Leaked CoH3 Battlegroups

BATTLEGROUPS

So, lets look at battlegroups. While I was speculating that battlegroups have choses (or maybe you customize them a bit before the game), its not confirmed, to make it easier I'il mark abilities as choses and wings.

What the heck are "mountain senses"?

It sounds like they were unable to come up with a decent idea for the ability.

Oh boy, Zeal again. Because the game needs extra incentive to blob.

I wonder if it will be as brainless as the bersaglieri's passive sprint... Hopefully not.

It's fake, somebody seems like they just wanted a little bit of attention so he went into the files or saw the units from mods and cooked up these "up-coming" battlegroups, besides the Canadian Vanguard one which is actually real, but it will have the Canadian Heavy "Shocktroop" infantry instead, along with the Croc.

Some pointers -

No new US or DAK Battlegroups, doesn't make sense only for the British and Wehrmacht getting some.

Base howitzer doesn't make sense, it would be a 25 pounder which is already working in the game.

Mormon Herrington would most likely have a place-holder picture that's already in the game like with the rest of the units, doesn't make sense for them to photoshop one specifically for these concepts.

I already mentioned the Canadian Vanguard although a Sexton would make more sense here since it was an actual Canadian vehicle anyway.

Coastal reserves would probably have the Osttruppen portrait as a placeholder, doesn't make sense for it to be a ship.

Same with the L6 40, it already has an in-game icon.

The Gebirsjägers are real however, but again they would most likely use already present placeholder portraits instead of photoshopping newo nes, there seem to be upgrades and abilities for them in the files but they were either scrapped or for the future, same with the US Rangers which even have entities but their models are pink boxes currently.

Also the Kettenkrad has a "light" tow, meaning they'd probably need to either change that or change the "weight" of the LeIG and whatever AT gun they intend on making it tow which is most certainly not going to be the Pak 40 as it realistically was beyond the capabilities of a Ketten unless it's something like the LG 40 or they introduce the Pak 36 or Rakettenwerfer again.

Hard to say. During first alpha, they've actually had those commanders in the game files. So while video is clearly a mod (guy just sorted out the abilities basically by name), concept of those commanders is legit.

Stupid name but my money would be on some goofy "height advantage" ability where height advantage gets buffed or gives units height advantage at normal height or some other silliness.

I'm assuming the 2 Brit new battlegroups are just in the files because of early brainstorming to generate maximum commonwealth unit ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a good bit different on release.

Leaked == Unfinished

Most likely a placeholder name. Although we already know how many placeholders in CoH 3 are still there in the live version after all.

Thanks GachiGasm

Maybe, but I'd almost bet my non existing Merit that the commander will release with this ability name.

Do we have any confirmation this isn't just someone's homebrew BGs being pushed into the public sphere?

Gachigasm posted this basically two years ago already.
This might be "dead data" by Relic and they do not plan to follow up on it but make something completely different instead, but I find this hard to believe.

Okay thanks for clearing that up.

EDIT: I missed the spoiler within a spoiler.

Huh, interesting. Well fair enough then I guess.

But wouldn't the Mormon Harrington overlap with the Humber as it fulfills the same role then basically? I'm guessing it's a placeholder unit like many others.

tidaltv put this video out and while the units and abilities will show up eventually (most likely) in some form or fashion, nothing about this is concrete. But sensational Youtube video titles get views, so the casual community is eating up that these battlegroups are real and will cost money and are Relic's focus over balance.

The Polish community in COH have always provided what seems a strong part of the playerbase (gulp! thinks Farton, Price and Katitov). It astonishes me that when the Italian campaign features Monte Cassino, there is no sign of a Polish contingent. To which, Polish players will presumably sigh and state they have always been overlooked.

Review yourselves Relic. Look at Steel Division. You might even find space for the New Zealanders and Brazil.

Katitov

I never knew Katitov was Polish
