Thread: Balance thoughts?28 Feb 2023, 18:11 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2023, 07:03 AMdonofsandiego I don't know if this has always been a thing, or just something that's been added recently, but the american M18 AA halftrack shoots down the AT loiter planes nearly instantly, even with a single vet zero halftrack. Glad I'm not crazy. I played a 1v1 where my opponent rushed one out and it instantly shot down any paradrops I tried that weren't in my base - pretty sure he just had it parked right outside his base but the combination of range and firepower meant it covered basically the entire 1v1 sized map. The fact that you can lose paradropped squads that way is interesting but it didn't feel very fair being on the other end of it haha +1 to the change to damage only decrewing emplacements is a terrible change from COH2. Combined with auto-reinforce HTs it's just a different flavor of toxic sim city. Even if it just did minor weapon damage then at least you'd be able to slowly wear down campers but right now it's maddening to build the direct counter to something and feel like you're literally making 0 progress. That's the only two egregious things that I've noticed so far anything else is probably too soon to really comment on. (1v1 perspective) In: COH3 Central
Thread: Best Place to Buy Coh317 Feb 2023, 21:52 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2023, 18:35 PMUberHanz I found this on HelpingHans channel: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/company-of-heroes-3?ref=helpinghans 52.79 € cheapest so far Steam has it on 70 € for me - but I live in Switzerland, we pay mountain supplement Thanks for the tip. That's the cheapest I've seen as well. Any idea how long that promo runs? I entered the raffle to win a game code and was going to see if I won before buying (not that I will win but I can hope lol) In: COH3 Central
Thread: make use Elo/Rank program a ban17 Feb 2023, 21:42 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2023, 18:30 PMReverb When peopole use this program they tell their player to double highest ranking Elo on that show on program So they double strong player to kill him THis is unfair and should get a ban Any outside program run with COH3 should badn Also I think people us it to game ladder by dropping before game start when they hve bad teammate so it not show on game record If only there was some way to respond to being doubled like saying "hey team, I'm being doubled help me out or take advantage of me occupying 2 of their armies" As far as I know dropping during loading still results in a loss but other than that who cares... those kinds of players are going to drop regardless of whether or not they know their mates' exact ranks or not. They might just stick around for an extra 5-10 minutes before going "omg worthless noob /l" In: COH3 Central
Thread: Feature Request - dealing with AFK players14 Feb 2023, 21:30 PM I'm sure this could be abused but it'd be nice if you weren't credited with a loss if your teammate is afk at the start for "x" time. lol Still give the other team the W of course In: COH3 Central
Thread: Which faction to play in CoH3? [POLL]12 Feb 2023, 16:06 PM If "Interesting" is the key word I'd go with US. The versatility and "mix and match" build order potential looks really fun. You can either barracks or support weapon open and then you can choose from 3 different support centers and 3 different battlegroups. Not to mention different Vet 1 to choose from depending on what your strategy is. Unit roster wise I also really enjoyed playing Brits in the tech test even if the faction design is clearly the most vanilla. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Churchill Command Vehicle accuracy12 Feb 2023, 15:57 PM What Jabber said. Late AEC to combo tread shot and Firefly smackdown or Command Croc since the nerf doesn't affect it's damage as much. I'm not personally a fan of Centaur since it also nerfs reload which makes it worse at AA which can be a big deal in team games. In: UKF Strategies
Thread: Tech test Design feedback27 Jan 2023, 23:30 PM I agree that reinforcement time from Halftracks and Medical Trucks should be longer if it's outside base sector. (Probably not COH2 forward retreat point long... that always felt too long to me). The "Recrew Team Weapon" ability probably needs some kind of cool-down or delay on how long it takes before team weapon can retreat/attack. OR maybe you can't use it in combat. Definitely could be one of those "stealth OP" abilities that takes a while to catch on. In: COH3 Central
Thread: CoH3 faster VP tick rate25 Jan 2023, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2023, 19:17 PMRosbone Snip You forgot the part where they are eating Doritos and drinking Mt.

Thread: CoH3 faster VP tick rate19 Jan 2023, 20:01 PM Is 3.5 seconds an option? I generally really liked the new tick rate but on the other hand I found it hard to get to the really late-game content in 1v1s... in countless games I think I got Tiger, Black Prince, Easy 8, maybe once each if I actually filled out the rest of Battlegroup Tree first. That doesn't bother me too much knowing that if tried going straight for those units I could probably get them faster if I wanted. I'm mostly just sick of playing COH2 games against "I have enough braincells to hold 1 VP (or the map gives me a really safe VP) to stall for a end-game unit/off-map that makes the game 20-30 minutes longer than it has to be but I generally suck" opponents. For example: Part of that is obviously shit design with abuse of Spearhead vision and I'm sure the other team had fun feeling like they could pull out the game but I find games like that INCREDIBLY not fun. If you can't contest a second VP into the midgame then I don't think you should feel entitled to late-game come back mechanisms. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Biggest Balance Issues so far.19 Jan 2023, 19:34 PM 1) I also found HT "blobs" rather effective and hard to dislodge. It's nice to see them more useful and less meme-y than COH2 but the auto re-enforce makes it kind of brain dead. Another option might be to go the COH2 route and make on-field reinforce longer time than base. 2) Brit Sea and Air Rocket Loiter is also pretty busted. +1 to Notkdraz - Bunkers and Emplacements are WAY too durable. They need to take more weapon damage when decrewed or take more indirect damage or something. - Guastatori were also OP to me as well. Felt bulletproof and also spit out really good damage. I felt like Snipers or Tanks were mandatory against them. - Bersaglieri - combat wise felt fine but the Perma-sprint from Vet 0 feels both silly and borderline abusive for flanking and capping. To Me Dingo felt very UP to me USF Air Support Center felt REALLY overshadowed by Infantry/Mech Tiger might be overtuned? I only used it once but when I did I soloed 3 Grant tanks frontally which felt kind of OP. (They should have flanked me so both a cool "Front/Side armor concept works!" moment but also made me kind of wary about it) TTK could probably be nudged up a bit but I generally like the slower more tactical feel of COH3 In: COH3 Central
