Eastern Front / Re: movies from the german perspective

"Ballad of a Soldier" is a really good Soviet movie. It was made during the height of the Cold War but it is actually very realistic in the portrayal of the Soviet Union during WWII. Khrushchev loved the director so much that he let him do almost whatever he wanted in film.

General Discussion / Re: Why would I use the Ostheer?

The whole point of broken gun, tracks, engine is that you need to get engineers to the damaged tank instead of just pushing a botton and driving back to base.
Youre saing that it would be fun to make sticky bombs and mines useless (vs tanks).

No what I meant was an engineer unit that had an ability to immediately fix a broken part on a vehicle. Of course I'm not saying this ability is a balanced idea, just an interesting idea loosely based on the concept of Gerry Rigging.

Outdated stuff? The Rebel Alliance?

Their fighters have SHIELDS AND HYPERDRIVES, TIE fighters and their variants don´t! How´s that outdated?

Well the X-Wing was top of the line but it was originally meant to be an Imperial fighter but the Rebels stole the plans. Almost everything else, though, that the Rebels had was outdated, Y-Wing, DF.9 anti-infantry battery, and Corellian corvette just to name a few, they used whatever they could get there hands on. But what is more important than the old stuff is the fact that The Rebels had to keep there stuff working with whatever was available. Hence keeping things together using Duct Tape.

Going back to the OS, I think a repair ability called Gerry Rig for a unit would be really cool. It wouldn't really restore health, but instead fix any broken parts such as turrets, engines, and tracks immediately.

I'm super excited because it is a new German faction. I have always loved playing the Germans in any game and having a new faction will just give me one more group of Germans to have fun with.

There are some people like me who actually prefer the older stuff.
Besides, the Eastern Front lasted much longer than the Western Front. Quite naturally, pre-'44 weapons make sense. 

I would have to agree, using old outdated stuff in war always seems to excite me, especially if that stuff has to be kept together with Duct Tape and the like. Its like the Rebals in Star Wars. Maybe the OS will have a unit that has a Gerry Rig ability.

Panzer 3 is a disguise.

Its really a tiger under a blanket

Lol, a really slimming blanket!
