Company of Heroes: Back to Basics mod
Back to Basics 5.0 and Steam™
News
With utmost excitement we can finally reveal that Company of Heroes: Back to Basics is coming to Steam™️!
Back to Basics 5.0
We are also glad to announce that Back to Basics 5.0 is scheduled to be released on July 2nd, 10 am PDT (5 pm GMT, 7 pm CEST). The release will be available solely on Steam™.
Alongside overhauled factions, command trees, and plenty of other brand new content, this new version features a revised state of balance. An entirely new weapon damage model, brand new gameplay mechanics, and completely rebalanced resourcing together put further focus on strategy, tactics, proper decision making, and player skill.
AI has always been a core feature in Back to Basics, and 5.0 introduces our most advanced and complex AI yet! The result is a dynamic AI that is much more aware of the various unit class interactions, continuously trying to counter whatever the player is fielding. All-in-all, players may experience a refreshed AI battle experience, featuring 8 AI difficulties that can be challenging and unpredictable, while also being both fair and enjoyable to play against.
Lastly, the mod continues to offer full campaign compatibility. Alongside bug fixes, many of the iconic missions have been enhanced for an overall refreshed experience!

Reddit — Dive into anything
Hi, I’m avid CoH player and have enjoyed the game for years but one thing I’ve noticed for a while a lot of the sites with «guides» don’t really go beyond what’s already in the game’s menu. Replays are cool too but sometimes it’s just easier to read text.
German Units
Pioneers
-
Your basic construction unit used for making buildings, repairing vehicles, putting down emplacements, laying barbed wire and mines. In your typical game each player will generally have 1 to 3 pioneers. — With wire impassable by infantry, it’s common tactic to rush specific choke-points at the very beginning in effort to block and delay the enemy infantry.
— Two types of mines, Anti-Tank and Anti-Infantry. The AI-mines lays down 4 sets of mines forming a square shape. Expensive but effective, will damage light vehicles. Anti-Tank mines will generally put most tanks at half-health with an engine critical, still triggered by infantry. -
Pioneers are first used for building initial tier 1 buildings or capturing a specific point. Not initially used in combat. — While generally poor fighting infantry, they’re still effective when flanking weapon crews or snipers if close enough.
-
During mid-game pioneers start seeing combat more frequently as they flamethrower upgrade is enormously powerful. They can beat Conscripts but more importantly significantly damage units in buildings. — Flamethrowers are now a droppable weapon in CoH 2
-
Late-Game Pioneers are often dedicated repairing vehicles or capturing territory as casualties have mounted so significantly. — With more powerful weapons on the field, pioneer squads are frequently instantly-destroyed.
Grenadiers
-
The staple of your German forces. Used to advance and attack. Accepts multiple weapon upgrades and has multiple abilities.
-
One to Three Squads are generally built. Won’t be able to beat a single group of conscripts but will often come close. Will win if in cover or at range.
-
Best to best used in combination with MG-42 Weapon Crews.
-
MG-42 is used to surpress/pin while Grenadiers clean up.
-
Abilities and Weapons
-
The Panzerfaust is a single-use Anti-Tank weapon that will hit it’s target 95% of the time and will cause some kind of engine critical. Will nearly destroy Half-Tracks and T-70s and effective at damaging T-34s. Not effective against heavy armor.
-
Rifle Grenade — A Rifle Grenade is shot and will land in area causing damage. It takes a few second to deploy, making a distinct report when fired. Skilled players will often «dodge» the incoming grenade if aware.
Moderate damage, best used when your opponent is off-guard and units that will remain stationary, grouped together. Incredibly effective against snipers and will kill a squad with a direct hit. -
G.43 Semi-Automatic Rifles — Your squad is equipped with G.43 Rifles increasing their firepower. Very effective, will melt Engineers and Weapon Crews. Comes with an ability «interrogate» that may used on enemy casualties that will show enemy positions.
-
LMG 42 — Squad is equipped with single LMG-42. Automatically deployed, and one soldier will go prone and then fire the weapon. Outstandingly effective but does not suppress. Best used at range as the solider will need to «re-deploy» if he’s unable to target the enemy. Great improvement over the original vCoH LMG42.
-
Vulnerable to flame engineers, Penal Battalions, Anti-Infantry Infantry, Snipers, Mortars, tanks.
PanzerGrenadiers
-
Tough, hardcore soldiers. Armed with Stg44s Assault Rifles they will beat all or almost all infantry 1v1 with little damage to themselves.
The only drawback is a hefty 360mp cost. Generally one to two units are fielded. -
Bundled-Grenade ability. Excruciatingly effective with a 1 second fuse makes it nearly impossible to dodge. At the minimum will take every squad down to half-health and can even instantly destroy wounded squads. Will damage light vehicles but not recommended.
-
Panzershrecks. Trades in two Assault Rifles, lessening the Anti-Infantry ability for Anti-Tank. Outrageously effective against all light vehicles — typically destroyed in two hits. With cover and support an effective counter against T-34s. Somewhat effective against heavy armor.
-
At-risk of dropping a Panzershreck when the squad is below two men. Vulnerable to snipers, mortars and heavy tanks.
German Sniper
-
Fires a single aimed shot instantly killing a single squad member. Extremely effective against infantry, but very fragile. One man squad.
-
Constantly remains clocked until the unit is spotted or fires, like vCoH snipers.
Will then re-cloak. -
Generally seen as poor unit with Russians having larger squad sizes, but is said to shoot faster than the Russian Sniper.
Soviet Units
Enginners
-
Your basic construction unit used for making buildings, repairing vehicles, putting down emplacements, laying barbed wire and mines. In your typical game each player will generally have 1 to 3 pioneers.
-
Will beat but with casualties German Pionners.
-
Can put down passable barbed wire, will slow down infantry.
-
Lays down a single AT-Mine that does considerable damage to both infantry and tanks.
Conscripts
-
The main forces of Soviet Infantry. Somewhat mediocre but inexpensive and large 7-man squad.
-
«Oorah» ability. For a mere 5-munitions the squad gains offensive and movement speed bonuses. Good for closing the distance on units or quickly traveling across a choke point.
Does not prevent or break suppression. -
Motolov Cocktails — A single soldier will throw a incendiary device causing lasting AoE damage. Effective against units in building or infantry that’s going to remain stationary. Much like the Rifle-Grenade it’s easy to dodge if expected or heard.
-
Anti-Tank Grenade — A thrown-grenade that will (I can’t re-call) but will generally damage and provide some kind of critical. Effective counter against light-vehicles namely the flame half-track.
Guards Rifle
-
Armed with anti-tank rifles and better soldiers they’re able to beat Grenadiers but are better suited to a supporting role. Will significantly damage light vehicles while slowly damage heavier ones.
-
Has a standard thrown-grenade ability. Effective.
-
Able to upgrade to a DP-28 LMG. Gives the ability to «button» enemy vehicles causing them to slow, unable to fire and reduce vision for several seconds.
-
Won’t outright destroy tanks but if given the time will often «disable» tanks by injuring the crew or damaging the engine. Can potentially «immobilize» tanks.
-
Vulnerable to Anti-Infantry Infantry, but can still face up to Anti-Infantry vehicles such as the scout car or Ostwind if in cover.
Shock Troops
-
Excellent Anti-Infantry Infantry. Six-man squad. Able to take a beating.
-
Comes with a standard thrown-grenade and a smoke grenade.
-
The smoke grenade can be thrown in front of MGs, will prevent and or immediately break suppression.
-
PPsh Sub-MachineGun upgrade. Outrageously effective, a toss-up against StormGrenadiers.
-
No Anti-Tank ability.
Russian Sniper
-
Two-man squad, unlike vCoh. Generally, mandatory in most 1v1 games as needed to push back on superior German Infantry.
-
Only cloaked in cover.
-
Sprint ability, unit will run at full-speed for several seconds.
-
Flare. Will remove Fog of War for several seconds. Very useful in blizzards.
That’s all I have for now, I’ll continue adding more unless you guys want to help!

3DNews Software News Strategy Company of Heroes 3 strategy launches in… The most interesting in the reviews
07/12/2022 [21:02], Dmitry Rud As promised, on July 12 at 20:00 Moscow time, Sega and developer Relic Entertainment shared the latest news about their strategy in the entourage of World War II Company of Heroes 3.
Image Source: Sega As part of an exclusive broadcast from PC Gamer (linked at the bottom of the page), the creators unveiled the second campaign, announced the release date and talked about post-release plans. As it became known, in addition to the large-scale Italian operation, Company of Heroes 3 at the start will also offer to go to North Africa, where the players are waiting for the second major story campaign.
The North African operation, unlike the Italian one, will do without a dynamic map and will be completely linear in terms of structure — in the style of campaigns from previous parts of Company of Heroes. On the PC Gamer stream, the developers held a large-scale gameplay demonstration of the North African campaign and, in particular, showed a new faction — the German Afrika Korps.
As for the release date, Company of Heroes 3 will go on sale on November 17 for PC (Steam). Support for Company of Heroes 3 after release is going through seasonal updates. The developers are preparing a variety of content (regions, modes, events, challenges, add-ons, factions, etc.) and promise to deliver it regularly.
