Ostheer vision by Unreal

[Unr3aL]

My Ostheer ideas (buildings,units, some ideas and ideas which I like)
Hi all. I have some ideas for Ostheer start. I used American model of buildings on start to differ Ostheer from Wehrmacht which looks like a lot of versions. Wermacht is during the playing forced to play go-slow tactic on start and Ostheer surely attacks on the beginning of war, isn't it?

Ostheer should be on start aimed more likely on attack based game but, because was number od reds underestimate, the units weren't much numerous. Once they reached to Stalingrad, Leningrad and Moscow they must aimed on fight in cities and then aimed to defense.

veterancy system
I have two suggestions.
1. Units gain veterancy by fight. Accordingly if gain it on enemy territory, own or neutral they give veterancy bonus. Own- health bonus, neutral- visual range, health recharging, faster moves, enemy- damage bonus.
2. Units have only one grade of veterancy, it takes a long time to reach it but if unit gains veterancy, it's worth it.

HQ
sturmpioneers
squad of 3

sturmpioneers can build base structures, capture territories and after research defensive structures(sand bags, barbed wire, bunkers, mines, tank traps, pak 40 emplacement-something like British at)
upgrades: after research can be upgraded on flamethrower and mine detector
abilities: -

urban combat(requires t1 or t2)
sturmpioneers can build sand bags, barbed wire and bunker. sturmpioneers can be upgraded on flamethrower and mine detector. Unlocks t3
defence combat(requires urban combat research)
sturmpioneers can build mines, at emplacements and tank traps.
Unlocks t4

Historical foundation (facts)
Ostheer didn't assumed that it would have to defend itself. So that's why of defend structures should be made available only with switch to next phases.

field barracks
attack squad
squad of 4
4*mp40
can capture territories
upgrades: -
abilities: after research throw grenade, throw at grenade
kubelwagen
can´t fight, can´t capture territories, good for recon,cheap
upgrades: command vehicle
abilities: after upgrade on command vehicle can call light artillery strike
researches:
at grenades (attack squad can throw at grenade)
grenades (attack squad can throw grenade)   
rearmament (attack squad gets stg 44)

Ostheer units were in the beginning resolved to fight, equipped with guns purposed on attack. However Ostheer underestimate Russians so that units aren't much numerous.

A tier 3 unit. Sniper officer can motivate troops, have a semi-automatic G43 rifle with ZF4 scope but don’t have camouflage like other snipers.
Ability 1: Motivate. Give a bonus of speed and health to one infantry squad.

researches:
manpower supply
mg34, 50mm mortar and elite shooter team get third men

Ostheer proceeded quite fast so it needs mobile, lighter units.
