Ostheer Special Unit: Sturer Emil

[Ryousan]

Many people have already proposed that...the problem is that new aniamtions and codding would be needed in order to put that idea to work because I belive there is nothing that works like in CoH

That's why I replaced it (in my concept) with a Pantherturm.
Wasn't that even you who first came up with this idea?

Nope, I never proposed a movile 88. Never since my first Ostheer concept til the latest update of it. I think it was Lord Rommel who first came up with that...

[Aouch]

Not a 88. 
A PANTHERTURM. Known also as OSTTURM.

[Ryousan]

Yes I know what it is. What im saying is that I wasnt the one who started with all the "mobile 88" stuff...

[Voop_Bakon]

Yah, mobile 88 was a discussion a while back. I still support the idea, in some form, as long as the movement speed and pack up time is slow as hell

[Venoxxis]

back to topic guys

did you know that the sturer emil had the best kill/loss radio of every tank?

Also they were in service over a very long time on the eastern front. the first vehicles was 2 years in action until it got caputred and the 2nd one for 3 years until it got destroyed by bombers!

[Ryousan]

I though the Elephant had the Best kill/lost ratio of all tank destroyers. It was 10/1.

[BurroDiablo]

Even if the other Emil had no kills, the other still had an apparent 22 kill count, making it an 11:1 ratio.

[WartyX]

What an epic-looking vehicle.

[Voop_Bakon]

What an epic-looking vehicle.

Which is exactly why it should be given to the Ostheer as a one time call in tank destroyer

[luz777]

Glad people seem to be liking the idea 

The two vehicles were dubbed "Max and Moritz" by the way, named after the characters from an old German childrens story. Which is kinda cool.

I'm not sure which one survived though.

[Ryousan]

I think it was the Max one, the one who had the 22 kills mark.

[azndudeguy93]

This is a nice idea. Since it was basically a poorly-armored tank with a big gun it would be nice to incorporate the Lock-Down ability of the Panzer Elite. It would be like a Marder III bigger brother.

really looks good
btw

"On July 7th of 1943, single Tiger tank commanded by SS-Oberscharfuehrer Franz Staudegger from 2nd Platoon of 13th Panzer Company of 1st SS Panzer Grenadier Division "LSSAH" engaged Soviet group of some 50 T-34 tanks around Psyolknee (southern sector of the Kursk salient). Staudegger used up his entire ammunition after destroying some 22 Soviet tanks, while the rest retreated. For his achievement, Franz Staudegger was awarded the Knight’s Cross."

so maybe he had better kill ratio
