Company of Heroes 3is the latest title soaking up the spotlight in theRTSgenre right now.
This time the tactical strategy sandbox is taking our wartime skills to the Mediterranean fronts of Africa in WWII.
As a result, there is a lot for newcomers to digest in Relic Entertainments' latest RTS.
Especially considering the last entry in the franchise was over a decade ago.
Learn Using Tactical Pause
Company of Heroes 3includes two campaigns as well as a PvP mode.
One major reason for this is the Tactical Pause feature, which is available in single-player but not multiplayer.
This is your greatest aid in learning the ropes ofCompany of Heroes 3’sstrategic gameplay.
But, by pressing spacebar you could enable Tactical Pause, which lets you pause the game.
Essentially, you win PvP battles inCompany of Heroes 3by capturing Victory Points.
If the chain is broken or disrupted, you will not earn Munitions of Fuel from it.
Any units that are fighting out in the open will get picked apart in no time.
Especially at the points and other areas of the map under your control.
you might recall any number of selected units by pressing R (the Recall hotkey).
Many times, players will accept their losses and move on to the next plan of attack.
So, don’t count your losses, instead count on them in the next fight.
Learn Hotkeys
Speaking of Hotkeys, you’ll eventually want to add them to your skillset.
The reason is, hotkeys are much more efficient than using your mouse to command every action.
And when it comes to RTS games, speed is the ultimate key to outplaying and performing your opponent.
Slowly start adding one after the other, until you’re comfortable using a handful of them.
Then before you know it, using hotkeys to train and command units will become second nature.
Battlegroups
Battlegroups are one of the most important tips for giving beginners an advantage on the battlefield.
You unlock Battlegroups using Commander Points, which you earn passively throughout the match.
