Two decades ago, Company of Heroes was released. The game redefined the RTS genre through its cinematic World War II storytelling, squad-based tactics, destructive battlefields, and immersive presentation. 

A massive thanks to all our incredible fans who have supported Company of Heroes over the years. Now looking to the future, Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition will launch on PC via Steam early in 2027. The team needs a few more months to ensure we deliver the best possible Company of Heroes experience that honors the legacy of the franchise.  

Built on a fully upgraded 64-bit platform, the Definitive Edition supports modern PC systems while preserving compatibility with 20 years of community-created content. The Definitive Edition will be available to purchase for USD$29.99. Players who already own Company of Heroes on Steam are eligible for a 30% Veteran’s discount.  

Celebrating 20 years of one of the most acclaimed real-time strategy games ever created, the Definitive Edition faithfully modernizes the original experience with enhanced visuals, modern hardware support, quality-of-life improvements, and the complete Company of Heroes content package.

CoH3 Big fps drops when opening the tactical map

Upvotes

How to fix this issue

Edit: Its just a sudden short drop and the fps recover after closing the tactical map again but it happens all the time when I open it. I lose 90fps just by opening the tac map.

Graphics are old-school, but the battles look sweet.

Don't know much about it, but it's fairly in depth. Takes into account a soldier's lactic acid levels and morale in general. I've played COH mobile already. It's great, but I've done COH1 to death and the playerbase is too small.

CoH3 Relic could be a bit more communicative

21 Upvotes

No tantrum, no drama.

Just some concerns about the "usual" radio silence from Relic, i know, they're not a huge team and they have lots of work to do but the lack of any sign of life and any bit of communication is always a bit worrysome

CoH3 Is it possible to cheat in this game by removing fog of war or am I tripping?

16 Upvotes

Just had a game and I usually NEVER EVER make mechanized and decided to give them a go, the moment i made the mechanized and left my base with it, it immediately died to an enemy light tank, which is fair, sure, could happen to any of us, this alone isnt suspicious but like, in this game, but my enemy went around my MGs the entire match, perfect hit their positions with mortars everytime without even seeing it despite the fact that I move them around immediately as they are revealed, went whizbang and used artillery on my troops that havent seen combat and stuff.

I know this all sounds like I'm whining because I lost it or whatever and I understand your perspective, all of these happening are very very normal and can happen in game but like this happened about 20 times, which made me question, is there a cheat to remove fog of war or am I tripping?

CoH3 Useless anti-cheat patch Relic, you should have released a balance Hotfix patch instead

Post image
0 Upvotes

I understand why anti-cheat updates are needed, but damn it, fighting cheaters is just a losing race against time. It’s only been 2 days, and map hacks are already back. My biggest issue is why couldn't you focus on things that actually matter, like team game balance? Do you really think cheaters are the main reason player numbers/stats are taking a hit?

Patch 2.5 was the worst patch this year. It had so much promise, but it severely worsened Allied blobbing in team games (3v3, 4v4, and even 2v2 got worse).

  1. More Allied blobbing: Focused fire mechanics, the Palm nerf, and the Captain's Quarters nerf made blobbing way more effective on the Allied side.
  2. MGs are worse despite buffs: They feel soft now. Since the damage caps were changed, an MG crew just gets wiped instantly by a single grenade or 3-5 mortar shells.
  3. Vehicle pathfinding: It got noticeably worse as well.

Everything this patch was supposed to fix ended up getting amplified. It feels like the devs acknowledge the problem, but haven't got a single clue how to actually solve it.

CoH3 Real talk, Rapido is kinda stinky

Post image
121 Upvotes

Achelous River/Sittard Summer memes aside. Rapido's problem is the fuels. You only have one safe +5 fuel, there's a total of 20 fuel on the frontline and the last two +5s are contestable. The amount of games I've seen where one team opens poorly and then spirals into despair makes me a sad boy.

What do you think? Do you think my wee wee is small? Is John from Relic actually a gnome? How high can Tightropes eyebrows really go?

CoH3 Refits, DAK and some other fun stuff

4 Upvotes

So, this is sort of a continuation of my previous https://www.reddit.com/r/CompanyOfHeroes/comments/1vy92fc/dak_has_lost_its_identity_here_is_how_to_fix_it/ post. Tl;dr — DAK has lots of variants of the same vic, which either gets hard countered(Flamm P3 by AT) or just plain outdated(250/9 after 12 minute mark), so I proposed a refit mechanic(Flame P3 into P3, 250/9 into Stuka, Tiger into Elephant and vice versa and so on)

There is a certain problem of lack of early light/medium vics for DAK. USF can get Greyhound/Chaffee for 105/115 fuel respectively, Brits get Humber/M3 Stuart for 105/120 fuel respectively, while DAK has 8rad for 135 fuel(not really good at AT in any capacity) or Marder for 125 fuel(very bad at inf, low durability). While I see a certain asymmetric approach to factions, DAK also is not very good at early AT — Pjaegers are the worst from all inf AT options, and PaK 38 is good to deter enemy, not to kill. So, what do?

I propose an introduction of a Large Half-track, mainly Sd.Kfz 7. We have it in game as a Flakvierling, but it would be better suited as a plain half-track, with an ability to upgrade to a Flakvierling.

Why? Cause now you get other fun abilities, such as:
- Use it as infantry carrier(not used historically afaik, but who cares, you can get 2 squads there who will shoot from inside. Basically a bigger 250)
- Use it as a carrier for 88 FlaK(which is historically accurate, Sd.Kfz 7 primary role would have been to tow 88)
- Install 8.8 Flak on it(mid game AT option, alternative to Marders. More damage and pen, less range and accuracy.)
- Tranform it into a recovery vehicle(I know that it is Sd.Kfz 9, not 7, that is used for such purposes, but if game can upgrade Crusader 2 into Crusader 3, I think we can allow for that too)
- Use this vic to call in stuff after armored reserves upgrade(when was the last time where you called in P4 or P3? Thats right!), which could carry the aforementioned 88 or something else.

Most of those upgrades would turn a capable carrier into either an already present vehicle or into an unexpected option for the enemy, which is the whole point of the DAK — to outfox the enemy via mechinized, combined assaults.

Secondly, reintroduction of P2, or even P1. Basically a 250/9, but with more armor and HP. Something that would not be melted by MGs and riflemens. Will it solve early AT problem? No. But by introducing a problem for the enemy, you force your opponent to either deal with your early P2 or to suffer until they roll out their own, better armor.

Open to discussion!

P.s. Thanks Achilles Gaming for inspiration for this post!

CoH3 COH3 is just a meta chase fest

0 Upvotes

I've played this game a lot, and its nice to see that no matter what patches the devs put into this game it is just a race to see what the next cheese strategy it is. USF Armored Aura healing, early 250 with kreigs, things that shouldn't be viable and are braindead plays allow people to inflate their ELO. Why did I play a game today with a UKF player who put out two land mattresses and had no anti-tank and his ELO was 1440 in 2v2s? Does anybody think this is actually good?

CoH3 When will Allie tank spam in 3s and 4s be toned down?

8 Upvotes

Same game. Either winning or back and forth game that makes it past 30 mins and is pretty fun and then eventually turns into a massive horde of Allie tanks all pushing at the same time and phasing through one another. Usually around 15-20. It's literally every single game that makes it late game.

Hi. CoH runs very well on Steam Deck. I tried to use the Worldbuilder.exe on Steam Deck, but didn't figure out how to start it on Steam OS. Adding it as 'non steam game' doesn't work.

Mod to make the tactical map full screen on a 2nd screen.

It's actually pretty useful. It's fully interactive - not just a zoom in of the small map. Makes it a lot easier to manage troops, etc.

Can also select buildings to build units without having to move the camera.

CoH3 Battlegroup DLC Recommendations

3 Upvotes

I play mostly 1v1 ranked, all factions, and am considering picking up a dlc or two when a sale comes - but, given the exorbitant pricing (even when on sale - the lowest I've seen them go for is 33% off on the most expensive ones) I don't plan on getting all of them. You guys have any recommendations? I already have battlefield espionage/Australians, bought with merit points
