They are often supported by unarmed vehicles specializing in logistics, and together these groups can carry out all sorts of unconventional warfare. In addition, the Panzer Elite rely on small infantry teams known as Panzer Grenadiers, which are highly versatile and well-trained though small in numbers, to perform virtually all infantry-related duties on the battlefield. Mobility and cunning are their most important assets. As a result, the Panzer Elite rely on fast attacks meant to rapidly cripple the enemy, and are expected to keep going despite the heavy losses incurred in the process. However, most of these units are lightly-armored as well, and are usually very vulnerable to enemy fire. The majority of these vehicles punch well above their weight, capable of doing grievous harm to enemy units. The Panzer Elite army consists primarily of light, fast vehicles. A few Panzer Elite units appear as part of the various SS Panzer Divisions featured as the opponents in the British Liberation of Caen campaign.īasic Force Composition Panzer Elite Units

In the Panzer Elite single-player campaign, the "Kampfgruppe Lehr" unit (thus named after its inspiration, the Kampfgruppe and Panzer Lehr divisions of the Wehrmacht) struggles to prevent British and American forces from attaining control of a series of bridges in Holland during Operation Market Garden. They can potentially field some of the most powerful units in the entire game, or boost their defensive capabilities to match those of other factions. With their varied Command Tree abilities, the Panzer Elite can rely on support from the Luftwaffe (the German air-arm), concentrate on improving their own spectacular anti-vehicle capabilities, or improve their subversion of battlefield assets.
This allows each unit to specialize in the tasks it is most needed to perform, giving additional flexibility to an already flexible fighting force. Panzer Elite units gain Veterancy through combat action, and have the option to invest this in either Defensive bonuses (to increase speed and survivability) or Offensive bonuses (to increase firing rate and accuracy). Their limited infantry is initially very poor, but can be upgraded to become one of the best infantry forces in the game - and is expected to work closely with the Panzer Elite vehicle fleet. With virtually no defensive measures, the Panzer Elite are expected to constantly be on the offensive, keeping their enemies off-balance and manipulating battlefield assets to their advantage (or to the enemy's detriment). The Panzer Elite force consists primarily of fast-moving light and medium vehicles, which provide it with flexible defensive and offensive capabilities. It is primarily inspired by the mish-mash of German units that opposed the Allied forces during Operation Market Garden, including the 2nd SS Panzer Corps and the Luftwaffe's Fallschirmjäger divisions. The Panzer Elite faction is a representation of a generic Panzergrenadier (mechanized Infantry) division, such as were fielded by both the German army (the Wehrmacht) and the notorious Waffen SS. Together with the Wehrmacht, they strive to repel the Allied invasion of France to protect Nazi-Occupied Europe from being overrun. 2.6 Tactic-specific Units and StructuresĬompany of Heroes: Opposing Fronts introduced a new Axis faction known as the Panzer Elite.
