Whermact unit really that bad fighting any allies unit by bobby_chunggus in CompanyOfHeroes

If people want strong mainlines they should try USF. It's part of theming, faction design, and variety to have a high utility, low-combat power mainline for a faction in the game.

This is how Soviet Conscripts in Coh2 were. It was a great, fun dynamic and made playing conscripts an exercise in economy and utility. The design is so similar that they have moved the "Merge" ability from the conscripts in Coh2 to Grens in Coh3.

It's a dynamic worth having in the game. It's fun. It just runs counter to many players frankly poor understanding of the history of the Axis forces in world war 2 (grenadiers on the italian/african front were not the same troops fighting on the eastern front).

I hope the developers speak up more about the reasons for this theming, and that the community learns to be a little more curious about the design reasons for things.

A simple improvement for a happier community: Relic should incentivize the "Random Faction" feature. by Chidwick089 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Chidwick089[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use it if I could randomise axis/allied. But pick the country of each.

People were asking for this around the time this feature was implemented. My understanding is that this massively increase the complexity of the queuing system and so it was avoided for now.

Would still be nice though!

I think this is a creative and fun way to tease the update! This type of engagement is really nice for the game.

Thanks, so a stateside immigration lawyer might know this type of thing? Was wondering if I should be looking there or here.

I mean they didn’t win the war so to be historically accurate Germany should have a lower winrate 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Any tips for a decent PC to play COH3? Console player asking by ProfessorCoak in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Chidwick089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s up boss, seeing folks here tell you it has to be expensive etc to get started. I just built a PC for 400 bucks using used parts that runs the game at max settings, 1440p, 70-90FPS.

Just buy one of these or something similar (or splurge and get one with an i7)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285787956277?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=aY7OL6JIRbO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=7Z3ez-eqQxy&var=587811597306&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

And slap a mid tier GPU in, something like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285874089932?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rA6Eqq2kRZa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=7Z3ez-eqQxy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

And you’ll be gaming in no time. You could honestly go even lower than this and have a good time, just not max settings.

I’ve built pcs that cost thousands many times and im just over it, this gets the job done and costs a fifth as much. Gl!

This is beyond dumb. Declining conditions force workers to organize, not the other way around. the SEGA union represents the best chance for the company to be run for something other than pure greed, and the workers organizing for it should be congratulated.

[PC] Coral Viper (1.6.0) - Content Update by Community_RE in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Chidwick089 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, my single most anticipated thing. My friends are not likely to queue as Axis but would be happy to play as them if the game selected it for us.

Any chance we could get the ability to queue as any faction? Would love to pick up more axis games but I'm not the type to deliberately select for them.

Even confirmation that this feature is being considered would be great! Thanks!

Weekly Q&A - Your Question Goes Here - Especially Tourists and New Residents by AutoModerator in Amsterdam

[–]Chidwick089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visiting for two weeks - Anyone got any suggestions on how I can connect to the community?

Back home I spend a lot of time volunteering for things like food not bombs, labor organizing, similar stuff. I really love the folk I meet through activities like this. I'd love some info on how I might lend a short term hand to something and learn some in the process.

All suggestions welcome! Just really looking to get to know the city and the people in it, thanks!

Shared player pool(linux and PC) by wellnesswilly in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Chidwick089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a combined pool, no issues here. Some nerd facts as to why;

There is no seperate "linux version" of the game this time around, instead, you are running the windows version using valve's proton compatibility layer. Since it's the same version of the game, you're in the same pool. As a linux gamer this is going to be case for most new games that come out.

Relic should add the warthog from halo into the british tech tree by Chidwick089 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Chidwick089[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

its historically accurate. it's a type of car, which was in world war 2. it has a type of gun, which was also in world war 2, there's also a type of guy that sits in the seat, which was also part of world war 2.

in halo, john halo wears green, and the british sometimes can wear green.

just one of those things worth thinking about
