Thread: Men of War 2 - CoH Competition, or Killer?17 May 2024, 15:22 PM So is the conclusion of all this MoW 2 furor that basically COH3 has become the premier WWII RTS game? I'm not saying that's a high bar with the games industry in general these days. In: Other Games
Thread: WHEN they will nerf RANGERS ???11 May 2024, 16:09 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2024, 15:25 PMWilly Pete Lol so "l2P" is mostly what you mean here? I have a pretty hard time believing a large number of ppl are skipping to tank depot. There's nothing there worth rushing out... Getting a greyhound as early as possible is one of US strongest plays. What loses ppl games is motor pool timing. If you prioritize anything else or fall behind in fuel, thats where whirbelwind and FV timings can kill You can call it that. Nothing aside from Bulldozer, EZ8s, Whizzbang and Hellcats? Axis blob destroyers, best medium, blob crusher and potent fast TD in that order. We've had 0 extra CP unlocks for the certain vehicles from the Tank Depot for quite a while now. Of course Rangers are also your armour, so you don't 'need' the Motor Pool for Adv Inf unless the Stummel spam is obscene and you fail RNG on the zooks badly. But Rangers are also a crutch where you don't learn skills properly and hurts you long term IMHO. In: COH3 Central
Thread: WHEN they will nerf RANGERS ???11 May 2024, 14:45 PM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2024, 13:47 PMaerafield ? I've been coming round to the idea that this is mainly due to a critical flaw in the USF tech tree. That ppl can (in the game) go Barracks -> Tank Depot without needing to buy any intermediate tech buildings. The result is that ppl are getting punished badly for doing this, but they won't learn either. Thus the complaints of "Flakvierling and Wirbelwind OP" despite both the WSC and Motor Pool having excellent counters to both those vehicles. In: COH3 Central
Thread: US paratroopers26 Apr 2024, 14:55 PM Paratroopers are meant to be used at mid-long range (esp with rdy-to-upgrade M1919A6s). Getting close is not recommended, especially with how much CQC stuff is out there. Idk if you're used to them in COH2 with Thompsons but they're a different unit in COH3. Rangers exist for all your close-mid needs. In: COH3 Central
Thread: 17pounder AT is the most disgusting unit i have ever seen 25 Apr 2024, 14:28 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2024, 13:04 PMshinasukac most axis heavy artillery cant direct destory it but just kill the crew and even you destory it , it is only cost 170manpower 20fuel First part is true, but you're going about this the wrong way. Reinforce cost is 25MP per model, 6 models @ 120HP = 150MP. Keep laying down artillery fire (2 guns will do for most opponents unless you already lost) and they will bleed badly. The inf screen will weaken and then the guns will be much easier to take out. Wespe vet I's Creeping Barrage is extremely effective in flattening fixed guns. Cannone da 105/28 is really just spamming fire. Obice is Obice. Recon traktor is an endless source of nightmares that just won't stop bleeding the UKF player if played right. Just be aware that you are in range of the gun when doing normal barrages. The vet I version puts you safely outside. Second part is only true if they refund the truck, which then means they can't reinforce. Then the gun is easy to knock out. A knocked out 17 pounder gun can also be stolen...UKF players really don't like that. In: COH3 Central

Thread: Anyone else find the regular Sherman useless?18 Mar 2024, 22:39 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2024, 03:57 AMWilly Pete Then read the thread, ppl explained it pretty clearly Its not bad, it just doesnt have a role. You will never once feel like you need a sherman. You will consistently feel like you need hellcats and/or a dozer tho It is my understanding that Relic have overbuffed the bulldozer, making it almost like a turreted COH2 Brummbar (with lower armour). With that as the ‘standard’ then of course ppl complain that the regular Sherman isn’t good enough. It isn’t wiping multiple models out per shot, or most of the squad HP. One of my last games had a bulldozer shrug off sustained fire from 2 PaK 40s and knocked one of them out. It was only an inf squad recrewing and threatening a snare that I didn’t lose both my guns. And the match with it. Bunch up both AT guns into a shot and you're done. I’ll leave the discussion of Hellcat vs Sherman to other people. It is tricky to balance the Hellcat and it flails around against any inf AT. But I do know that the Bulldozer/Hellcat combo is blatantly too powerful right now and needs a hefty nerf. Prob mainly to the bulldozer, lest we get too many screams of 'Hellcat on life support' again (not without some justification admittedly). In: COH3 Central
Thread: Anyone else find the regular Sherman useless?6 Mar 2024, 15:58 PM It is a solid all-rounder tank that incidentally has slightly better armour than the Pz IV but slightly less pen. Unlike in COH2, they are mainly going up against Pz III Ls and IVs so I don't understand why ppl are finding it 'useless'. In: COH3 Central
Thread: frustrating cheese tactics21 Dec 2023, 22:05 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Dec 2023, 18:55 PMNigelBallsworth Thank you, I'll try that. I had resorted to 2 zook squads, but being infantry theyre not quick enough to catch up to them, and whatever units he loses, he just makes more. The end result being that he's harassed all resources enough to cost us the game. By the time I get a reasonable counter out, he's got the aforementioned 7 or 8 carros, which easily destroy any armor or infantry I can field. No problem. You're not supposed to catch up to motorbikes (or LVs) with AT infantry, they're to destroy/repel attacking vehicles. This guy is using a meme build that dies fast the moment bikes start dying off, just like kubel spam was in COH2. If he's replacing bikes, that's just going to make the next stage harder where vetted AT inf meet his Carros/proper LVs. Even BAR rifles will shred through motorbikes fast. (Fire on the move) Rangerzooks or LMGRangers are worth a go too. Quad mount AA's cheap and available after X Support Centre has been picked. Prob best if the situation is that dire fast and you want to chase down the bikes. That'll shred through them extremely fast. Just don't let it get isolated and focus fired by everything. I would honestly suggest rushing AT guns if the above isn't working for you. Just keep the guns protected by a (multiple) Rifle screen + maybe a Zook squad. In: COH3 Central
Thread: frustrating cheese tactics21 Dec 2023, 13:57 PM AT boys as UKF, into Stuarts. Zook squad as USF. Parazook if it's getting really bad fast. Chaffee will stomp all vehicles in the Axis arsenal until StuG/T4 (not counting long range Marder III shots behind inf screens). In: COH3 Central
