Army Unit Details
By Sawdor
When I first got into this game, I wanted to know details about the troops. I never found a guide though on this topic, but I have since then done research on untit details, as well as have over 600 hours in game over different pc's. Here's what I got.

Extra notes
America:
1.) The more veterancy the american units have, the more damage they do, and the more precise vehicles shoot.

British:
1.) A unit alone of rifleman has very bad attack, great defense but horrible attack. Add two Lt. to really buff their attack.

Wehrmacht:
1.) The more veterancy the Wehrmacht units have, the faster they reload and shoot.

PE:
1.) You can upgrade them either way, attack or defence.
Conclusion
1.) You may have noticed I don't have units from command trees in here, that is because I'm focusing on units you can get regardless of what command tree you go.

2.) There's a few units I left out, either becuase I didn't look into that unit of couldn't find anything on it.

3.) Some of this info may have changed due to updates and what not. (Let me know if any of it has please.)

4.) I may upload more info in the future as I learn more.

what no pictures?

I meant 'Heroic'. The only other unit in the game to have that weapon and critical type are KCH's (others can be found with their Weapon type which is linked in my other comment. Units usually have the same weapon and critical type). That's why KCH's also won't instantly die from a sniper. It doesn't matter how much HP a soldier has for a sniper, what matters is it's critical type. If it's anything other than 'Heroic', the soldier will instantly die/be made a casualty from a sniper shot no matter HP.

Actually, the Lt's only have 65 HP and the Captain 60. What makes them take multiple sniper shots are the Heroice critical and weapon [companyofheroes.fandom.com] type. Critical types aren't found on the wiki, but from digging through the files, there is a 100% change when sniped while on full or mid health, the critical that will be applied is 'soldier_sniped_still_alive'. Only when the Lt's or Captain are at low hp will they will die from snipers.

Also, I found out that its possible to equip the volksgrenadiers with STG44s, all of them can be equipped with that by spawning in the STG44 on tthe ground practically making the volksgrenadier a little bit good and better like the standard grenadier.

dont belive what the game rewards tab says when it comes to reward units some of em dont function well but some perform better than the stock units
case and point

M18 hellcat supposedly has more health than M10 at the cost of bonus armor penertraion but the thing still dies in 3 shots and its ambush abality only stacks up one shot so its a piece of garbage
(perfoms worse than stock unit)

Geschutzewagen: this can eat even the churchills for breakfast (performs better than stock unit)
