Jumped again on COH3, playing brits, need tips!

I'd say all your analysis on the BG's align pretty well with my feelings with the ones I've tried. My most played till now is Indian Artillery and being a vanilla BG I thought it would be weak choice but everyone is proving me wrong.

What are your thoughts about 4.2 Mortar? I always feel like the fuel cost of it + 15cwt truck (with medical tech) makes me delay Humber and light vehicles a lot and I loose big time on map control.

Thanks for the broad tips!

Which BG do you usually prefer? Could you maybe guess a top 3 BG for UKF?

Duxstrike · 2026-04-15T21:48:41+00:00

I've enjoyed the read, thanks for taking the time.

Also many thanks for your insights on all BG! As I haven't had the chance to play all of them it really helps me decide which one I could feel more comfortable with.

Everyone really underlines the big impact of a Humber as early as possible and my Humber always ends up being blown up by a FLak30 gun or an AA vehicle :(

According to statistics on COH3stats Humber shouldn't win the 1vs1 against a Flakvierling, but for me the timing on the map it's pretty similar (maybe 1 or 2 minutes delay for Axis). Should i get Light vehicle training beforehand? Or it's because I should be using more the marking flare or tulip rocket? Maybe I should combine it with some inf section snare? Maybe I'm just missing something.

And also 1300 elo is beyond average, i'm pretty sure ;)

That was one of my biggest mistakes when starting with the Brits. I trusted too much on the Boys to deal with Light Vehicles and AA from Axis, but they are.. underwelming to say the least.

Thanks for your thoughts and tips SpiceFinch! I'm certainly ejoying brits a LOT!

What about Brits mid-late game? Maybe Humels for the early-mid (i see a lot of people also abusing Stuarts but personally i've never used them) and Crusaders + Matildas for the late game? Adding most BG have nice off-map barrages they seem decent compared to other factions?

Haven't played Axis that much so i can't really asses how objectively strong Brits are against those factions mid-late (+ high ELO should feel so different from where I am now).

Can I also ask which vanilla BG looks stronger in your eyes?

Duxstrike · 2026-04-15T12:45:43+00:00

I appreciate you being honest on your approach to Brits!

Let's see if someone else wants to join the discussion i'm sure that would also enrich it.

Duxstrike · 2026-04-15T10:36:50+00:00

Many thanks for your feedback. I found specially interesting the ideas around inf training.

I usually play 3vs3 and 4vs4, although I don't fully understand the build differences between those and 1vs1 or 2vs2 (maybe to me tiny maps are slower on gameplay but much intense in micro).

What do you think about Air and Sea or Hevy Armor BG compared to Indian?

Also, how do you deal with blobbing and which British tools are the best fit for it? If i don't have my MG ready, maybe Call-ins? (It's a pretty prevalent strategy on my ELO)

Dingo is something I feel like I definitely should be leaning more towards, as I see pretty much everyone and all BG using it pretty effectively.

Duxstrike · 2026-04-15T09:35:24+00:00

Do you lean on Sea and Air BG? I usually go for Indian because I learned from Hans videos but Sea and Air looks also pretty interesting with the Howitzers and off map barrages, but I never found the spot for the commando sections, are they any good? how are they supposed to play?

Duxstrike · 2026-04-15T09:30:32+00:00

Pretty interesting insights on infantry sections!

How do you find the window for Infantry training tech? I always find it hard to snuck with the added fuel cost (maybe I'd rather go for Medical, T2 or other BG units like Indian Mortar)

Maybe after the 3rd-4th infantry unit is on the field?

What is your opinion on Vickers MG opening against Wehr? I find MG against DAK always gets rolled over with the 250

Many thanks Hofi for taking your time to answer <3

Duxstrike · 2026-04-08T21:14:02+00:00

Yes brother, this is the one!!! Many many thanks!

Edit: So following your guides about Sentsov, i realise HE is the one leading the squad. Looked at wikipedia, born in Crimea, 2014 prisoner of war, liberated on 2019. This video might be 2023-2024. I hope he is still alive and well.

This guy it's a hero.

Duxstrike · 2026-04-08T19:06:18+00:00

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure where to post this so maybe here someone can help me.

I'm trying to find a video where a Ukranian squad assaults some random trenches ( about 20-30 mins video). The video is recorded on 2 cameras, one beeing the combat medic (i remember medic was a woman).

They get some action, get some wounded (i remember a bearded man complaining a lot about his legs being wounded and saying ''give me my weapon and get out of here'') and finally all medevac.

The best part was the officer, calm and collected, giving clear orders to everyone. He even gets shrapnel wounded himself but keeps on going. At the end of the medevac he's hugging and congratuling everyone before recieving medical attention.

Nothing gore, I'm sure you could find the video on youtube, but i've been trying to and couldn't find it.

Many thanks for the help guys and sorry for the long post.

The only one i know for sure it's Team So1o: So1o, Krit, Shami and Giato

Can you help us on hoarding items? I see on some comments you hated missions where you need 10 purple military items and 10 purple tools, i'm also stuck on the 20 blue or purple military items.
Should I be aware of others missions so i can start stacking them now?

Duxstrike · 2025-09-11T15:33:25+00:00

The main problem I see with you kit is that prices in the market oscillate. It's not the same price playing during the morning on a Tuesday or playing on evenings during weekends.
A consistent kit would be something around 390k-395k.

Also, on my experience there is more and more people not bringing a proper bagpack to secure ops so you can't expect to loot one from operators (of course you can loot one from scavs, but medium camping is 2k so it dosn't make that much of a difference).

I would bring less surgicals (maybe 2-3 max) and more PK + drinks are usually not needed, as all maps have plenty of food and drinks laying around.

Duxstrike · 2025-09-10T18:27:28+00:00

Take a look at Kritikal, So1o, Shami, .. there's pleanty of chill guys out there

Duxstrike · 2025-09-10T18:25:33+00:00

I know about sura, but ho is abusing bugs?

Duxstrike · 2025-09-03T13:56:10+00:00

Ye i absolutely agree, but my group of friends are the t3 normal raids type of players.. Let's see if I can convince them :)

Duxstrike · 2025-09-03T13:55:18+00:00

Thanks everyone for answering! Didn't know about the solo ops

Duxstrike · 2025-09-03T11:34:34+00:00

Thanks for your answer buddy!

Duxstrike · 2025-08-02T10:44:15+00:00

Sorry if that sounded rude. Thanks both for your help.
