Horrible, just horrible. FIX THIS INMEDIATLY!! THIS IS A A REAL DOWNGRADE IN THE ART. COH2>COH1>COH3. SIMPLE.

I cant lie I really dig some of these portraits. The faces are kind of ugly but I feel it adds a bit of charm to your units.

Cant help but wonder what they were thinking with the stahlhelm design though, that weird shape even extends to the unit models. Trying to make them less n*zi looking?

Updated the guide with a few more portraits from the campaign.

Got to admit, I wish Captain MacKay and Sergeant Joe Conti looked a bit more like their CoH counterparts. Using Roy Hunter instead of Conti where you play as the British in missions would also make more sense but I guess they'd need to record more lines then as well.

the art design choices in this game are utterly bewildering

Those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ faces, holy crаp. Can't stop shaming and laughing at the same time

lol this like AI art ))))

I believe the Canadians were also leaked since the Ortona mission walkthrough that I remember them doing last year.

Actually, scratch that.
DAK has more refined shading as well. I don't know why they make 2 styles for 2 sets of factions in the game. It's like they have 2 art dept., one for US and wehr, the other for brits and DAK. They should settle down with one.

I meant as in I've never see them being played in vanilla.
It's more telling compared to canadians, which I never heard of being even leaked, Aussies were leaked since the Italian campaign test. It's like they are making the battlegroup with Aussies.
Comparing to the other vanilla units like riflemen or LMG commandos, the difference is pretty clear. While other portraits are reminiscent of their older, 3d model version, the style were more smudgy with lighting, like the uneven shade of color were from drops of watered paint.
Another notable one is gurkhas with shading along the cheek bone, but that one is in the game.
