Would anyone be so kind as to tell me if it is possible to construct those cannons in any other game mode, and with whom.

Ostheer Suggestions / Re: Unit suggestion thread:
« on: October 06, 2010, 12:58:11 AM »
Seriously, what's the point in creating a unit like the Gebirgsjäger you suggested?
You basicly said they're uber in close range, uber in long range (sniper), uber against tanks (disable them) and have their field guns for artillery support.  ;D
In my opinion, if the Gebirgsjäger are actually added, it should be a small infantry unit (3-4 men) which is good for long-range anti-infantry combat. Armed with scoped K98k or G43. However, they suck at close range. But I would like it even more, if this role is being taken by a foreign unit like Romanian Mountaineers or Italian Alpini. (Label them "Foreign Mountaineers" or "Southern Mountain Specialists" to avoid ppl bitching about "why isn't my country in!!111".)
No point in making nearly the complete Ostheer into a Gebirgsjäger-Korps.


Now, to my suggestion:
I know there were already suggestions to make the Ostheer mobile by giving them special halftrack-conversions to beware the recrewing-bug SU is suffering under.
For example the SdKfz 10 is the Ostheer's standard troop-transporter.
SdKfz 10/4 or /5 with 2cm FlaK38 as AA and AI-weapon, while SdKfz 10/5 with 5cm PaK38 as AT-weapon.
This vehicles where in most cases unarmored and therefore are a simple target for every attacker (take into account the PE uses the armored SdKfz 250). Of course, this would balance the mobility of the halftracks, however, they could be even faster destroyed than the paper-armor SdKfz 250 and 251.

Now, many concepts seems to include the 251, but as we all now, this thing is already part of the WH. I know it was the most common IAFV, but how about the Ostheer actually get something new?

German Forces captured many French halftrack (UNIC P107) during the Western Campaign, some of them were converted by "Commando Becker", which also created the Marder-tankdestroyer-series and other improvised armor, into SPW U304(f). There were also upgunned versions with 2cm FlaK and others.
I don't know if they served on the Eastern Front, but Becker's unit, the 21st Panzerdivision served from early 1945 till the end of the war in the East.

Well the romanians went against the germans at the end of the war, and they are not ueber (thats the spelling without the umlaut. and btw the word means over) They suck against tanks, few tanks were successfully stopped.

The Gebirgsjaeger were not just mountain troops. Look into it. Seriosuly, i hope they consider this. Grey uniforms, Eidelweiss tin badges on their caps. 
     Field guns, lots of them at first, but limited so that they have to rely on other methods. Bundeled grenades, almost no halftracks. They shot for the gas cans on the back of russian tanks, a lucky shot could cause the gas to leak into and over the engine, catching fire and stopping the tank. Hero Sergeants and officers, high HP, raises morale automatically. But htey cost a LOT of manpower (NOT popcap). Make every unit tough, but costly, simulating limited reinforcements as Wermacht intelegence fails. Special runners, cthey mark a unit, then run back to home in retreat mode, making this unit visible (enemy unit) until it is destroyed.
       Special from command tree: grant medals, iron crosses, knights crosses, raises the general stats of the soldier, and minutely for any units within range, limited number of medals available. permanant effect. "Mich oder Dich" (me or you) raises the attack and defense of units to unbelievable levels, after this runs out they imediatly retreat, a fight for survival.  A special unit could be a hero sniper, you mark some prepared positions of his, he moves in between them almost impossible to be seen. "justified actions"-  Soldiers fight against horrible attrocities commited by the Red Army (remember most soldiers had NO idea about the 'Camps').  Soldiers defend areas fiercly as the war nears their homes.  "Close quarters" Soldiers fight with their usual Karabiner's and MP-40's unless upgraded with unscoped G-43s (selbsladtgeweher model 43) or STG 44s. when they are point blank will unleash hell with shovels, knives, bayonetts, making them deadly in close quarters.  "Trench Warfare" Systems of trenches can be dug, like a double wall of sandbags, when placed inside them units will not leave until ordered but they will move within the sandbags to as close to other areas as possible.  "Fur Die Reich"  Soldiers retreating will place landmines automatically with this ability active. They will place with no ammo cost, but the mines will be 1/4 as effective, and damaging to BOTH sides, as not every soldier was aware of the mine fields other retrteatting units placed.

Hi,  the GebirgsJaeger was a group of soldiers, the "mountain hunters" or, more accuratley, mountain infantry. On the eastern front they were used very extensively by the germans, they are one major faction that characterises the eastern front. I realize "ostheer" is not a unit. The Gebirgsjaeger, Gebirgs Artillerie, (german spelligns, or close too) Field guns, snipers MG gunners, and most of all, infantry, under supplied, under manned, minimal moralled, but fighting for survival, not for Hitler, that is what their war became after the fall of Stalingrad and the massive advance of the Red Army. I'm telling you, read "Sniper on the Eastern Front" by Albrecht Wacker. It gives some great insight into the conditions these troops were in.

Ostheer Suggestions / Replace the "Ost Heer"
« on: September 23, 2010, 09:15:02 PM »
I've recently been reading a book, "sniper on the eastern front" about a German sniper. He was Joseff "Sepp" Allerberger. He was in the Gebirgsjaeger. That's mountain infantry for you non-speakers. I suggest that the "Ost Heer" is replaced with this, or maybe this can be a suppliment from the command tree. I feel that the "Gebirgsjaeger" (the e after the a is instead of an umlaut) Is a vital role, that helps describe the eastern front. Without it, I feel that this game will be severly lacking in accuracy.
