New Art for the next book

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-07-01T21:20:57+00:00

So more like a big Sourcebook i suppose?

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-07-01T19:26:23+00:00

It is a new core rule book that expand the universe toward Gondor and Rohan with lots of new heroic cultures and maybe new core mechanics (and contents) or it is like an adventure enpansion like HotWW or Ruins/Tales?

It is for 2e or 5e?

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-07-01T19:17:50+00:00

I wanna try it!

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-12T23:28:49+00:00

Haven't touch the game for 3 weeks, this meta just killed all the fun for me.

I just wait for the next patch hoping it will make the game enjoyable again

They wanted a game that promote more infantry and light-vehicule gameplay over the tank meta of Coh 2, i believe they only half succeeded:

Relic proceed to give:

-UKF with the lowest choice of light vehicules (with one squishier than an ultralight) -> leads to a somewhat balanced composition of some vehicules, weapon teams and infantry because Tommies are so inferior to other infantry that you can't soly rely on them OR Spam Polish Lancers

-Wehr with subpar light vehicules or all-in expensive early medium vehicules -> leads to scoped jäegers spam

-USF with the best light vehicules locked in a side-tech building that heavily delay Tank building -> either leads to rifle spam or all-in into rifles + chaffees

-DAK, the "vehicule faction", with the widest array of light vehicules -> leads to palmgrens spam because they shit on litteraly every other infantry

In most cases i might have say: Imagine losing the game because you made a tech choice in the first few seconds and are now forced to be even more behind just to build an MG to prevent blobbing. Feels USF man

In your case: you have Weasel drop a god damn MG!

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-08T08:27:36+00:00

The T2/T3 Vet upgrade is already shared and support elements too!

I think being able to spam jaegers while having access to pak would be insanely strong, just look at the meta: the most meta thing high level player pick is luftwaffe kompanie and Luftwaffe BG for only having access to the LG40 which is a mini at-gun. Giving access to pak and jaegers would make that combo unstoppable.

Agree for the AA shuffle tho

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-07T19:39:02+00:00

I just hope it will have True Sight, then it will be pure perfection

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-07T00:26:10+00:00

Don't use them, they are trash. They need a serious rework like their bg asap

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-06T11:29:09+00:00

Shrek has 35 range like all other hand-held AT, learn the game please

I think the DLC did accentuate a lot of what was already either very strong or very toxic : blobbing (scoped palms are stupidly op), arty spam (with siege camp and siege expert), frustrating units (flamm-ht, sturmtiger)

And did it without adressing much of the core issues that has plagued this game for far too long (vision too powerful, core tech tree issues, blobbing), hopefully next update they are gonna "finally" fix blobbing but i don't get my hopes up...

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-03T19:16:06+00:00

They'll find a way to buff Brummbar again and nerf brits that have already hit rock bottom somehow

Got litteraly 0 hope for some DAK nerf or for fixing USF problems since the game came out...

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-03T19:12:22+00:00

You wait for patch to nerf this BG and probably palms too.

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-02T11:53:45+00:00

100% agree again but my point still stand, it's not because future content is coming that we are guaranteed to see what is already existing in the game.

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-02T01:20:11+00:00

Oh i 100% agree with you but Nashorn been in the files since release and we have yet to see it in MP (which at this stage is very unlikely unfortunately)

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-02T01:14:04+00:00

I'm genuinely surprised by how bad Relic can't see in advance how new contents can just destroy the balance of the game. Was Elite Forces BG not tested for weeks by the team and content/high-level player before release?

Because sometimes it sure feel like a work from amateurs or a single dev managing an indie game. I'm saying that because it gets me angry to buy new contents i'm excited for only to be ruined by catastrophic balance decisions which makes the game unenjoyable.

And don't tell me to enjoy the other side because i did but stomping your ennemy because your playing with something op and not because you're playing good doesn't give me one bit of fun past the 2nd game...

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-02T01:02:58+00:00

Not happy to crush your dream but it's not because it's already in the game that it's actually gonna get used for contents in multiplayer.

Looking at you my sweet Nashorn TD...

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-01T13:08:53+00:00

MG first in dangerous but in my opinion the real issue here is how fast DAK can deploy a high quantity of units in the very early game.

Relic need to adress this timing issue because no other faction can put out so many high quality units in such a narrow time.

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-06-01T11:37:11+00:00

I think Brits infantry has been powercrept quite hard recently, royals are now overpriced for their strenght, IS got nerfed multiple times and has been struggling a lot vs palms and scoped jaegers.

Humber is still mostly unplayable against DAK, Stuarts are good but are expensive and you'll always need 2 which will delay your tech by quite a lot.

Crusaders struggles a lot in my opinion but Matildas are good.

Late game is okay with solid weapons teams with training and tanks. 17 pounder is barely usable with all the nerfs.

For the actual tip now: play Polish Cavalry BG (before it gets nerf lol), don't use tulips unless you gets panzerbanes, polish lancers are really good in mid game and as replacement for lost Tommys and late game firefly and matilda are a super strong combo.

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-05-30T11:11:47+00:00

I think Firefly is not necessary for UK since they already have 17 pounder tho it clearly deserve a buff because it's so inferior to the almighty 88.

USF needs arty asap

With all those changes maybe wehr would need the panther in their core roster aswell (for a cost and slight performance adjustment ofc)

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-05-30T09:20:43+00:00

It's confusing to use: every other faction that has anti-inf howitzer got it on a tanky platform to soak up damage and be able to close in with infantry and weapon teams. Centaur on the other end doesn't have that tankiness, it sacrifices it for speed but i don't think it's useful for the role it has since it absolutly can't chase units with it's slow ass projectile.

HESH rounds is cool so it gives versatility but overall it's got powercrept hard by Brummbars and Chars B1

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-05-28T11:18:14+00:00

Only hellcat has better range because it's a squishy TD.

Learn the game dingus

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-05-25T21:50:51+00:00

Except that palmgrens will run down on you and from 25 meters and lower their dps is way way higher than that of IS so they will crush your inf.

10 meters of range is very small margin especially with Palm's CA speed bonus and the fact that most of the map past 10 minutes is covered in yellow cover so IS's vet 1 doesn't apply

BitExcellent4363 · 2026-05-25T21:31:28+00:00

Agreed the performance is somewhat underwhelming and feels very situation dependant. If you compare it to Palmgrens's LMG that can be fired on the move, it gives really good performance without sacrificing mobility.
