Avatar Blog Pt.3: The New Hotness

highlight
We loved Strummingbird's original collection of simple Company of Heroes 2 infantry unit avatars. We had no idea that the project would develop into the miniature masterpieces that you will see below. "The New Hotness" refers to his latest collection of vehicle avatars that feature washed-texture surfaces, camouflages, and backgrounds. We offer them to you here in super high resolution -- just click on the image to view the original at 2100x2100 pixels. Bask in the glory of these artworks that depict the armored beasts of the Eastern Front.



The Sturmpanzer, nicknamed "Brummbär" (grumbling bear) by the Allies, and "Stupa" by the Germans.



The Soviet nickname for the M4 Medium Tank was "Emcha" because the open-topped figure 4 resembled the Cyrillic letter che or cha (Ч).



4,102 M4A2 medium tanks were sent to the U.S.S.R. under Lend-Lease.



The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234 Puma amored car with a medium-velocity 50mm main gun.



The 76-mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3), is named after the factory that produced it. Zavod imeni Stalina translates to "factory named after Stalin."



The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician.



The first ISU-152 fully enclosed and armored assault gun was made at Factory No. 100, Chelyabinsk, in 1943.



The Sturmgeschütz III assault gun was Germany's most produced armored fighting vehicle during WW II.



"Katyusha" is the English transliteration of the Russian word Катюша, a diminutive or pet name form of the name Екатерина (Katerina or Catherine).



The KV-2 heavy assault tank with its massive M-10 152mm howitzer was heavier and slower than the KV-1.



The 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper was a Nebelwerfer on wheels.



The StuG III Ausf. G was the final and most common version of the series. Around 10,000 Stug III's of various types were built by Alkett and MIAG from 1940-1945.



The M3A1 was supplied via lend-lease channels to the Soviet Union and Britain. It was also known as the "White Scout Car," after its manufacturer, the White Motor Company.



Want to learn about the SdKfz.222? Keep an eye out for FichtenMoped's next "Theatre of History" episode on the COH2.ORG portal.



This concludes our 3-part Blog Series. If you appreciate this wonderful collection of custom COH2.ORG avatars by Strummingbird, please let him know about it in the comments below!

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
