was there an m10? I didn't catch that. |
Also, the setting seems later (battle of the bulge vs. Normandy) so we'll probably see some more advanced units. |
German OKW faction:
A few Units apart from Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger we already saw in the Trailer:
-King Tiger - Henschel
-Jagdpanther
-Jagdpanzer IV/70
-Hetzer
-Marder III
-Panzer III
-Hummel
-Knights cross holders
-Stormtroopers
-Volksgrenadiers
-Gebirgsjaegers
-Strosstruppen
-V1 rocket
-Fallschirmjaegers
-Hauptsturmfuehrer
-210mm Nebelwerfer
-Flak 88
-210mm Morser 18 Heavy Howitzer
-StuH 42
-Wirbelwind Flak Panzer
-Goliath
US Army
-M26 Pershing
-Sherman Jumbo
-Sherman crocodile
-Different Versions of the Shermans
-M 18 Hellcat
-M10 Wolverine Tank destroyer
-M36 "Jackson" Tank-Hunter
-M3 Lee
-Calliope
-Sherman 105 howitzer
-Rangers
-Ranger Captain
-M5 L/50 76mm Anti-Tank Gun
-155 mm Long Tom arty
-Riflemen
-Anti-Tank Team
-Airborne Rangers
-MG-Jeep
-Greyhound
That's quite the list, and I would like to see all those units, but I doubt we will, at least right away because a lot of them overlap. For example,the American faction simply doesn't need 3 tank destroyers and that's way too much infantry for the OKW. That being said, we may see many of these units eventually in doctrines, if not at the expansion's release. I'm personally hoping for a Jadgpanther for OST and an SU-100 for the Russians in some upcoming doctrine release.
Also, it's important to note that relic will probably be unwilling to copy the units from vCOH. I'm predicting that the wolverine will be replaced by the Jackson or Hellcat and the M8 will be replaced by some light armor, just to make it seem newer.

This is pure speculation, but from what I saw in the trailer it seemed the Germans were lacking in the strong multi-role armor the vCOH Wehr and the Ostheer have- no P4s, Panthers. What we saw were three vehicles that seem extremely niche- A light scout tank, a super-heavy assault gun, and a super-heavy tank-destroyer. Maybe that'll be the design for OKW- inflexible units that excel at a certain role. I really like this idea, at least for tanks. As for infantry, I'm hoping for Volks, Stormtroopers and maybe even doctrinal Falschirmjager. For the Americans,I want more tanks (different Sherman varieties, the Pershing, a light tank- maybe the Stuart) and Airborne that don't suck, which seem to be coming. |
are there any upcoming 1v1 tourneys? |
because that would be really cool. Looks like an AT doctrine for soviets and maybe some tougher infantry for the Germans |
I see some unreleased stuff up there. Urban assault Pgrens, Commissar Squad, Conscript PTRS package and a few ailities. You say this data gathering is automatic- did it get into the files and find these upcoming(?) commander abilities? |
