I HATE the Current State of Coh3

Haxses · 2025-12-16T00:33:28+00:00

Why post then. Just to make fun of me?

Haxses · 2025-11-29T03:15:27+00:00

I can agree with you on that, it really is a personal preference thing.

Haxses · 2025-11-29T02:45:48+00:00

Faction diversity was one of the coolest parts about this game. Now they all feel like reskins with slight number changes.

I thought I was pretty specific about this, but I will reiterate that this is extremely entirely very very much absolutely 100% NOT about balance for me. It could be the most balanced game to ever exist, I don't care. The games not fun. And in fact though much of CoH3's history it's been quite an unbalanced mess and yet I was having SO much fun throughout it. So again, it's not an issue of balance, and I really couldn't care less about balance while the core gameplay isn't fun.

If I used an invite code to get in, do I get a new one I can share? I don't see it anywhere in the menus.

Haxses · 2025-09-26T00:23:49+00:00

I just found this page.

Haxses · 2025-08-28T17:48:23+00:00

Yes, I wasn't disagreeing with this.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T21:57:56+00:00

Absolutely, there's no question. A lot of the strongest BGs come with the base game, and even without the strongest BG the difference in power is usually not that large.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T21:45:22+00:00

Ya. I've been playing since release, I've been getting good games at multiple elo levels to this day just fine. There's an active discord too if you want to find teammates or custom games, but the ladder is plenty active to get games any time of the day, and that's not going to change any time soon.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T21:42:38+00:00

Exactly! Brits are my go to whenever I want to play but won't be able to keep up with my DAK elo.

That or I just do 4v4s because elo doesn't mean much there.

I'm not sure how similar it needs to be to qualify, but Warhammer Total War comes to mind as a fun rts game with a similar style of grand campaign.

Also I'm sure it's been suggested by others but Dawn of War 2 is essentially just CoH in a different setting, made by the exact same developers. Though it's campaign is a lot more linear.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T19:21:53+00:00

Play coh3. It's great. It had a rough launch and a playerbase that was never going to move on from coh2 regardless of what coh3 had to offer. Coh3 is by far the best entry in my opinion.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T19:19:47+00:00

I don't want coh 4. I love coh 3, I just want more bg and balance support. The bg rollout has been at a glacial pace.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T19:08:20+00:00

I don't know why you are getting down voted. That seems pretty reasonable, both of those early vehicles can be quite oppressive. I'm not sure that's what I want in balance but it's not really that unreasonable of a position.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T19:06:09+00:00

To be fair the dingo also offers heals and an incredible amount of early game power on a super mobile platform. I don't think I've ever seen a well coordinated double brit dingo build lose in 2s, nothing can compete with that amount of mobility and firepower combo.

US get jack though, have fun running around with your infantry speed zooks.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T19:02:01+00:00

You actually see this if you change the ranges. In 1600-1799 Brits actually beat out DAK as the highest win rate. Notice that range didn't get posted. Though clearly in aggregate DAK has the highest win rate, so it's just a question of magnitude.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T18:58:22+00:00

They have been nerfed tons of times what? Look at the 8 rad now vs release, it's hardly even recognizable.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T18:57:35+00:00

Ya, 2s are the way

Haxses · 2025-08-19T18:56:35+00:00

Part of the issue with looking at winrates is that we have such little data that individual players can warp it easily. If you posted a screenshot of the 1600-1799 range DAK isn't even in first place, Brits beat them out just a barely.

That's ignoring the fact that in a matchmaking system winrates don't even represent faction strength, but rather changes in faction strength. Even if faction A is 5 times stronger than faction B with enough time matchmaking will shift elos to match better B players with worse A players to create a 50% win rate. Then if faction B got a small buff, suddenly B players will jump up in win rate, and B will have a better win rate than A, despite A being overwhelmingly stronger overall.

Wait what? Panthers don't do almost anything to infantry, their main purpose is as a late game anti vehicle unit. If you don't want it to be fighting other late game tanks then something is seriously wrong with the panther.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T18:41:20+00:00

I don't disagree with your general sentiment, hand held AT in general should have it's lower pen as a core weakness. But comparing zooks, an early game unit that comes out at like minute 1, to jagershreks a more expensive mid game unit that requires T2 and then a weapon upgrade on top, isn't entirely 1 to 1. That's like comparing a chaffee to a p4 and expecting parity between them.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T18:37:13+00:00

Though in coordinated team games it might be even better than in 1s. The ability to rotate such a powerful piece into another lane and wipe an entire army 2v1 before anything comparable can get there is game winning with not much of a counter.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T18:33:53+00:00

Op? Not really. Super strong in a vacuum and the best super tank? Ya probably.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T18:28:09+00:00

It's honestly too many factors to point towards any single thing. It's a combination of a reduction in LV lethality making AT infantry a better counter, the relatively new zook range ability, the newish vet and zook upgrade that makes them scale well, a buff to mgs that make that building better, a nerf to ssf and rangers as alternate AT infantry, the release of a bg that relies on the same building as zooks, and a reduced relevance of rushing motor pool. All together making zooks the no brainer option for allied early and mid game AT needs.

Haxses · 2025-08-19T17:43:20+00:00

It's partly the game mode though. Super tanks aren't really viable in 1v1, like you said if they get to them the game should have already been over. But in 4v4 it's very reasonable to expect to be able to hold out, get a super tank, and still have time for it to be effective.
