Special Abilities / Powers?

[ryukikass]

Hi, just started playing (into 3rd training mission). My question is are there special abilities w/ units (ie. an Officer/General provides special capabilities like further recon/view abilities or more hit points for planes or tanks, etc.). Or are there special units like Commandos that go in and sabotage enemy equipment that affect mobility, loss of ammo?

This question is prompted from the fact that I've played (and still playing) Panzer Tactics on the Nintendo DS (NDS) and that game is awesome and has all those features. The obvious gripe about that game is the smaller screen but it's just as deep!

Every unit in your 'core' force, meaning the units you take with you each scenario in a campaign can get up to 3 hero's (depending on how much kills they have made).
Every hero can give bonusses to some of their abilities, most of the time it's +1 to +3 to attack or defense but also movement, range (artillery), spotting, initiative etc. Some bonusses are fixed to +1 for example for movement or range.

Some units also have special 'traits' for example pioniere/engineers can ignore entrechments and para's do extra damage against forts.
Strategic Bombers will surpress the enemy and reduce their ammo.

Is there a complete list of hero abilities?

Is there a complete list of hero traits?

Dunno if there's a complete list of all possible heroes. Here's some info though:
