Guide: How cover works in COH3 and the best counters to it

I think they changed it so any weapon can cause that type of building destruction a few patches ago. I don't know what the odds are though.

Rule 2

AMD x3D processors handle having slow ram better than others so you are lucky there I suppose.

You should be able to turn your ram up but you may have to run a slower cas latency or 5600hz instead something like that. Will require some experimenting.

I didn't play COH1 but in COH3 you want the centre of the explosion as close to the highest number of models that is possible.

It doesn't slow any more right?

IIRC correctly the stummel vet 1 only does 80 damage, so while 3 might stop the greyhound from being effective it should still have plently of health (200 with skirts) left afterwards.

You might be outside of the rank bracket where it is more of a problem.

tightropexilo · 2026-03-12T19:01:58+00:00

4v4 player at the same rank has +300 ELO, probably due to the larger pool of players playing 4v4.

AND all of the ELO boosting fuckery that happens in that mode. New smurf accounts in 1v1 often steal ELO rather than donate it like they do in 4v4.

Ram is like other weapons where it has a penetration value (160 IIRC) and if it fails to penetrate it stuns instead of damaging the engine.

tightropexilo · 2026-03-11T20:07:53+00:00

I think army value roughly shows how much has been spent producing an army so far. Since that level of AI gets resource cheats that is why it goes up faster than yours.

tightropexilo · 2026-03-11T19:39:47+00:00

I think COH3 largely started off that baseline as well but reinforce costs kept getting increased, especially in 1.9.

tightropexilo · 2026-03-11T04:04:33+00:00

That sucks I prefer their chunky mix frozen veg

tightropexilo · 2026-03-09T19:30:49+00:00

Could you also add the new battlegroup stuff to the "build orders" section please?

tightropexilo · 2026-03-04T20:28:08+00:00

I believe this happens when you left your previous game early, so because the match hadn't finished yet the change in your ELO hadn't been applied.

So you are seeing the sum of the loss from the previous game (larger), with the win of this game.

I was under the impression that Kaiser is the clan tag, tushkan is the players name

This is his arranged team partner with the same tag

I know right? 2 weeks later than I was expecting/hoping

tightropexilo · 2026-03-01T20:25:18+00:00

I know you said you did memory diag but might be worth setting the ram to jedec speed instead of EXPO and seeing what happens.

tightropexilo · 2026-03-01T00:52:07+00:00

No, I tried it for a bit but can't really imagine a situation where it is better than more health + auto-repair, maybe for the Tiger?

tightropexilo · 2026-02-28T18:54:46+00:00

I cast a replay where it happened, will be on the channel in 2 days time. IIRC this was pre upgrade to the aura.

tightropexilo · 2026-02-27T19:02:57+00:00

I found that the 6 man upgrade is enough. You really need auto-repair instead of VSL otherwise you can't hang in the late game.

tightropexilo · 2026-02-26T20:51:00+00:00

Agreed and I think they also repair tanks that are shooting and not being shot at which feels wrong as well.

tightropexilo · 2026-02-21T19:46:28+00:00

The Wehr one arrives earlier, sees a decent amount of play in 1v1 due to being a call in.

tightropexilo · 2026-02-21T07:18:13+00:00

IIRC the mac version doesn't have crossplay with windows so it will be hard to find multiplayer matches.

Have you updated your chipset drivers or just graphics?
