As long as Relic is held to boundries of an excisting concept and has good financial freedom, it will not repeat the fiasco vanilla production and launch of CoH2 and the horrible DOW III joke of a game.

If their leash it let loose, we are in for a rough AoE reboot and most likely a dead lelic lol.

Yes penals are insane

I heard they are fine. Just need some more sticky 152 mm shells in their pockets for those pesky hmgs!

Ostheer Panther

It is not worth it upgrading your shermans since the reduction in anti infantry capabilities is felt very harshly. On top of this, the upgraded shermans still struggle vs Wehrmacht vet 3 Panthers. You are better off with a couple of m10s and doing a blockade or a couple of m18s for that cloaked shot that whoops a Panther's ass.

Keep your shermans unupgraded infantry killers at all time. When the vet 3 grens and vet 3 knightscross holders show up, believe me, you wish you didn't upgrade.

Unupgraded shermans also destroy pe blobs.

As for the Pumas, they have an insane small target size. I believe the 222s have this to some extent too. The Puma however is almost impossible to hit with any at gun or handheld at weaponry. The shells will miss or either pass straight through them. Your best bet is to snare the Puma orlure it into a mine. This works best against 222s too.

Infantry fights are somewhat weird in CoH. Damage wise it is less of an rng fest than CoH2. Riflemen beat out unupgraded volks and grens at close range, at medium range it becomes a little more rng since both sides have a somewhat equal chance (slightly in favor of k98s), and on the long range the latter two win easily. When you bar up your riflemen, they win vs unupgraded grens and volks at basically all ranges. When grens get their lmg, they are superior in long range and lose out close to mid. Volks with their mp40s lose out at every range most of the time.

Riflemen beat out pgrens (pe) at close range unupgraded (both) and lose to them at medium to long range (both unupgraded). Pgrens with g43s will win at all ranges vs unupgraded riflemen. Upgraded riflemen will win vs unupgraded pgrens at all ranges and lose to upgraded (g43) pgrens at long ranges. Unupgraded and upgraded riflemen will lose to stg upgraded pgrens at close to mid ranges.

If pgrens are upgraded to 4 men, the g43 upgrade wins at every range but close range vs bars and the stg 44 wins at close and mid vs bars.

I recognize that building in the top right of the picture, it is from the 1v1 and 2v2 map Stalingrad. I hated that map.

Remember when there was this bug after a patch and there was nothing but Stalingrad in 1v1 and 2v2 lol?
