Company of Heroes 3 Tools

Wiki tools turn static guides into actionable prep for Company of Heroes 3 ranked and skirmish. This hub links interactive helpers embedded on child pages — Build Order Planner and Faction Picker — designed to complement Builds, Factions, and Guides rather than replace them.

Available tools

Tool	Purpose	Page
Build Order Planner	Checklist build timings and milestones	Build Order Planner
Faction Picker	Questionnaire-style faction recommendation	Faction Picker

Tools load as on-page components when implemented — HTML placeholder comments mark embed locations for the site generator.

When to use tools vs guides

Use tools when:

• Drilling repeatable openings before ranked — pair with 1v1 Meta Builds
• Undecided between US Forces and DAK — Faction Picker
• Tracking personal 5:00 Manpower / 10:00 Fuel metrics

Use guides when:

• Learning mechanics — Getting Started, Cover and Combat
• Understanding patch context — Updates
• Campaign help — Italian Campaign Tips

Tool workflow example

1. Faction Picker → US Forces
2. Read US Forces faction page
3. Copy US Builds into Build Order Planner
4. Ten Hard AI games — How to Beat AI
5. Ranked — Multiplayer Basics

Future tools

Potential additions community requests:

• Battlegroup comparison table
• Patch changelog diff viewer
• Final Stand wave planner post-launch (~July 29, 2026)

Suggestions via site feedback channels — no promises on timeline.

Accuracy disclaimer

Tools reflect wiki content at generation time — after patches 2.4.0 / 2.5.0, verify timings against Updates. Interactive outputs suggest; Tier List and pro builds confirm.

Tools accelerate preparation — Controls muscle memory and Resource Management discipline still win matches on Steam app 1677280.

Mobile and second-screen use

Tools designed for desktop wiki reading work on mobile browsers for checklist reference during console-style couch skirmish — tablet beside PC is popular for Build Order Planner tick boxes. Touch targets depend on site theme; zoom if needed.

Privacy and accounts

Wiki tools require no login — no account data collected for planner or picker interactions. Bookmark pages locally; no cloud sync until future feature explicitly announced with privacy policy update.

Integration with generate pipeline

Tool placeholder comments mark embed slots for Astro components — content JSON ships first, interactive UI follows in template workflow.

Feedback loop

When tools launch, compare planner tick results with Builds text — mismatches indicate patch drift worth reporting via site feedback so wiki stays aligned with ranked reality. Tool pages remain useful as checklists even before interactive widgets ship.

Additional Company of Heroes 3 notes

Relic continues supporting Company of Heroes 3 through Steam app 1677280 with balance patches and new modes including Final Stand around July 29, 2026. Cross-link mechanics guides — Getting Started, Resource Management, Cover and Combat — with Updates whenever a patch changes timings you rely on. Community ladder improvement comes from repeating one build ten times, reviewing one mistake per loss, and verifying Controls hotkeys stay consistent across play sessions. Review Tier List after each major patch, drill openings in Build Order Planner, and queue ranked only when Hard AI results prove your build order—not luck—carries matches.
