Command Tree

A distinguishing feature of Company of Heroes Online from the retail Company of Heroes is that a command tree is chosen before the game starts instead of during game play. Similar to choosing a class in other MMORPGs, as one plays with this character/army it will become more powerful unlocking new abilities that didn't exist in the original.

There are two factions: American and Wehrmacht, and each faction has three command trees to choose from. American has Infantry, Airborne, Armor, while Wehrmacht has Defensive, Blitzkrieg, and Terror. Each command tree has eight abilities, however, only five at a time can be used and only if the player has leveled up. Initially only two abilities can be used, with three more unlocking at levels 12, 20, and 30.

Furthermore, each ability has Improvement Points (IP) that can be spent on it to make that ability more powerful. Every time you level up you gain access to one IP. Furthermore you can retrain all the abilities for a certain amount of supply. Maximum level attained is 50.
