DAK's T4 tech is prohibitively expensive

you need to pay 350MP (not the usual 300MP for the other factions) and 130F just to get to a decent panzer 3 (not even a panzer 4), a 40F (too much?) AT gun and a stuka (which is pretty good).

why go for T4 then if you can just stick with T3 and spam light tanks to cover all of your needs? i suspect that the high price of t4 and it's underwhelming selection of units contributes to (but not exclusively accounts for) the rather stale light tank spam meta...

and then you need to pay 200MP and 150F (!!!) to get to armored call-ins, most of which cost a lot of MP to get, as they contain infantry squads most people probably do not want anyway (same applies to the USF EZ8 call-in)

the only solid call-in in terms of price is the one with two stug Gs.

the tiger costs another whopping 700MP and 180F, and even if you somehow manage to get to that stage, the game is probably almost over because of the overly fast VP tick rate.

these super high tech costs are made worse by the fact that DAK is a heavily MP starved faction... compared to the other factions, i find myself struggling with MP bleed all the time - losing an infantry squad like a pgren or an assgren is really crippling, and the armory upgrades (the half of which you actually need) are all MP based.

thoughts?

CoH3 has a lot of issues right now that hurt the player experience.

Tank explosions is not one of them.

well it does hurt my experience, i cannot shake the feeling that what i got with coh3 is a visual downgrade compared to its predecessor, a 10year old game

The current meta is just awful. I dont know if its just recency bias but it feels way worse than coh2 ever did

I started coh2 like 6 months after relase tho so maybe i just missed this period in coh2. But for all its crazy balance problems i dont remember it being this dumb

so you must have been there to witness 4min t70s and invincible tiger aces

Probably a slightly crazy take but I actually think the loiters can stay exactly as powerful & impactful as they are right now IF all factions get an AA unit that is exactly as effective vs loiters as the USF M16 Quad.


If the opponent has one M16, the axis loiters won't even make it until their first strafe. Feel free to test yourself in cheat mod





USF doesn't have any attack loiters, you mean the rocket loiter from British Air & Sea BG

i disagree

you shouldnt have a one click army deleter like the wehr luftwaffe loiter

you also shouldnt have a unit that immediately negates airplane abilities like the usf quad...you can basically park it in your base, leaving it almost invulnerable, all just for 30 fuel in t2

both loiters and aa units should be viable, even when both are on the field

There is so much allied op trash, from pathfinder + sniper to AT blob you cant do anything, if u say else have probably spammend 4v4 no skill teir.
It has just no counter, u manage early map control and at a time of a puma there will be 2 para+zook, u try early motorcycle? np there will be 3-4 pathfinder covering that sniper and maybe a mg.

Could continue about utter cheese for ages.

Now ppl complain about the last remaining unit that does anything.

(reasonable) people complain because they're tired of any faction's cheese, not just axis cheese
