Thread: Black Prince Poll22 Jul 2021, 18:53 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2021, 15:55 PMButcher From what it seems the Panther is going to be doctrinal since there were low numbers of it in Italy. (And I love that decision.) Meanwhile that thing is facing tanks that was never deployed just because. (Utter bullshit.) This game is seriously wasting potential to depict the frontline in Italy in a meaningful manner. I'm pretty happy that the Panther is a doctrinal unit, rather than a core aspect of the faction, honestly. Nondoc panthers caused a lot of problems in teamgames in CoH2, and it opens the faction up for more interestng units/design to be incorporated into their nondoctrinal arsenals. In: COH3 Central

Says who? The British could very well have bought the technical package for the T-34 and produced their own in this retarded fantasy timeline we're inventing here. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Where are the Panzer IIIs?22 Jul 2021, 18:49 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2021, 16:29 PMSpoof I hardly believe forum boys gave 2 shits about StuGs and the Ostwind, or the Luchs and the Puma. If Relic puts it in the game people will come to appreciate it. I don't know about anyone else, but I love vehicles like the StuG, Luchs, and Puma. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Where are the Panzer IIIs?22 Jul 2021, 12:42 PM People do realise that the Germans used more Panthers than Panzer IIIs during WWII, right? I'm also not sure where this idea that a faction being able to build something like a Panther or Tiger makes them "Ubiquitous and universal", really. Putting limits on things so you could only build one tiger every x games is not something conducive to good game design. That said; I'm still hoping that the DAK get PzIIIs, and other early-war vehicles, though I guess we'll have to see. In: COH3 Central

Would be amusing. Include new things for multiplatyer and let us have a new mini campaign, seems like ideal DLC content to me. Russian army? Nah, just let the UKF have all of that Russian gear. Just one decision would have let them do it. In: COH3 Central

Thread: Rommel's Research - The Mediterranean Arsenal22 Jul 2021, 01:55 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2021, 00:10 AMSpoof So does anyone know what the fuck the 88mm anti-tank gun is supposed to be? It's literally a PaK40. Either its some sort of typo, or Wehr in CoH3 are going to be using the Flak88 instead of the Pak-40 in the final game (At least in some campaign missions). Guess we'll have to wait and see. EDIT: Alternately it could be intended to be the PAK-43, which is also 88mm. Really no way to tell at this stage. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Black Prince Poll21 Jul 2021, 18:34 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jul 2021, 16:57 PMHannibal To be fair though the game will likely range until 1945. Unless there will be a restriction to certain years this will always be the case, just as it was in CoH2 and CoH1. This is true, which is why I'm not terribly bothered about the exact time-frame of certain units in each army, I'm not sure if they're intended to represent armies of a certain timeframe (Like OST and OKW are), at least not in MP. Though that's hard to know until the game actually releases. I am thinking that the Campaign and MP factions will be rather different though, in terms of what they have access to. In: COH3 Central

At this point they should focus on whats more popular, the competitive scene is about to get a whole new game anyway 2v2s are certainly more able to support "Skillful" play than 3v3/4v4s, but still not really to the extent that 1v1s are. 3v3s and 4v4s are almost unsalvageable without a /severe/ rework of several systems, and a major rework of some factions/units to the point where it would be a totally different game (And unplayable in 1v1) This isnt going to happen, even if Relic allowed the Balance Team to do so. There's far too much work involved. With the overall lower level of skill of large teamgame players, balance changes (Unless they are very severe/sweeping) aren't even necessarily going to make much of a difference for them.

Thread: Black Prince Poll21 Jul 2021, 15:59 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jul 2021, 15:38 PMCrecer13 Not really, there was SKS before SKS. In 1941, Simonov created a new carbine chambered for 7.62x54 to replace the SVT-40. But unfortunately, the factories were not up to the production of a new rifle, and by 1944, 50 such rifles were produced. SKS-31. There they were most likely tested on the front line. I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with, exactly. In: COH3 Central
