And there is still always a good amount of risk involved by putting all faith into a single unit...

I don't see much of a difference with getting swarmed by 2-3 mediums instead (beyond a heavy being a bit more reliable at closing the game fast).

TBH, i'm surprised by this response.

You can't magically pop out (double T3485s are no longer a thing) 2-3 mediums at the same time. They require more micro and allow the player on the backfoot plenty of opportunities to recover. The tools required to deal with a medium are completely different than the ones required to deal with a heavy tank.

And even if you found yourself fighting against several mediums with a lower amount of AT units, the defending player can still manage to kill one or 2 if he plays his card right.

Stalling for the 17/20 min heavy tank is not the risk option, it's the safe choice at the moment. Getting the medium and allowing the opponent the opportunity to kill it is the risk.


If the desirable outcome is allowing players to finish games reliable when ahead, i don't think that goes in favour of the design of the game. I think that has to be done by VP countdown.

This is more so for a CoH3

Performance and cost on heavies are fine IMO. I'm not saying to push them as back as before (13 CP) but a middle ground and/or having a construction time would go a long way.

And more UI fixes!

I don't count those as things which should be listed. If it can be done it should be done. Just like bugfixes

It's beyond me how many people are asking for Brit buffs. The sections are fine now, they've been buffed back from being overnerfed. I'm pretty sure the complainers want sections to be buffed back to their original stats which was downright broken.

Also, the "nerf" to the bofors was well deserved seeing that the Lefh is nerfed (yes i know, ml20 was nerfed too, but SU never uses them, cuz katy is so much better.) And the "nerf" was just to prevent entire squads (even sometimes retreating ones) from being annihilated by accidentally stepping into its firing radius for just 2-3 secs. Does the bofors still shred Ost LVs in 2 seconds? If it does, how can the UKF only players claim that Bofors actually received a meaningful nerf?

UKF suffers from systemic design problems as how OKW was before rework. The problem is that they don't have as many non doctrinal units which you could touch without making the faction play like "cancer".

There's small suggestions like allowing AEC and Bofor or making mortar pits more affordable but enable more counterplay and bleed (by making them have half their firepower gated by garrisoning units inside).

Regarding IS, the nerf was sensible but it didn't fix anything at all, just removing the faction from most competitive play. People still require bolster + double weapon to remain competitive.

I would give them some small buff (revert some nerfs) aimed towards early/mid but removing their late game scaling.

Ex: start by making bren better but more expensive. Make Bolster and infantry upgrades (medic/flare) occupy a weapon slot. Make the flare upgrade provide a single scoped Lee Enfield.

Objective is making IS more modular, without been a clear option having them as 5 man IS with double bren and medic/flare upgrade possible.

As healing is no longer a no brainer, you could make the forward assembly cheaper to 150mp and move that 50mp difference to all other upgrade (retreat point and doc engineers). It would be OH bunker + medic equivalent. I'm aware this could be strong, but i'm skeptic that a 50mp would now make it OP.

Alternative: only bolster occupies a weapon slot.

It was changed from a constant MP drain to an RNG MP drain. The problem is, someone needs to figure out how to make the Pak not be a slightly longer range mortar, while at the same time removing the ability to randomly 1-shot models.

It can't 1 shot outside of vet 2 heat barrage and it's not more RNG than a normal mortar. It's no longer closer to be as accurate as an ISG while having the AoE of the 120mm mortar.

That is another inconsistency - free vision bonus and too spammable. Should cost munitions.

While i have never liked the concept of them, it's not a inconsistency. Outside of the fast deployment.

Overwatch flares have no cost and can be planted by a wider array of units.
Early warning is passive recon as well.

76mm 0.50 upgrade cost 10 munition less than other 0.5 while having superior stats.

Outside of Total DPS while static, i just found that most MG upgrades have their values to be all over the place while moving, rather than been the usual 50% less DPS.

OH and OKW tanks bar KT.

Accuracy 0.6
Burst 0.5
Cooldown 0.25

KT: 0.4/1.0/1.0

IS2/ISu152: 0.5/0.5/0.25

M4C Sherman/76mm: 0.65/0.5/0.25

E8/Normal Sherman/Bulldozer: 0.375/1.0/1.0

This is not checking from tools but the outdated coh2db stats but i don't remember there been any changes to them.

Even that would be important. Showing How Close AOE4 is to AOE2/1 and how innovative it is may be a good barometer for what relic may try to do with Coh3.

Obviously DOW3 was the wrong combination of new and old and so I would hope they find a new balance in future projects.

The problem is that there is plenty of room to improve or add features in a game like CoH which relies on tactics rather than traditional RTS mechanics, in comparison to the AoE2 formula.

Too many people ride on the nostalgia factor and if they try to do too many new things, people will just keep playing either old Vooble AoE2 or the AoE2 DE if they finally manage fo fix pvp connections.
