Sweet guide, thanks! I wasn't in Alpha so this is very helpful

Nice Unit Guide! Thanks for writing, good work.
I like what I am seeing, looks like Relic did a good job!

The idea with the tables makes the guide nice and clear.

I saw the Lieutenant and Captain can improve actions of nearby units, I hope this won't end up in blobbing.

The M1 AT gun is 270MP. Is the Pak from T2 for Ostheer cheaper to? I always thought it was a little bit overpriced, same for Soviets.

They don't provide any auras to nearby units like the British officers in CoH. They are just their own squad, some of them have special abilities.

Great work !!!!!
Thank you.

nice work

That's a shame.

Looks extremely munition intensive,like wehrmacht of coh1.Is it choice between t2 and t3,or both required?

This guide is 'da bomb! Nice work, Ohme.

COH2.ORG always first always best!

+1 to Ohme, can I ask:
_How much resources does the US start with?
_Does each tier required previous tier to be purchased? (To get the Major, do you need to purchase Lieutenent or Captain?)

Not sure about the start resources. Major requires Lieutenant or Captain.

Lieutenant -> Major
Captain -> Major

Thx man one more question: is the ability to disembark tank only restricted to vehicle crew? For example, if I disembark the M20 crew and use the rear echelon to man the vehicle, can they get out too or these men lost forever?

Any soldiers inside the vehicle can disembark.

How many commanders for each faction at launch ?

Maybe you didn't read it correctly

"The Captain and his command squad can improve the actions of nearby infantry and are heavily armed. Gains veterancy from nearby allies. Effective at medium range vs. infantry and vehicles."

That is pretty clear, they must give off an aura, or how else can they improve the actions of infantry. This will definitely encourage blobbing, because how else will all your infantry improve? Also how else will the unit gain veterancy?

they improve the actions of nearby infrantry with supportive abilities (barrages/ major retreat point/ etc). at least thats what i saw in the latest videos

nice guide, I'd like more detail on the base structure which are new to me.

And where is the jeep ? :'( can't believe there's no jeep in coh2

It doesn't have any aura. It has an active ability that can improve the efficency of nearby squads under certain conditions, you'll find it out ingame

There is something doctrinal, I'm already loving it But it's not exactly the Jeep we are used to ^^

The officers can gain vet on their own but they gain vet faster if there are nearby units. The american officers themselves do not have any stat boost auras. The abilities the officers have in some way improve infantry actions but I think the unit descriptions in game will need to be changed otherwise people like yourself will think that the american officers give off a stat boosting aura.

The Lieutenant has frag and smoke grenades; Captain has a supervision to build units at base faster and at vet one has the ability to rally nearby squads to his position and the Major can call in a recon plane, an artillery strike, he can also become a reinforce point but that makes him unable to move and finally with vet he can drop fake arty flares.

You should forward this to Relic so they see how it's done
