Compare CoH 3's release to other AAA titles like Red Dead 2

One studio had a 9 digit amount of US-Dollars available for developing their game, the other one didn't. Like what on earth is this comparison


Anyway I'd say I agree with both sides here. Trashing on the game for the most petty stuff is absolute bullshit, but saying that the game feels unfinished or rushed or whatever is 100% understandable.

I'm right in thinking there's no combined arms buff from the kradschützen right? I can understand why, think it might get a bit oppressive if it had it as well as its vet 1 ability.

Seperately, what do you guys think of the autocannon/mortar upgrade for the 250? I find the mortar is nice but the autocannon doesn't really seem that worth it, requires a significant amount of careful micro in exchange for fairly mediocre damage.

Yup the Kradschützen, Mortar HT, Recovery Vehicle, Stuka and the 2.5 Tonne truck are the only vehicles that don't provide the CA bonus to Pgrens and Panzerpios. But keep in mind you also get the bonus from Wehr teammate vehicles

Now you don't "have" to build a 250 from the beginning and can wait for 250 call-in after 6min or Flakvierling, especially on a campy map where the 250 can only attack frontally... but imo that requires some very cautious gameplay with the help from Kradschützen support which has a decent MG34 and amazing sight (built in spotting scopes).

The combat halftracks used to be okay but last patch Relic ninja nerfed them for whatever reason by increasing upgrade cost from 50 to 75 ammo.

Honestly just skip the combat HTs and just park the 250s in the background for CA, small flank recon and their medical supplies. The mortar HT is hot garbage compared to ISG anyway and doesn't provide CA as mentioned earlier, and the 2cm version is a meme in teamgames.

We really do need a page explaining vet and all these passive abilities in details.

Absolutely

First of all which mode are you playing? If 1v1 then you're probably right and you can dismiss what I'm saying, if not then most of what you're saying is complete rubbish I'm sorry

What paths need is price increase. They are dirty cheap, they should at least cost around 230-240, considering how they can just overwhelm you in early game and 2 of them can fight pretty much any set-up early into the game by sheer numbers.

Pathfinders are literally the 3-man Scout squad with one extra soldier, the utility package and a rifle-nade. They lose hard vs charging DAK Pgrens and they are also pretty much defenseless vs Grenadiers + Sniper support. Yeah they give you a lot of map control in the first 5min but then they fall apart like wet paper, unless you're fighting vs a clueless opponent who just builds 2 MGs + grens and hopes for the best

By the time you can field light vehicle, unless enemy gave up fighting completely, you already can have zook paras. And because you skip T1, you can just go for quad-mount or howi M5, via mech support (which is meta).

What LV are we talking about here? The Flakvierling is on par with the quad flak and zook paras can be easily avoided by a mobile suppression platform if you give it some sight. As Wehr it's a bit harder but you could just cope with 1-2 schreck jaegers until tanks arrive. And if he builds the 57mm HT and you don't build a LV, then he just wasted resources for nothing.

*76mm sherman is also just insane. Its probably should be more AT orientated tank, possibly even separately build, ones unlocked. Or be a free upgrade for shermans.

The 76mm sherman is the one single thing that US got going for them that could be called overpowered, but it's very expensive hence arriving at a very late stage of the game and it forces you to go 1 specific support center.

*UK tommies at very least, need a price increase from 260 to around 270-280 MP, since they are by far the best infantry in the game.

DAK Pgrens with CA beat tommies under pretty much all circumstances

*DAK is all over the place right now. Basically whole faction is on life support by Italian combined arms battle group.

While Italian CA is arguably the best DAK doctrine at the moment, saying that the faction is "on life support" without it is complete BS. Pgrens with CA have the best stats across all mainline inf squads (and in 2v2-4v4 it's certainly not hard to park a 250 or flakvierling near your grens), they have a non-doctrinal nuke heavy mortar, a dirt-cheap 90 meters scout vehicle and most importantly: The ridiculously strong Armory upgrades that turn your tanks into the best of the game

And this becomes absolutely obsolete when they have multiple of these emplacements. Your plan will not even reach the edge of the map.

Also a 10/10 moment when you paradrop airborne rangers, AT guns or 30cal into your own base and they don't even survive those 10 meters

While that is an excellent suggestion, I can already see a potential issue where receiving artillery fire counts as 'in combat' as units get damaged.

But this shouldn't be an issue unless you are blobbing 5 units around the truck? And if you do that, then indirect fire should 100% punish you for that
