CoH's Armies

[IDFangelus]

What whould be the division of the armies in CoH?
Races like in DoW, Countries like in AOE, Armies like in Red Alert - 2 sides but with sub-armies, or is it somthing new that we didnt see yet?

And not less important, Which armies will be in CoH?

[LoneWolf666]

The armies are basically two - Allies and Axis. It's actually quite false, because there are only Americans and Germans in the game but Relic insists on such nomenclature...

Furthermore, while playing you can specialise your army by selecting a branch - Americans get to choose between Armor, Airborne and Infantry branches, dunno about Germans but probably the same.

I think he means as in "Pattons 3rd US Army...."


may be wrong tho lol.

Axis gets completely different commander trees...we'll showcase these soon in the bi-weekly IGN videos.

W00t!... that's nice :devil:
Awaiting vidz :steam:

cool Tranj, been waiting on IGN's part 2, glad ya give us some bits now and then, lol think every war topic question has been analyzed and debated. Waiting to talk about various game play elements.. :report:

[LoneWolf666]

Wheeeee! The joy of posting on the Relic Forums! :D

I have completely no idea what branches do Axis have, so I'm even more excited.

As for which army as in the name, in single player you take command of Able company, and you fight pretty much whatever was in Normandy those days... ;)

[Soldier of Dest]

You are excited? Look at me :hippy::bow: ^^

When CoH is released, the next addon/... will need brotherhood moments to make me feel excited :moose:
LoL imagine you command a squad (in CoH) and suddenlywhen one of your soldiers is hit (right leg or whatever) the other soldiers stop and help him... ;)

I guess they will be:
PANZERS!!!!!
Aircraft
Ludicrous Superweapons

[Lochar]

Im thinking

Luftwaffe
Anti Tank weaponry


I dont know why they wouldnt have infantry but something to balance MP.

[DatonKallandor]

I like Starfishers tree idea. But the Femminazis and Comminazis can be streamlined to make room for Ludicrous superweapons.

For a more serious tech-tree:

- Black Ops (Gestapo/SS/whatever secret organizations are left)
- Luftwaffe
- Superweapons (seriously - I am talking jet planes, Maus tanks and V-1/2/3 Vergeltungswaffe Cruise Missiles)

Ok...now it gets creepy... :jaw:

@Daton:

Black Ops....maybe...
Luftwaffe...ok (+ Fallschirmjäger)
Superweapons ala Jet planes, Maus tanks, V-Rockets?!?!

1) Jet planes were used after france as an last hope.
2) Vergeltungswaffe?! The game is about Able company(D-Day), not Great Britain :crazy:
3) The maus tank never had an fight.. There were only prototypes (and not in france)
