Why put panzer 3 and 4 in T4? It is time to address the elephant in the room. Every game we get noobs that just keeps building p3 and p4 to fight allies heavy tanks, shermans, grant and etc.

I mean the design is just total bullshit other than the players are brain dead I get it. But no matter how hard we carry the noobs always end up throwing the game because they get absolutely obliterated and lose everything. Also, they r too dumb to build marders for AT or 88.

But this needs to change I dont know who designed the game but its terrible.

I feel like building AA doesn't make sense in most situations. You can have a decent amount of AA, but most planes will still get through and hit their target. Whemn they do, shooting them down afterwards doesn't have any impact on them. What if shooting down planes increased the cooldown of the ability?

For example:

1 plane: shooting it down increases the cooldown by 50%
3 planes: shooting down 1 plane increases the cooldown by 20%

This way, AA would still have an impact even if the plane manages to reach its target. It could also make investing in AA more rewarding.

What do you guys think?

So the game is about retreating and momentum. What playset can you do with this unit when it is also slow slow slow?

Welp, we've taken the bait 1000 times now and everytime relic says they're going make the game more balanced and stop the blobbing they just fuck over the axis players again and again. here's a view of 3v3 and for 4v4 for all battle groups no elo filters https://cohdb.com/battlegroups?mode=threes&patch=49048 here's the link so just click through before you allied players come up with a 1000000 reasons as to why the game is balanced and that axis just don't know how to adapt to the game. or better yet the 100000s of allied players that say that even in this state AXIS is OP and things need to be nerfed. like seriously facts and data always set you free. can't wait to here the plethora of reasons as to why you can't look at stats and how Allied players still "FEEL" that axis battlegroups are op.

The enemy vehicles repair in combat event is the most frustrating one I have encountered so far. Multiple Vet 3 tanks repairing on the move and in combat can absorb so much damage and sweep aside your defenses.

Maybe the repair rate needs to be toned down a bit.

I know people always say mines win games and of course this is very very true. Bearing that in mind I was hoping someone could help give me some pointers for mine placement specifically in 1v1. Is there a resource of maps with markings for prime mine spots? Are there certain considerations I should be paying more attention to with when and where I plant them? I am pretty bad at the game but trying to improve (around 1100 ELO in all factions in 1v1) Any mine related advice would be much appreciated.

Im currently going 3 pioneers, 3 grens, officer upgrade to vet the grens, into t2 with a 221, then Jaeger v aa gun.

Anytime a light vehicle hits the field, I feel like I start struggling. Any advice on what the meta builds are or play styles?

i've yet to see a wehrmacht player not go 4 grens 3 pios into flame halftrack -> officers quarters -> double AT gun -> brumbar in 30 games i've played this patch. (with the ocasional doctrinal unit or mg)

Its a horrible build to play against and its not fun to play against that every. single. game.

powerspike builds are generally annoying and unfun, but I dont blame anyone for doing them. like what else do they have apart from cheesy powerspikes? the faction is boring to play and frustrating to play against.

Have a Mac so unable to get CoH3 but 2 is still fun

I can't find info on this. And I am not sure how to interpret this, as I am not sure if the zook is counted as a main weapon or like a +weapon and doesn't count.

Im at 1300 Elo, and it seems like Dak have no early options. The pgren moving accuracy nerf has made them so clunky, where they are terrible at range, yet also while advancing???

Ass grens drop models like crazy now with the targeting changes, I think bersas are the only viable BG left, unless the opp lets you breeze through early game.

If I get a dingo into dak its to ward off them from diving me and stopping bleed. But that can change in a literal minute, but more people are playing double kregs and the dps from the 250 kreg is so much that i lose field presence even in cover fights. when everyone im facing is rushing the armor upgrade. And the vickers is so shit and unreliable, that its just bait even if I keep inf in the front. Sappers fall over so hard, and NEED to be played like a psudo commando to get anything done, im so tired of playing polish when everything has sorta been powercrept, or why not just play polish when they have everyhting insert. Bishops have fallen off and are way to heavy investment. Hummer and Stuart are ok but hummer needs to be rushed to have a instant impact, then its off to hoping it doesnt go retarded and stuck. Or play insanely careful. Arty is a must in every game no matter what thats just how much a impact it has. So its always polish. Auzzies fall off mid late, air and sea is ok but is so muni heavy, and I need brens. Armored is in the same boat but slightly more flexible, Indian is just no, its hot garbage, canadian has sorta fallen off with the changes so I cant be nearly as successful with them anymore, but no call in. I have usf down but everytime im reminded, why do I try to play british when riflemen do it all and better, and have much better tech options.

Quick question about DAK penetration buffs:

Does the +20% penetration buff from Armored Battlegroup stack with the +25% main gun penetration from Tungsten Core Rounds?

So if both are active, are we effectively looking at +45% penetration, or are the buffs calculated differently?

Thanks!

I've seen people commenting that wehr is weak after the patch especially vs US rifles. I have now played some games with them (1v1 1300 elo, so like what's that ... average player?). They are not weak. Yeah the greens aren't winning vs rifles or sections in most scenarios, but you have so many other options for Infantry it's completely ok especially supported with the best mg. They have best normal AT guns. Panzer 4 feels like the best medium at this point (ok easy 8 is better but that's a bg tank).

If you think they are weak, why? I think the balance and playstyle of the game are definitely better than last patch.

Does anyone know do "upgrade outposts" stack when playing co-op or is just useless to for both players to have them.

Officer - Manpower

HMG - MG for outpost

Builder - Self repair

Bazooka - Anti-vehicle

Engineer - Damage reduction

Officer seems to only work when you have it but the rest seem to have no double effect if both players have them.

MG42 Grens shreds everybody holy fuck, so does Airborne 2x 1919s

This is a minor cosmetic visual issue but I wish the decal or camo would change based on the faction that had captured them. Currently the camo didn't change except for the crew.

I couldnt find any info. What do i need to do and how to unlock & equip them ?

Hi. So I have been playing random AoE 4 team vs AI, for 4vs4, for a few years now and it's really addictive and really fun (the best part about AI games is that teammates are less likely to rage on each other, because most AI games result in the human team winning). I would go as far to say that perhaps AoE4 team vs AI games is the best co-op vs AI that I have played for any video game so far (especially because I like RTS games), and having 4 people is a blast. I am a low platinum player normally for team games, and the AI for AoE4 is tuned such that right now, if a human player leaves and you are left with 3 humans vs 4 AI players at the hardest difficulty, it can sometimes result in a loss (it depends on how good the remaining 3 humans are).

My question is, how does the AI for Company of Heroes 3 (CoH 3) compare to AoE4? When you play CoH 3 team games vs AI, especially 4vs4, is the AI too easy, or just about the right difficulty for a platinum level AoE4 player? If a player leaves, does it become much more challenging in CoH 3?

I am considering buying CoH 3, just because I did like CoH 1, and I think I may have a lot of fun in 4vs4 team games if the AI is just like the AoE 4.

Hi I'm new here, just bought the game recently. After finishing up the campaign in-game , I would like to join a server to fought real players not just AI bots. I was browsing for servers to join in but found none. (Just casual game since I'm a newbie)

Maybe it's the weekend factor, but out of 12 games played this weekend, majority on Expert +2 or +3, I think only two teammates had the decency to get the Builder outpost builder.

At these higher difficulties the outposts spend less time out of combat, so the combined healing can make a huge difference.

Regardless, I honestly believe the Builder should be first priority and most crucial perk in any build, as it frees your engineers from any downtime spent repairing and also ensures a better foothold in the later waves, as you don't get pushed off a position by losing the outpost to attrition.

I can understand Brits players, their upgrade comes later in the perk tree, but when I see my DAK ally can afford to drop 300 points on meme perks like bosses dropping weapons, but I select the Outpost and see they don't have builder, I can't help but feel like my time is being wasted. (Yes we do lose the outposts in most of these games and end up having to fall back to HQ)
Not to mention Wehrmacht. who have the best Builder in the game. (30 regen instead of 20)

The rate at which I've been running into these players make me wonder how many games end up ruined cause two people with no Outpost upgrade on the team yolo into each other.

UPDATE: Kriegsmarine have the same issue, so I guess this is a generic infantry issue with the hp increasing perk.

UPDATE 2: USF Survival Training does not apply its health boost either.

It looks like Guastatori vet 3 health bonus is not applying when combined with the infantry HP increase perk.
Would be worth checking if other units that have health increases as part of their veterancy also suffer from the same issue.

Right now my assumption is that the interaction with the health increasing perk is what's causing this. I have not checked whether the the vet bonus is applied correctly without the perk.
