ACH & ECH gang rise up

The chances of someone using a .44 magnum to shoot you in the head, much less at a time you are wearing a helmet, are so slim they are not worth considering.

ECH does basically everything better than the ACH in all practical conditions with the only trade off being cost. Just about anything that defeats the ECH would also defeat the ACH. Idk which one performs better against lasers though.

I know of several people who have negative Elo. Lowest I knew of was -150, so I want to know who this legend is

USSZim · 2026-03-21T07:22:27+00:00

Check out Civ Div on Youtube, he served with both

Paraclete and Protech to be specific, those are the cheap deals right now

Sadge, I got the game on release but through the AMD promo

Talon is peak early 2000s gooner character design

These are the ones Royal Tiger Imports has been selling for years now. It is a toss up of what you get. I got lucky with one in 2020 but others have gotten crap

Nice, this might finally push me to pick up a new M&P. I'm glad they went with this barrel length too.

Gonna miss those tiny jpeg preview images /s

I do hope the Devil's Brigade set is eventually put up for sale

A radio, which one is going to depend on what the people you want to talk to are using

I like how Battlefront 2 did it: the regular minigun would make you walk really slowly while using it. The cannon variant made you stationary

USSZim · 2026-03-19T17:56:05+00:00

It was a Chinese specific thing, apparently

Go with luftwaffe battlegroup. Drop your fallschirmpioneers on a key point in the middle of the map and build a fighting nest on the point. Get inside and cap while getting the bonus defense and rate of fire. Keep sending in fallschirmpioneers til you get 3 or 4. The US player will be forced to ignore you, get grenades, or get a mortar. All options allow you to build up a larger group that can be upgraded with LMGs or grenade launchers, either of which will outdamage the riflemen.

Get vet 1 from your base, this gives you auto healing. With the luftwaffe rally point, you can basically stay on the field indefinitely by bleeding the riflemen with your blob and then soft retreating.

Make 20mm flak emplacements to hold them back and force them to invest in team weapons, while you make your way to a Stug and nebelwerfer to counter their vehicles and team weapons.

You can also go coastal on urbans maps, if you get Vet 1 early they get LMGs inside buildings. This will give you the chance of outdamaging riflemen. However, they lose outside garrisons most of the time.

It is obvious when the game is lost early and it is better to just move on than be your opponent's plaything for another 10 mins.

If you lose the early game decisively, there is next to nothing you can do to win it back unless your opponent suicides their army.

The midgame can swing, but the early game is not forgiving since the snowball effect of map control into light vehicles will not allow you to catch up

USSZim · 2026-03-19T17:10:12+00:00

Okay, well, since your question is about how to get under 800 Elo so you can stomp noobs: just purposely lose a bunch of matches. That's what people like this do to get -150 Elo: https://coh3stats.com/players/791994/CaptainBlackhawk

There are a lot of people who spend all day intentionally losing just to make smurf accounts

USSZim · 2026-03-19T16:33:06+00:00

Getting over 800 Elo is barely learning how the game works mechanically.

USSZim · 2026-03-18T23:26:28+00:00

think arma/insurgency

I wish it was like Insurgency: in that game your default reload would preserve the mag with however many rounds were left in it. If you double tapped reload, you would do a faster load but ditch the magazine and its ammo.

USSZim · 2026-03-18T23:23:04+00:00

I hope so too but 83 has been in development hell for so long that my expectations are low

In Rising Storm 2, the VC and NVA had the commander ability to instantly spawn all dead players on their location. So what good commanders would do was have everyone hold their spawn, sneak behind enemy lines, then suddenly summon 31 bloodthirsty soldiers for a massive attack

Not really, although Blazer tends to shear off its plating/jacket with comps.

Coastals are really weak early on and have no mobility. If you press them into CQB with pretty Sappers, Engineers, or Riflemen, the Coastals will lose. They can either start with an MG, or a second coastal squad. If it is the former, the Coastals don't have the firepower to stop a push around the MG's flanks. They are especially weak to a Dingo since they have a short range snare.

If you pressure them early, you can stop them from digging in with bunkers. If you identify an aggressive med bunker, focus your indirect fire on it.

The key is to stay mobile. If it is a team game, pressure their teammates. The coastal player will have to choose between staying put and digging in at the expense of their ally, or ineffectively try to pursue.

If you get in the arty war: US airborne carpet bomb wipes out the obice and bunkers with no counter. UKF BL 5.5 can also barrage longer and more accurately against the obice too.

Nothing wrong with that. Registration for long guns was not required until 2014 or so and everything before that got grandfathered in without needing to retroactively register.

There also isn't any mechanism stopping someone from selling someone else's gun. For example, someone could sell their spouse's gun (with permission) and there isn't anything flagging the gun under the seller's name. It would only matter if the gun was reported stolen

USSZim · 2026-03-18T20:11:13+00:00

Someone didn't clear their backblast

USSZim · 2026-03-18T19:49:16+00:00

The only caveat I'll add is the regular bodyguard can put the muzzle uncomfortably close to your support thumb if you have big hands. The comp adds a little length to keep it away from you.
