I'd also like to point out that the Soviets don't have any commanders that add units at minute 0. My suggestion for that, a lend-lease Universal Carrier, gives that option. It can fill in (to a minor extent) for a scout car or maxim. Anything would be interesting to see, though. Overall, I think adding a Soviet commander with no new abilities would be a mistake, since half of their commanders don't have any unique abilities already. Agreed altho the Airborne Guards would technically be something new and unique for the Soviets like already mentioned but I'm not sure how they would go to combine it with a UC but in general I would like to see both yes. Also maybe an MG nest. In: Lobby

You never really know but I hope you're right. In: Lobby

I know this sounds crazy at first but what screwed DoW3 was its design and Relic wont do the same design mistake again. From a programming standpoint, DoW3 was just amazing. No bugsplats, no lag, no crashes, almost no bugs etc etc I see your point but still, would you rather play a half decent game with half decent gameplay and a few bugs here and there or a totally free of bugs game but with shitty gameplay?

I just said I don't think new commanders improve the game. core gameplay = regular tech units. Commanders in coh2 are extremely flawed. Changing the meta by introducing new commanders is a terrible idea in my opinion. No offense but if you want the same damn thing every time with just some minor balance tweaks here and there you should have a look at StarCraft II. Besides, it's free, for the most part at least. I play CoH for a few reason which include somewhat historical accuracy as well as the RNG involved in the game, meaning that no 2 matches will be the same. In: Lobby

He kinda has a point, they released Halo Wars on PC after almost like 10 years and then did Halo Wars 2 on both PC and console. What's stopping them from dumbing down both AoE4 and CoH3 to make them also fit on consoles? That's why I'm keeping a close eye on Iron Harvest as well since I'm scared that they're wish to also be on console might ultimately hurt the game more than it would help. In: Lobby
Thread: Discuss for the votes26 Feb 2019, 21:31 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Feb 2019, 21:25 PMMr.Flush I think the new commanders should do two things: Give factions a way to deal with cheesey checkmate strategies or faction exploits and not completely replace other commanders. I think giving brits access to a mortar and okw access to handheld at are brilliant ideas, but i think usf has a lot of meaningless changes in comparison. Alright, I think some things need to be changed to make the new usf commanders fresh and unique from other commanders in usf's arsenal. I'm not suggesting to totally scrap everything in the new commander picks, but I suggest to move abilities around to fit the faction in a logical manner. Here is some input that would logically help usf out: 1. rear echelon package grants them satchels and sandbags( similar to paratrooper charges) to destroy bunkers or trucks and build reliable cover. 2. Some type of early game anti-mg option (top priority). As long as there are narrow maps and multiple mgs being used, mortar ht becomes a must. I'm kinda tired of picking the same two commanders or having to play soviets just to deal with multiple mgs and mortars. A slow firing sniper would help a lot. 3.Stronger medium tanks. Something like easy 8's with more pen. 4. late game indirect. Priest does well here, but the caliope is kinda meh. 1. REs already have Tank Traps which provide green cover so I think the sandbags become kinda obsolete. A combat package upgrade that gives them a satchel sounds practical tho. 2. The Pathfinders already have uhm, "sniping" capabilities so to speak so I think a dedicated sniper squad armed with the M1C Garand sniper is also out of the question sadly and they won't add the Springfield Sniper from the first game. 3. The most they can do is tweak the E8s, again no new models, a lot of people wanted jumbos, including me, but they can only tweak the current Sherman models to the limits of the modding tools which are not much. For example I asked somebody if it's possible to put sandbags on the Sherman and as far as I remember they said that it's not doable. 4. Agreed, Priest really outshines the Calliope hands down. Together with the reason you pointed above with the mortar HT being a reliable anti-garrison unit is why Infantry Company is wayyy more picked rather than Tac Support but I believe they'll need to do a complete revamp in order to fix it while Rifle Company also I believe is due for a revamp as well since it too needs it.

Thread: Discuss for the votes26 Feb 2019, 21:20 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Feb 2019, 20:45 PMSmartie @A. Soldier: Thank you for your summary! On wehrmacht doctrines: I fully support the mod's team idea of including Assgrens to the "Strategic Tank Reserve" doctrine. Reworked Assgrens and Tiger Ace would mean that 2 other doctrines would get more attractive: Elite Troops and Armored Assault. That would be huge! Mechanized Assault was already made more attractive with the improves for the StuG III E and 250 Halftrack tho. In: Lobby
Thread: New ideas for devs to use. AKA Brainstorm.26 Feb 2019, 20:02 PM A Dawn of War style campaign similar to Ardennes Assault which also allows you to play on the opposite side or an entirely new Army. In the case of AA for example I think playing the OKW to mimic the German advance through the Hurtgen forest and then changing to the USF perspective would be a good move. For CoH3 they could do that plus like I said add more Armies like the Brits and possibly Italian-Germans maybe or something. In: COH2 Gameplay

It would be really useful to have a summary of each commander proposal, rather than needing everyone go through the forums to find each one. I'll do a quick summary. OKW - Anti-Tank Tactics/ Panzerjäger doctrine – By Various Concepts primarily revolve around the Pak 40 and an AT squad call in units along with other AT centered abilities. Grand Offensive (renamed) – By Kpen97 Firestorm doctrine ability that gives Volksgrenadiers the MP40 package. Panzerfusiliers. Recon Overflight. HEAT Shells. Command Tiger. UKF - Lend Lead Assault Tactics – By Various Primarily revolves around ideas surrounding the M10 Tank Destroyer in British services as well as a mortar squad and around 3 so concepts of giving them a more mobile infantry play with various other support abilities. Ground Operations Regiment – By Fly1nRabBit Defensive Operations. Designate Command Vehicle. Resupply Halftrack. Hold the Line. Forward Headquarters. USF - Urban Assault Tactics – By Various Ideas primarily suggesting things such as flamethrowers, assault squads (such as Ass Engies and Rangers) and mobile artillery like the Priest/Calliope and various support abilities. Special Support Company – By Aerafield Dozer Blade. Fire up! Rangers. 155 Arty Barrage. Calliope. Looks like this commander shares a lot of "features" like the other various suggestions but they decided to specifically mention it. OST - Strategic Tank Reserves – By Smartie Elite Panzer IV J, same as the previous OKW combat group from Elite Armor. Radio Intercept. Extra Training, this seems to be something along the lines of the German Infantry commander's new ability that boosts their infantry in various ways. Combined Arms, I'm guessing a German equivalent of the USF ability. Reworked Tiger Ace - This I believe is a very good idea and fully support it. Counterattack Tactics – Various A group of general abilities that they've gotten from the various people that suggested many commanders: Assault Grenadiers (improved), Stuka smoke, Heat/ Tungsten shells, Combined Arms, Panzergrenadier Assault Package, Tiger Ace/ King Tiger (improved). SOV - Deep Battle Tactics – By kakenman T-34/85 Rapid Conscription For Mother Russia ML-20 IL-2 Sturmovik Soviet Airborne – By Midnight’s Blade Airborne Guards. Allied Supply Drop. Recon Flight. IL2 ability of some sort. M42 (air dropped I'm guessing but not sure)? I generally like the unique concept of this suggestion since it really gives the Soviets somewhat a new way of playing with the addition of an airborne unit, kinda makes me wonder if such a similar thing can be done with the UKF as well. Something like an Air Dropped Commandos and Officer along with supplies, air support and maybe something else as well. In: Lobby
Thread: Upcoming CoH3 installment (Poll)21 Feb 2019, 08:09 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2019, 23:06 PMRoastinGhost I think the most exciting part of an upcoming CoH game would be new Army designs. I love the vCoH US vs Wehr matchup as much as anyone, but CoH2 followed that design pretty closely with Soviets vs Wehr. I'd like to see some more ideas on how to make armies work without gimmicks. I don't know why they decided to solely, or at least for the most part, rely on gimmicks for all of the other armies besides those that you just mentioned. Which brings me to the thought that much won't change for the next Armies either sadly. In: Lobby
