The Commandos in Company of Heroes are actually Air landing troops from an Airborne Division, or SAS (Special Air Service) Commandos. They were all volunteers, and well-trained for their dangerous job, and continued to act as elite ground infantry once the airborne operations were over. They landed their gliders in Coup de Main assaults on enemy positions, surprising the German defenders in risky attacks. The Air landing troops of the British Airborne were tasked with assaulting German positions prior to the D-Day landings. It makes them good against their usual counters - armored cars and light tanks. If an enemy drops a Panzershreck, pick it up with the commando squad as soon as possible.Problems with gliders landing behind your lines and commandos wrecking your day? Cover vacant fields, long roads, and other great landing spots in dragon's teeth, they will tear up the glider before the troops can spawn.Drop the Commandos near an important strategic point to capture it, or near the main base to wreck havoc in your enemies base and turn his focus.They can also be used for capping power as they can drop behind enemy lines and do not have a movement handicap when in enemy territory.This applies also to the Tetrarch Glider. Never drop the glider near the presence of a sighted Marder III or StuG as they automatically target the glider even before the Commandos exit.Commandos are good counters to enemy machine guns as they can drop outside the HMG's fire arc with gliders or can deploy smoke to make them untargetable for 7 seconds.Commandos can only be used with the Royal Commandos Doctrine.Commandos do not benefit from the presence of a Lieutenant or captain, but will still transfer earned experience.Any experiences earned from kills by infantry are transfered to nearby officers at the time of the kill, or otherwise lost forever. british units, excluding the Lieutenant, captain, and command tank, do not gain veterancy.
