4 men in a German squad. Backpack on his back. Pioneers

If this is later in the trailer, odds are those are just the pios we already have. The infantry the russians where fighting when the americans came to help were Ostheer troops.

Yeah, i figured they were paratroopers, what i'm trying to point out is: at least one of them has a m1911, at least that's what i think

HAMMERS AND NAILS LADIES, HAMMERS AND NAILS


why do i have a feeling you're the type to do a all engineer build order even if they sucked ass


i'm almost 100% sure that they're engies. why?



4 man squad.



Those are definetly engineers. This is a picture of the 9th engineers, odds are they gave them coats to look unique.

Also the guns they were using seemed way too small to be rifles. At first I though they might be using grease guns, but they were all only firing one shot at a time. I think the engineers are armed with Colt M1911 pistols. It would definetly make them more unique.

i disagree, they're using a rifle. check the trailer again. it's defs not a pistol. i'm thinking m1 carbine.

Aww, but they're wearing the brown winter coats in the summer, that makes no sense. C'mon Relic, if this is true then that's pretty dumb. There were/are other ways of making engineers stand out without giving them winter coats.

And btw a lot of US infantrymen wore those coats during winter, not just engineers.

Riflemen definitely are mostly Garands, they put the iconic clang a few times throughout the video - 19:37

I'm pretty sure they used the coats in more then just winter, but they are iconic for it. Remember that relic needs to make the troops easy to identify so they often wont have completely accurate uniforms. It's why shocks have armor even though it was engineers that had them, and all guards wear capes.

I hope they use some of the old VA from vCoH, on both sides. If they actually use the same actors for VA they used way back when as well that would be awesome too :D

Well no, those wool coats were designed for winter. In the summer US soldiers wore HBT jackets/pants, the M41 jackets and the wool trousers.

And I've never heard of wool coats being iconic for engineers.

US Armored Calvary/Recon operators were all equipped with m1 Carbines instead of garands.

I hope we'll get a commander with Armored Infantry, you could give them the camo HBT's n' shit it'd be awesome.

Well I don't think you can blame me for getting them mixed up. They look very similiar.
