SECRET UNITS in Company of Heroes 3 

I expect to have Australian focused battlegroup, just like we have it with the Indians and Italians, they'll probably do more of these, i like that.

I think the 76 Sherman is just the upgraded Sherman the US get already. I notice in the post game stats that upgraded Shermans are called the ‘M4A1(76)’.

I’m so happy to see the commonwealth being brought into CoH

I was hoping for Polish troops to remember the battle of Monte Cassino. But these seem great overall!

Really looking forward to the Aussies and Canadians. Probably a Commonwealth battlegroup

The Commonwealth Forces is more like the CoH2 Soviet faction in Italy, pretty neat.

The Nashorn, the Canadian Shock Troops and some of the other units are in the Italian Campaign. Not exactly secret Hans :P

Would be cool if you can tow the light howitzers to avoid counter battery

2:43 the LeFH 18 currently uses the American M2A1 howitzer model. Hopefully they change the model before its released.

I really hope for the future of CoH3 that we will get a Oberkommando Nord/North with german + finnish mixed troops vs. Soviet troops of the Northern Front.

The removal of the Archer from regular skirmish/multiplayer games was such a downer for me especially since the "late-game" AT of choice is the clunky-ass towed 17-pdr (unless you go for the 1-time Churchill BP). The Archer was great in the campaign so I hope they add it back through a Battlegroup or something.

You can find things like the Nashorn/Archer in Campaign, I even used a recovery vehicle in the german campaign to get an Archer for myself. I figure many of these will become doctrinal units eventually once roles are found for them that would work for MP

Super excited to see the Nashorn! I hope it gets added to a battlegroup soon. Would prefer this one way more over the Marder III xD Also hope to see the Wespe's "bigger brother" the Hummel added.

Canadians being represented with an assault unit is very fitting for the Italian setting - they did some very serious urban fighting throughout the campaign.

I like how the explosive audinance doesn't automatically destroy green cover with every shot. It was a big pet peeve for me through all the cohs

The stuart and the sherman I think are just suppose to be campaign things, because you can call the stuart while playing as american forces in the campaign but you can also train shermans as the british in campaign

Soo what happened to US rangers ? They had a portrait in coh 3 they revealed it they would become a detachment in the italian campaign but they got cut last minute again

That reload animation of the Nash is clean.

I’m also baffled that the Aussy and Canucks portrait looks so good meanwhile vehicles get reused coh2 assets? Like the M24 literally reuses the Valentine icon.

hans you can get the 76 mm sherman from the armor support center its the 4th upgrade

76 Sherman is in game already. When you get the MSC and upgrade to the 76mm Sherman, the Sherman's say "76mm Sherman" when you click them.

Cool stuff! I hope that in future expansions relic makes coh3 the biggest game yet by adding a new campaign and the two missing factions... Russians and Panzer Elite! And some cool doctrines like the RAF with the SAS units using silenced guns and camouflage and demolition tactics like in Coh1! This game has so much potential... We just need to get vehicle camouflages soon as the plain colors are probably one of the things that make ppl complain about the "looks" of the game.

The churchill crocodile stars in one of the Italian campaign missions, and is absolutely as ludicrous as you said. That's also where the British Shermans come from, both british companies have them as their medium tanks along with the churchill heavies

In the italian campaign there's italian partisan units. Wonder if those will be included later in a wholly italian faction (which im guessing could be a pivot faction that could represent either fascist italy or the italian resistance).

The Nashorn is such a cool TD, a glass cannon to the max. 88mm Pak 43 (same as Jagdpanther/Elefant/Tiger 2) on a Panzer 4 Chassis with a grand total of 15mm of Armour for the Crew lol Meant to be an ambush tank obviously but Allied Air Dominance towards the end of the war was a massive issue due to the large size of it compared to an AT Gun or Jagdpanzer/Marder. The Canadian Shocks troops are quite interesting, sort of like the Panzer Elite Assualt Troops from CoH1 but with less Mid-Range viability. I didn't see in this Vid when you used it but does the Archer drive forwards with the gun facing towards the enemy or does it drive backwards like in real life? The gun actually faces the back of the tank which makes it a bit wonky unless you're already setup and then it's easy to shoot and the pull-back. And yes you're correct about the Valentine. In CoH 2 it was the Valentine MK. XI with the 75mm found on the Cromwell and Churchill VII whereas here's it's the MK. II with the 2pdr which is the same as on the Matilda, should be a faster RoF with less Pen and Damage. The primary difference with the Easy 8 and the other 76 is the Hull and Suspension. The other 76 is a Cast-Hull M4A1 76 so it should have less Armour and less speed than the Easy 8 which is an M4A3.

Happy to see the mortar bunker return from Coh1

The Nashorn would be a one hit Sherman Killer. The Sherman is ridiculous tough anyway in this game. The Allies get buffed like hell.

yeah, the dark green is Brits in Italy campaign. Their tank line is Valentine, Sherman, Archer. The emplacement arty and bofors can be built in combat if you unlock them. The Canadians and Australians show up as non-playable allies or enemies. In a sense, Relic could technically use the Italy campaign green Brits, cobble together the leftover units, get a little creative, with dash of inspiration from previous games and just outright create a new army with minimal effort. Maybe release it alongside a fleshed out Axis Italian army that everyone seems to want. Mind you, releasing a 1944 faction alongside the Italians...

They actually showed off the mortar bunker in the trailers. I was so confused, I thought it was just a mortar squad garrisoned in a bunker, but I guess not

In CoH 2 they added in nations later on. I wonder if we will see the French added in the 3rd one. (As in Free French forces) Or something silly. I still hope they go full on crazy with expansions and give a short pacific campaign. Adding in US marines. Maybe even Chinese to the allies or Mongolian/soviet. Of course that would have to come with some Japanese but would also open up for things like the Manchurian forces and the Russian Imperial force that existed within that. Lower tech when it comes to equipment but with the possibility of some fun or interesting abilities.

The E8 has the wrong suspension. I think some people already complained about that in the Beta.

Ive only played the italian campaign, but the canadian infantry, archer and valentine are in it

Don't forget the Wehrmacht also have their own Bergsalieri squad but modelled on the Blackshirts . And a Guastatori squad but with MP40s .

You can find alot of the brit units here in the DAK campaign. Its annoying cause Archers are the bane of DAK armor and emplacements are literaly immune to artillery or mortars.

I Hope they will add Polish battlegroup. Polish troops took over Monte Casino.

I thought DAK was supposed to have access to the Sturmpanzer Bison II

Wouldn‘t think that Daniel Craig would be in a Canadian Shock Troop Section

There was a command Valentine in the Campaign which gained access to call in base artillery.

Happy to see some Canadian representation, our contribution to WW2 isn’t talked about enough.

MAN THOSE COMMONWEALTH SQUADS ARE LIT

The mortar bunker was already shown in the Wehrmacht Sizzle trailer.

These units might also just be campaign exclusive AI units, or just assets used for gameplay cinematics.

You missed the SAS Commandos, they are all white outfits and only appear in the Campaign mission pinatare maggiore when you are using the Indian Artillery Battle Group as the reinforcements at the end of the match.

I wish these units were more available, If you look in the screenshots for the game on the steam page you can see them. One unit that’s in the screenshots looks like a French unit of some kind for the afrika korps.

Hey Nashorn = Rhinoceros ^^ ... Keep the good content going

I think all this units will be include on future battlegroups

I hope they add more Canadian units. It's disappointing that there are no Canadians liberating Italy. edit: (more)

Are the Canadian shock troops playable in the campaign

I hope they add m18 achilles for UKF and m4a3e2 jumbo

I hope we get the SAS in the game

The Wehrmacht also have the DAK's recovery half-track as well but in grey and with their own crew.

Future DLC units, how lucky they are already in the game

Knowing they went to early/midwar over late war makes me hope this game gets proper modding capabilities. I want to go up against the 105 mm Gun Motor Carriage T95 and the British Tortoise (so much cooler than the Black Prince) so friggin bad.

Nashorn means Rhino I believe :)

I hate the fact the Archer drives normaly while reversing haha

Lot of the british units are in the Africa Campaign already which is quite interesting.

The mortar bunker was used in the italian campaign

Also missing is the dak bision 1

GAZZA! FUCKIN DROP EM!

I saw most of these units in the two campaigns

Hoping they release those canadian shock troops and australian light troops 🙏

Really need some voices and sound fx from band of brothers.

Maybe no one cares but I'd love to see the 442nd added to the Americans in some way. They are the most Decorated unit the Americans have and were mostly involved in the Italian front. Just a squad or something atleast!

The Australian light infantry show up in the north african campaign

A lot of these units are used in the Italian campaign

The Geneva convention exists partly because of Canadian brutality in WW1. Canadian soldiers did not take any prisoners. We were ruthless

I'm bummed the Canadians didn't say "out" the way Canadians say it. I feel like that was intentional for some reason.

It's Nas Horn, like nose horn

excited to see some of these units in action. do you know when they will be available?

0:16 for a liste of Hans' games :D

Doesnt the archer tank have a peculiar setup where the cannon is basicly pointing to the rear of the tank and it "reverses" faster than it goes in the direction of the cannon? I wonder if its like that ingame.

Canadians and aussies are comming, now all we need are South Africans and New zealanders and we have a commonwealth deck

Has anyone else noticed that you no longer have your barrel damaged and unable to fire and thalat tracking doesn't work? I've not had a single tank be tracked or lose the ability to fire. Pretty sure they had that in coh2

A lot of these are in the single player (italian one) I'm noticing.

A single shot of the Pak 43 can unalive all the crew with ease... shermans dont have the armor to withsand that kind of rounds let alone 2 or 3 (srry for any spelling errors english its not my first languaje)

Lmao they used the wrong model for the Easy Eight, it’s using the old VVSS instead of HVSS, the thing that actually makes it an E8.

I’m still waiting to see the Italian Coastal Reserve infantry.

Is the Archer's reverse speed faser than forward speed?

Hey Hans let me explain to you what is the difference between these 2 Shermans in the US. M4A3 Easy 8 Sherman has a "sharp" armor which is a rolled one and is more durable than the curvy cast armor of the M4A1. That flat front of the 8 also doesn't have those weak spots in the hull at sides as the A1 has. So by logic M4A3E8 should have more durability than the M4A1 but we will see how the developers make it.

all units do exist in campaing probaly that's why is in cheat mod but yeah someday they going do to add for mp for battlegroups so only for mp serect units ha... and also at singleplayer there are all units from vid but some of them are only ai and for specifing missions objective units like officer (and there is more "secret units" only for singleplayer at which only for singleplayer are made like rail way arty you can crew that in singelplayer for one mission (italy campaing) edit velentine tank is pity good vs all targets (even vs pz 4 and i think it can take down tiger aswell but idk ) probaly reason why they want to make for battlegroup instead as stranded brit tank

I wish the crocodile was in the game.

Hans, i just played some skirmish matches against CPU, and playing as the Afrika Korps, how do you access the Tiger Tank?

still waiting for a proper Italian Faction

So, when do we expect these units to be added in? the first dlc?

9:59 Wow! German soldiers doing the Mexican Wave :DD

Be advised hans the campaign is still spiked with bugs

I think the Archer need reverse movement, cause the guns facing backward.

The Australian Digger🦘 will fit amazing in the multiplayer mode

It would be cool to see Brazilians with the US.

Why does the Pak43 need armor piercing? COH2 have 1000 armor pen.

That Nashorn 8.8cm is kinda... weak.

Nashorn you can translate to Rhino 🦏

maybe german officer is just story mode unit

Sad that we have more units in the campagin and not in MP

last of sherman tanks ...not one of those are easy eight ...they are just constructed in differ year...cast hull and another welded hull ..easy eight has hvss suspension

its called cutting content out of the game to sell as DLC

The nashhorn is not a secret it’s one the campaign

Can you make a video on your overall thoughts on the game?

It's pronounced Nas-Horn (Rhinoceros). Nas(e)=Nose, Horn=Same as in english, horn of an animal.^^

I gotta say I love coh making more of an effort to show some of the smaller ethnic groups and nations that contributed to the war. other ww 2 games feel so bland by comparison.
