Introduction
Veterancy plays a big role in Company of Heroes 2 and seeing all of those stars above our unit shields is always satisfying. While the veterancy bonuses for the original Soviet and Ostheer factions are quite straightforward -- unlocking one ability and two consecutive bonuses -- the two Western Front Armies and British Forces have a plethora of different bonuses and more ranks of veterancy. The information provided in-game gives a general idea of what the buff consists of but this Guide aims to detail the true effect.

Note
Developing a game is human work and thus is prone to error, exactly like this guide. There may be bonuses that are bugged or not mentioned in the text file but exist in the files and vice versa. Similarly this guide might have misinterpreted bonuses. Future patches will no doubt change veterancy stats, and on that note, I encourage you to bookmark this page, and check back after every patch!
This guide will be constantly be monitored and updated. If you want to see the pure files for yourself see COH2 Modding: Getting started with the official tools. With the attribute editor you can see how it all works. This way relies on Relic updating the tool, if you want to see the actual files form the game itself use the Extracting Statistics Guide. This is much less user friendly but always up-to-date.
