 PMGoldenpunch Probably your ram is the cause of the problem. Try to add 8 gb rams to your laptop. Also run the game only. No background apps like chrome or discord. Just the game. I also run the game with 8gb RAM and it runs like butter at steady 60fps. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: OKW best beginner faction?20 Dec 2021, 18:28 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2021, 18:03 PMEtherealDragon I'd say OKW is generally the most straight forward for beginners but Lady Xen makes good points below if your goal is to improve at the game. OKW's more crutch-y features that make it beginner friendly only take you so far. Soviets would be my close second vote. Tier 2 support weapons and T70 as a mid-game light vehicle gives you all the tools you need to get good at fundamentals of game. The only thing that might be more difficult compared to OKW is Conscript-only strategies can be frustrating as they take some skill to get the most out of since your don't get non-doctrinal weapon upgrades or elite infantry. I'd say Soviets are somewhat more reliant on commander choice but it's not too bad to find commanders that fit your playstyle while you get more game experience if you need a commander with elite infantry/heavy tanks etc. Also the most forgiving imho. Lose Volks in the middle of the game? No worries, schwere is coming with obers and muni they become killing machines. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: coh3 cry thread20 Dec 2021, 16:45 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2021, 15:58 PMRMMLz I agree. Even data suggests this. A lot, and I mean A LOT of people buy these games for the single-player experience. RTS, especially the Relic formula, is niche. They need some sort of a hook in terms of the single-player for the "Normies" to be financially viable. We shit on Relic a lot but they have been supporting CoH2 even for years, and they are trying to please both sides. I agree that we as long-time players are always "excited" for anything, and trust me "normies" like any kind of competently made RTS (In terms of technical issues and visual design) that is in WWII. What I mean by my question were the technical state and the "possibilities". I should have been clearer, however, but apparently, people believe that they are doing this with a good engine with much fewer limitations which makes long-term maintenance of the game more convenient. I have not played CoH 2 in like... 4 years (God I am getting old), but I feel like the way you do. I agree. Relic is a good company. They make some shitty moves, but I cannot imagine my life without COH2, which they could easily just shut down. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Sib's Honest Opinion on the Current State of COH320 Dec 2021, 14:23 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2021, 12:03 PMHannibal I had the feeling that vehicles are stronger now, especially the light ones. Units like the 222 were harder to damage with small arms, snares actually only stun all vehicles now. Tanks on the other hard were beefier, at least that's my impression. That's the design goal. The devs said they were taking vCOH as the gold standard and that is how vehicles worked. 222s could eat an infantry squad for breakfast and PzIV were actually a really present threat in the battlefield. Not like now, where a snare is an actual threat to a vehicle damaging its HP pool. Anyhow, I like both designs. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Coh 2 game director Quinn Duffy left relic20 Dec 2021, 13:38 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2021, 10:51 AMmrgame2 pre-order on hold this is worrying. coh3 alpha was lacking innovation to its core mechanics. no additions. no improved maths AI/physics models just staying safe with existing designs with role swaps here and there. sadly this is the end of RTS genre i love for the same 24 years. Where is the break through to match the computational powers we have today I feel you there. We have amazing CPUs and GPUs but no artists to make those tools shine. Remember AOE2? The game that ran on like 8mb of RAM and a 255MHz CPU? Ye that game made us feel like fucking kings and titans due to how well designed it was. Or C&C? Or Sims? We missed school to play those games and when they could not run we could not wait to grow up and build our own pc to run them. Now we grew up, but the games are not there. The vision is not there. Fuck COH3, I want RTSes back in general ;-; In: Lobby
Thread: OKW best beginner faction?20 Dec 2021, 13:33 PM Yeah well OKW is my favorite, so my answer will be biased. It is, for me, the most flexible and forgiving if you know what you are doing. Granted, it is an "all or nothing" faction meaning that if you make a serious mistake in placing your trucks it's pretty much gg. What I like about them is that their inf can pretty much decimate any enemy up to 10min mark and after that it scales great as supporting. Schwere can lock down cutoff to avoid supply shortages. Be careful in putting it too far, one mortar and one at will shred it. They have by far the best late game arsenal in terms of armor and elite inf (SS Stormtroopers, aka Obers). Almost all of their commanders are top tier. HOWEVER, they have some major downfalls that make or break your game. No T0 MG, meaning that you cannot secure a fuel point from the start. Also, one mass retreat means you lose all your flank in the span of 10 secs due to the absence of any forces protecting it. Their teching system is very messy. If you want healing, you are limited to MG and Mortar. If you want aggressive play and rush Luchs, you cannot heal units unless you can micro crates or have the fire commander. So to sum it up, OKW is the best noob faction and that is solely by the fact that most Level games end by someone having superiority in light infantry forces which OKW excels at. Other than that, play with any decent human and you can see for yourself the areas that OKW is shitty at. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 2021 UKF Guide20 Dec 2021, 13:21 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2021, 21:39 PMCODGUY UKF has an incredibly unreasonable amount of side techs (some of which are also unseasonably priced) that should go bye-bye. The main one is probably bolster. 35 fuel for this is absurd, even more absurd it's placed behind T2. The community by and large has wanted to neuter this faction and they've without a doubt done it ovwr the last few patches. Imo UK inf is the strongest and most scalable mainline in the game. So it seems natural to put a lot of sidetechs on it in order to avoid it becoming OP. At least that is the reasoning. I wholeheartedly agree to delete UK faction, though. Shameless cash grab that got outsourced. The could have done so much. In: UKF Strategies

Thread: Poll on new zoom out level in CoH3 alpha20 Dec 2021, 13:17 PM I just don't want to see COH3 becoming more TotalWar-like. We already got a turn based style campaign. I don't want to click on icons. COH was never about that, and anyone who says it was is a normie. In: COH3 Central
