Line #7 Trivia/CompanyOfHeroes


1	* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: While it's pretty much definitely a coincidence considering almost every other anti-gun in the series is also about as helpless against infantry as it, the Americans' 57mm anti-tank gun initially did not have high-explosive ammunition produced for it - in fact, high-explosive rounds for it did not get produced until after the Normandy campaign, which is where the first game takes place, making its inability to load any sort of ammunition for anti-infantry purposes technically accurate.
2	* BannedInChina: As of 26 July 2013, after the game was lambasted in Russia for "overblown fabrications of history", and "offensive and stereotypical lies about Soviet soldiers", the Russian publisher 1C-Softclub removed all retail copies from stores within that country. What really stands out is that this was done because this was demanded by regular players through a petition.
3	* ChannelHop: Thanks to the company going bankrupt, Creator/{{Sega}} took over publishing duties from Creator/{{THQ}} (along with development studio Relic Entertainment) in 2013. In 2024, Relic Entertainment was bought out by an investor to be rendered as an independent studio.
4	* DummiedOut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtKX-O7m8m0&feature=related This song]], sung by the crew of Tiger "205" from ''Tales of Valor's'' "Tiger Ace" campaign.
5	* FakeNationality: The actors for the German voice lines in ''2'' are very obviously not native, as they use the English pronunciation for a lot of German words like "Kubelwagon" (English speakers pronounce it "Ku-ble", while Germans pronounce it "Ku-bell").
6	* PromotedFanboy: ''{{VideoGame/Company of Heroes}} 3'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clUbzehoNEg was developed closely]] with a council of experienced players of ''2'' providing feedback throughout the development process. [[https://community.companyofheroes.com/coh-franchise/company-of-heroes-3/forums/1-general-discussion/threads/2247-developer-introduction-devm Some players were even directly hired to the development team.]]
7	* SequelGap:
8	** The gap between the first and the second game ran just a little shy of 7 years.
9	** The gap between ''2'' and ''3'' lasted for 10 years.
10	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Relic was initially hoping VideoGame/BrothersInArms [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151608900663610&set=a.446784548609.234395.6105043609&type=1&theater would be something they did]], but Gearbox got there first.
11	** [[https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oO90NL One artist's portfolio for Company of Heroes]] includes some promotional art, icons used for doctrines and victory pop-ups, ConceptArt of the British forces overseeing the bombing of a city...and two pieces of pin-up-style ladies wearing SexyWhateverOutfit versions of American and German World War II military uniforms. Those two pieces were obviously not actually used in the game in any way, and it's not known what they could have been intended for.
12	** The Oberkommando West faction for ''The Western Front Armies'' had greatly reduced resource gain from all territory and would have had to set up their supply trucks to gain more (clearly inspired by the Commonwealth forces of the first) early in development, but this design feature was cut and their reduced resource gain changed to be much less severe on release, and then the faction was later reworked to have no resource penalty what so ever. While they had the resource penalties, one of their supply trucks to could boost either their fuel gain at the cost of munitions or munitions gain for less fuel.
13	*** The Obersoldaten unit has a few spots in the code where the title "Honor Guard" is applied to stuff related to them (their weapons are also explicitly referred to as "waffen" in the file), and out-of-combat dialogue has some other OKW infantry units to say they're fanatics, leading some to believe the Obersoldaten may have been planned to be more explicitly some sort of elite Waffen S.S. unit, such as 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, until Relic likely figured the censors wouldn't stand it.
14	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6Plkjsx_s8 There's a set of voice lines clearly representing an African-American male]] for the United States Forces' Rear Echelon unit that was never used and never had unit models to match it.
