The long-awaited Deutsches Afrikakorps, with their arsenal of mobile, mechanized weaponry and vehicles, has arrived. The Afrika Korps was infamous for their prowess in the North African deserts, and they made their debut in both single-player and multiplayer.
The Afrikakorps is the game's most radical and unconventional army. It will appeal to players who like to play aggressively and keep the pressure on the enemy, benefiting greatly from the synergy between its specialized infantry and armored vehicle roster. The Half-track can be used by Afrikakorps players to quickly deploy troops in response to new threats or to sustain the offensive, while the versatile Panzer III is the army's workhorse tank. The Armored Reserves system allows the terrifying Tiger Tank and other heavily armored options to be deployed. The Afrikakorps had to rely on their vehicle-towing capabilities in the harsh deserts of North Africa to reposition their anti-tank Flak 36 88mm cannon or repair damaged tanks.

The Afrikakorps, like all factions in Company of Heroes 3, come with their own set of supporting Battlegroups to deal with various battlefield scenarios. The Italian Guastatori, dressed in all-black uniforms, wield lethal flamethrowers to terrorize their enemies. Alternatively, you can use the Italian Combined Arms Battlegroup, which allows you to field some special units such as the highly effective Semovente da 75/18 Assault Gun, elite Bersaglieri infantry, and the quick-firing Carro Armato M13/40 Light Tank.
Company of Heroes 3 will be released on PC on February 23rd and is now available for pre-order! When you buy the Launch Edition, the Devil's Brigade DLC pack includes Legendary skins for Infantry, Vehicles, and other Legendary tier cosmetics.
