Company of Heroes: Best American Tanks

In Company of Heroes, taking down German tanks is a crucial objective in many missions. One such mission is retaking Stalingrad, where you'll need to use your Shock Troops wisely and try to keep them alive. To aid in completing this mission, utilize grenades, smoke, and flanking tactics.

One essential ability at your disposal is Transfer Orders, which allows you to retreat the crew of a howitzer and free up population capacity. This comes in handy when you've built or captured an immobile howitzer that can no longer reach the front lines. You can also use Transfer Orders to remove any unit from your army.

As you progress through the campaign, you may find yourself unable to build more units or reinforce squads due to reaching your population cap. In such situations, use the ability to dispatch these squads, which will trigger a message saying 'Order 227 enacted! Commissar dispatched to HQ!' The Commissar will then execute any infantry squads that are retreated for the next 60 seconds.

Advancing further into the map, you'll notice that the spawn points of free squads will move closer to the front lines. This allows you to conserve manpower and keep your fighting units at the forefront instead of retreating them to base to reinforce. Use this ability to reinforce weapon crews, veteran infantry squads, and expensive-to-reinforce squads like Guards Rifle Infantry and Shock Troopers.

The free squads you receive all have the Merge ability, which enables you to combine them with your existing squads. Additionally, you'll be able to call in Penal Battalions that come equipped with better rifles, can throw explosive satchel charges, and may be upgraded with flamethrowers. As you gain experience during the mission, these will be replaced by Frontoviki squads that can be upgraded with PPSh submachine guns.

In most missions throughout the campaign, you'll have the option to call in infantry squads for free. With proper strategy and utilization of your abilities, you'll be well on your way to completing this mission and advancing through the Company of Heroes campaign.
