Each faction in Company of Heroes has their own set of unique strengths and weaknesses and a major goal at Relic has been to make sure that these differences in strengths and weaknesses between each faction is well balanced. Some of these major differences is demonstarted in each faction's designed strategy, for example, one faction's strengths may be in it's defensive or offensive capabilities, or for example one faction might have a stronger early game where another faction is stronger in the late game. The faction comparison infographic below highlights these differences and goes over some of the strengths and versatility of each faction.

The USF description probably depresses some people.

Interesting poster. First time I've seen the UKF shield. Not sure what I think of it. The OKW and USF shields were so epic... they make the UKF shield just look kinda meh.

Surprised me to see that OKW is supposed to be the most aggressive faction. I see OKW as turtle into unstoppable late-game.

Seems the idea that certain factions perform well in different areas is institutionalised within Relic. That's concerning... :/

Other than that, interesting over view, but I think OKW has a strong late game too, doesn't it?

Some descriptions are just...I can't even...

OKW early game advantage? Soviets "rather weak with and against armor units"? USF "very powerful at combined arms tactics"?

"USF a bit weak in the heavy armor dept"
Whats about the Pershing? :*(

OKW early game? I mean the Kübel but yeah after 2mins it get killed by a M3/M20.. not really an early game advantage imo.

Soviets are also strong in late game imo

but fancy graphic though :luvDerp:

usf is strong with combined arms tactics, but no one actually uses combined arms cause players usually only tech 2 officers instead of 3.

This Kyle knows his stuff. OKW with an early game advantage and the same size as Ostheer?! ooh, and btw, let me fix that versatility for you: usf/okw -> soviets -> ostheer. This comparison looks fancy but is wrong...

Funny they mention okw as aggressive play style, yet they get fortification doctrine with mg bunkers and pak43 while soviets dont even have bunkers

That is the opposite of how OKW is supposed to be played. OKW has the worst defensive options in the game due to lack of a capable MG, no viable emplacements outside of the Pak43, and the fact that you have no area denial outside of the Schwer HQ (which isn't super hard to destroy). Your supposed to use your trucks as spring boards to maintain constant unrelenting assaults that were your enemy down to nothing.

Unit preservation is everything; you cannot afford squad wipes at any period in the game nor can you afford armor losses. Late game power comes from the efficiency offered by 2 extra levels of Vet not invincible tanks.

Well now they say they are a bit weak in the heavy armor dept. Before they said their heavy armor dept was non-existent, so that actually implies it's going to get better.

Soviets defensive abilities come from area denial. Cheap mines and plentiful artillery.

Yeah, because USF also needs to maintain an armor advantage as well because they rely on numbers. The 50. cal isn't going to help you when panthers start rolling in.

I have a feeling that some poor Artist at Relic didnt consult anyone who knows how to play this game when he made this.

OKW early game faction? The fuck?

I find it funny that OKW is considered the most aggressive faction, when they get a giant freaking flak gun through tech. In team games, it's usually OKW bases holding the line, not the whermacht.

And it's literally the opposite in 1v1 and 2v2. I assume this info graphic was made by someone who is comparing the factions directly against each other not in the context of all of them lumped together.

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:
