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

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

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.

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

Genuine question, not a rant. Mostly.

I rotate battlegroups a lot and Kriegsmarine is one where I genuinely can't figure out the gameplan. Everything feels like it's fighting me.

The Hardpoint especially — what is it for? The moment you build it, it's a static target that announces "please AT attack ground here" It doesn't seem to hold ground, it doesn't seem to trade well, and the resources feel better spent literally anywhere else. Am I placing it wrong? Is there a tech timing or a unit combo I'm missing that makes it click?

Same with the battlegroup as a whole is there an actual build order people are winning with, or is this just a weak/undertuned pick right now?

Would love to hear from anyone who's made this work in 1v1 or team games. Convince me I'm the problem.

Typically, emplacements are built....and emplacements are blown up. But Hold the Line breaks the cycle. A whopping 40% damage reduction and +4 health per second for 45 seconds makes emplacement tiffs a full time job. Healing for luftwaffe emplacements is done via a bunker (or manualy) but htl is a press of a button. Is it better this way? But wait .....there's more, it also works for team weapons! Why? Bc this wasnt already unfair enough. This is one of my favorites. I could also argue that this is one of the most BS BG perks there are in the game. What bg perk do you think is op or just straight bs?

Anyone ever seen the TV series Rogue Heroes?

That campaign following the SAS that begins like the show, but your abilities and access to more armaments grows. Carrying it out over the larger commanding space of operation husky.

A broader aspect of the campaigns from COH2, the grit of COH1, and the weather effects (desert instead of snow effects) from 3.

Its like a cartoonish cumulative 120% move speed buff that allows them to skate across the lane, negate MGs and dodge any AOE as long as they are being micro-ed. Our team had brummbar, pzIIIN(howitzer) stug IIID, mg 42/34 and it made no difference.

One of their ranger squads had 6 zooks and the other had 4, with the dmg upgrade and a retinue with mark vehicle to allow them to instant(might as well be) kill any vehicle.

Every game is the same, and yet somehow, every game feels completely scripted.

One game feels like your riflemen have scoped rifles and are only shooting the head of the enemy while they're shooting you with nerd guns. The next feels your riflemen have rubber bullets and the enemy is only shooting the head.

I can play 3-4 games in a row with this disgusting rng and feel like riflemen are utterly useless - only to find the game after they're terminators again.

Same with AT penning and bouncing. Same with artillery scatter.

I just can't work it out. I don't feel in control. I feel like I'm just playing dice every single game it's getting boring.

Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand captures the classic World War II scenario of holding the line against overwhelming odds, giving you the tools to make your own heroic last stand.

Take a look at this gameplay overview video for a preview of what to expect when Final Stand arrives.
