| rdfs:comment | - Veterancy is a quality of the units of Company of Heroes. When a unit receives enough experience, its Veterancy level improves. Veterancy bestows permanent bonuses to the unit, improving its combat performance in one or more ways. Different factions have different methods of obtaining veterancy, and their units benefit differently from each Veterancy level. In fact, most unit types get different bonuses from other units types in their own army! Consult the specific articles below to see how each faction handles Veterancy for its units.
- From Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 onwards, commanders will receive the vocal announcement "unit promoted" and a sound effect when a unit gains veterancy.
- Veterancy is achieved by units as they destroy units in battle and use special abilities. Veterancy benefits units by decreasing their special ability (both offensive and defensive abilities) cool down timer, however the time it decreases varies according to unit. There are five ranks of veterancy, they vary in amount of experience a unit needs to gain to achieve the rank.

There are five ranks of veterancy, they vary in amount of experience a unit needs to gain to achieve the rank.
* Rank 5 (default): Single chevron. Standard special ability cool down time
* Rank 4: Two chevrons: Special ability cool down time reduced
* Rank 3: Single bar: Special ability cool down time reduced
* Rank 2: Two bars: Special ability cool down time reduced
* Rank 1: Gold star: Special ability cool down time reduced Although the results vary, when a unit becomes rank 1 its special ability cooldown time is less than half that of the same unit which is rank 5. The cooldown time for the special ability typically is reduced by 2 - 5 seconds each rank. So keeping veteran units alive can very much help. Repair tanks can also gain veterancy from repairing other units, so a rank 1 Repair tank is much more useful than your standard rank 5 Repair tank. Other bonuses may result because of veterancy such as damage and armor but this is unconfirmed.
