COMPANY of HEROES 3 FACTIONS – ALL FOUR FACTIONS PLAYABLE DURING LAUNCH
Company of Heroes 3 will be the largest entry in series history. Whether you are a single-player player or a multi-player player, understanding and mastering the factions can help you win.
Each of the playable factions in CoH 3 has its own playstyle and units. This allows players to choose between mobile, defensive or versatile factions before they even step foot on the battlefield. The majority of the players are returning to previous entries. However, the third entry introduces a highly-requested faction.
Company of Heroes 3 Factions
Company of Heroes 3 will launch in four factions that can all be controlled across its different game modes. The campaign’s dynamic focus is on the Allies’ efforts to establish a foothold in Italy. While the narrative-driven North Africa operation focuses more on the Deutsches Afrika Korps, the campaign’s story-driven North Africa operation focuses entirely on the Deutsches Afrika Korps. The Wermacht completes the roster.
Here is a list of what you can expect, as provided by the developer.
British Forces
Company of Heroes 3 shows the British forces as a more mobile and younger army than previous entries. The British forces are meant to be the easiest to interact with when you start the game. They have a simplified tech tree and can be used offensively or defensively.
US Forces
The US Forces is a staple of the series and will be familiar to those who have played before. This CoH 3 faction features flexible infantry, light vehicles and tanks. Each unit has the option to choose between two Veterancy abilities at Veterancy Level 1. This allows them to specialize in order for them to be more effective in combat.
Afrika Korps (DAK)
Company of Heroes 3’s only newcomer is a mobile, mechanized force. It focuses on speed and mixing infantry units alongside powerful vehicles. The faction is kept busy by heavy support weapons and light vehicles, but it will soon transition to a more robust armoured force during the later stages.
Wehrmacht
CoH3’s Wehrmacht group is a strong, defensive force that can also mount powerful counterattacks when necessary. The tech structure of this faction has been slightly modified from previous iterations. Players are now required to choose between investing further in their buildings and unlocking units like the Wirbelwind or StuG or moving up to the Panzer IV. “
Company of Heroes 3’s factions are able to field units of various nationalities. British Forces can recruit Nepalese soldiers, while the Afrika Korps may call upon Italian units.
CoH 3’s launch factions are its largest yet, and will hopefully keep us busy for quite some time after the game’s November 17 release.
