An other mod that cought my eye for company of heroes here's what it has to offer:

This mod also focuses on historically accurate facts to better improve the gameplay and to better diverse the twelve doctrines:
- the Panzer Elite is renamed to Waffen-SS, which is what they were based on;
- the Luftwaffe receives the ability to build Captured M4 Shermans;
- they also get a Stuka dive bomber call-in and the ability to build PaK 40 AT cannons;
- the Wehrmacht Defensive doctrine get a much-needed howitzer (the LeFH 18M) and the ability to build slit trenches;
- the British Glider-borne (previously Royal Commandos), get to call the unique "Cuckoo", a captured Panther G;
- the Waffen-SS Tank Destroyer doctrine can replace the Jagdpanther with a Jagdtiger (via the rewards system). It can only be called once and gains no veterancy.
- the US Armor company gets a M21 Mortar Halftrack to replace the mortar team;
- the US now get a Bazooka squad to better counter the German tanks;
- the US Infantry company can upgrade their riflemen squad to 8 men and can also choose between the M1 105mm fixed howitzer and the Priest M7 (limited to just 3 units) via the rewards system;
+ many more things!

Also, a number of critical balancing issues are resolved:
- to avoid the usual spamming of the Panther tank, the Wehrmacht must now go through one more phase: the Armoured Warfare Phase;
- the Knight's Cross Holder's are now exclusive to the Terror doctrine, since it was unfair to have both the ability to 'buy' veterancy and have an elite infantry unit;
- you can no longer build AT cannons from Field Barracks (includes both the 57mm and the PaK 38 cannon);
- since they lacked a more powerful AND armoured tank, the British Royal Engineers now get to select (via the rewards system) the Churchill "Black Prince", effectively a Churchill with a 17 pounder.
- the Royal Commandos from the glider call-in are no longer equipped with the Sten guns by default. The upgrade must be purchased separately so as to avoid commando spamming. They are also renamed to Glider-borne Infantry.
+ some more important balancing changes I can't think of right now.

A game like that looks like far too many polygons for my computer to handle. Though I may try it out when I get myself a new Desktop.

The senile infantryman at 1:20. Lulz.

Anyways, I guess you need Tales of Valor for this one? If so, unfortunately I cannot try it.

Sounds pretty cool, but I'm not sure if it will get me to reinstall Company of Heroes.
