Ostheer Vehicle Poll

[Versedhorison]

I'd like to see a konigstiger with a Henchell turret so it therefore has more health than a porche turreted konigstiger but is more expensive.

[hgghg4]

when I put KT on the list it wasn't turret specific

[Versedhorison]

I know, either way I'd like to see more king tigers in the game personally though if it were to be in with the ostheer using the other turret is an idea.

[hgghg4]

in all honesty the KT in the game now is 79 tons of rolling fail

[Venoxxis]

I dont think another KT is needed ingame.
Its just a huge fortress of steel.

i would probably prefer Tiger I's instead, for the reason mobility
and originality of the Wehrmacht.

[Paciat]

I think Panzer 2 is a must, it is unique and i haven seen before.

Unikue? It has a Puma/PE AC gun.
Use T-90 if you like midgame MG tanks.

+1
Or an Elephant.

There are so many posts like "I want a KT, only better"
or I want a 6 man MP44 squad
or I want a howitser that can direct fire and bombard.

For all of those who think like that:
play Battle of the Bulge mod.

In German service the panzer 38(t) was used as a substitute for the Panzer III.

maybe the Panzer 38(t) should be a reward vehicle for Panzer III its upon the player what he choose...

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

Panzer 38 t as reward unit for an Panzer III 

I thinks that isnt a good idea:
Panzer 38 t is a light tank and
the Panzer III is a medium tank.
The Panzer 38 t had reached his
maximal potential ( in 1938! ) with its 3,7cm KwK.
The Panzer III was upgraded till 1943
with better armor and new main weapon.
Panzer 38 t could deal with light soviet tanks
and was a good recon tank but in comparison
with Panzer III of the year 1942 ( 5cm KwK )
he cant fight any longer at the battlefield in
first front line.

Here are my choices and the reasoning behind them,

Panzer3, Good support tank, fast, cheapish, not so good vs. other tanks, maybe a upgrade with side armor,

Panther, it’s the Eastern Front deal with it, Jk perhaps a upgrade with side armor and top MG,

Ferdinand, why? Each axis army has their own super heavy tank, Wher has King Tiger, PE has the Jagdpanther, the Ostheer should have their own, and like the armies it would be one time call-in, k?

Marder 2, maybe a little cheaper than the 3rd version, like wise weaker in terms of damage, health and sight radius,

StuG 3, widely used, good main gun & front armor, upgrades with side armor and Mg, perhaps an armor piecing ability like American AT gun,

Jagdpanzer, Unique unit, better than the StuG 3 in terms of both damage and armor, perhaps a call-in unit like the Hetzer,     

Wespe, Think Hummel but smaller and weaker, in terms of damage, armor, and range, in would be a call-in unit, like the Katyusha,

10.5cm Howitzer, this unit would be literally an exact copy of the American 105 Howitzer, 3 men, very vulnerable, easy to capture, has great range and accuracy, now to make it different than its American counterpart, it could have better accuracy than the 105 but not fire as many shells,

PzIII, panther, Ferdinand, Marder, StugIII, Jagdpanzer. There probably will be a buildable Tiger I too. Thats a lot of medium/heavy armor.
If youll have a Jagdpanzer and Ferdinand in an armor doctrine it will look like a PE tank hunter tactic.

The topic is "How should look Ostheer in order to be original..."
My answer is:
1. No Panthers or PzIV.
2. PzIII, StugIII and JagdpanzerIV will take the role of
medium tanks.
3. Buildeble Tiger I(One on the field limit) 750MP/180fuel. It will need to work with a doctrinal Ferdinand, JagdpanzerIVs or PzIII rearshooting to defeat a IS-2 spam.

Wespe is a 10.5cm mobile Howitzer. Thereis no need for a static one.
But a 7.5cm light non-doctrinal Howitzer that can move like a nebelwerfer is a good idea.

In ways yes though It's still useful in other ways. Plus I like it lots personally. Also it's 69 tons.

I don't see the Panzer 38t replacing a panzer III.

[hgghg4]

we where both wrong 75 tons

[guynumber7]

Yeah but PZ2 gun would  be better vs armor then puma gun, and it would be a fast TANK versus a fast armored car.

i also kind of think Panzer 1 could be in as an early game call im, it has has 2 mg's which do heavy damage and supression, and is mostly immune to bullets, but a single hand grenade would totally blow it up.

[Versedhorison]

sorry I'm getting metric and imperial measurements of weight mixed up. It's 69 Tonnes so yea 75 tons. 

[Raider217]

Alot of the suggestions and concerns are about tanks what about the smaller vehicles like the Kubelwagen, Sdkfz 10 as the prime transport, Sdkfz 4 as rocket artillery or Sdkfz 232 (early version of the Puma) the ostheer cant just be tanks
