Do I need the DLC? Is this game more realistic than COH?
Just wondering if I need the DLC.

Im also wondering if the game is more realistic than COH?......Also if the mods for this game are better/more realistic than COH?

Wich DLC?
And yes, this game is at least 5 times more realistic than COH, and at least 10 times with a mod

If you are looking for a multiplayer experience then the DLC's are not needed at all
and there is no reason to buy em.

Yes,the game is hugely more realistic than COH.
Some examples for that are that you can take basicly everything in and out of a vehicle
(including men,supplies,MG's that the vehicle uses ect)
and damage tanks in a very wide amout of ways
(basicly damage or destroy every individual part of the tank)

If you use Robz Realism Mod,Which is the only way i am willing to play the game,
then the game will be much more fun and realistic.
it also has a large community so you can find matches.
here is a link to the mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=610304528

Though,the rest of the mods dont really focus on realism and are more just messing around with cool stuff and different settings.

Hope i helped :D

The game is far more realistic than COH. I bought both when I started out but moved to Men Of War very quickly. DLC is helpful if you want to skirmish vs bots. Robz is great but Valour is better.
You need DLC if you want to play against bots.
ALso just a couple ways that this game is more realistic than CoH.

All units have an inventory and all weapons requires ammo, and vechiles require fuel.

Vehicles are modeled like in warthunder where they have armour, much like their real life counter parts, and damage deal is not applied to a hp bar, but rather parts of the vehicle like the turret, the barrel, and the engine can be damaged and the crew can be killed.

Vehicles have crew and you can capture enemy Vehicles by shooting out the crew,

So If I get a mod, I still can't skirmish against bots if I didn't bought DLC?

I might be wrong, but I believe that is the case. A lot of mods uses the DLC mods as a base. I could be wrong.

You can use custom coop/pve missions for that, bot dlc isnt required, it only lets you add bots instead of players on pvp maps and gives few coop missions (there already are dozens of free ones on workshop)

Have both games , mow is better in every aspect then coh
Read mods carefully! They usually tell you what you need to play them, some mods do require the official DLC. If you need DLC to skirmish bots then a mod will not allow you to skirmish bots with out the DLC.

any gameplay on youtube would show you that the game i infinitely more realistic than COH.

Just a few exemple:
situation1:
you can take one rifleman, aim at the seat of a jeep driver, kill the driver in 1 or 2 shots, steal the jeep with your rifleman, put it somewhere to us it as a cover, get out of the jeep, take out the machingun on it and few ammo for extra firepower, take cover behind it.

situation2:
use a tank, switch ammo to HE (high explosive), fire on the ground near a point to defend, create a hole, use a well trained infantry soldier and crouch inside to hide, ome ennemy come close to you and throw a grenade inside the hole, your man grabs it and throw it back, then fire at the ennemy and kills them. you crawl to their corpses and loot their stuff. you find a loaded bazooka. you aim at the window of a nearby building and fire the rocket. a part of the wall fall down. someone was running below but the wall fell on him and he dies. (or get injured).

situation3:
two medium tanks face each other. A and B. A fire first but the round ricochet. B aim for the track and detrack A. furious, A try to aim at the turret but fails to damage B. B decide to get around A to have a clean hot in its rear. tho while doing so it expose its side. B fire but the roud ricochet and kill a poor rifleman running in the background. A fire and hit just between the turret and the chassis locking the turret in place. B is a bit worried because if he wants to continue to shoot he needs to stay with its side open. B turn to face back A tho it cannot fire anymore. A detrack B. A decide to switch ammo type from AP to HE and fire. the shock is so violent that it kills some crew members inside B without damaging the tank.at the end still alive B crew members decide to abandon the tank. tho one tak a dynamite and hide behind the tank.
after a while A trakc is repaired and come close to the abandoned B tank. a heavy machingun is wiping out A troops so the tanks came forth to et rid of it. it stops and take time to aim. tho A didn't saw the dynamite a hidden guy threw below it and both tanks go boom.

of course those are uncommon scenario but it can happen

tanks don't have any HP bar. if you use ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weaponery aginat a heavy tank you will never pierce its armor unless you pummel it from close range in the same spot.
you can even run out of fuel with a vehicle or lose a wheel ^^

(the best thing i did was to stick a dynamite inside a marder III from the rear and watching the other player trying to flee from it but the dynamite stayed on the tank :3 )

the mods bring all this to a new level with more tank disfunctions, weapon jam, phosphorous and frag shells, trenches, foxholes, planes, boats, trains, more range, infantry getting killed in one bullet excpet if hit in the arm. (i wonder if one can loose its weapon if hit in the arms)

it is so much realistic than COH that a whole squad can get killed by one well placed man with a machingun in seconds.
