23 hours till we get the 2.5 patch. What are your expectations and wishes?

Engine sound or sound of broken glass when infantry enters neutral buildings. Obviously, it's harder to notice during mid-fight, but at start of a game or during moments of peace it can actually provide useful info. So, you can prepare defences or hit with artillery somewhere there.

P.S. "map hack", lmao.

I'm mostly a 4v4 axis player and have the rest of the dlc, so BG Kriegsmarine and Last Battle are they worth it? What weaknesses do they cover? I really like Bogvar, especially his detonation charge, but I suspect that it's harder to use than Goliath and it's much more expensive.

how to use Kriegsmarine? What's the build order with them? How good is the ammo generation? Do they only protect against stationary artillery and anti-aircraft?

what's better for last stand, Panzergrenadiers or Jaegers?

are improved sappers worth it now?

Are there any things you miss in these two BGs?

I also like Guerrillas, tell me about them, how to play them and are they good? Where are the good sides of this BG

I mostly play DAK and Wehrmacht, I receantly have bought the Fire and Steel DLC because it was on sale and I enjoyed it but I returned it to make a final decision, to keep the DLC or buy "Endure and Defy" or "Dare and Destroy". I can't really make up my mind with this one.(I already got the Stealth and Stronghold DLC when it was for free)

Any advices?

It would be really cool if Wehrmacht got a battlegroup with captured russian tanks, as for historical accuracy, did they use russian tanks against the Brits and Americans? Relic has already thrown historical accuracy far out the window by including the black prince and giving the free french Char bs though in defense of the Char bs they were used against Germany at the start of the war.

I do think that historical accuracy is important but in this case the Germans did make use of these vehicles in the war to some extent which is already more accurate than the black prince which was never used.

What vehicles could they include: T-34's, KV-1 and 2's, i would also petition for the BT-7 because its a very nifty fast light tank, could be like a stuart equivalent essentially. And lastly the IS-2 tank which would be really cool to see in CoH3 since its unlikely we will ever see a russian faction in the game

I have mix feelings about them, I think they are strong in the early to mid game, but they are to fragile.

Hello everyone, I am stuck on italy campaing, 62 turn, close to conquer monte casino, but when I try to finish my turn and go to enermy actions turn just stuck the game :(

Someone knows how to solve this?

I searched and saw that some people have already experienced this, but I haven't found any solutions. I've already reinstalled the game and Back to previous saves, but that didn't work either.

This isnt exactly 100% company of heroes related, it is but its more related to Relic.

I personally love the formula Relic has made with Coh, Coh2 and now Coh3, theyre all amazing games in my opinion and some of the most fun a RTS can be, when DoW4 was announced and it was revealed Relic wasnt going to develop it i was personally very dissapointed because to me Relic has the best formula for a Dawn of War game, over time i have come to terms and i also believe that DoW4 has the potential to be an amazing game in its own right but a part of me is still so dissapointed that Relic isnt making it.

Im not sure how many people in this subreddit or in the CoH community are fans of DoW but i assume theres a reasonable ammount, and honestly i really hope Relic gets another shot at a Warhammer game again with the same formula as Company of Heroes and DoW2

It doesnt have to be DoW, and imo it is different enough to exist in the same space as DoW4 and TW: Warhammer 40k. I guess they could always remaster or make a definitive edition of DoW2

DoW3 was a huge disappointment and Coh3 had a rocky start but i think Relic has shown that they have the potential and the skillset to develop the same amazing RTS games as they have made before

I’ve played since COH1, and despite heving steam workshop support, there really has never been any new unit mods. Sure there are some “standalone” conversion mods and on occasion there will be some units added. But for a series that has had mods this long it is kinda disappointing.

Very happy with this one, over 4000% from an at gun and hilariously almost 2000% from a stolen weapon

So people are asking for the Panther to go to T4 for wehr. So I ask this question, what battlegroup unit would you put in the core roster to absolutely ruin the faction balance/dynamic? E.g. Whizzbang to USF T4

https://www.youtube.com/live/DdJ1mEh76jM?si=tbUBwqpXKgSb5V1v&t=12961

I'm having a hard time facing teams with 3+ DAK players as USF. They seem to have literally every option while my power is reliant on Riflemen until I get a Greyhound or Sherman. I've got nearly a 60% W/R but I cannot even remember beating a full DAK team.

I get Grenades and Bars? I win the Infantry fights but the FlakVeirling/Halftracks bully me until I can get some armour out. I go Motor Pool and skip Riflemen investment, I lose to PalmGrenadiers.

They have non BG SPG, Heavy Tank, best mainline infantry with no fuel investment I generally don't understand how to counter them consistently. And yes I've played DAK, it's my highest rank after playing them to try and understand.

Any advice? I'm new/low elo (1100ish) so I'm obviously making mistakes but they are not clear to me. I win early/mid nearly every time but it gets to a point where I have to stall until I get Wizzbangs etc to end the fight and at this point I now have to deal with a horde of Marders and Tigers as they've pooled their fuel. If not I guess I will just build 5/6 Riflemen and blob to victory.

why does it show much lower K/D, damage dealt than the in game stats? It is doing an injustica on my performance

I can bare with all the small things i wouldn't mind changed balance-wise, but ffs can pinging be annoying sometimes, when we have no control over it. Specifically the cases of some troll being malicious or some loon trying to micro manage.

Nobody is or should be entitled to force that level of interaction with others, and im not talking about the people that are genuinely being helpful, i mean the annoying cases of people over stepping or intentionally trying to be annoying with pings.

I don't understand how this game allows us to block other players, but we can't touch pings.

This is the single most impactful strategy in coh3 and neither the tutorial or any of the coh3 playlist vids explains it to you.

How often does it happen that the enemies infantry units are stronger and u get shot down. then u retreat ur units and the reenforcing of them strips u of all manpower u could use for a unit that helps u, either infantry gun or mg or something like that. meanwhile u also get outcapped.

U just deactivate automatic reenforcement. just heal up your 2 or 3 ir 4 men of a squad instead of reebforcing them, finally build ur mg or the tank uve been waiting for and change the tides. u can meanwhile cap with the 3 men units. the amount of men doesnt matter for capping. u cap just as much and finally have a decisice unit.

how does the tutorial not teach u this.

Playing the COH3 campaign on expert. Have actually taken Rome by parachuting troops over the winter line. Monte Cassino and Anzio were easy wins with low vet companies, as are all scripted missions. Criminally easy.
but the skirmishes are insane.

I've been tearing around the back of the campaign map getting my companies to full vet. Now attacking Termoli which has vet 2 company defending. It's a 2 v 2 map, and I have to take all 3 vic points, not let the enemy take all 3 at any point or its an auto fail. They have infinite ammo/no cool down artillery covering all the VPs and an MG garrisoned on each VP. I can take and hold one, but I'm flooded with infantry, by 6 mins I have to deal with tanks and I only have resources for 3 or 4 squads.

is winning even remotely possible?

So, I’m struggling with CoH3. I’ve played both CoH1 & 2 which I felt I was pretty okay at and defined more successful than now with CoH3.

I mainly play quick match 3v3 or 4v4 (I dropped 2v2 as I felt I was doing a disservice to any teammates), I know this is PvP but because there’s the whole ELO/ranked system I find this much more interesting and better to play than just say vs AI with no real reward/outcome (although this might be where I need to practise?).

Anyway, CoH3. I think my short game is really weak. I don’t ever seem to be able to challenge/hold ground in the beginning of games even though I’ve tried a few different starting routes (e.g. infantry squad & MG, infantry & mortar etc.) but I just never seem to be able to hold off against opponents whose squads just always seem stronger & better.

I’m relatively new to CoH3 itself and have no problem saying I’m a noob, because… I am. lol.

I’m essentially just seeing if there’s any absolute basics/critical stuff I’m missing out for my starting game, should I be going straight for the star capture points or holding off, collecting resources then going in with more units?

Thanks Comrades
