Hi guys!
First of all: Thank you for this AMAZING mod!
I downloaded the english version of COH because I really love the british accent Common Wealth units have but now of course also the VCoH Germans speak english (with German accent), which , though I think Relic made it very well, still sounds a bit strange to me as I'm German.
I really love the way you guys did it, that Ostheer units speak German and the Red Army speaks russian.
Would it be possible to maybe create some kind of reward factions for the VCoH factions which are practically the same factions but with their "natural" language voices?
Or maybe there's a better way to deal with it, I don't know... but it would be very very cool anyway.
Thank you guys already!

You can simply switch the game language by accessing steam -> library -> click on company of heroes (new steam version) -> properties.

Abuse is abuse and has to go.

When I change the language via steam of course all factions' languages change, what I actually meant is to have Germans speak german, Americans speak american english, etc.
I was wondering if there is an easier way to have that without shutting down the game and downloading the other language everytime you change the faction you want to play.
The mod the link leads to, is it working with EF?

If you mean that add-on, I guess. There is only one way to do this and it modifies the core game, which means all mods inherit this.

What you can do is find the German speech files for the Wehrmacht and simply place those in the language folder, while removing the present English Wehrmacht speech files.

Unfortunately I am unable to provide a link at the moment, but I'm sure there's a link somewhere out there- namely on GameReplays.org.



Strangely, I could never get the German Panzer Elite speech files to work for me.

I tested it and worked for me, just make sure the path where you install it is the correct one.
