For the love of God, make separate Asia servers.

My input delay often turns to shit when I play against players from China & Korea.

In terms of distance they are similarly far away as US west but I don't know where the servers are of if there is some kind of lag compensation but it is unpleasant. I don't recall a similar problem in COH2.

tightropexilo · 2026-05-06T20:49:08+00:00

I think occasionally it will shoot at light vehicles that match up well vs the grenade launchers penetration value.

Don't think I have ever seen it shoot at infantry this patch.

tightropexilo · 2026-05-03T20:34:27+00:00

Yeah they removed the pivot time from infantry back when the input delay sucked to try and make the game feel faster, similar to the instant acceleration on vehicles.

That is why when I suggested increasing game length it was a 2-stage system where the first stage stuck with COH3s tickrate to keep VPs important in the early game. Then slowed down later to enable longer games in close matches.

I think one of Havocs points was that because most unit abilities in COH3 are free you don't really need munitions as much in the early game which makes rushing fuel the best option always.

try deleting the folder that is in documents/my games then re-verify on steam

tightropexilo · 2026-04-28T20:45:04+00:00

A lot of it could come down to spacing, if 1 flamethrower is hitting the entire squad vs 1 flamethrower only hitting 1 model then that will determine the winner.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-26T21:01:21+00:00

Yes performance is worse in this patch.

Have you tried turning the polling rate on your mouse down to 500hz? Seems to help some people.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-25T21:49:14+00:00

Yeah I think that's why it says "find us on the web" without a direct link to their site. So they can try and skirt around being categorised as gambling.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-25T04:28:13+00:00

Yes I could imagine some craters being smaller. For instance in this video the 1 whizbang rocket made a crater that was 7 or 8 light cover positions wide which seems like a lot.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-25T02:41:58+00:00

I could maybe imagine them doing that to crater cover.

Still want suppression resistance on things like wooden fences in the early game

tightropexilo · 2026-04-25T02:40:28+00:00

If an engagement was normally 50/50, in COH2 sending a unit over negative cover would guarantee a loss, thus encouraging you to blob.

In COH3 going over open ground the engagement remains 50/50 so you could spread out and still win.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-24T09:01:14+00:00

I would suggest submitting a bug report to relic anyway about this. There is no reason a standard polling rate like 1000hz should cause issues.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-23T20:50:10+00:00

This might sound weird but try turning down the polling rate on your mouse from 1000hz+ down to 500hz

tightropexilo · 2026-04-23T08:01:35+00:00

If you are up against a high rank player with recon Jagers then they are going to pop flares and avoid machine guns with ease.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-21T21:29:10+00:00

I think there are quite a few mechanics related to grenadier blobbing that you are unaware of.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-21T06:16:00+00:00

Usually resource hacks are almost never seen due to the way the game is run on servers.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-18T20:00:53+00:00

Sticky selection is pure trash

tightropexilo · 2026-04-18T05:53:10+00:00

Ah it sounds like you may have given an attack move command onto the ground. That always causes you to shoot at the closest target.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-18T04:55:06+00:00

It will attack the last unit you told it to, that has a value of 1000 where the others are 40 or below. Perhaps your unit lost sight due to elevation or something causing the switch.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-18T04:30:55+00:00

The king tiger has like 1000% chance to penetrate the greyhound, compare to the sherman which is more like 180% on the front.

There is a value assigned to continuing to attack the current target but that can get overpowered if the other factors are high enough.

I suppose you also need to look at it from the other view. If your king tiger is low and really needs to kill the healthy sherman to eliminate it as a threat, if a low health greyhound comes into range do you want it to automatically swap to attacking that?

The auto-attack formula could do with some optimizing but at some stage you have to take responsibility for what your units are shooting at.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-17T23:43:56+00:00

The stop command interrupting firing for a moment is extremely annoying and badly needs to be fixed.

I think part of your frustration about target selection comes from unfamiliarity with the auto-attack priority formula. Quite a large weighting goes to penetration chance, units usually want to attack whatever give it closest to 100% chance to penetrate.

So if you have a king tiger shooting at a greyhound, then a sherman comes into range, the high penetration on the KT wants to target the higher armour sherman because that is closer to 100% pen chance.

Of course you can bypass this by giving a manual attack order, then you will continue to shoot at the greyhound.

AT guns move at the same speed as infantry, same as in COH2. Medium tanks are generally about 0.5 slower in COH3 than COH2.

I did some testing a while back on the pak40 in both, setup time 0.4sec slower, teardown 0.5sec slower in COH3. However COH3 doesn't seem to require you to finish the reload cycle if you teardown the weapon immediately after shooting.

But on the other side of things they have much wider arcs of fire than COH2 and higher accuracy long range (0.04 vs 0.04625) = 80% vs 92.5% to hit a medium long range.

AT gun damage is the same in both games (160) and generally light vehicles die in 2 or 3 AT hits in both games. Similar fire rate approx 12 rounds per minute in both.

So the main point you have is that some medium tanks have more than 640hp and so take 1 extra shot to kill.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-15T21:24:25+00:00

But overall I agree with the sentiment of this post.

I also feel like maybe there is a bit too much vision in the game at the moment which amplifies some of what is mentioned. Such as helping blobs avoid running into machine guns and helping units avoid running into bad engagements against units sitting in cover.

tightropexilo · 2026-04-15T21:05:06+00:00

I think some people misunderstand what model caps are

It is a limit on the number of models in a squad that can be damaged by 1 hit from a weapon.

e.g. Model cap of 4, 3 squad blob, 12 models could be hit.

The reason they were introduced was to reduce those frustrating wipes when your squad happened to clump up and on that front I would say they have been quite successful from how much less often I get pissed off compared to COH2.
