What do you hope for in CoH3? What theater do you want?

Africa and Italy. I don't know how the Italian army would work, though

Infantry focus with light armor support maybe?

I want to be able to play a diverse alliance of communists and Americans and punch nazis

the coh 2 update is so good

>viable soviet units that aren't dshks, penals and lend lease shermans
>buttblasted wehraboos everywhere

>What do you hope for in CoH3?
For the game to be even more of a MOBA.

Pacific or South East Asia

I can't play it after Men of War

>firestorm commander removes your incendiary grenades

Should I buy OKW, US and British?

yes

Afghanistan

Generally it's OKW>Brit>US

but I personally prefer US>OKW>Brit

Vietnam

I want them to focus on making a fun, not necessarily ultra-balanced game aimed at becoming e-sphuuurt. That's what killed DoW3 and partially CoH2

please explain how balance improvements make the game worse

Never played COH 2, still playing eastern front for the first game. Is 2 worth it?

it's better than 1, and it has players so you can do multiplayer

>coh 2
>Reach the russian sniper team mission
>Never play the game again
How about no lame ass limited unit sneak mission faggotry. I wanted warfare, not sneaky breeky blyat special forces missions.

It would require twice the water per unit due to them using it to make pasta.

If I wanted to play chess I would be playing chess.

is this really your reply

It would work just like in real life, it wouldn't.

>Chess is balanced
White has a statistically proven advantage, chess is an inherently flawed game and the literal geniuses that were world champs hated the system. And the jews.

Do the devs seriously think WW2 battles were fought with like, two squads of infantry and thirty tanks?

fuck coh could have been so good. It's just too bad the game mechanics were fucking garbage. Oh, the MG42 opens up on an entire squad in negative cover on the road? They're not IMMEDIATELY FUCKING DEAD?

THEY JUST LIE DOWN AND START CRAWLING AROUND? WHAT?

fuck coh

Men of War is so fucking superior that it's painful.

I hope we see an african front, it's like the only one more significative front not used yet for a campaign
Others would be
France Campaign
Barbarossa Operation campaign until Stalingrad
Pacific Front/Manchuria/Japan Islands (but how much interesting would be compared to europe since there is no naval combat?
Also
>No fucking jew cash grab DLC practices like rangers in ardennes expansion
>No crappy campaign mechanics like ardennes expansion
>No more MOBA like mechanics in multiplayer like commanders and collectible cards
But because it's relic i doubt any of this won't happen

Pacific theatre with Australians Vs Japs.

it's a game about ww2 movies, not a simulator you faggot autist

And yet, MoW is still superior in that regard.

Movies with inaccurate representations of WW2 are fucking annoying as well.

mow is not similar at all, you don't need to bring it up in every coh thread

no your fucking annoying

I haven't play CoH 2, but what are those MOBA like mechanics?

Except that for the basebuilding and for the resources, it‘s extremely similar.

it might look like it is, but the gameplay isn't similar at all

COH 1 > COH 2

>And yet, MoW is still superior in that regard.
All these hypotheticals about how much better MoW is are pointless. Nobody fucking plays MoW. Nor should you be condoning their bullshit copy-paste/release the same game 15 thousand times strategy.

wonky shit balance, no players, worse mechanics

It is really similar. If there are two games that are easily comparable, its CoH and MoW. Even the cover system is basically the same.

For single player absolutely.

>he doesn't want a Pacific theatre game with new naval mechanics

Guys, help.

In the past month i've really wanted to go full fasc.

Wat do.

Normally, I'd call you a fucking idiot for believing fascism could exist in any real capacity in the 21st century. But you'd probably take it as some reverse psychology and go buy a few copies of mein kampf translated by jews.

So yeah man, dude. Go out in the public, shave your head. Make your voice be heard, you have the power.

Not really Moba, but in multiplayer you get to choose a card of which "commander" you use(every commander has different abilities and units combination)
Also there are card slots for regular units to boost their stats
Too bad you get these cards either with microtansactions or as random rewards similar to lootboxes

>Nobody fucking plays MoW

I do, and only sp

I see, well i only played the first one for the campaign, so the second would be the same

Play Steel Division.

t. hasn't played coh 2 in a year

you can grind for them too now retard

how do you fit naval mechanics in CoH?
Either big ships becomes abilities like in World in Conflict or there is a new mode which only conists of naval combat like it was with Napoleon Total War

Doesn‘t make it better.

yes it does

>>viable soviet units
which ones?

Only a little

it's still a crappy mechanics
If it would've been just 3-4 unique commanders for factions i would've been ok, but not making everything like a diablo game customization like they did for DoW2

...

>Only Tanks Matter: The Game

it's still kind of bad but it's not a big deal

Chess is really unbalanced bro. White has an advantage.

this is correct

>Steel division
>Easily one of the two worst WW2 games to come out of 2017

Just get MoW AS2 if you hate this game retard

>ass blasted Men of war fag

Nah, it was just a legitimately horrible game.

Come on, Men of war wasn't that bad.

I want Winter War and ski units

Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg is superior to them all.

>Buy full priced game
>Have to grind for options otherwise you lose to people who just outright pay for commanders

Not him, but I dropped the game once they started introducing p2w commanders. The type that if you didn't have in your loadout you'd be at a disadvantage. USF was notorious for needing armor company in 2v2+.

How's the Blitzkrieg mod?

armor company is one of the free ones

Which was the one with the pershing? Calvary? That certainly was not free.

heavy cav. I don't think it helped that much desu. if we're talking pre-december update, I would've gone with the calliope one

i'm not even sure they fought in italy
once mussolini was supplanted they surendered

play men of war, you can get a single soldier literally mowing down squads in open sight,
got a fucking russian conscript kill almost 100 german soldiers while defending sevastapol.
this game makes me want to award medal to soldiers every time i finish a game

Some of the more hardline fascist units fought on with the germans

I'll explain for him then.
Balancing for 1v1 esports tournaments fucked over anything above 2v2 and anyone trying to get into the game or are casual players.
Germany having literally anything better though was bullshit. Pziv was built at 3rd tier while any allied tank that could go toe to toe with it was in tier 4 and locked behind a commander.
Dow3 was never to be a competitive game though? I never saw mention of that.

Pershing is trash, still better off spamming jacksons

Nigger easy8 all the way. Get 3 of them tier 3 and they fire and move extremely fast.

it's the only logical next step
As much as I'd love Pacific theater, it would be Men of War Vietnam tier clusterfuck with foliage obscuring everything and if foliage isn't obscuring anything, then it doesn't do the theater justice

Simpler game play closer to CoH1. The load outs and over customization in CoH2 killed it for me. I still play CoH1 to this day, but CoH2 is boring, broken, and forgettable.

Calliope was pretty shit before they buffed it. Pershing is the safer choice since it means you don't automatically lock your ally into going HT route.

>MoW
>shows worst MoW games
Congrats on playing the most casualized entries.

I hope there's a German campaign this time.

They‘re all basically the same so you‘re best off just playing the latest.

>implying
The first one is fun in sp but the range and spread values of weapons make it inferior to dick around in the editor, assault squad 1 is better than 2 since that piece of shit """""HD""""" textures update and xp system.

casuals can still play around plenty. The last patch they nerfed german tanks and supertanks specifically for higher player count games.
Germany didnt have everything better, maybe play them and find out. P4 you get at T3 but all allied factions have plenty of methods to offset that. What do you want, T34 at T3? They used to let soviets go to T4 straight after T1 or T2 and it was a mess. Soviets get their main tank later but its very cheap to compensate.

Stop ramming my Tiger, fucking T-34s!

cyka))))

This, the German campaign in CoH was grossly underdeveloped. CoH2 was just a fucking shitshow wholesale, too, I don't know what the hell went wrong between the two.

CoH3 needs a bunch of checks that they just didn't deal with in the first two.
>better campaigns period
>bring back better XP and leveling, either consistent through campaign or start fresh each level so you can decide how you want to deal with that mission
>put fucking checks in place to stop people from avoiding the objective (lol ima capture the entire map, then take the town to trivialize the mission)
>put fucking checks in place to reward people for breaking your shitty mission structure, or flat out don't let them even try (destroying the 'invincible' enemy base when you're supposed to be defending from waves)
>remove brits or redo them holy shit what a useless fucking faction yeah mobile bases in exchange for garbage infantry and tanks, yeah that's what I want out of a faction in a game primarily focused on infantry combat

seriously the taliban were made for video games. they're the original guerilla rebels fighting a massively superior techno-army. it's like half life 2.

The ability to get rid of any units you don't want without throwing them at the enemy to get wiped ut

I played a lot of CoH 1, but i'm ultra shitter. Never learned any hotkeys and basicly played the game like WW1 simulator. Endless stalemate in trenches for hours.

>basicly played the game like WW1 simulator. Endless stalemate in trenches for hours.
Did you give the ww1 mod a go?

...

Me and my friend played against other players as allies and got our shit kicked in. Had a win/loose ratio of 40%. Switched to Germans and okw and started wrecking everything, was the easiest the game has ever been.

Don't do it Hitler, you ruined nationalism forever you dumb manlet.

No, but does it really enables even mor stalemates? How do you even win then?

>Never learned any hotkeys
this is me with every RTS

1 is better than 2, and easier to learn (but still hard to master.) CoH 2 is littered with loadouts, customization, and overall a balancing mess. So I'd hold your money for 3 and wait to see if they make it like 2, or go back to their roots with 1.

just going back to COH1 1.6-1.7 is all user

No its not you need 2 t34/76 to kill 1 pziv. They are not cost effective

Brits get better vehicles, Germany gets more offensive infantry and anti tank weapons
