CoH2: The Unthinkable War
Prepare to enter a world teetering on the brink of complete obliteration.
What is The Unthinkable War?
CoH2: UW is a brand new alternate history conversion mod that brings you to the late 1960’s and early 1970’s in a fictional ‘Cold War Gone Hot’ scenario.
The two major coalition forces of the West and East clash violently with one another in a massive conflict, vying for control and dominance over Europe which will inevitably decide the fate of the future.
Take your side and stand to liberate or conquer Europe using five distinct armies, each with their own set of commanders. CoH2:UW aims to create a new age for the series – exploring what it would be like if Company of Heroes expanded to the new modern era – the mod attempts to emulate the aesthetic of a DLC or expansion pack.
What’s different and what’s new?
CoH2: UW modifies the gameplay, up-scaling combat with new gameplay mechanics, concepts as well as updating the setting to a more modern age.
Destroy enemy tanks using recoilless rifles teams, call upon fast-moving close air support, infiltrate the enemy using spies, conduct mechanized warfare using APCs, obliterate your enemies with powerful artillery such as SCUD Missiles and more.
The new coming-of-age warfare entails greater mobility and flexibility – your armies will be augmented with more automatic weapons with keystone icons such as the M16 and AK47 as you take advantage of the evolution of technology.
What factions are included in the mod?
Unthinkable War includes 5 factions on the European front of the war. Gone is the age of the Axis-Allies dynamic and comes to the tension between Western NATO and the Eastern Warsaw Pact.
Belligerents of NATO
The United States Armed Forces
The British Armed Forces
The West German Bundeswehr
Belligerents of Warsaw Pact
The East German National People’s Army
The Soviet Army of the USSR
Additionally – commanders featured in these doctrines can include other sub-factions such as the French and the Italians in this global conflict.
What is the doctrine system in the mod?
CoH2: UW features its own doctrine system – This means that all commander abilities have been made from scratch, specifically tuned for the mod and all commanders will be available to anyone who plays it. You do not need any DLC or vanilla commanders to access any of the content. Everything is available to you.
Following the similar style to the original Company of Heroes formula – Each commander will provide 6 distinct and unique abilities that specialize in certain tactics in warfare. Each faction upon launch of the game includes 3 commanders (15 commanders in total) – and as time goes on, additional commanders will be added overtime featuring new content and mechanics.
The Unthinkable War is a progressive conflict and follows the timeline – as time passes, so does the advent of new technologies, weapons and warfare. Commanders released after the launch of the mod will continue the time period, starting from the 1970’s and begin to contain more new weapons of the time period until we reach the 1980’s and 1990’s.
Commanders will be retrofitted with relative balance changes and mechanics overtime to keep them relevant with new commanders that will include the new types of technology.
