Where the British truly shine is in a balanced playstyle: using aggressive infantry such as Guards to secure territory, while relying on team weapons such as the Vickers HMG to hold them bombard enemy emplacements with your 25 Pounder, before rushing them with Stuart Light Tanks or soften up enemy vehicles with. While these vehicles still have their uses, even towards the late game, British players should recall their vehicles, reclaiming some of their original cost, in order to upgrade. Similarly, early tanks such as the 2 Pounder Valentine will quickly become outgunned against the likes of a Panzer IV. Where British players will need to be alert is in preserving their vehicles – while the Humber Armoured Car might be a menace against infantry early in the game, it cannot stand up against later light vehicles, such as the 251/17 Flak Half-Track. While some more powerful units will need to be unlocked before they can be produced, this carries less risk overall and helps keep everything streamlined.

Thanks to their simplified Tech Tree, the British Forces can choose how heavily they want to invest in each of their production buildings, without risk of constructing a building unsuitable for the opponent they're facing. Note that this faction is not as far along in development as our US Forces or the Wehrmacht, so expect many things to be subject to change. Use reliable and robust infantry to take and hold objectives, harass the enemy with versatile light vehicles, fortify with artillery and team weapons, and counterattack with massed allied armor.Ī host of new weapons, vehicles and units are being called into battle with the British Forces, along with firm favorites. The British Forces are the most well-rounded implementation of a British Faction we have seen in the Company of Heroes franchise, able to hold their own in both defense and on the attack. Despite the considerable losses of the British Expeditionary Forces at the beginning of the war, the British Forces in Italy represent an army that is on the offense, bolstered by American arms and armor. The British Forces represent the collective armies of the British Empire, called from all corners of the globe to combat tyranny in Europe under one banner. Hello folks! I'm Will (MonolithicBacon) from the Design team, here to present a very brief look at the British Forces in Company of Heroes 3! This overview won't be as in-depth as our previous posts, as much of this faction is still in development, but we can't resist showing you what we have.
