However, almost uniquely to Wehrmacht units, the Pioneers' performance in combat will almost universally be dictated by veterancy. With a large variety of abilities, Pioneers are a useful utility unit that comes at a low price to boot. Focused on close-combat and generally the troops equipped with weapons like Flamethrowers, the Pioneers could tear down soldiers as well as they could buildings.Ĭompany of Heroes presents a largely realistic view of Pioneers, being construction units with the potential to be close-combat specialists.

Tasked mostly with bridge construction and fortification demolition, the Pioneers were multi-purpose individuals who helped keep Panzers rolling forward in the early war and helped keep Infantry and AT positions entrenched in the later part of the war.ĭespite this, however, they were more combat-focused than contemporary engineering units. Due to the nature of the Wehrmacht, particular focus was given to their 'Pionere', the unsung heroes of Blitzkrieg. 2.1 Maschinenpistole 40 Sub-Machine GunĪs with every modern military, the German Army maintains a large standing force of military engineers.Brit announcer is also a chap! ' NCOs reporting that they have destroyed a German target.

Brit Lt is a Stereotypical British person speaking with Received Pronunciation and keeps calm in battle. PS: I forgot to mention Brit officers and announcer in vCoH.

But I think one of the best lines is: ' The battle is about to commence' by Sturmpioneers. PE ligh vehicle (not sure, just remember the line): It appears our commandant is a victim of some kind of nerve gas.ĬoH2: I can't chose a line really, most are great. They're like 'Ok, I'm done with this war, fuck you Hitler'.Ībuse him and he goes: Driver, fart in the radio. They really sound 'German' and they're very enthusiastic. Keep moving you bastards, they can't hit a moving target. In combat: Get that MG42 in tho aaaaaactioooooon. I started laughing like a maniac when I heard it for the first time. Man those lines are hilarious, but as you mentioned 'Stalin can suck my dick' is the funniest thing I've heard in this game.
