RTS campaigns are never good and they never really have been. Most of the time it's either a boring slog with the enemy given some sort of random artificial advantage or it's an annoying mission that has you controlling a handful of units in a way that generally breaks most of the features that make you want to play an RTS game in the first place.
I truly don't understand the people for whom the campaign is genuinely enjoyable.
CoH3's campaign is just rehashed skirmish with some unique missions. Honostly, I only have 4 hours of gameplay in Coh3 because the campaign was boring.
Most RTS I would say have a good campaign that at least has more thoughtful mission design than just skirmish.
Age of Empires Series to include AoE 4
Command and Conquer Series. Even CnC4 had a more thoughtful campaign than CoH3
Supreme Commander
Starcraft and Warcraft
The skirmish mode could be better if they actually improve their AI. If Age of Empire's 2 AI could heard deer, then CoH3 AI can atleast find cover reasonably.
I personally will not be modding in Coh3. The last time I played it, Coh3 had about the same amount of unpolished as one of my own mods. Seeing how many issues in Coh3 has, it gave me a renewal in modding in Coh2.
I have had this issue before. You are likely using cheat mod commands? This can pop up by having rapid production on so stuff builds quickly. By turning this off and let it build normally, it has a good chance of working.
If you want to try it out, my mod is in the signature block. The notes are pretty out dated, so ignore them. I messed with all factions There is one important bug: If you have too many OKW AI, then the game will stutter. I think it is related that the OKW AI wants to move the setup up trucks. Two AI seems not have a problem but seven AI will.
Honestly, I would say the AVRE should be reworked to act more similarly to a brumbar. Focus around an auto attack rather than an ability for one shooting squads.
Based on reading all comments before, I have some questions and answers. Once again you can see what I am talking about in my mod, but it feels like I have shilling a bit too much for it.
Pathfinders (and other light infantry)
Pathfinders are somewhat of a glass cannon seeing they are a 4 man squad with 1 target size. With two bars and two scoped rifles, they have a really high chance of dropping bars. They have great damage potential but a very squishy. They do also have doctrinal issues as well. They have an overlapping role with paratroopers and the recon support ones are weaker with one scoped rifle. They have to both compete with riflemen and paratroopers for their role. This is why I made these changes in my mod.
Pathfinders:
Manpower - 240
Target size - .8
Start with no slot items
-Their carbines are quite good. In this new stock state they are comparable to grenadiers. They have a lot of possibilities now as well. Such as now grabbing a pair of bazookas for an effective tank ambusher.
Can be upgraded with their two scoped rifles which have 40 range instead of 35 range while their carbines retain the 35 range. Gain the assassinate ability.
-This same for all the light infantry in my mod. This way a moving does not mean high damage but high support for other combat units. With no one man snipers anymore, in my mod, a single target snipe ability could be quite good when pushing into support weapons. The assassinate ability cost munitions. Scoped rifles consumes both weapon slots.

Scott and late game arty.
I have always found the Scott in a weird place. It does not feel like it should be in that tier. I am not a fan of the Calliop to be non doctrinal either. If I put the 105 in that tier, then I am compelled to swap the Jackson with at dedicated 76 as well. (Got have the selection of Sherman, Sherman, and Sherman) What about the M7 Priest? Like all howitzers in my mod, I made it have an auto attack. Historically, the M7 was used in both direct and indirect roles. Right now I have the auto attack as a mix of a Brumbar and an ISU. I could mess around and tune it. It can retain a long range barrage ability while still provide a direct(ish) fire support for anti infantry usage. It would still have lower health than a Brumbar but have better range. The Scott could be moved to the Infantry that arrives earlier (5-6 CP?), retain some old stats, and have great mobility.
