You can only be so original in a game set in real history. What do you want from these guys? Orks and robots? ::)

New way to build units? New kind of units (LeIG 18 or the StG-44-Marksman)? New vet-system? xDDD
Let alone that they don't know how ostheer will secure territories :P.

How can we know if you dont tell
And what have that to do? no one is blaming you for not knowing it ;D.

Redesigned Nebel and Sniper. If opel that can carry troops and lock down without an upgrade isnt original, LeIG 18 or the StG-44-Marksman arent original too.
Nope, sorry but you were wrong there. If you think like this you can say american units were ripped off and the result is every other faction.

Redesigned nebel and redesigned sniper? So, how the LeIG should work? does it need to fly to be original enough :P? Should the marksman dig tunnels and surprise the enemies from above ;D? Obviously a LeIG will work as it used to in WW2, and so the marksman.

I agree with blackbishop here. Remember how similar the original armies are? Engineers/Pioneers, Snipers, Mortar, H.M.G. & A-T Teams. They are very similar.

What I want first, is using of old models of the Ammo/Fuel Opel Blitz, which is showed after the 1.0 is out. So I found out the way opel blitz becomes the sector secure.
My idea have nothing to do with the BK mod, with the ability to still get resource from isolated sectors, it's a really good advantage (a little OP) but make sense with a aggressive faction (bloodlust/maliness ability). It's not unique but different, PE and brits have unit can lockdown, but all the ways they really work is different so like the Opel Blitz. At least, me and the opel blitz tried to let they can appear in the Ostheer.
PS: Opel Blitz in BK works different (I never use it in BK mod so I'm not sure) and EF's Opel Blitz model is different too. I have nothing else to say ;D

just an idea for opel blitz what if you built a building in the sector you wanted to secure and opel blitzes (one at a time) drove from off map to the building and back again off map, once they go off map again the deliever the extra reasorces in one big chunk. But your emenies would have a chance to destroy the opel blitzes preventing you from getting the extra reasorces. This would repesent how the osheer had large supply lines and were vulerable to partizan/cammado attack.

Its unique but sounds like C+C to me :P. Also IDK if they can do that in the game b/c it might be too complicated.

It would actually be pretty cool of the Opel could work like a cheap version of the PE halftrack.  It transports troops who can also shoot out, which I think that was possible in the real war, but it is also cheaper than PE inf HT, because it has no MG attached itself.
