At least m3 stuart help british for the harvest time during the war. And british tanker also love it so mich as a nick name "honey" it gave british as the command tank during africa and italy campaign. And they all have same armorment as 37mm antitank gun, but differnt engine. Well glad to see stuart back to commnwealth forces. Stuart family really did a great effort to Uk from africa to across the rhine.
i guess soviet will be dlc, i just want to see japan, its been 3 games and still we dont have pacific theatee dlc, it would be great using bob sempler tank as early vehicles
To anyone feeling disappointed with COH3 at the moment, just remember that it's exactly the reason why Relic have released a pre alpha a year away from completion. They want this game to be good, and we're lucky enough to be able to give early feedback.
TBF I have heard the "give them time" argument before I know their is still a lot of time for them, but that's not to say that the games direction and mechanics have not already been planned.
Thanks to Warthunder, this almost useless factoid in my brain bugged the hell out of me. SUPER HAPPY they implemented it correctly! Reversing it will be an interesting challenge, I hope it doesn't get ignored in the competitive scene because microing the Archer is a huge pain in the ass.
I'm really hoping they're gonna be making the Archer historically accurate, but I wouldn't be surprised if they'd keep 'm like this for gameplay purposes
Relic also is making Age of Empires 4 with Essence Engine 5.0.. I think they are making CoH3 with same engine, graphics are so similar.. Im happy with new CoH3 game and thnx for u Hans 👌

I really love how they let the pre-alpha be playable by anybody! I hope they really take the suggestions to heart. The thing I most love is how the map in RTS battles are more zoomed out now so you can command and see more units :)
I'm really loving the alpha, basically everything I loved about the US DLC involving sub missions and the total war style campaign map Some aspects are unweildy but it's an alpha so no worries The combat itself is awesome, lots of quality of life changes like base building being innate and not requiring units, kind of red alert style, and movement feels more responsive for sure The blended armies of both factions is awesome too I totally understand why they chose Med instead of pacific so you can still use all the units, Pacific is almost exclusively infantry, and allies would be OP with their armor since the aged Japanese tanks that were great in the 30s couldn't hold up
Yeah, the Pacific is basically a tale of the Japanese first chasing the Allies off without much of a fight, and then the Allies trying to retake territory, as the Japanese fight tooth and nail for every centimeter. For the Allies, transporting armies between all those tiny islands, with all their supplies, was an amazing feat of logistics, but from the ground fighting perspective, it´s really boring. The only noteworthy thing about it are the war crimes comitted by the Japanese, which have largely been forgotten by the world.
@@jirkazalabak1514 thank you. So many people here a routine for a pacific theater, when on an infantry standpoint, it really isn’t that interesting at all.
Not a history buffs but just want to share my thoughts, the japanese had a few medium tanks (experimental?) that are built by the end of the war that havent seen action or scrapped which might not be historically accurate but could be put in the game for gameplay purposes just like bf1, or they could balance the faction by having exclusive mechanics to them or something just like in Rising storm 2 where the vietnamese could use tunnels while the americans have helicopters.
A Pacific DLC would be pretty awesome if it was asymmetrical and each side had different options, like the ability to lay more traps and hidden emplacements, have a banzai melee charge for Japanese units and then have better tech and artillery for the America units
Im very hyped, when i saw that Company of Heroes 3 was announced i was very excited, i recently tried the Alpha and it truly feels like a CoH BUT they still have to polish in my opinion, graphics, interface, menus, optimization its obvious it is a PRE ALPHA they still have much remains to be done and please bring in the ITALIAN army if we are going to fight in Italy and North Africa there must be Italians.
Holy moly! The Black Prince is here?! Can’t wait to get my hands on it! That’s the best Heavy Armor with a superb main gun for high dmg & penetration. For sure, that’ll be difficult to beat & very effective against the finest German Armor. I really want to see a King Tiger on a 1v1 with the Black Prince.
It's gonna be very very slow tho unless the devs took into account the rumors that the black prince was gonna have the meteor engine which would have made it faster than all the other Churchill tanks at least.
Most of these same tanks but different are due to the earlier year, that's why most have little baby 2 pounders or 37mm guns :P And that would explain the OPness of the archer's 17 pounder gun, a gun that was excellent for late war, would just absolutely dominate the earlier tank designs of the mid-war.
Was same time (1943) elefant was deployed to the eastern front and then sent to Italy to intercept allies. Would be awesome to get some of the firepower of late war in it’s first iterations
@@konstantinoskeremidis1517 sounds like that will be the balance. Allies get a 2 shot tank destroyer, and so do the axis. No doubt however, the elephant will be much more expensive and tankier thou. Will be painful to lose.
@@templar684 maybe it acts as a normal vehicule but the Reverse speed Is superior to the front speed. Just so that you can reliably press the Reverse button to disengage as any other vehicule
Because it would be confussing/ annoying to press U and then your base to disengage your cromwell but then only having to press your base (without U) to disengage the archer
I love the game for being like COH1 yet I just hope that every faction has a unique playstyle just like in COH2. I personally enjoy the defensive gameplay of british factions and US forces early aggressive infantry.
Thanks for this video. Its good to see a variety of interesting units. It does sound peculiar a truck known as 'cwt'. I'm sure Relic realise that 'cwt' is not a type of truck but a measure of weight, cwt is abbreviation for 'hundredweight' and so would indicate the approximate load carrying capacity. I think the truck is likely modelled on a Bedford type. Archer was a tank destroyer built on the chassis of the Valentine tank. Interestingly the gun faced backwards and so had to be reversed into position. It would have been great for 'shoot and scoot' tactics but were it not that Valentine was rather slow! It did have the very powerful 17 pounder anti-tank gun however. Also and incidentally, Churchill Black Prince was a development prototype started in 1943. Eventually a handful were built between 43-45 but never went into service.
Thanks for the showcase mate. I’m wondering if they are moving away from the commanders playstyle and making all solutions non-doc. Maybe some of these units become locked behind trees in multiplayer- awesome to see so much variery and NO FORTIFICATIONS
For new viewers please note that this video is over 1 year old and from the Alpha version of the game. I plan to do new faction overview videos once the game is fully released. :)
Do point out Hans that both the Valentine and Archer are gone, which is odd, causs the Archer could really power up the British AT since they're kinda underpowered atmm
hopefully the brits get stuff like the Crusader and M3 Lee for the Africa portion of the game. More excited for that than the Mediterranean setting to be completely honest.
Honestly the basis for the game is pretty good I'm just glad that relic is actually wanting to get feedback from players since this is coming out long away in a year and a half
I hope the British faction gets an overhaul to be more interesting tech wise; right now the Americans have really cool tech and options in their infantry/tanks/planes building choices, while the british have the really clunky, mutually exclusive and not very fun unlock system with only 3 buildings... their tech tree is boring and slow. Outside of missing the Grant tank for North Africa however, I'm really happy with the units displayed this time (except maybe the black prince; seems crazy having a prototype over the comet or a cruiser tank). A firefly wouldn't be amiss either, but that is very normandy.
Who cares as long as you have fun. I used to be hella competitive but nowadays I just wanna have fun and enjoy these amazing games. Not gonna lie I’m still a tryhard but no worries if I lose. Three games are addictive as hell. So glad to see a coh3 :)
The bishop, valentine, and archer are all mounted on the same chassis therefor should all be the same size. Kinda weird seeing the archer make the valentine look small when they are almost the same tank.
Hi there, Brazil Expeditionary Force did a pretty well job in Italy, specially in Monte Cassino. Is it possible to have a special Unit in COH3? What about the Commanders? Will have it in the game? Thanks for your videos.
Glad to see british back old fashion coh1 style.(just sadly haven't see the emplacement yet(some old mg nest motorpit etc) As the british sad we dont have command mobile truck. But the british finally can be aggresive on offensive. As the vehicle can show british really like light mobile vehicle like light vihicles and tank. We also see some iconic tank like infantry support tank "valentine" and some variant of the valentine family like archer SPG and bishop SPG and the icon is from coh1 Europe at war mod. Looks like relic also take notes on classic coh1 mod. And hope we can see grant (british version m3Lee(turret with extra radio) ) and cruasders in africa campaign. The last problem i think is the A43 chirchill plackprince. Kinda surprise the tank only served on the late ww2 (even dont have actions as the M26 pershing) will appears in Italy.
Really hope that this is a sign that the multiplayer British faction will finally cast aside the gimmicks and sim city to be a more competitive faction.
If u lost with a sim city player u are just a noob... Sorry but this is just a tactic like bunker spam...and brits have the best allied tank of coh2...
@@giovannicasano9795 My point is that sim city is an example of a gimmick Relics gives to the British faction in every COH game. Whether or not I lose to sim city is besides the point. I'm just hoping that since the British are going to be one of the "base-game" factions for COH3, Relic won't feel inclined to give it gimmicks like sim city or mobile truck HQs to differentiate them from the base-game factions. (Base-game factions in COH1 being the US and original Wehrmacht, and base-game factions for COH2 being the Soviets and Ostheer) I have nothing against making the DLC factions different and unique, but assuming the base-game factions will include the British forces, this will be the first time Relic can design the British as a generic vanilla faction with few gimmicks.
@@Dunkerque351 I'd admittedly like to have the HQ trucks; but not having half the British "design budget", so to speak, eaten by stationary platforms would be great.
I hope that they will put as much attention to the sound design and voices in coh3 as they did in coh1. It was really outstanding. Also they should use native voice actors for all factions, not just us & brits.
I guess the British faction will get even stronger. I only hope that they fixed the AI for Archer tank so it can move reversed because it's faster. The *Black Prince* tank or A43 has more or less same thickness as Churchill VII, but it has 17 pounder anti-tank gun so the firepower is better. Unfortunately, it only exist as prototype and later abandoned because Firefly has better performance. *Archer* tank is a destroyer tank that build based on Valentine tank chassis and also mounted 17 pounder anti-tank gun. It has unique characteristic that the gun is faced the rear of the tank, so after it fired the gun, Archer can move away to prevent being counter attacked.
I wish they add the feature that when a tank is heavy engine damaged or its tracks completely desteoyed and can nit move then infantry with breach capability can also breach the tank and throw grenade inside and destroy the tank completely like in saving private ryan but the risk or penalty for that will be like in coh2 where engineers dies quickly when they are underfire while repairing so the player still have a chance to save the tank. Sorry my english is not so good
Good to see that they have removed the brittish ability that trucks can turn into buildings. That was what I hated most about the previous versions of the game. CoH1 vanilla (before the brittish/panzer expansion) is yet one of the best RTS ever created.
I`m testing the alpha version too and my game doesn't look wih the same quality that Hans has in the video. Specifically the antialiasing but i cant set it on the settings section in the game. Do you know something about it? Thanks for the review Hans!
Where are the aussies? I swear I saw aus infantry models in a trailer, indicative by their hats. I may be wrong though. Surely they can't do Tobruk without aussies
It just shouldn't be in the game, like now it's BP tomorrow it's Maus then it's super Pershing, I wanted 1943 gamplay ,for example axis should mostly use panzer4 and panzer 3 for their medium tank with tiger 1 being super expensive and rare heavy tank cause unlike panther or KT it actually saw combat in Italy and North Africa. And then we have BP that never saw combat let alone seeing combat in Italy 1943.
@@farinay9994 if they are gonna use prototype tanks for factions then that would allow them to introduce the Japanese faction into the game with tanks that can actually hold their own against the allies tanks like the Chi-To. Otherwise it's pointless to add japanese in because they don't really have much to counter armor with.
Definitely. Given that the Soviets did the majority of the fighting against Germany, it´s unforgivable to make a WW2 game and not include them. Also, their tanks are cool, with their big guns and slanted armor. They could make a late war campaign, starting with the Battle of the Seelow Heights, and end it with the capture of Berlin.
I wonder whether they will improve the movement of the camera. Moving it via the mouse is extremely slow in COH 3, (for some reason) and the additional option of moving it via pressing in the mouse wheel seems extremely odd to me (that is also extremely clunky.) I don't know why they just don't implement WASD, like so many other games.
Hey can I ask what are your specs for your gaming pc , to see if I’m able to try out the pre alpha company of heroes 3, also I’ve been knowing this franchise since 2006 , I got told by a mate, who said there was a Xbox 360 game called outfit , who same creators of COH did the same game, then opposing front, then tales of valor superb, in every way
In this one called "Medium tank". A Light tank Chaffee can easily kill a Pz4 if you able to shoot Pz4 first and make a good maneuver. Light tank Chaffee cost 50fuel, while Medium Sherman cost 60fuel. Light & Medium in Coh3 seems not much different.
Where is the Cromwell, Comet, Firefly, Centaur tanks from CoH2? The only tank in both games is the Churchill. Question is: do these tanks and armored vehicles predate those from coh2 or these are better? Were those from coh2 from 44' D day? So basically those were the pinnacle of the british army? I also don't see the AEC car. And why do the brits have the Stuart? Isn't it an American tank?
All those tanks were produced in 1944, this game is taking a bewildering stance by only adding vehicles from 1943 or prior since that's the time period this game is set in. Incredibly disappointing. Hopefully, the final game will include the full stretch of the war and not just this period. Brits used the Sherman and Stuart tanks via Lend Lease from the Americans. They used many American vehicles, ships, and aircraft during the war.
Do we have any information if this game will be as microtransaction intensive as COH2? (Having to pay for multiple commanders, factions and "perks", for instance)
@@sleepnaught Yeah if they are bringing "what if" tank to the game i dont mind though (also Pershing for US), also Churchill Black Prince was not in combat at that year, if Relic want they also will bring Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger, Ferdinand/Elefant for German.

@@Dunkerque351 I'd admittedly like to have the HQ trucks; but not having half the British "design budget", so to speak, eaten by stationary platforms would be great.
I hope that they will put as much attention to the sound design and voices in coh3 as they did in coh1. It was really outstanding. Also they should use native voice actors for all factions, not just us & brits.
I guess the British faction will get even stronger. I only hope that they fixed the AI for Archer tank so it can move reversed because it's faster.
The *Black Prince* tank or A43 has more or less same thickness as Churchill VII, but it has 17 pounder anti-tank gun so the firepower is better. Unfortunately, it only exist as prototype and later abandoned because Firefly has better performance.
*Archer* tank is a destroyer tank that build based on Valentine tank chassis and also mounted 17 pounder anti-tank gun. It has unique characteristic that the gun is faced the rear of the tank, so after it fired the gun, Archer can move away to prevent being counter attacked.
With the lights turning on now when a building is producing. That was in Coh 1 and it looked better too.
I wish they add the feature that when a tank is heavy engine damaged or its tracks completely desteoyed and can nit move then infantry with breach capability can also breach the tank and throw grenade inside and destroy the tank completely like in saving private ryan but the risk or penalty for that will be like in coh2 where engineers dies quickly when they are underfire while repairing so the player still have a chance to save the tank. Sorry my english is not so good
Hope it has decent skirmish
I see That the icons are still COH2 👀👀👀
Pre alpha, they are just placeholders
I somehow thought the blackprince Churchill was the Centurion blackprince at first-
oh snap, you can change the position of the unit icons back to the top?? Fuck yeah!
the armored vehicles looks like toys from my childhood
Any idea on release date estimate? ( I'm guessing a long way off)
I think they said minimum late 2022? This is basically a tech demo to show the general idea of the game.
@@cameronwilson3060 Nice one matey, cheers!
Holy shit, the Bloody Black Prince?
Good to see that they have removed the brittish ability that trucks can turn into buildings. That was what I hated most about the previous versions of the game. CoH1 vanilla (before the brittish/panzer expansion) is yet one of the best RTS ever created.
I just hope there's finally a non-German Axis faction.
Maybe Italians but it sounds like the campaign is going to take place after the Italians turned on the germans.
@@christianwilson5956 At the end of the trailer they are clearly teasing a North Africa theater, so it might be possible.
@@christianwilson5956 then if lelic is really trying we probably can get 2 faction that based on 1943 italy, Mussolini's and Badoglio's
I wonder about the guy who decided to put a 17-pounder AT gun on a Churchill. What was he thinking?
it is a good idea but it was too late.
british trucks are like lego games
I`m testing the alpha version too and my game doesn't look wih the same quality that Hans has in the video. Specifically the antialiasing but i cant set it on the settings section in the game. Do you know something about it?
Thanks for the review Hans!
Where are the aussies? I swear I saw aus infantry models in a trailer, indicative by their hats. I may be wrong though. Surely they can't do Tobruk without aussies
Great video mate
8 Years later and they still haven't moved their entire army back into that truck...
Ooooh nice a free video made by someone with passion for something XD
It would be nice that they add more vehicles, so far is not much at least for me.
The Black Prince really should be a commander specific vehicle if it's gonna be in the game at all.
It just shouldn't be in the game, like now it's BP tomorrow it's Maus then it's super Pershing, I wanted 1943 gamplay ,for example axis should mostly use panzer4 and panzer 3 for their medium tank with tiger 1 being super expensive and rare heavy tank cause unlike panther or KT it actually saw combat in Italy and North Africa. And then we have BP that never saw combat let alone seeing combat in Italy 1943.
@@farinay9994 if they are gonna use prototype tanks for factions then that would allow them to introduce the Japanese faction into the game with tanks that can actually hold their own against the allies tanks like the Chi-To. Otherwise it's pointless to add japanese in because they don't really have much to counter armor with.
@@sisigs4820 I think I misunderstood me I'm totally against using prototype tanks
RIP archer and valentine
I hope they change the tier's buttons position. It looks like we will have more difficult to access it than in CoH2.
I'd still like to see an Eastern front DLC for this game.
Definitely. Given that the Soviets did the majority of the fighting against Germany, it´s unforgivable to make a WW2 game and not include them. Also, their tanks are cool, with their big guns and slanted armor. They could make a late war campaign, starting with the Battle of the Seelow Heights, and end it with the capture of Berlin.
@@jirkazalabak1514 Nobody wants to see the soviets winning
@@peterhurst4717 Why? They did the majority of the fighting, so it´s only fair for them to claim their prize.
@@jirkazalabak1514 unfortunately, EA didnt agree with you (Battlefield V)
@@jirkazalabak1514 who cares, stalin was just as bad as hitler
lol that carrier looks like fuckin toy car
omg I like wwii tanks and cnc games and wanted to make a game like this and how in the hell have I not seen company of heroes
I wonder whether they will improve the movement of the camera. Moving it via the mouse is extremely slow in COH 3, (for some reason) and the additional option of moving it via pressing in the mouse wheel seems extremely odd to me (that is also extremely clunky.) I don't know why they just don't implement WASD, like so many other games.
Black Prince: 6 prototype built.
World Of Tanks here we go again...
I mean besides the low budget mobile game UI it seems cool :D
For some reason, COH 3 reminds me of the pc game “army men” in tones of color. I hope it becomes more dark and dirty and less like toy soldiers ☺️
Army men total conversion mod when?
Hey can I ask what are your specs for your gaming pc , to see if I’m able to try out the pre alpha company of heroes 3, also I’ve been knowing this franchise since 2006 , I got told by a mate, who said there was a Xbox 360 game called outfit , who same creators of COH did the same game, then opposing front, then tales of valor superb, in every way
Will you be a doing a video on your thoughts about the alpha?
I hope they add Italy Japan and even France as well
Thanks Hans.
Just one thing: you don’t have to shout. Maybe your headphones? Like talking with earplugs makes you talk really loud.
It's always the headphones
Hard to determine how loud a person speak when their ear get covered just to make sure they don't mumble their words
The valentine is so op atm, I was playing earlier and took out a panther with 2… and it’s six pop cap…
In this one called "Medium tank".
A Light tank Chaffee can easily kill a Pz4 if you able to shoot Pz4 first and make a good maneuver. Light tank Chaffee cost 50fuel, while Medium Sherman cost 60fuel. Light & Medium in Coh3 seems not much different.
i rly love these grafics
the churchil black prince was only ever a prototype. never saw combat as only 6 were made. seems a weird choice.
I hope under the British tree we can see some Canadian, Free Polish, New Zealand, South African stuff... Might be a long shot but would be cool.
Where is the Cromwell, Comet, Firefly, Centaur tanks from CoH2? The only tank in both games is the Churchill. Question is: do these tanks and armored vehicles predate those from coh2 or these are better? Were those from coh2 from 44' D day? So basically those were the pinnacle of the british army? I also don't see the AEC car. And why do the brits have the Stuart? Isn't it an American tank?
All those tanks were produced in 1944, this game is taking a bewildering stance by only adding vehicles from 1943 or prior since that's the time period this game is set in. Incredibly disappointing. Hopefully, the final game will include the full stretch of the war and not just this period.
Brits used the Sherman and Stuart tanks via Lend Lease from the Americans. They used many American vehicles, ships, and aircraft during the war.
Are you primarily on twitch now?
Do we have any information if this game will be as microtransaction intensive as COH2? (Having to pay for multiple commanders, factions and "perks", for instance)
i love it.
They bringing Churchill Black Prince but yet no Sherman Firefly, Cromwell and Comet tank? I hope more contents to come
This game is sadly set in 1943, those were all produced in 1944.
@@sleepnaught Well, and the Black Prince was never operational.
@@jorelemes Yeah, their logic doesn't make sense. But, that's clearly what theyre going for. Mostly just 1943 tanks.
@@sleepnaught Yeah if they are bringing "what if" tank to the game i dont mind though (also Pershing for US), also Churchill Black Prince was not in combat at that year, if Relic want they also will bring Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger, Ferdinand/Elefant for German.
@@rezaruki3912 They should. I want the Churchill Crocodile in the game badly.
I'm gonna say it. The Dingo is cute.
Battlefield 5 RTS hell yeah
If the Black Prince is anything like it is in Hearts of Iron then it will wipe the floor with anything else.
I know they’re somewhat OP, but Brits are my favorite faction by a mile. Soviets are second.
