So the SU-76, I have used this unit extensively since COH 2 launched. My opinion on it is that it is not a bad unit for its timing but it doesn't scale well or offer anything of value late game that isn't better spent on other things. It has no real role nor does it offer any meaningful support.


First Veterancy :

Vet 1
Unlocks the "Tank Hunter Camouflage" ability

Vet 2
-25% recharge time of the "Light Artillery Barrage" ability.
+16.7% damage.
+30% accuracy.
+20% ac/de-celeration.

Vet 3
+25% reload speed.
+17.5% rotation speed.
+11.1% range of the "Light Artillery Barrage" ability


The SU-76 Veterancy doesn't offer it anything useful that allows it to scale into the end game. It is all over the place with a bunch of different random things that it doesn't really need. Before any buff or nerf the Vet is really in need of a rework/overhaul. The Unit needs additional penetration/sight through vet rather than accuracy (vehicle target sizes are rather large and it rarely misses even without Vet so its wasted here)
Also the improvements to the units acceleration/rotation via vet should be made baseline as it is a very cumbersome unit to work with.

Second the Unit really should have switchable Ammo - HE Ammo with similar strength to the USF M8 Scott auto fire (with 35-40 range not 60) would allow it to support better. With a bigger price tag (say 10 more fuel) it could be an additional choice over the T-34.

They (Balance Team) gutted Infantry Sections into the ground without giving British any proper support weapons hence why they have the lowest Win Rate in the game across all game modes.

On Top of that they even nerfed the Vet 1 ability which made Vickers actually useful inside a building. Its pretty bad at the moment and needs UC to supress for it since it cant do it on its own very well.

Spam Mines in the hopes that you catch it, you can use T-34 RAM and focus fire it down. Mark Target works pretty well against the SturmTiger as well.

If you are playing with a British team mate tell them to make an AEC. They can combo the AEC Tread Break ability into Firefly Tulips and you guys can take it down very easily. (Especially if you do other forms of CC like T-34 Ram, using off map while its stunned/immobilized from AEC)

i think the capping in coh3 isnt that obvious, you cant tell whether your unit is capping. hope its just pre alpha missing the visual indicators

The UI is just garbage

Obviously they don't need to re-invent the wheel, at least in terms of the base gameplay but this recent demonstration didn't hype me that much.

Yeah I am quite disappointed with COH 3. To be honest it looks like its going to be Dawn of War 3 all over again.
