Ostheer Suggestion- comrade2012

Here is my Ostheer suggestion. Some of the names are a bit boring but that can be changed. I did this a litle bit at a time, thats why it is on a document.

good work at prices and as some units are what I proposed, i can't dislike :-)   but the spaerhead makes a full tank army possible ...
_the panzerwerfer seams too cheap ... move and spam :-(
_ the flampanzer has a gun smaller ? the PE hetzer is nullified
_  your 88 too is better than the werhm ...
experience ? well that's so important ...
I see more patchwork units than integrated system but that's a good try

pleeeease criticize or comment my ostheer try

My friend for what seems to be your first try its not bad, but i have to agree with what Vietlord said. Also you need to have AA weapons as part of your base tech tree. The only group that doesn't have some kind of base tree AA weapon is the PE but they have the Flaks in their bases so (supposedly) they don't need them.

Another thing i like is that you used a lot of ideas from quite a few people (me included as it seems). Mixing and matching ideas is very good but you should avoid things that are TOO similar to the existing factions such as your Bike scout.

Otherwise i got to say its looking pretty good. Keep rollin'  my friend

PE Armored cars (not a real AA weapon) fire at aircrafts but everything else is true.

Youre infantry units pop cap are also wierd.
1man is usually  1pop (not counting snipers, constripts and some wehrmacht infantry) so 4 man squad should cost 4 or 8 pop.

Youre units are similar to egsisting ones and there are too many of them. Just look at PE or UK. All they need is 2 medium tanks.

88mm Bunker is OP. Try a weaker gun.
I like the idea of buildings without crew (panther turrets) so that the no recrew bug wont affect them... just saing.

12.8cm Selbstfahrlette L/61 - "This will make the Priest look like a mortar". You allready have a Wespe call-in. (600 MP is a little too much for a vechicle on a light tank chassie). You also have SS Stormtroopers and Flampanzers to fight trenches and emplacements.
If youre making a doctrine with artillery try making it weaker (the artillery part) than the whole UK arti tech tree.
No arti call-in can be better than the Priest - Balance.
Hummel fires only 4 shells and has no MG becouse of balance (becouse PE can boobytrap, disable points).
Callipolie is only good at killing infantry blobs becouse US has a Pershing AT call-in.

yea, I totally forgot about making an AA gun. but that's probably because in my own experience I hardly use them.

The reason i gave light tanks the ability to capture bases, is because a lot of times the German tanks would race ahead of the infantry in an attack, and be on there own.

One of the things I tried to do was make it very light tank based. The only reason that I made the Panther and Tiger buildable was because a lot of people want them to be.

I could also do away with the "Workers" and the "Gestapo," and just have the Combat Engineers.
