New Battlegroups are hilariously stupid

[Arashenstein]

The british one is a bit acceptable but DAK version is completely out of CnC games it is total sci-fi. Invisible moving tanks even from close range is just hilarious.

The moment we are waiting for Nashorn or King Tiger or Jagdtiger or jagdpantehr and then suddenly "Invisible tanks"... what is going on at relic?

I agree. It was pretty disappointing to see the new DAK battlegroup.

I don't hate the camouflage stuff cause there's only so many ways you can translate the effective use of camo into a strategy videogame, but the battlegroup just seems too situational to be useful, especially in team games.

The british battlegroup seems absurd though. Good luck keeping any tanks on the field anymore if youre axis.

the best thing about COH1 was the immersion and realism, COH2 reduced and COH3 completely killed it.

Lol none of these games have been realistic, and you dont want them to be. Remember the winter mechanics in early CoH2? Where the cold could kill your troops? That was realistic. Remember how they removed it cause it wasnt fun? Yeah, me too.

Where can I see the new battlegroup information?

Ah yes realism.
Zombie Grenadiers and tracking heat seaking snares sure are realistic.
Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

I thought it was very clear what I meant by "realistic" it means this:

No Sci-fi stuff like:
- Invisible tanks
- RIfles converting magically to rangers on the field
- Bunkers and other constructions magically build themselves without workers
- Destroying a fuel cargo grants you fuel

I don't mind the silliness of it but I'm just not looking forward having to deal with invisible enemy tanks, sounds really frustrating to play against.

You say that but with how much MORE anti-tank the brits are getting in Australian Defense on top of what they already have PLUS ranger zook blobs and I dont think allies have much room to complain about Axis getting a short, probably muni expensive boost in survivability to their tanks

The 2 pounder are light AT, they will either need to be replaced or build heaps of them for mid or late game to still be relevant.

Youre not using the 2lbr to directly kill tanks. You're using it to slow/disable tanks so the rest of your BOYS blob / 6lb Guns / Tanks / 17lbrs / Scots Guard / ect. can kill the tank.

I was highly disappointed they took the snow storms out. The one 4v4 factory map was my favorite in CoH2. I mean I get it, nobody likes to be limited by game mechanics. But, ffs I've played Counter Strike since it was a HL mod off some sketchy website and I've been so burnt out on DE_Dust or Italy that I could happily never play the game again. Sometimes the change of pace is a nice break from the same damn thing every match.

British BG looks good hopefully options will be fluid and not metafied as the game goes on i absoluetly despise the metafied gameplay.

Dak BG ? i dont know man some of those abalities look extremely OP 1 Reverse DPS mainlines are problem already but now DAK has the potential to plunder US or UK LMGs from destoryed veichles. A halftrack that gives passive camo to every infantry and team weapon in its AOE or gimmicky radio beacons or the ultimate every vecihle becomes invisible until they engage ?
Some of these abalities dont look like they have been tought thorugly but i suppose that is to be expected in a Typical Gameplay DLC add on new gimmicks gonna be stupid OP until next content update so people would buy em. Ehhh I dont know i quited the PVP a while ago its bad for my sanity

We're playing a video game, you know that right?

I think it looks fun and I bet high elo guys will be giving us some exciting replays with it.
