Thread: poll: call in vehicles as a design choice10 Jan 2023, 02:06 AM Conceptually there's nothing wrong with call-ins (or almost any mechanic, I feel), as long as the concept is executed correctly. Lots of examples of interesting concept but bad execution, though (blizzards, coh2 early lifecycle call-ins, abandons...). Looking forward to see how they get things like elevation, recovery vehicles, and of course call-ins right or wrong this time around. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Making M-42's canister shot more player friendly15 Jan 2022, 01:13 AM I feel like this is an issue of: 1. QOL fix as suggested is logical and acts as a functional indirect buff to a bad ability (M42 frag rounds) 2. But applying QOL fix to currently strong units (AP/HE sherman) for the sake of consistency (itself a good thing) might result in its own balance issues. In: Lobby
Thread: Lefh 1056 Nov 2021, 16:00 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2021, 15:22 PMKatukov the okw has leig 18 fire rounds & walking stuka vet 1 ability that also has fire Clearly talking about heavy artillery. If you want to expand the scope, allies have loads more light/medium/heavy arty doctrinal / nondoctrinal options anyway generally (quality notwithstanding). okw and ostheer sharing one arty piece is pretty boring, having the same relevant vet only makes it more obvious. Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2021, 15:25 PMBlebfeesh Ill respond to the rest: LeFHs don't need variety. They already have different vet bonuses with the OKW getting vet 5 LefHs which fits the factions' intended designs. Veterancy and statwise identical until the OKW version gets vet 4/5, which only unlocks a quite uninspired / bad ability- for all intents and purposes they're the same, nothing special about the OKW lefh that fits the faction particularly other than having two extra stars. Don't see why people ever think variety is a bad thing, as long as it isn't confusing - more interesting sandbox of units /abilities always adds to the game, they don't have to be better/stronger. Its a pity the hummel or similar didn't make it into coh2, would've been a neat counterpart to priest/sexton and probably less annoying than LEFH anyway since it would have higher cost / shorter range.

Thread: Black Prince Poll21 Jul 2021, 05:09 AM I feel like the Black Prince belongs in the same box as the Maus, T28, etc, - i.e. rejected and/or would never see combat, and a little too far beyond the bounds of plausibility - unlike the ostwind, IR searchlights, or even super pershing, which did. While the boundary of believability isn't absolute, and certainly many disagree about where it lies in an arcadey-ww2 game like COH, there's definitely some special oddness to inclusion of the BP that I believe has provoked warranted discomfort. I'd prefer not to see it in coh3, and would instead rather have the comet, firefly, or challenger - or if the particular role of slow tank destroyer is very important to fill, APDS rounds for the Churchill 6pdr.

Thread: Where are the Panzer IIIs?21 Jul 2021, 04:45 AM I'd speculate that the upcoming DAK faction will feature panzer IIIs. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Base building automatons15 Jul 2021, 13:49 PM I would like the ability to powerbuild / cut down time to construct significantly by assisting the automatons with engineers (or conversely, increase time for automatons to construct unaided) -> restores element of choice / decisionmaking / tradeoffs - can rush out units if your macro strategy relies on it -> less crippling to lose an engineer in the early game (not bad in itself, but perhaps not a design path COH3 is going for), but still results in meaningful punishment for the enemy should you wipe a key squad In: COH3 Central

Thread: COH3- Vram issues14 Jul 2021, 17:40 PM Anyone else encountered this? Verified integrity of game files, then reinstalled game (once on hdd, once on ssd) Playing results in very low fps even when graphics are turned down to the absolute lowest: In: COH3 Central
