My rifleman squads slap sticky bombs to the Panzer’s treads, immobilizing it for the satchel charges hurled over the sandbag wall by my special forces. My riflemen get BAR automatic rifles to suppress infantry, and my commando squad’s bazookas hammer the heavy armor. My troops are in good cover, and their upgrades begin to deploy. The Panzer doesn’t overrun my sandbag position, which now wraps around the command point to form a defensive pentagon. I get ready to load a save.īut the panic subsides. My engineering teams scramble to pile sandbag walls as the Panzer lobs shells over their heads and rifle fire skips off the blasted streets. The cold grip of panic wraps around my guts and starts to squeeze. The crew is dead, killed when the western flank collapsed.
Most units in Company of Heroes are squads of multiple troops, but snipers work alone and go down fast if attacked.
Snipers are extremely useful for eliminating infantry - especially infantry pinned by combined arms fire - but you gotta watch them. As my troops rush in from the eastern flank, a sniper I had ordered up from the barracks reports for duty. For about a minute, I think I’m a genius. Unfortunately, the pause command won’t tell you when you’ve made a critical tactical error. The game does a great job of capturing how overwhelming battlefield command must be, so it’s a welcome feature. Company of Heroes 3 introduces a pause feature, allowing you to give yourself a breather and queue up orders, making the game feel like Baldur’s Gate with a WWII skin. I shift some troops off the eastern flank to support them. MGs fix troops in place so my riflemen can pick them off. He hits me right where I’m weakest: The eastern flank is down a crucial machine gun position.
