The battlefield-UI or how you wanna call it in CoH3 is one of the worst I have ever seen, a bunch of symbols floating above units, making the screen cluttered and 0 explanation as to what these buffs do

This is the primary reason why I refuse to play Coh3 or watch any one stream the game.

It is so intersting how the tables have turned. All these discussions are almost identical to those 2013-early 2014. Now CoH2 is regarded as the gold standard for coh games.

I remember Coh2 having issues but largely still playable and mostly enjoyable ( sometimes frustrating )

Coh3 to me is a repulsive mess. I have just on 6 hours playtime. I literally cannot stand the visuals or
the overuse of icons. Game is also buggy and performance is often bad.

I also have issue with the elevation at times where I just quit because I cannot stand the bouncing around.

The other surprising fact is I have no interest watching community members stream. The game looks terrible
on most streams and is incredibly boring. There's no atmosphere at all.

I truely wanted Coh3 to be epic, but they would have to implement massive changes for me to bother with this
game ever again..

The fact that edge panning cannot be adjusted is a major issue.

If you compare the control in Coh3 to Coh2, the difference is massive.
Coh2 is smooth and responsive where as Coh3 is jerky and abrupt. Add in the fact that the screen is filled with massive amounts of unnecessary icons and notifications as well as units blending into an environment that is ridiculously overdone with distracting detail and the game overall is visually offensive.

Fix the panning or just give up relic. Seriously its that shit.

Then clean up the icon pollution.

Then fix the graphics so that everything doesn't blend in so much.

Then optimise so everything is smooth and not jerky.

Then the game might be playable..

Issues in no particular order.
The desert maps are truly repugnant. Nothing in the COH franchise history is more repellent. First impression is the game is running at 480p or that graphic settings are set to minimum. Everything is to use a popular description just looks washed out or faded. It is difficult to distinguish units from the environment. It also is very easy to become disinterested in the action because the game is so bland. The colour scheme or art design just fails to make an impact in any way.
The weather effects or vehicle wear in desert maps is also problematic. The units already look bland due to the beige colour scheme and failure to distinguish from the environment so adding dirt and sand to the unit skin just makes everything appear more dull. It is an interesting idea and in a European setting would look great but in Africa it detracts from the visual appeal of the game tremendously.

In my opinion there is an enormous overuse of bright colours. The colours in UI need to be toned down to a level similar in coh1 / coh2.
The icons / colours on resource points detract from the visual appeal of the game. Comparing Coh2 resource point animations to Coh3 resource point animations and the defences are night and day. Coh2 is subtle and blends into the background nicely. Coh3 is cluttered and visually detracting. The timer is off centre and the white flag icon seem utterly redundant. The timer colours being the same as the player colour is also overkill as it just adds more bright colours to the game. The issue is further compounded when multiple units with their own icons enter the circle to prevent the cap. It is massively detracting from the visual appeal of the game. The resource icons are too large and the colours chosen seem to stand out more than necessary. Coh2 resource icons are perfect in that they blend in so well you don't even see them during game play but if you look for them then they almost magically appear. Coh3 is a war based game, so the overuse of bright fluorescent colours is really off-putting. It is also further evident when compared to other WW2.

Unit icons compared to Coh2 are poorly designed and add to the visual pollution Coh3 seems to suffer from. Coh2 was subtle and unobtrusive whereas Coh3 turns into a screen full of icons as the game progresses. The issue is further compounded once the player adds control groups as an icon stack appears which looks stupid and distracting.

Notifications in left hand corner are just overpowering. I rarely ever read notification in Coh2 but the writing blended into the background was unnoticeable however notifications in Coh3 actually block out that part of the screen. Coh3 really has a problem of overuse of information and obstructing the viewing area of the game. Keep in mind many people watch this game online which I would say is now far less visually appealing than coh2 was.
Recommend changing style to be less obtrusive or implement option to turn of notifications.

Overall the game has a massive problem with visual clarity. Just about everything looks dull or faded. Units often blend into the environment far too much especially on the desert maps. Add in the over use of fluorescent colours, notifications and bloated unit icons and the game just appears visually unappealing.
TBH I think the pre Alpha graphics were far better in regard to unit visibility and just a better game experience overall.

Make sure power plan is set to High Performance.

I have a 5700 XT and was getting terrible fps with power plan set to default setting of balanced.
