"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Thread: Fallschirmpioneer and flak emplacement3 Mar 2023, 16:21 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2023, 14:33 PMLady Xenarra While that is an excellent suggestion, I can already see a potential issue where receiving artillery fire counts as 'in combat' as units get damaged. Perhaps a much slower reinforce in combat might be the answer? Reinforcing under artillery fire is a fairly costly affair in COH2 due to all the splash damage, but it seems unfair to penalise ppl for not wanting to leave their team weapons abandoned. Eg: A CD on the recrew weapon ability to stop ppl endlessly remanning it. The ability has a cooldown already. You're meaning a more substantial one? In: COH3 Central

Thread: Coh3 Fun facts and stats3 Mar 2023, 03:36 AM Wow. I didn't realize it was the 76 conversion that dropped the Sherman's manpower cost down to 202 (with war machine ofc). Makes me wonder if it would be better to hold off on the first sherman until the 76mm upgrade... interesting. Probably not though. The way I play I need the sherman ASAP. In: COH3 Central

Thread: Fallschirmpioneer and flak emplacement2 Mar 2023, 01:37 AM Paras and mortar smoke would almost be a good idea except for the fact that a grenade plus a satchel doesn't even do enough damage to decrew the flak emplacement. On top of that, it doesn't even damage the weapon, like I keep saying. Even when the flak is decrewed, para satchel only does 7/8ths of the health lmfao. In: COH3 Central

I've always hated that excuse people make when X unit is overpowered, and people's solution is just "don't let them get it," as if always winning is a viable "strategy." I know that's not what you're saying here, but I've seen this kind of argument so many times that I'm just going to inb4 it now. I'm just giving my honest opinion on what the actual counters to it are. But yeah, it's more a band-aid solution rather than some kind of admission on my part that they aren't overtuned/OP. I mean, FFS, you can't even snipe the crewmates. Usually if you can't snipe the crewmates, it's an emplacement that dies when you do enough damage to "decrew" it (flak emplacement, mortar pit, bofors, etc.) Get this, I just played a 4v4 game where my teammate and I had two fallshirmpios and 2 flak emplacements surrounded on an entire semicircle, he had 2 boys AT, and I had 3 assault engi flamer squads, as well as an AT halftrack, all attacking ONE flak emplacement. They were able to easily reinforce and/or recrew abandoned teamweapon with nearby halftrack. Emplacements just lock down a side completely and totally and all you can do as allies is contest the other side and come back later. Which is why I was wondering out loud if new allies meta is to stack 2 VPs and give up on one side for the most part. In: COH3 Central

Even had mulitple sources of AA and it still couldn't save them Whatever brit AA you were using, I guess it's just not sufficient. The US M18 AA halftrack is enough to shoot down all the AT loiter planes before they even fire one round at vet zero, however. Just USF things. In: COH3 Central

Only issue is that if you're playing US you'll only have an AT gun if you go airborne (T3 is useless) However, US can field the M3 AT gun halftrack which can counter the emplacement so that's nice at least.) Maybe we live in the timeline where allies 4v4 meta shifts to rushing to the 2 VPs closest to each other while engineer squads back-cap. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Fallschirmpioneer and flak emplacement1 Mar 2023, 14:05 PM If you're ost and you put a reinforcement bunker next to a flak, it doesn't even die to brit howitzers. Because for some reason, howitzer shells bounce off of OST bunkers and only do deflect damage. Funniest shit ever. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Fallschirmpioneer and flak emplacement1 Mar 2023, 13:59 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Mar 2023, 13:57 PMGarrett Wrong, it is very easy to decrew, but not to kill. Just put a truck behind it lmao This. Emplacements are a royal bitch to kill in CoH 3. If you use a mortar it will only bleed the infantry, but with a medical halftrack next to it, it will instantly replenish any dead models. If you're lucky enough to decrew, the enemy can just recrew abandoned teamweapon with the halftrack before you can do any damage to the teamweapon itself. In CoH 3, unlike CoH 2, the teamweapon itself ONLY takes damage when decrewed. Its not like your mortar chip damage adds up and when it's decrewed it's at half health or something. No, it will be at FULL health. In: COH3 Central
