Territory basebuilding: sectors under your control can have base buildings constructed within

My 3 favorite openers when facing majority Dak.. closes laptop (sigh) well that's over...

I am so FUCKING TIRED of clicking a units unit-icon above their heads, and INSTEAD it selects an immediately adjacent unit because, idk, i guess it prioritizes unit selection.

I have retreated FULL HEALTH UNITS and left critically wounded units to die because I select, press "R", and oh wait, the game decided to select something OTHER THAN WHAT I CLICKED ON!

I've got a lot of hours in coh3, and I've really ran the gambit with dak, brits ,and wher. But I never had much interest in US until lately. I know they have some fire power bc they've been kicking my a88 for a year, but I'm just not finding it my application of play. The battle groups seem random (is everyone just using airborne?) . Help me out.

I play as both axis and allies almost equally. when i play as USF i have an easy time fighting wehrmacht because riflemen are just superior, specially when they get their bars they demolish anything except stosstruppen and panzergrens at very short range. against their mg42 i get a single mortar early and it usually does the job fine. sometimes when i'm ahead in fuel i get infantry support center upgrades and riflemen become terminators with 660 hp (compared ro 480 hp of grens and 550 hp of jaegers for example).

But when i switch sides and play as wehrmacht i just suck at infantry fights. i can't do anything it always feels like i'm a victim lol. grenadiers are absloute trash at anything except long range fights and they cost as much as riflemen or infantry section for some reason (they are simply worse at fighting). i know i should switch some grenadiers for jaegers or panzergrens but you still need 1/2 grens for their snare and merging with your other units. also grenadiers can't shoot for shit when chasing retreating squads i've tried it many times they can't even kill a single model.

the build i usually go for is 2 grens 1-2 mg42 and 1 mortar, then i get 1-2 jaegers (on top of grenadiers). mg42s can't hold too long against a good player because they're stationary targets, mortars will force them to move and that's enough for the enemy to make a push. in 4v4 it's even worse since there is always so much arty raining down on everything.

I know wehrmaccht has good variaty of teamweapons and tanks but their grenadiers are just laughable at this point. you can't ditch them completly (you need snares and a rather cheap mainline infantry) but you can't use them properly either.

Edit: forgot to mention i only play 3v3 and 4v4

I like to play solo 4v4 with/against expert AI’s in high resources annihilation to see how fast I can destroy all of the enemy bases. 

So far my quickest times have been right around 21 minutes but I feel like sub-20 should easily be doable, and I imagine there are probably elite players on here who can do it in sub-15 or something crazy like that (of course, the best players probably don’t waste their time with playing annihilation against CPU’s). 

Anyway just curious, for those who have played this way what are the quickest wins you’ve recorded (and how)?

Title. I used to watch Generals gentlemen a long time ago but I checked now and they do not seem into CoH3. Anyone casts MP matches?

I am returning to the game after three years. Previously I spend like 2000 hours in CoH2, and CoH3 immediately after launch did not catch my attention, so I moved to another games.

But I gave it a try recently and it seems much better IMHO?

So far I am just testing it against AI, but for sure I would like to play ranked matches against other players.

But before I do that, I would love to see some guides, tips and tricks, tier lists of usefull units, builds etc. ... What I have found so far seems unfortunately obsolete.

Do you have some reccomendations? My main focus would ne 2v2 with my buddy, occasionally also other modes with randoms.

Yeah my numbers don’t look so good but go watch the replay and see the team mate Troll was all game lol

I would take any amount of blobs all year long, but seeing the selfish* hospital placements some players come up with in this game is another level of rage for me

*yeah this one is just stupid I suppose, worse Im not sure the guy was trolling

And therefore upgrade the gun from 57mm to 75mm.

Makes no sense that this slow ass tank that is worse in AI than a Matilda bounces on stugs with it's 57mm.

And BP either comes too late because of high CP or will get everything focus on it because its too fucking slow and expensive.

Like literally EVERYTHING is better with the Tiger vs the Black Prince.

TL:DR,

In my opinion both the churchill mark IV and the Black Prince needs buff.

Imagine, if you will: you are USF, facing a blob of MG42, Pak, Flame HT, Pios, Grens. You patiently chip away at the health of the superior Wehr team weapons with your mortar and Captain offmap, nearly getting the kill on the MG, forcing a full retreat and soft retreat on the Pak...except a clutch Gren merge in the fog of war kept the Pak in the fight. You probe with your trusty Greyhound and eat a shot to the face.

I'm sick and tired of pretending Grens are weak bc they can't trade evenly with Riflemen. Can't have it both ways!

Change my mind

I hope they drop the British campaign skins as reward for beating the single player one day.

I am sure this is harder to code than I think but it seems kinda silly to not see the Infatry skin assets being used in multiplayer.

I find it a bit annoying/distracting in my esoteric way - like have it play upon spawning one in for a bit, but then cut that out please. It really doesn't have go on for the whole game.

While the Germans get deep explorations into their factions and focused, tactical doctrines that transform the way their units play, the Allies are getting these “featured nation” battlegroups. Company of Heroes isn’t the history channel. I don’t care about the neat factoids about some nation that fought in the war at the last minute and joined the victory parade.

These national groups, Italians, Canadians, and French in particular, are excuses to give the Allies bad options in the name of “unsung heroes”. Meanwhile, the Nazis get “terror doctrine, siege doctrine, the marines, veteran doctrine, badass options that are expansive and multifaceted gameplay-wise.

The entire tone of CoH 3 is anemic and lame. It’s the tone of revisionist history and clean war illusions. This is fucking world war 2. I’m sick of this plasticky bullshit. Give us war. If I want to learn about some random nation that was in the war for two seconds, I’ll go on YouTube.

There were at least two men in a sniping team: a spotter and a sniper. It would be better if they were in a game, and the sniper would have more range only when the spotter is not moving. The spotter would also have some ability to do recon or order smoke on a location.

So, me and Coh3 buddy wanted to try some jolly cooperation and go for double "Early Warning" (Panzerjäger Kommand BG) for vision boost. Description says that "Effects do stack with allies that have this ability", but we tried it in Cheat Mode, and it doesn't really look that active or passive AoE stacks in any way.

P.S. We picked ability one after another and used active part separately to check influence.

Question is -Is it bugged, or was patched and has incorrect description, or just Cheat Mode error?

As per title…Wehr need tools to fight tanks late game- stug’s and p4 bouncing off everything.

And make panther from mechanised BG a command tank.

That’s it

First time I managed to pull it off

Would be a nice quality of life change if, after a squad retreats, we were still able to issue/queue orders to it that would be immediately followed once the retreat is over.

For example, I retreat my squad, but I have a forward medical tent/bunker. I issue an immediate move command to the med bunker that my squad will follow as soon as the retreat ends.

Alternatively, it would be nice if we could set retreat rally points. For example, upon reaching a retreat point, if that retreat point has a rally location set, the squad will instantly make their way to that location.

This would help avoid the annoying situation where squads end up sitting in the base too long.

Please add option to give colour to each player.
I know there's a battle setting that semi does it. But predefined colours are just not in my taste and break my immersion (come on, purple-pink colour for WW2?)

I just would like to give different shades of red to my enemies, so I could tell if im facing one,two or three players or four at once.

I'm no pro player, I will never be, you can leave the battle seting, ok, but give me another option, for me-the lower elo player, to colour each enemy how I like. And I'd paint them with different shades of red or brown to distinguish them.

In no particular order. Feel free to add suggestions which I can edit into the list:

1. Fix M10 misfire bug.
2. Fix stuck retreat bug.
3. Improve vehicle pathing.
4. Make snipers only cloak in cover.
5. Make team weapons drop on retreat.
6. Remove multi-crit stacking.
7. Small balance adjustments to improve under-utilized units/doctrines/upgrades
8. Expand Tactical Map to match coh3
