 - Lord Rommel Syndrome : Wanting heavy tanks, more
 super heavy tanks and multiple heavy tanks :) Especially
 German ones :) (But I suppose it could apply to any faction)
 
 - Comet... isn't that the Cromwell-chassis Firefly?
 (Slap a 17 pounder unto a Cromwell tank?) - Reward Unit :)
 I'm for it. It's not like it's much different from a Firefly.
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

COMET was more heavily armoured than a firefly, so owning a panther and making a match for tigers

But the Soviets aren't facing the Brits... what's unfair?

Besides, Rule #1 of this mod is 'We are not modifying the existing factions' - funnily enough, Brits are an existing faction.

everyone thinks germans were superior with armour, but they weren't it was just the way they used them, THE BEST ARMY WOULD BE BRITTISH INFANTRY, AMERICAN WEAPONS, GERMAN OFFICERS..........

Its not the same German army... the Wehrmacht in CoH are the Western Heer. They used different equiptment in the East, light tanks, early war Tanks, foreign tanks, heavy Tank destroyers, Rail Cannons, fucking Mortars the size of houses... it was a different war, and the Ostheer will be a different Army.

Oh look, a comet  :D

http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=232125


is that sarcastic or do you know anything about the COMET??
it was a heavy cruiser tank designed in 1941 to take out tigers/panthers but only got to front line in 1944. in tests it proved against captured tigers that it out gunned (17 pounder ap) and manouvered them!!  (built on cromwell chassis)

Haha, what are you on about?

Click on the blue writing, then you'll see a Comet made for Company of Heroes, download it, add it to your game, "problem" solved...  ::)

Kinda true.
but are you really thinking about picking one of these big boys?
i thought that would be impossible, because to much
model editing would be needed.

Many people are including the Rail Cannons and Morser Howitzers as support powers...

well yes, but im asking the developers, if it is possible to get this work with huge mortals like the 150mm or the 170 or even the 210mm. or maybe even the karl gerät, mortals which were used on the siege of sewastopol.
-> the propagande weapons of the eastern front.

I would like to know if it is even possible to create models like this and animations which fit pretty good.

Actually you are agreeing with you. But its true, unlike what a lot of people believe, the German armor was not superior to Allied tanks, especially to that of Brittan and France.

During the Invasion of France, the Allied tanks were superior in firepower and armor, but they lacked the overall tactics (everything that comes along with the blitzkrieg doctrine), coordination, and communication ( like how Allied tanks used flags for communication, versus the Germans had a radio in every tank) to be effective.

In fact, during the battle of Arras, Rommel was nearly killed and the SS Totenkopf Regiment was overrun because none of their weapons from either the Panzer II, Panzer III, and Panzer 38t could penetrate the British Matilda I and II tanks.

The only thing that stopped them is that Rommel ordered the divisions anti aircraft and artillery to fire their 88s and 105s point blank into the armor.

It was not until 1942-43 that the popular image of the German juggernaught armored force came to be.
