Unit suggestion thread:

[Trooper425]

The captured T-34 idea is cool from the gameplay point, but is there another replacement that could be used? Maybe one that isn't in-game allready?

[Killar]

You start with a combat Support version and end with an antitank version with PzIv. PzIII starts as Antitank and ends as infantry support.

Sounds strange. How do you know PanzerIII will be like that?
Reward must be similar useful against tanks. The stubby cannon couldn´t harm medium tanks, while the PanzerIII could fight T34.

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

next to the fact that it would be just adding the pe panzer IV and let it scale to a wehrmacht panzer IV is a bit stupid

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

And the last point; Ostheer will see the Panther. So all 3 german nations have germanys best medium - one of the most popular - high symbolic - tank.
With Panzer IV u would have a second unit that is used by all 3 german factions.
One is enough and i think this linking unit (the Panthers) is the best choice.

[Mr. Someguy]

The Tiger is in all 3 as well, in some form. Wehrmacht has the Tiger, Tiger 205, and the Tiger Ace with EF, Panzer Elite has the Bergetiger (still build off the Tiger, regardless), and Ostheer will also feature the Tiger. The SdKfz 251 is also in all 3, Troop Half-Track (WM), Ammunition Half-Track (PE), and OH's many variants.

The Panthers are the most closely related though, all serving the same role as well as being the same base vehicle.   

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

i think what rommel wanted to say that all axis should have access (non doctrinal) to panthers

if the tiger is also part of the army but in a special doctrin is more or less unimportant because it requires a special doctrin

[guynumber7]

i say ass the 2.8cm SpZB 41 as a special forces at gun sort of thing. IT was used by airborne and special troops as a highly mobile but VERY effective AT gun. IT was very light and used a squeeze bore and APCNR tungsten rounds to penetrate LOTS of armor despite being small and very easy to transport.

I think the Antitank HT of PE has this weapon already

[Gounited]

Ready Maus model is in the world builder, or use it in the Ostheer?

afaik its only the wreck of maus tank and we added it just as map object for mappers

nope its a Pak36
 
This would be a spZB on a Ht
would be an idea as a reward Unit-> more Pene, higer rate of Fire, but it would lose the Concentrated Fire ability 
 
Some more ideas for reward Untis:
A Pantherturm for the Wehrmacht Defdoc 88 Flak36 
Less range but better protected
 
A sdkfz 234/4 as a reward unit for the Upguned Puma 
More pene, more dmg, but u Lose the rotating turret

[Trooper425]

If I recall correctly, the SdKfz 234/4 had a pak40. Besides being used on its original wheeled mount, he pak40 was mounted on a variety of vehicles to make: Marder, SdKfz 251/22, SdKfz 234/4. Slightly modified versions (KwK 40) were used on the panzer IV, StuG III, StuG IV, and a few JgdPz IVs. It was a common weapon an many fronts.

The traditional PaK 40 is allready set to be implimented, and the Marder(w/ soviet gun) and StuG will both be available, serving as light/medium AT vehicles. Adding yet another seems somewhat redundant.

...Oh wait, this is a suggestion for Wher, not Ost. Okay, I see no problem, and actually kinda like the idea. It could work as a replacement for the 5cm turret on the 234, or as a potential upgrade on the 251.

[Otto Halfhand]

I would like to see a 234/3 upgrade of the Puma made available. Perhaps even a choice between the 234/3 and 234/4. Reasoning At this stage of the game an AI area of effects 75mm/L24 would give a new role to the AC at a time when Armored cars are less useful against heavier armor. The upgrade option to /3 or /4 would of course allow for the greatest player flexibility.

[Mr. Someguy]

You should totally make an alternative version of the Funkwagen Vampire Halftrack that plays music when it's set up.

I actually like this suggestion . Just for fun . Obviously the music wouldn't be audible to the enemy, just to the user.
