Also known as DAK, the Deutsches Afrika Korps are the most extreme and unorthodox army in Company of Heroes 3, being a great choice for those who like to play aggressively and keep the pressure on the enemy, benefiting from the synergy between their specialized infantry and the roster of armored vehicles.
Debuting in both single-player and multiplayer, the Afrika Korps were renowned for their prowess in the North African deserts.+
Afrika Korps players can use the Half-Track to quickly deploy troops to respond to new threats or sustain the offensive, while the versatile Panzer III is the army’s work tank.
The Armored Reserves system allows deployment of the Tiger Tank and other heavily armored options. In the harsh deserts of North Africa, the Afrika Korps also had to rely on their vehicle towing capabilities to reposition their 88mm Flak 36 anti-tank gun or to repair damaged tanks.
As with all factions in the game, the Afrika Korps come with their own variety of combat support groups to tackle unique battlefield scenarios. The Italian Guastatori, dressed in stark black uniforms, wield deadly flamethrowers to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. The Italian combined arms battle group fielded some impressive units, such as the highly effective Semovente 75/18 assault gun, the elite Bersaglieri infantry and the Carro Armato M13/40 light fast attack tank.
Company of Heroes 3 is now available for pre-order via this link. Those who purchase the launch edition will receive the Devil’s Brigade pack with Legendary skins for infantry, vehicles, and other Legendary-level cosmetics.
So, looking forward to the release?
