The Great War is a modification for Company of Heroes meant to bring the war two decades earlier. This mod focuses on the later years of the First World War. Currently the two teams will be the British Expeditionary Force against the German Empire, however with time the team will try and bring some more nations in, such as France and Austria-Hungary. This mod will focus or realism but keep the game balanced enough to make it enjoyable. Things to look for in the mod are the famous artillery strikes and the infamous gas attacks. Trenches will provide vital cover for infantry while tanks will roll over the battlefield and instil fear into the enemy troops.
In the following pictures you can see the German A7V,the British Mark IV in both male and female variants,and german captured MKIV tanks.
??? two different skins?
One for each version (male and female). You can see the weaponry is different.
Whoa...they had genders?!!?
Those are designations to differentiate the armaments fitted in the sponsons. The "male" version had two 6-pounders in the front sponsons and machine guns elsewhere, while the "female" had only machine guns.
There were also "hermaphrodite" models with a 6-pounder in one sponson and machine guns in the other.
>Whoa...they had genders?!!?
lold
weren't the germans using the balkan cross or whatever it is in the really late stages of the war?
Yes. You can see it on the second Beutepanzer in this image, and on one of the A7V. This wasn't universally applied though, and for the sake of diversity we'll keep both.
ah, fair enough
its look like the Vehicle is from the Allies,i saw that in some movie maybe in The Lost Battalion.
It's a "Beutepanzer", a captured tank being used in German service. It's the same Mk IV model you see in the two previous pictures, but in German colours. The German Imperial Army made use of about 40 captured Mk IV in the war, which is more than their own 21 A7V (counting only the battle ready ones).
will it be like real ww1 where theres no mans land and the british side and the german side and you make attacks to make them retreat or will it be like the origal coh
The original CoH is like "real WW1" as far as it concerns 1918, or to be more precise the Kaiserschlacht and the Hundred Days Offensive. Those are the particular phases of the war we're portraying.
did the germans alter the front mounted turret? Its not an mg in the mod or maybe im looking at a different tank *although i would usually recoginse this rolling toward my trench.
