Not quite. That change didn't make it in but they did add sand bags to Ostruppen that you get through Relief Infantry- so in theory those Ostruppen are more viable now especially since they 100% get LMG. I think it will take some time to feel Ostruppen out since they got another early game nerf but they scale better. It might be better to build some mix of both Grens and Ostruppen in this patch...

I usually mix Grens and Ostruppen now on live, works well as a meat shield or cover for your MG-42 while your Grens have a little more freedom.

Honestly if Relic doesn't want to make CoH3, then I hope they don't. Video games are always much better when the dev team has a passion for it.

We saw the passion that they put into Dawn of War 3 and it ended up being the worst game they ever made. Losing Brian Wood was the biggest loss/disaster that ever happened to Relic. He was the Lead Designer in all of the past Relic Titles and Dawn of War 3 (and partial coh 2) was the first game without him and it flopped hard.


Even if Relic made COH 3 the passion/quality will be gone and people will most likely claim COH2 is a better game. Age of Empires 4 will really prove if Relic has what it takes. If AOE 4 fails then Relic is pretty much a goner.

They should really update/increase the cone of fire for many vehicles in the game as that is one the main issues that causes vehicles to spin since they have this need to want to face everything they are attacking.

For example Universal Carriers main gun has a 15 degree angle, while a Kubelwagon has a 30 degree angle in which the gun can move before requiring the vehicle to turn. Realistically these weapons had a much larger cone in which they could shoot in real life. Now granted real life shouldn't be used for balancing purposes however the cone angle is so small on some vehicles that it is rather ridiculous.

Its like taking a Panzer 4 which has a turret and requiring the vehicle to always face the enemy even though it has a turret that can move.

Hell non turreted vehicles like the SU-85 have the same 15 degree angle as a mounted tripod Machine Gun which literally makes no sense at all.

I would like to see a quality of life patch that addresses this on some vehicles in cases that make sense. It would help with vehicle pathing and usability on many vehicles instead of trying to create a bandaid via Handbreak.

There should be an option to toggle between detailed view and normal view.

Agreed, I always turn on Advanced/Detailed Tooltips in any game I play that has the option to pick.













Granted these photos are really old but I originally wanted to add clarity to what upgrades did/gave as well. Whether it was tech like Hammer/Anvil or unit upgrades.

SVT Cons are fine. Keep in mind that the commander doesn't have a heavy tank or anything amazing late game. They do a good job at countering blobs as conscripts become useful instead of shooting wet noodles at the enemy.
