its good

For the first 10 games you do not have a rank. That means you can fight vs anyone from rang 10.000 to rank 1. Elo is established after you first 10 games...

Yes which can land you a ladder of 34 or 3000 (I've had both from different smurf accounts). You are able to keep high ladder rank because you get good teammates vs low ladder opponents and low ladder/constant ladder sink from poor players on your team despite the same skill level in both situations. Low ladder rank basically solidifies poor teammates and makes it impossible to climb ladder.

I do not care about ladder rank for any reason besides the fact that higher ladder players are rarely AFK or rage quit after 2 minutes (although I can't really blame that so much since poor ladder position just breeds contempt for the game. You can only handle so many games of doing 3-4x damage, kills and caps before you really start getting tired.

I know the only solution is to play 2v2 (or really 1v1) but there is no reason why 4v4 should be THIS bad.

It's not RNG.
I just went over a replay and every single infantry engagement I had the opponent unit would not drop models until it was at the absolute lowest point of health.

Harware or connection MUST influence the way mechanics play out and this basically screws players that have something going on with either by letting other opponents essentially put out higher DPS or people like me put out lower DPS than what is intended.

Simply put the game is trash.

A lot of your unit movement issues sound server related. But the bullshit RNG is one of those things that must also have a server based issue.

I can tell when server is penetrating me because:
1) Mortars will erase my army all game long on the move with no sight. My mortars will finish the match with zero kills or damage.
2) MGs will insta-suppress me but my MG never suppresses anyone.
3) My units can never see anyone unit in smoke. But my units are always being targeted in smoke.

I recently made a half track upgraded to MG that could not suppress a unit. The unit just walked right up to it take quad 50 cal to the face. Then I backed away and they just followed me across the map never being suppressed.

As I have said before, I do better connecting to a server closest to the players I am playing against. If I play on the close server, 22mS ping, my units act like yours. Not moving when being shot at and cant shoot back at the enemy, etc.

The server is a mess. The match making is completely broken. But hey give us money for Coh3 please.

If Relic does not add some tools to see your ping and lag in Coh3, no one should buy it. Quake 3 had these tools in 1999. Like WTF relic.

But Reverb you need to run some kind of Quality of Service tests to verify your network is not the main issue for you. Because some of your stuff sounds like missing packets etc.

I ran a test and it was
89.89 mbps DL, 5.8 mbps UL, 29ms ping, 1 ms jitter

Another test saw 56 ms latency, 20 ms jitter, 3.1% late packets

Is that decent? Says it's rated as excellent.

I have many problems relating to gameplay mechanics in this game that I'd like to know an explanation for. There are many problems that occur to play that I do not see in other players.

Here is a list of problems I regularly see for gameplay in multiplayer.


1. My units will not respond to commands. This most often happens with retreat commands ("T" button on my keyboard). I will have to press the T key sometimes 10-20 times before the unit retreats.

2. Often units frozen in retreat animation. The unit will have the retreat icon above it's head but will just stand in place until it is wiped.

3. Units staying suppressed while retreating and in base. The unit will retreat with the suppression icon above its head and this will remain that way in base for 5-10 seconds sometimes.

4. My units do not seem to put out DPS as other players...sort of. They will drop the health of the enemy unit but probably at least 50-60% of the time the enemy unit will not drop models until it is at extremely low health. This happens across all infantry engagements- IE volk on rifle, rifle on volk, gren on infantry section, commando on volk, etc.

5. Occasionally my AT guns will require more than 4 penetrating hits on an enemy tank with 640 hp (IE Cromwell being shot with a Rak). In replay they are not misses/splash damage, they are penetrating hits.

6. My units often separate when moving. This usually happens at the beginning of a match where one model will move and the other stay in base. An example of this would be I send a sturm at the start of the game to the middle VP. One sturm model will walk all the way to the VP and the other 3 models will stand motionless in base.

7. Units not moving where I place them on the map. This most often occurs with putting units in cover, I have tried making sure the green or yellow dots are selected at the piece of cover for the unit to move to, they often move to the location but models will be off of the selected dots by 1-5 units of distance. This happens with click dragging as well.

8. My units VERY often cannot return fire to enemy units without being closer to the enemy unit. And example of this would be I have a volk in cover that is being shot at by a riflemen unit. When I select the volk to return fire the only way it will do so is to move out of cover and step 2-5 units of distance closer to the riflemen unit. If I put it back in cover the models will stop shooting while being shot at.

9. My user interface command box will very often go blank and I cannot use the unit after this except for moving it around with the mouse. This happens with all types of units. I have seen this bug for players using the ZIS gun, but I have this happen with every unit. Volk, Land Mattress, Mortars, Vehicles, etc.

10. Essentially impossible RNG rolls. The most recent one that sticks out in my mind is that I had a Vet 2 Firefly shooting at a King Tiger at medium-ish range. The Firefly fired 6 shots in a row which all hit, but were all bounces. According to pen/armor tables this would be an incredibly low chance, like winning the lottery type of chance.


Is there any explanation to this craziness? It's incredibly frustrating to play with all this stuff going on constantly. It seems like it has gotten much worse and my ladder rank has suffered a ton because of it seems. I have around 600 games 4v4 in OKW and was around ladder 400 for about 500 matches, my ladder rank has dropped to over 3000 in the past 100 games, although my stats are usually comparable to above average in matches, almost always positive KD and lead in damage stat. I guess this is a problem with matchmaking however. When I was playing mostly 2v2 my ladder rank was mid 200s to low 300.

I don't think I'm being hyperbolic to feel that essentially my account is handicapped.

Can something like ping or internet actually influence the mechanics of the game? I'm not sure what the ping is, my internet is decent, the MS delay at the top is usually 35-50ms. Computer has a Ryzen 9 5900x and RTX 3060ti.


Something else that is strange is the stats in after game are very often not any where close to what has happened in game, I can go back and watch the replay, tally every kill and the end stat will be wildly off.
