CoH3 Whats with the Chinese players?

Upvotes

I'm in Florida. I routinely get matched against Chinese players even on weekend evenings. Is the game really this dead?

Also, not that I have a problem with Chinese people, but they are the worst to play COH 3 with. 0 communication, and they employ low-quality zerg tactics. Everytime I have one on my flank, they collapse instantly and resign to holding an insignificant corner of the map.

CoH3 Would love if Relic gave more simple cosmetics for playing a faction.

First image is my kitbash of the Grenadiers with the Jeager’s M43 field cap and boots with gaiters from the Fallen Leaf Jeager skin then I put it though AI to change the suspenders, ammo pouches and make the uniform grey and look more like wool. I know a lot of people hate on AI but it’s a small but tedious change which I’ve seen other real artists do.

To my main topic - I’d just like something similar to Dawn of War Retribution where the more you play a faction, your units would look different. But instead they are separate skins and not permanent on the default skin. I think it would be very easy since you’d basically do what I did by taking already existing models and swap them around. Relic did post a video while back before the game came out showing and saying that’s basically how gear on models worked. I don’t know how hard it would be to texture though.

CoH3 What is Current Meta build for UKF ?

4 Upvotes

Hello question as in topic. What's the current meta for UKF,

and what are the suggested build orders ? I usually start with :

immediate Vickers

Infantry Sections (sniper scope) / mortar

Infantry sections (bren) / mortar

Tier 2 building

Immediate Polsten

AT gun / Stuart

T3 and Matilda. Later whatever I need.

I usually go with Polish BG, but rarely build any of their units lol ;d

Im elo 800

CoH3 USF mechanised repair point is too effective

10 Upvotes

It needs to go up in cost to place, or unlock cost by a touch.

OR

Needs to change in how it works. Preferably to include some micro like it being a timed ability with a cooldown, akin to Dead Drops from Special Forces Battlegroup for UKF.

It's such an easy crutch for teammates to rely on and use the bigger the team game mode.

CoH3 How to start learning the game?

5 Upvotes

I want to learn and be at least average in CoH3 but I don't know where to start. I have previously played CoH2 but just the campaign and skirmish against bots as Soviets. I am confused by all the units and the different battlegroups, I dont know what to pick or when and I end up losing even against standard AI.

Does anyone have any good starting build orders or guide for how to pick battlegroups/upgrades? Also any recomendation for videos that help with getting started (not just controls, basic mechanics etc) is welcomed.

CoH3 Is CoH 3 greatly improved since launch?

Compared to launch, just how much as CoH been improved? I played for the first few months and I remember it being pretty rough. Is it in a much better state now and worth coming back to?

CoH3 What's the exact purpose of the Stug 3

14 Upvotes

For most mid game vehicles, PaK 40 with the occasional gren snare will suffice in detering vehicles, if not outright killing them. Should something more survivable (i.e. doesnt instantly die to small arms fire or motars) is needed, the Marder is decent enough in dealing with most tanks. For everything else, you have battlegroup Panthers, Tigers, Kingtigers, Sturmtigers, Elefants and whatever else.

Now... what exactly does the Stug do here? It doesn't have the sheer penetration or range of the Marder, while also being significantly more expensive and being pretty much useless against infantry, even with the MG upgrade.

Sure, the frontal armor is nice. But why rely on armor with the StuG 3 if you don't even need to take damage in the first place due to the marders range?

Maybe someone with more knowledge and matchup understanding can say a few things.

In my opinion it should be a slow firing and hard hitting ambush tank. Basically trading higher cost and lower range for higher frontal armor and damage when compared to the marder. This might also solve the wehrmachts lack of a tank that can deal with enemy heavies reliably. Think someone made a post that went into that direction a couple days ago.

CoH3 More Company of Heroes 3 with DLSS5*

0 Upvotes

Saw the previous post about DLSS5 and figured to investigate myself. There were multiple requests to see the screenshots in higher resolution, how it was done, etc. to no response. In Thanos fashion: "Fine, I'll do it myself"

Here are some screenshots in higher resolution. I'll probably have more time later to test it more, and make a video on it. You can probably figure out which is with it vs ON/OFF

I've tried the benchmark and its at least a 60% reduction in fps. Not quite playable. Running a 5060ti *8gb*, I'd imagine a greater card would be more playable.

*Disclaimer: Essentially, CoH3 does not know how to use DLSS 5 by itself, so I used ReShade and a bridge mod to “pretend” the game has a DLSS-like image path. Then RenoDX hooks into that fake path and applies DLSS 5 Neural Rendering on top. So yes, it is running in-game, but it is more like carefully tricking DLSS 5 into processing the image than the game having real built-in DLSS 5 support.

CoH3 Can someone tell me what went wrong?

So let me preface this, I'm aware I made mistakes.

This video encompasses just under half of this 1v1 at x8 speed for brevity. If you want the full replay just tell me how I'm kind of new at this still.

You can see me recover my 2cm Flak and then destroy it because I was trying to get pop for an extra P4, so I'm aware of some of my micro mistakes I watched this back to see those. What I couldn't understand is just how the resource difference between me and this guy was so huge?

I feel like I was doing really good in my micro a lot of the time, for a pretty extensive amount of time I feel like, I controlled the Field and managed to build up a significant amount of resources.

Though I'm fully aware I also lost control of my cut off a few times and it really hurt me, but what I still cannot grasp is just how this guy managed to have 2k spare man power while I was hovering at 600 at my very best while trying to match him in tanks?

I was doing my Siege Breaker build so I'm aware late game when he started spamming out 76's I was probably fucked, but I just for the life of my can't figure out how he managed to so severely just dominate me after what felt like a slog I was winning for so long.

CoH3 Commando Sections Are Overtuned Af

0 Upvotes

Man this infantry is annoying. I run into all the time at high elo play. They cost 400mp but they destroy everything. They can take on any infantry and win. Even 2 assgrens vs them they still win. They have insane DPS. They have camo, they have healing, they have 6 man and tons of health, can make demo, they have freaking at nade! They butchered gustas for having this kind of utility but allies get it and it’s okay? This unit needs to have some kind of drawback either being a 4 man, lower the dps, lose the at or some kind of utility. It is utterly broken. There is very little counters you can get pios and flares but most likely they will already have died to this unit. It is not fun to play against. Neither is the insane rifle same right now.


r/CompanyOfHeroes 1d ago

CoH3 What are your guys' thoughts on Wehrmacht heavies?

13 Upvotes

I feel like having one of them in your battle group is absolutely needed if the game goes past 25 minutes as the Panzer IV is unreliable with its penetration and the PaK 40 is excellent when the enemy plays into its strength, but the moment there is 1-2 mortars, off maps or a flank they’re worthless.

So how'd you rank:

Tiger
Königstiger
Sturmtiger
Panther

Consider also the time at which they arrive. Of course a Königstiger is stronger than a single panther in a head on confrontation, but the Panther is significantly cheaper and more agile, so consider which tank best augments an army composition that is looking to deal with enemy 76 Shermans, Matildas, Pershings, Churchills and Chars.

Primarily in 1vs1

Maps & Mods i saw a mod years ago on youtube but cant find it now

4 Upvotes

years ago i saw a mod for company of heroes on youtube it was called ''averge company of heroes experince'' or ''company of heroes expirence'' the video doesnt exist now unfortunately but i remember that it was company of heroes 2 and there was also a map just like close combat series but more modern and if u capture a tank or any other equemint it will be with your soldiers even after the battle is over and u went too another way and u could move armies and conquer provinces

CoH3 Skill issues playing as DAK - Losing to riflemen blobs or other cheese strats

14 Upvotes

I am able to get all my other factions up to 1300 but with DAK I struggle hard. It's clearly a skill issue , but I am not quite sure what I am missing.

I've tried using the aa halftrack, but find that it's super vulnerable to the AT gun + m8/chaffee combo. At gun + polsten also does surprising well against it too. The 8rad fares better especially in chasing low health units and poking at range.

Although I find that I can tech up to the Pz3 pretty easily, it's gets crushed by the Sherman and struggles to deal with the Matilda. The Tiger is a huge deciding factor, but most of the time I struggle to get up to it.

Against US:

  • I try to keep the pgrens alive in cover against riflemen, but their dps at close range just crushes me. They often have way more riflemen, then I have pgrens and can sneak in from the flanks with their charge ability. Trying to out Pgren them doesn't really work as their units just bleed my manpower at more efficient rate.
  • Spec ops commander just crushes me.
    • The little weasel is a bane to all my early light vehicles, the tempo it provides with cap pressure + heals is crazy.
    • The instant smoke on demand/flare means that using the Mg for positioning is always rough.
    • The P47 overwatch is super annoying without the aa halftrack, but using the aa halftrack gets its rushed by the chaffee/m8 half the time.
    • The Calliope just creeps up, rocket annihilates any team weapon setup line I try. And I need the AT guns to hold off the Sherman.
    • Last but not least the sneaky SSF with their zooks, make me paranoid about my light vehicle positioning.
  • Airborne cheese
    • Unless I play a specific T3 build of 2x Stugs, I get curb stomped into the ground by their long range dps.
    • The manpower does not really trade well especially when they go with the infantry company.
    • Tried both the aa halftrack and 8rad against it and find that the 8rad into stugs works better.

Against Brits:

  • I've had more success being aggressive with light vehicles out the gate and attacking consistently. I find the brits to be a more well-rounded faction that usually uses less gimmick builds (compared to the US).
  • However, the big issue appears to the later game bren blobs that can beat back my attacks. Luckily, I can use the Leig and nade launcher pios + 250 combo to dislodge them.
  • Unless I go gustatori, the late game foot guards are a persistent problem. The brens + guards combo and be tricky.
  • Stuarts are menace that require AT guns to beat back. I've gotten lucky with panzerjagers a couple of times, but a good player always manages to keep it alive.
  • Matildas are a tough nut to crack. 2x AT guns, 88, or pz4 is needed to really kill them. The pz3 doesn't really crack them.

The last couple of 1v1 game losses have been especially tilting. I've dealt with Stuart spam, pathfinder spam, SSF almost every other game.

Posted replays:

stuart spam game https://coh3stats.com/matches/84339507?profileIDs=%5B379595,3117%5D

Airborne game https://coh3stats.com/matches/84436508?profileIDs=%5B379595,163660%5D (this one really ticked me off, I lost by VPs after trying to survive all game. I finally got my chance after he foolishly dived me and lost both shermans. But a smarter player would have easily won by keeping the shermans in reserve.)

This game I was clearly outclassed. Guy was gold and sat on my cutoff and I could not for the life of me dislodge him. There was tons of green cover, and I am not quite sure how to kick them off. https://coh3stats.com/matches/84435502?profileIDs=%5B379595,1113683%5D

Possible issues I am missing:

  • I am not very good at using the tow feature and prefer to use the regular paks instead of the 88.
  • I am not very clear about when I should be using specific abilities (especially stat boost abilities, airstrikes/arty is usually fine) such as sound the alarm, I usually pour all my munis into mines, and weapon upgrades.
  • My vehicle micro could use more work and I often reverse it too much or back to base right away for repairs instead of sticking around to fight.
  • Between the flamer, nade launcher, lmg not quite sure what weapon upgrade to pick right away (except when I want to do the flamer clown car strat).

Any advice would be appreciated.

CoH3 Kradschützen and 250 have the worst pathfindings

Why do they make donuts still? Getting confused with obstacles.

How does relic expect players to utilise DAK early momentum asymmetry when we have to fight against shitty ai?

Why is 4x4 having much lower XP to vet and with much better utility?
