Detailed walkthrough for Company of Heroes Mission 14, including strategies for capturing points, defeating the Tiger Ace, and earning the Legion of Merit medal by destroying 20 Axis vehicles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Select the vehicle command to unlock Pershing heavy tanks, capable of engaging Tigers.
  2. 2
    Build up your base. Send rifle squads to capture the fuel point on the right, supported by a Pershing. Keep your Sherman at the base and build an AT gun for defense against the Ace.
  3. 3
    Capture the fuel point and construct a forward barracks. Deploy an AT tank to this location and have engineers build an MG emplacement.
  4. 4
    Build a halftrack for base completion and train a sniper for scouting. Prepare to assault the munition point near your base, which is heavily defended. The Tiger Ace will move in once you attack this point. Rifle squads should prioritize eliminating infantry with Panzerschrecks and acquiring bazookas.
  5. 5
    To earn the medal, destroy 20 Axis vehicles. Use two Pershings to engage and bait the Tiger Ace, while engineer squads repair them. Avoid losing your only Pershing until a replacement is available, as it's the only unit that can withstand the Ace's punishment. The Ace typically retreats when heavily damaged (10-15%) or after a set time.
  6. 6
    Points are usually heavily defended. The general tactic is to lead with a Pershing, supported by rifle squads and a Sherman, with engineers keeping the Pershing repaired. Rotate damaged Pershings to the back.
  7. 7
    Exploit AI pathing issues: if your tanks are lined up, maneuver them so one tank blocks the path of an attacking enemy tank, causing friendly fire.
  8. 8
    With two Pershings, you can rush forward, cause damage, and then retreat for repairs. Focus on infantry and light vehicles. Pull back when facing AT guns or when the Ace approaches.
  9. 9
    Destroy 20 vehicles and the Tiger Ace. The medal is earned if the Ace is your 20th kill, but there are ample vehicles available, including trucks and halftracks moving on the retreat path.
Tips
  • Pershing heavy tanks are crucial for this mission, capable of going toe-to-toe with Tigers.
  • Use engineers to keep your Pershings alive during engagements with the Tiger Ace.
  • The Tiger Ace will retreat if damaged significantly (10-15%) or after a certain duration.
  • Prioritize capturing fuel and munition points early in the mission.
  • Equipping rifle squads with bazookas significantly increases their effectiveness against armored targets.
  • Be aware of the AI's tendency to hit its own units; use this to your advantage.
  • Medal Earned: Legion of Merit
