It's actually not that big of a deal to run coh2 smoothly in 2020.

I don't play 4v4 but in 1v1 to 3v3 I basically never get any unplayable lag. The FPS drop in late-game 3v3 when there is plenty of artillery but it's still manageable and there will be a 64bit version of COH2 soon (TM) so it's only going to get better in the next months.

I play on a Ryzen 7 2700X + RX 480 + 16 GB DDR4 (3000Mhz). There is no secret to COH2 performance.

I'd suggest switching to AMD instead of Intel to get better value for your money especially considering your budget seems to be very limited.

You can get an AM4 mainboard for around $50 and build from there.

Completely forget the stuff you listed here, GTX 1030 and 4GB Ram in 2020 is a terrible idea.

It is funny that the best stock medium tanks are the first one to be fielded (both P4s),

In which world does the OKW P4 come earlier than allied medium tanks?

The patch changes a lot about OKW vs Brit balance. AEC timing nerf, capping nerf (further delaying aec), valentine massively delayed, sturm schreck making the aec even worse, insane hetzer and ostwind timing, possibility of quick obers, free heal included in an already extremely powerful tech route

AEC timing nerf only helps Ostheer as UKF doesn't need a super-fast AEC against OKW anyway or do you built it to counter Kübelwagen?

Capping nerf is next to meaningless in anything but 1v1.

Valentine having a build time is a delay but nothing specific about the OKW/UKF match-up that I am complaining about. I don't see how this change fixes the entire OKW/UKF match-up.

The Hetzer and Ostwind timing is not insane you can get a Cromwell with the same timing.

Calling BG HQ "extremely powerful tech" is ridiculous and you know it.

As things stand, UKF will still walk all over OKW because there is simply no way to stop Infantry Sections backed up by UC, sniper and Vickers HMG. I don't want to comment about 1v1 but 2v2+ is MASSIVELY unbalanced on almost all maps and no one who is somewhat objective will claim otherwise.

The main problem as it is, is simply Volks not being able to do anything against Infantry Sections. This gets even worse when you add stuff like sniper which again OKW can't properly counter and UC which requires a Raketenwerfer which gives UKF an even bigger infantry advantage.

Just checked. Fields of winnekendonk, mid VP, max range cover to cover vet3 rifles vs vet5 volks. Both max upgraded. Volks won 8/10 fights.

Lmao sure dude.

I just checked and double bar vet 3 riflemen won without dropping a single model vs vet 5 volks with STGs. At max-range + behind sandbags everyone in green cover. Are you sure you tested this in coh2 and not some other game?

Just FYI if you don't believe me:

A Bar has 3.9 DPS at max range while a STG has 1.44. A Riflemen Garand has 1.7 and a Volks K98 1.8 while Riflemen have 0.64 RA at vet 3 and Volks have 0.77.

So it's not even close that double Bar Riflemen have a huge advantage.

I assumed when Bar'd rifles would end up winning out at max range, if im honest. I hadn't tested it, though. I'm almost certain they do if they have 1919s.

Double Bar Riflemen completely stomp STG VGs at any range.
