Why is this an issue? It's simple game knowledge that you should not run up THAT close like 1 meter in front of the enemy with SMGs, unless you want to negate cover with the point blank mechanic

Because you need to know exactly where every single smg has its TOP DPS, be able to judge that distance accurately in game and more importantly be able to force move all member of the squad at that distance.

Nah this is again just a l2p issue imo. Same with these crazy lunatics that pick up a PTRS rifle with Obers or Pgrens

Again one need to know if weapon his troops carry are better than said a BAR. And even if one knows one might want to be deprive from the enemy team.

In addition the ability of greatly buffing cheap units was what eventually lead to Conscripts getting 1 weapon slot (see double Vickers-K) and finally removing drop able weapons from M5.

Slot weapon should simply be balanced separately for each unit and this is the way to do it.

The last 2 points can simply be fixed if Relic would provide official stats pages in CoH3 like https://coh2.serealia.ca/# , instead of letting the community do this thing where almost nobody in the playerbase knows about these pages.




100% agree



That's a solid no, because it sounds just like a mechanic that helps bad players and dumbs the game down. We might as well improve the "Retreat" feature in coh3 and let units with less than 10% health automatically retreat

See point one. With the current system one simply can not move all entities of SMG squad to optimum range.

CoH2 introduced a system called weapon profiles.

This system imo was one the best designed decision in game. Categorizing weapon allow player to get an idea how to make the best out of their units without having to memorize all the possible match up.

In addition it allow the design of "relative positioning" where a player needs to place his unity in the optimum range to gain the most.

Unfortunately the system was not fully implemented while there was some issue from the start.

For instance many weapon continue to get increased DPS with range while SMG max at around range 10 so people using smg unit are in disadvantage if the close more than 10.

This imo should be fixed. For more about this here :

Another issue are drop able weapons:
This weapon replace the normal weapon and thus give a different bonus to each squad. For some squad some weapon are even a downgrade (for instance PGs picking up bars).

Imo Squad should be separated into categories and have slot weapon receive bonuses or penalties accordingly.

(older relative post: https://www.coh2.org/topic/60230/balancing-dropable-weapons ).

Player friendly improvements:

Ranges, imo it would be helpful if a player could, by pressing a button, get in game range indicators that included close/mid/far indicator for the his units.

Attack move:
Attack more could also be improved by allowing the player to change the "attack range" to max/mid/close and having the unit move to that distance before stopping.

(I changed the suggestion to attack order and not attack move so that player has to choose an enemy unit)

The CoH franchise seem also terrible at providing information about that game.

Imo this can be solved with encyclopedia in game (or out of game). The encyclopedia can be designed to read from game files.

Another option would be to create a "light" version of CoH tool where one will be able to read to stat of the unit without being able to change them.

A very useful tool would also be one that would allow to compare stat of two "bags".

My suggestion is simpler.

Allow player to set a retreat point inside of base sector.

If that is too advantage change it into an area around HQ.

This will also reduce the effectiveness of firing arty into enemy base.

If I am not mistaken can be applied to COH2 also with little trouble (commissar retreat).

...

Overall, I think a kind of ping/flag system would be best. Mute functions for text chat and pings should be implemented too. As well as a report button, but that is another topic.

That was another point I palling to make but it was already brought up by Hannibal.

Another crucial imo improvement that COH3 should have, would be an in game report system.

Reducing the toxic level of game is crucial these day in making a successful game.
