Unit suggestion thread:

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

but would be hell to balance I guess. Closerange + Flamethrower at the same time .

[Sommarkatze]

Yeah. Super closecombat infantry! XD
 What about they have to buy their flamethrower attachment? Doesnt the Soviets strelkys with their doctrine upgrade when they get armour and flamethrowers have ppsh41 smgs also?

Would be a fun touch to the game. As you said Diablo. Its an intresting weapon ^^


Edit: Yes ofc Walk1 ! I didnt mean pershing and them were prototypes. I meant they are units who in IRL didnt see that kind of action like they do in COH ^^

i think youre talking about sturmovie inergy, but i like the idea. again though, it would be hard to balance.

[Sommarkatze]

Thats right! Thanks stealthy!
Thank you! It doesnt hurt anyone suggesting things! (perhaps the modteam sometime regret this thread is free for all ;P)

Balance is always hard. What about they have to pay for their flamethrowers? (a high price! Its machineguns with flamethrowers ffs XD) and a totally lack of anti tank abiletys?

[neosdark]

So they would be food for anything bigger than a Jeep, okay that's actually not to hard to balance I would imagine, I'm pretty sure a single AC can take care of them.

[Blackbishop]

I don't see how that could be a balance problem either .

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

I would suggest making the flamethrower an ability which can be activated for 20 secs so they use their flamers only.

[stealthattack1]

would the ability cost anything? or just have a cooldown time?

[Pac-Fish]

It probably will cost something. A free flamethrower would just be weird . Unless Ostheer has a muni cost like SU

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Like armour piercing shells of the M1 AT Gun

[mads]

cool ide whit those Flame jäger or flame infantry.

new idear

I'd like to see Kugelblitz as a replacement unit for one of osthers Doctrine units. it should only be called in once. it should have a little bit more life than a panzer 4 and the same speed. it should have really good state against light vehicles and infantry it should have medium stats against buildings and bad state against tanks.

for an amount like 100 Munition, it should be possible to switch between armor piercings rounds and high explosive rounds armor piercing rounds best vs. tanks and light vehicles. while high explosive would be best against infantry and aircraft. high explosive rounds would seem a bit like small grenades, and work great against infantry spam.

maybe not an all-round Roling bunker as the other onetime call ins. but an incredibly strong tank against anything but tanks.
perhaps with State as.

infantry 15
small vehicles 9
tanks 3
buildings 6

of course depending on what kind of rounds it uses.

[Pac-Fish]

Ummm what is a Kugelblitz? Got a picture? And one time call in but its slightly stronger than Panzer IV health wise? Seems... weird? IDK may I need to see this thing b4 I jump to conclusions. And IDK about other ppl but it sounds like a brummbar to me  . And 100 mni to switch shells is alot

[mads]

The Flakpanzer IV Kugelblitz is an anti air, anti infantry tank like the Wirbelwind and the Ostwind. Only about 5 prototypes where built.

Don't know how to post pictures so I give you a link.

[dragonmith]

Wasn't it mentioned that no prototypes would be involved? (I'd be sad if it was, that tank looks cool to have)

and thinking of close combat, shotguns? Maybe on the builders, or as a buy for around 15-20 munitions (maybe)

[Blackbishop]

IMO will be great as reward unit .
