The A.I. is pretty dumb I think, the units just move towards you without much brain. Idk, it just felt like the A.I. enemy didn't have tactics or anything like that.

what is the point of the StuG III's special fire ability, it has a very small range radius, and to use it you need to drive very close, when similar tanks can shoot much farther in СoH 2.

Super nitpicky, but why do the elite units (like Guards) have Bazookas in a campaign mission set early in the war? I understand in MP but it's a piece of gear and capability that wasn't available. 

The British didn't feel like a huge threat in the Alpha Mission. They seem sufficiently smart given their low amount of units/tools,  but clearly (by intention or not) we're just meant to knock them down like pins. The city at the end was such a roll-over that it didn't feel "tactical" or earned to take it. Fair amount of buildings but not enough units to make the urban combat dynamic enough. The counter-attack was also just all light vehicles and infantry? There was no challenge at all, which is good for beginners I guess but also a bit boring for people familiar with how to play COH. 

The AI very noticeably had prompts based on my movement. It was super easy to probe the fog of war and kite them into my fire. It felt like they were in hibernation, and as soon as I pushed to X range, they woke up and acted like regular AI. I'd love to see some countercapping and probing of my lines instead of this static defense we're seeing. 

Within the Alpha Mission we have it feels like the AI is extremely basic. The AI did move some units into cover or used a couple abilities but this honestly did not feel like a challenging AI to face. I think part of this is because the AI is in a scripted mission where it can't do anything to radical. I think we would honestly need to be able to play like a regular skirmish game to see how the AI preforms. The current set up does not give a good limitus test for the AI.

I feel like if the enemy tanks would use a bit more "atack move" they would use their max range a bit better. Wich makes them harder to flank, which gives some longer engagements.  Now they're definitly aggresive which is fun to defend against, but it makes the fights over so soon. Makes it you barely have time to reposition your troops. 

This was a pretty tank orientated mission though so not understandably not much room for long infantry engagements.

The enemy AI needs to behave like a legitimate threat, instead of behaving like static units. They should be reorganizing their units, moving units from Point X to Point Y, and formulating a plan to counter-attack my position, while I sit there preparing for my next assault, unaware I might get bamboozled. Overall, the AI was slightly easy and I basically pushed my way through the mission with ease. It definitely needs improvement, and I would like to see them challenging my "personal space" and outsmarting me with flanking manoeuvres.

AI is definitely too easy.  But we are given way too strong units

With pioneers and p.grens  and recovery truck and ambulance....offering on site repairs, reinforce and healing...

Your P3 clearly outclass the few stuarts skirmish. 

All the UK AT infantry and MG and mortar are easily stomped by flamepanzer and stuh.

AI je směšná. Vojáci by se měli skrýt automaticky ! Tanky při palbě by se měli umět skrýt, couvat ... Tak snad do vydání hry se toto opraví 



My initial impression is that the AI reacts very poorly to armour - Yes, they have some tools that could damage the tanks, but overall you simply rush in two tanks and there's not really anything that can stop them.

This is probably partially due to mission design however, but still they did not really offer proper resistance to tanks. With that said, they do dodge grenades fairly well and with how infantry is balanced currently the Panzergrenadiers don't actually really perform all that well against the British.

The AI seem to reverse their tanks at towards the players tanks a lot 

This is not a very important gameplay thing but it is weird that every British Infantry Section has an officer with it. Even weirder that when that model is killed you will sometimes hear someone yell "They got the corporal!". I think having an NCO model in each section is a really cool idea and prevents each squad being a squad of clones, I fully support it. I just hope he actually is an NCO in the final game and not an officer as he is currently represented. 

If it is DPS/ gameplay we are worried about and don't want to add an extra rifle to the squad, do what they did in CoH1 with the Volksgrens/ US riflemen and have one model carrying an AR or Carbine and only have him fire it in semi automatic. 

The AI in general is messy, they just blob both for tanks and infantry. 

To be honest I would like to see more fight and fall back type AI mechanics, where the unit fight until a threshold(hp/time) and fall back to another defensive position tank/trap/sandbags. Keep doing this until the final point. This then could make it easier for you to programme the AI whilst maintaining a level of realism. 

Will the Commonwealth Forces get any additional faction mechanics like the US Forces and Wehrmacht had in the pre-alpha? The game's website only touts the faction being streamlined and easy to play. Being a fan of both CoH 1 and 2's British I am somewhat concerned what this means for my favourite faction.

I have no idea how to give feedback to this game that wants your feedback but some issues I've already seen in COH3:

1. Why can I not look at the post-game stats? it auto kicks me out after a very short period of time. 

2. Why do individual units only show a bar of xp and not kills and other stats? The other games had it.

3. why can I not chat post game? can't give a GG at the end? 

4. Why is chat so censored? the voice actors swear but I can't type "hello" or "greetings" ?
_____-It feels like the whole game is designed to remove any human interaction between players... which I thought was the whole reason of playing multiplayer?

I was such a die hard fan of the last 2 COH's and have been counting down the days for this one.  These features were all present in the last games which makes me confused as to whyit would purposely be designed like this? I am angry and upset that my favorite game franchise has fallen so far :(
