The reason there are no other companies doing highly detailed rts is because rts is almost a dead genre outside of relic and blizzard. Not quite as detailed sure but much larger in scale and unit counts and relatively performative (well some are problematic but it varies). Other RTT / RTS titles that I find more impressive is stuff like wargame / steel division. Immerse yourself in two epiccampaigns, four unique multiplayer & co-op factions, and a breathtaking new theatre spanningfrom the sweeping deserts of North Africa to the rolling hills of Italy. I understand why it turned out this way but I'm not impressed regardless. Company of Heroes 3 is out now Bigger and better than ever, CoH3 is bringing its acclaimed mixof action, tactics, and strategy to millions of fans across the world.

They also were on a tight budget due to THQ going under, and the shipped product really felt that way. They prioritized relatively unimportant things in development which made the gameplay experience feel worse. My friend using a 2500k + 770 from its launch got a fair chunk of poor performance even on modest settings which did not speak well for somebody who was well above the min requirements.

This is the frustrating part of the game, there's no real reason from a gameplay perspective that a toaster shouldn't be able to run this on low graphics but it's a fundamentally poor experience if you try. The crashes look nicer I guess? But even on maps without blizzard and snow, the game stutters and you need fairly powerful cpu hardware to reach 60hz, even dropping graphics to basically nothing. Company of Heroes 2 is a World War 2 RTS developed by Relic and released in 2013.

Maps aren't bigger, loitering planes were in both, unit counts are maybe slightly bigger for soviet but comparable for Germany. Company Of Heroes 2 Company of Heroes 2 is free on the Humble Store. I'm not concerned about up close super detail, but the games simulation is not notably better than its own predecessor with the exception of blizzards.
