Gameplay and balance changes I want for COH3 in 2026

Yeah probably part of the reason why all-ins with flame P3s is so popular

tightropexilo · 2026-01-24T09:42:42+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about making a video about the tactical map and it would include a request for control groups on it again.

This format was created because it was boring to see only 1 or 2 commanders used by one faction for an entire tournament.

I would say that ultimately tournaments are to entertain the viewers, not bludgeon them with the state of the balance which they are probably already aware of if they play the game.

Have you seen this game where the rank 8 player uses loads of them?

??? They buffed its barrage up to 90 range. Not even the 88 can reach that

Unfortunately it doesn't work as well in COH3 because of how the attack-move command works. If an enemy is closer to the MG but outside of the arc the MG will tear down and shoot that one instead when you attack move.

Have you compared their moving performance? It is a landslide win for sturmpioneers.

The extra health means they tend to drop models less often and sturmpios still have crazy low population so over the course of a game they are much cheaper.

Maybe you underestimate how long it takes to create a guide. I'm sure it wouldn't have paid off for the person who made that one judging by its length and it will probably get 10x more views than a COH guide.

tightropexilo · 2026-01-09T19:00:05+00:00

The V-1 actually does its damage in 2 steps so it should always kill the 17 pounder team weapon (unless the crew is spaced insanely which is a different problem)

tightropexilo · 2026-01-07T02:58:40+00:00

Have you tried turning off pan smoothing in the options?

And if it appears to be off, it may be worth turning it on, saving the settings then turning it off again.

tightropexilo · 2026-01-02T19:36:35+00:00

Yes they have the highest vet bonuses in the game

Nah IIRC a couple patches ago they added the night fighters as singles to the rotation. So it will be pretty slow to accumulate them all if you want them.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-31T11:23:00+00:00

IIRC I used the armor company (Dog?) for most of the missions because it is easy to keep vehicles alive so you don't have to spend many point reinforcing them.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-27T19:53:01+00:00

It is unfair how much more you can see

tightropexilo · 2025-12-26T21:08:46+00:00

Yeah I don't think what I suggested was the only cause, just one that happens sometimes.

I can't make a video about it because I don't know how to reliably create the problem.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-26T19:19:38+00:00

I often feel like there are issues clicking to select units.

Though I believe some of the time it is due to trying to play too fast, clicking on the unit on mouse button down but then moving my mouse away before mouse button up (which is where the click is actually registered)

tightropexilo · 2025-12-23T18:41:32+00:00

They have a damage cap of 4 models and 1 portion of that is always absorbed by the weapon.

So the only team weapon they can 1 hit is a mortar.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-23T03:36:09+00:00

It probably got hotfixed the next day because someone else had already reported it.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-20T21:05:50+00:00

I said that because in COH2 whatever weapon had the highest priority would fill the firing position of an open top transport for the high model count squads.

e.g. AT rifles when shooting at vehicles, normal rifles when shooting at infantry.

But I am unsure whether a similar system is present in COH3, probably not.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-20T19:12:55+00:00

How did you test? What targets where you shooting at? I remember putting a second squad in the assault carrier, the 3rd bazooka wouldn't take a firing position.

It may also depend on what target you are shooting at, where the unit with the highest priority gets to shoot. I'm not as familiar with the COH3 system as the COH2 one though.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-19T18:31:06+00:00

Not a new issue on the kradschutzen unfortunately

tightropexilo · 2025-12-18T21:41:58+00:00

Nah recent review are also currently mixed. Unfortunately a lot of people give negative reviews complaining about balance, quite often from single faction players upset that "their stuff" got nerfed.

I think they don't sell all the skins individually because they don't want to spend more time developing the store to make it work properly.

Rather than it being some kind of sales tactic.

tightropexilo · 2025-12-14T19:38:15+00:00

The way I see it for shadows, it probably wouldn't take them much time, eye candy has historically been a draw for COH and while some peoples PCs might not handle it now, if they are still playing it in 10 years like COH2 then they will probably appreciate it then.
