_______________________________________________________________


Major Changes:

  • Gameplay has been divided into three battle stages:

    1. Battle Stage I (BS1) emphasizes on infantry, light armor, artillery and building defenses for the next stages.
    2. Battle Stage II (BS2) revolves around medium tanks and medium assault guns. Off-map bombardment abilities will be available to destroy the enemy forces.
    3. Battle Stage III (BS3) is the final battle stage, unleash formidable heavy tanks and heavy assault guns. Powerful off-map bombardment abilities will be available to decimate the enemy forces.

  • All factions have been reworked from scratch. However, no faction is ridiculously overpowered. You can enjoy and win games, whichever army you choose, although they all have different play styles as reflected by History.

  • Destruction animations for the environment have been enhanced, which makes the game more immersive.


  • All buildings have been reworked, especially ambient buildings can now withstand more damage without collapsing.

  • All units have been reworked for game balance with some inspiration from WW2 history, but game balance is the priority.


  • Player can directly control the army's veterancy and economy by using a new base building known as "Supply Yard". It is available for all factions.

  • Many new units have been added, e.g. Sherman Jumbo, T30 Heavy Assault Tank, British Churchill A43 'Black Prince', Panzer IV Ausf. F1, SU-100, 25 Pounder, Knights Cross Holders, Snipers and Vehicle Recovery Half-tracks for all factions, Concrete Bunker, Pantherturm, New Hull Down animations for British and OKW, Trench Network and Concrete Blast Wall for all factions, Tank Riders for USA and Soviets etc.


  • All commanders and their respective abilities have been reworked.

  • Certain commander abilities (e.g. heavy tanks, artillery & air support) can be unlocked through upgrades from the base buildings.


  • Tanks are powerful, but without infantry support you cannot dominate the battlefield.

  • Halftracks can heal troops, repair vehicles and can be set as forward retreat points. In addition, special vehicle recovery halftracks can recover destroyed vehicles for all factions.


  • All support units (including at-guns, and light infantry support guns) can retreat. Moreover, all core infantry units can sprint.

  • All support units (including at-guns, light infantry support guns, mortars, and immobile heavy artillery guns) can camouflage.


  • All heavy artillery units have been reworked. They have longer ranges, longer barrages and more suppression, but cost munitions.

  • Most On-map Artillery shells and rockets (Launched from units on map) can cause criticals to enemy vehicles. Therefore, a well-placed barrage from a self-propelled gun can bring an entire armored assault to its knees!


  • Numerous defensive structures have been added to all factions. Tank traps and other barricades can now be built without commander abilities.

  • New Skins have been added for certain units which are unable to use custom skins.


  • Demolition charges are available for all factions, they can kill masses of infantry, destroy bridges and buildings alike, and also cause criticals to vehicles.

  • In addition to killing infantry, Goliaths can also destroy bridges and buildings, and inflict criticals to vehicles.


  • Weapon Racks have been added to all factions.

  • More than 300 custom icons have been added for the new abilities and units.


  • AI has been tweaked to give an intense and challenging experience.

  • For further description please check the Change Notes.

A big thank you for work, definitely the best mod for CoH 2 :)
MDCCC 26 Aug @ 12:05am 
Great mod honestly, I'd wager it being a best contender for COh2 mods. As Wikinger isn't good mod. Only good thing wikinger has is the tank combat, by which even that is bias for the allied side. But atleast in wikinger, the IS-2 can actually 1 shot tanks.

Outside of that, spearhead has it's ups and downs, decent for pvp, alot of special units that are nice, but there's also a very noticeable allied bias there and equally soviet tanks way under perform.

This mod, has a high damage for infantry, thats good, whilst having a vanilla but good tank damage output. If one loves vanilla and is tired of the other mods, this is a very well place thats like vanilla, but better.

One downside I have to say, is the US M8 Stuart is unfair and annoying in pvp/ pve. It's ability to fire on the move rapidly as a howitzer on and on and on and the mobility means you can never really run it down with other tanks. Which makes gameplay very annoying.

The best mod! No kidding, this is the only mod that is on par with Spearhead, but even surpasses it! He's not as hardcore as spearhead, but he gives you a lot of opportunities, which is just phenomenal! Dear developers, you are unlikely to answer me, but thank you for your hard work!

I wish this was on CoH 3, most of my CoH 2 playtime was with this mod.
Ivan Kalashnikov 3 May, 2023 @ 6:44pm

Best mod I have ever played. Btw are there any info on all the commanders changes? Example UK lend lease commander is totally reworked.

This makes the game much more enjoyable.
