Thread: Aftermath's Feedback/Wishlist24 Mar 2023, 23:08 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2023, 22:15 PMAftermath Feature: Configurable Audio Cues This would be the dream! I feel like COH3 is a lot more noisey and I either miss import stuff like grenade warnings or they don't trigger. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Withdraw & Refit Light Vehicle22 Mar 2023, 19:27 PM I tested it yesterday and despite its name it also works on the AA crusader. So I suppose there is some strategy where you rush AA and then refund it to tech up... but on its face its not great. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Jaegers9 Mar 2023, 19:44 PM You just have to realize that you can't count on armor to bounce shreks at all. For US you just screen your tanks with Infantry while popping HE shells and get cheeky wipes until they run out of Munis to spam shreks. Brits can out-infantry spam and have more LMG options to just laser them long range. Either way Jaeger blobs are lame as fuck. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Hotfix 1.0.5 - March 6, 20239 Mar 2023, 19:40 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2023, 18:23 PMdonofsandiego Lmfao. My brit teammate didn't believe me when I told him that the dingo beats the 250. We were having a convo about how ass the AT rifles were, and he said: "brits don't have a counter to the 250 early game any more because of this." Then I said "build a dingo". He didn't believe me, and went totally silent when we tested it in a custom game and the dingo shat on the 250 Only knew that one thanks to you, Katitof. Kudos. +1 I also was like. "...Really?" Tested it and then promptly Dingoed a 250 in my next game for good measure. 10/10 Would recommend In: COH3 Central

Which I don't consider surprising because it doesn't even apply to freshly built Sherman 76es. Which is probably a god-send considering how strong 76 spam is even without upgraded armor. I don't know if I feel brave enough to play Axis if they ever fix that bug without nerfing 76 spam somehow lol In: COH3 Central

Special mention to how strong bersaglieri is with permanent sprint and run and gun 2xBredas, its almost brainless. Jaggers with shrecks still reliably kill infantry (they better be, because they otherwise cant effectively trade with 2xBAR rifles) Wehr T2 >>>>>>>>>>>> Wehr T3 Seems like the game promotes spamming a single type of unit instead of having a diverse army composition...which is..not good PD: Panther and EZ8 still crap Mostly not wrong sadly. Paths (or at least early game performance) needs nerfed. Not sure how much of Path spam is just because US struggles otherwise. (God forbid they nerf 76 crutch) Bersaglieri sprint needs to be a timed ability - so stupid that a game predicated on map control has mainline unit that can cap up the map faster than other factions. PZ Gren early game needs improved so Bersaglieri don't feel somewhat mandatory. AI specialists can deal with Shrek Jaegers just fine - I think it's more the shrek being overtuned- mediums can't (or very rarely) bounce them and even a couple can threaten Churchills. It's just Shrek Volk blob deja vu for all the same reasons that was cancer. Panzergrens are very solid but anti-everything blob >>>> AT gun combined arms tier. Medium tank spam in general just seems way too efficient. Crusaders are probably too cheap but rest of Brit tank roster is actually usable if less efficient. PZ3 scale so well with upgrades that you don't have a reason to go for Armor Reserves unless you're so far ahead in resources that it doesn't matter. 76 Sherman dominates Panzer 3/4 so hard without sacrificing AI that it's a no brainer. Regular Sherman HE shells wreck infantry way harder than Dozer can ever dream of. Brumbar isn't enough of an AI specialist to justify going for over faster PZ4 generalist. Medium tank swarms mean going for rocket arty is suicide and it has no place in 1v1 unless you're playing a turtler. Don't get me wrong... I freaking love the medium tank combat in COH3 it's often frenetic and fun as hell but I'd like to not feel punished if I want to build something other than medium tank spam... In: COH3 Central
Thread: Whizzbang7 Mar 2023, 19:47 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2023, 07:11 AMLoopDloop I still don't understand why you would build this unit other than to counter turtling with team weapons (which it can't because it literally has to go in at range to fire). Much better off just making another normal sherman at the moment for cheaper price. OR! 1. Fire a couple of Barrages and get Vet 1. 2. Turn it into a normal Sherman 3. ??? 4. Profit! In all seriousness, does anybody know offhand if the "Improvised Armor" from Mech Support Center applies to Whizbang? At least that would be one way to make it slightly more user friendly. Honestly, they should have made one of the Vet 1 options be a "Area Saturation" barrage that gives it more range but higher scatter - think Land Mattress. The buffs do look promising though~ In: COH3 Central
Thread: Hotfix 1.0.5 - March 6, 20237 Mar 2023, 19:11 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2023, 01:13 AMtheekvn not sure about genaral MG supression buff and Reduction cost of .50 cal air drop. People would spam it as mainline unit ? :? Nah dawg, Pathfinders are too good right now to not get. The fact that they made Weapon Support Center cheaper to build AND you can build it right away means that the cost and time savings from air-dropping them probably doesn't make sense as a "Maxim Spam 2.0" build order. Personally, I'd only see going for it if you really value the air-drop onto the battlefield aspect of the ability. (Or if they eventually nerf Pathfinders to make them less of a no-brainer) Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2023, 19:04 PMGrim Boys AT rifles bug is making playing vs HT a nightmare lol Not aware of this bug. What is it? Edit- I see John updated the Patch notes. So sounds like they are doing 50% damage now? Ouch. Guess Stuart for mobile AT for now eh? In: COH3 Central
Thread: Where is Replays?7 Mar 2023, 19:04 PM In the DEV forums Launchday FAQ there is a detailed explanation. But in short Right-click Company of Heroes 3 in your Steam library and select Properties Under Launch Options, input the following argument string without the quotes, and be sure to change “filename” to whatever you saved your replay file as. (So "temp" if you want to watch your last game.) "-replay playback:filename.rec" It will launch the game and then directly load the replay. Edit- it will only be from your perspective so limited usefulness if you are looking to figure out what your opponent did. In: COH3 Central

M4 76 horde would be defended easily by 88mm and mines, Really hope the traverse speed of the 88 gets nerfed... so silly that it spins on a dime to keep pace with flanking tanks. In: COH3 Central
