panzerjager cant pen for some reasons

Figure it out, if pick the new battlegroup USA, all other Doctrine in HQ locked out, so we can't build tank depot at all, waitting for the fix

AI Allied sometimes not call tank at all, maybe the new battlegroup trigger that weird behavior

I have been playing Spearhead since COH2, and it is an excellent mod. Am having issues with this mod with COH3. Yesterday, Scar Error playing as US vs. German AI on "Traversees" map. Settings were Advanced AI with AI custom economy turned off. Issue happened after about 5-10 minutes in game. A retry caused the game to freeze, earlier, with no scar error message. This was with real players on my team vs an entire team of AI.

Later, tried same map - my team as British vs German AI and played the game the whole way through no issues. Settings were same: Advanced AI with custom AI economy turned off. This was with AI teammates, and foes.

although, i have noticed something odd, my base keeps losing buldings every so often, and when i go check, i see demo craters near where the buildings have been hit, meaning, it must be ally AI setting demo charges at my base? anyone else getting that?

true, but i typically have both active. i usually have at leat 4 engineers or more on the field at a time. one as a defense based team and one that goes out with the tanks as support.

@Spinarack
Thanks for the suggestion, but every factions' assault engineers are set up this way. They already have better combat capability (sturmpios imo are one of the best) and faster repair. This gives you reason to keep regular pios around instead of upgrading all of them.

Ty Gents for the Update.
Power of Patience On.....

i would like to suggest for the Last Stand Battlegroup, the new engineer type should have the new buildings in their build menu, to make it an incentive to build them. otherwise, the fact they only have the new sandbags and none of the new building types kinda makes them mostly pointless. just an opinion of mine. i dont mind the 2 max limit, but its just that if they cant build the new buildings, i dont find it worth making them. thats my only suggestion so far, but otherwise good work!

also US armor BG bugging

Italian gastadory BG not work will .. error

Thanks for the latest BG patch!!

Looking forward to this great mod including the new BG's. Any time frame for release yet?

we need update for new DLC

I have found that american CPU, whateve battlegroup it takes, always have wizzbang and pershing... they appear from the back of their HQ without using any ability at all, usually appear 4/5 units but always a pershing and a wizzbang.... so u have bombing runs, rocket artillery and heavy tank destroyer.......

I get tons of scar errors with this mod

Is there anywhere I can see the stats of a guns pen while in game?

Any information about the recent patch?

Getting huge frame drops every time I play this mod in MP

Germans building the fighting position ALWAYS creates a Scar Error, we tested it, it happens always, making it unplayable because people, even if told not to, will build it just to crash the game if they are losing. Just remove the fighting postion from germany please.

the US seems to have the biggest of SCAR issues from what i have seen, when it was only British it wasnt as bad, and didnt crash me. and early game seems to have no issues, but later on is when the SCAR issues seemed to occur. my last match was 17mins, and it was around 12mins in with the setup i had that the SCAR issues started to arise more frequently. not sure if that helps or not.

I've had some crashes while running the Advanced AI mod. If turning off the custom econ fixes that than I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestion!

@Halfbodied Jish
Use Advanced AI and turn off custom economy.

The AI is very limited on what it's building. It only builds the most basic units and doesn't seem to construct anything mod specific.

The SCAR issues seem to only occur if any player plays as USA.

that depends. SCAR errors can happen because of conflicting mods or problems in our build.
the more (and more accurate) descriptions we get the better.

Love the tuning pack! Any idea on when the SCAR issues might be fixed? I would like to play as US.

OMG Thank you for your work!

Hello there! Any luck in dealing with the Allies AI issues yet?

@Mr Panda

They're being nerfed soon. I like how everyone decides to collectively complain about them in the past 3 days after not being touched for months.

Also:
- Bunker MGs have the same range as regular MGs.
- Flak Guns have the same or less range then AT.

You're shooting AP rounds at a building. Do you honestly think that is a good idea?

Great balance xD just place 10 bunkers for 10 fuel with the MG range of the all AT guns aviable for alies and you win game. Bunkers and eplmacement have 0 counter, 20mm eplacement have better range than 76mm and 57mm at guns so it just counter it at one burst. Bunkers need need about 20 hits to get destroyed. Repair ability is so fast that 1 squad can repair bunker faster than 57mm and 76mm combined shoot at once, so it never die. Bunker with MG are basicly aviable in 3 min of gameplay with 0 counter. Bombing run? ok, just get 100 ammo after ugprades and wait 4 minutes so enemy can build 4 more MG bunkers. Smoke them? ok, there is bunker covering next bunker. Basicly WWI gameplay but in worst possible way you can design it. I have replays if you wanna see xD

I understand, IRL can be a challenge for all of us at times. I really do enjoy your excellent mod by the way and I hope you will be able to continue working on it. I would.t play COH 3 without it.

@dockepler
Updates have been rolling in ~weekly. I try to upload changelogs when there are big changes; but I've been busy IRL, so less time for modding. As for the activity on the server, it's always been fairly low.

@illarionovmisha
I wouldn't do that because the italian models of those units can't use the store skins.

@achronos in terms of the units and techs, yeah, I guess so. But what I meant more was that once you switch to the Italian ToW version, it changes the skins of the infantry units and paint on the armoured vehicles, so sand-coloured tanks and units wouldn't look out of place on Italian maps.

Thanks for the response Achronos but there doesn't seem to be much activity recently on Discord. When can we expect a new Changelog to be available?

@dockepler
There is nothing wrong with the SH3 discord.

@illarionovmisha
We already have something similar, the three divisions are organized roughly by year:
- Armoured: <1943
- Guard: ~1944
- Infantry: ~1945

Excellent idea to improve the games historical validity and player immersion! What do you say devs?

Any major updates still planned for the future, or will it be just patches and fixes? Mod is great though, well, for me at least. Feels very much like my favourite amazing Wikinger for CoH2.
Speaking of Wikinger, in their CoH3 version, they have an option to choose between the African and the Italian versions of the Brits. Adding a similar feature to your mod would make it even greater, in my opinion.

What happened to the Spearhead III Discord?!

Just tried playing wehr luftwaffe and found the unlock for the wirbelwind doesn't appear in the waffenkammer once selected

Last Patch broke some thing in multiplayer koop.
You can't build Bunker for MG with pioneers, Panzerfaust not Working.
Bot is rushing at 4 Minutes with Stuarts like crazy, he can go over bridges that are destroyed, can you bring back the old version before 20.06.2025?

Panzerfaust skill from Airborne German Unit not working correctly

Yo, just wanted to say thanks for making this mod, keeping it going, and recommending Advanced AI to go along with it. Keep up the good work lads <3

I always encounter Nashorn and Jagdpanzer, seldom a Panther. Haven't seen a Tiger and King Tiger ever produced by the AI. Is this a problem?

The mod has stopped being fun and has gone all out to be competitive. Vehicle wrecks can no longer be easily flattened which leads to unnecessary clogging. Everything feels like it has the same range. Concentrating the view to the front makes no difference and the resource limit is utter nonsense. This only means that you can't keep up in a 2v4

nope.

Any chance for a Super Pershing call in?

your statement is a lie.

A'ight this mod is a little ridiculous and unbalanced, how does a Panzer F1 bounce 5 rocket launcher hits???

Buff Brits, they are so crappy, not fun playing them at all.
