Unit suggestion thread:

Tell me, how many levels in Ostheer veterancy? In the records of games on YouTube saw that they get the fourth level, in view of an eagle over the icon squad, I got it right?

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

Tell me please, what is the opportunity and improve in Jaeger. And what is the division (where and when used during the war), I personally thought that this mountain arrows.

Jägers are based off the grossdeutschland Division from the Waffen SS. they're standard Armed with g33/40 and can be Upgraded With g43 packages which increase long range combat efficiency and enable sniper shot. 2nd upgrade is heavy tankthunter equipment which grants them 2x Panzerschreck and the ability to lay Tellermines. 3rd upgrade are stg44 for increased close combat performance.

Großdeutschland was an armored division with "elite status" but it wasnt a "Waffen-SS" Division. It was the flagship/ideal and perfect division.

Ostheer has 4 veterancy levels. The 4th vet is the "Ace vet" and you need a lot of kills to get this ace level

Out of pure curiosity, what actual unit were the Panzerfusiliers based on? I've never heard of such a German unit, except for the Panzerfusilier regiment of the Grossdeutschland division. And even then I don't even know if there was anything special with the regiment.

@dArCReAvEr
These are the Sturmfusiliers!! Jägers belong to the Gebirgsjäger Division, that's why they use the G 33/40 as standard weapon.

[ubermensche]

@Blackbishop: So you mean that the Sturmfusilliers are based on the Waffen-SS?

[Blackbishop]

@ubermensche
AFAIK Panzerfusiliers and Sturmfusiliers were based on the Großdeutschland Division, not from the SS just as @Lord Rommel said.

EDIT:
You can read more about the Großdeutschland here.

We searched for different names for the Ostheer because it would be confusing when you can recruit Panzergrenadiers with Wehrmacht, Panzergrenadiere with Panzer Elite and Panzergrenadiere with Ostheer. So terms like Panzerfüsiliere and Sturmfüsiliere - basing on the Großdeutschland-formations - were a good solution for new names and inspiration. I know that some non-german consumers will have problems with this long and complicated german words but in my opinion those new names were much better to differ between this units ingame

Remember only PE had official Panzergrenadiers, Wehr's Panzergrenadiers were called Stormtroopers .

This is especially important for teamgames, which can be mixed axis. It would be strange for shoutcasters to differ between grenadiers, panzergrenadiers and more grenadiers. The pgren - wehr gren thingy is already hard enough.

[ubermensche]

So I guess that the Ostheer is based off the Grossdeutschland division, which is suppose to be the archtypical summum of the Wehrmacht divisions?

[Kavkazets74]

Hello friends, it's me again. Tell me why on the website in the "units" are not added units Ostheer? After Ostheer left.

[majesty8]

Is there any chance of captured french tanks in the mod? (perhaps as reward units)
Flammwagen B-2(f), SdKfz 135 (and 135/1), PzKpfw 35S 739(f) were all used on the eastern front.

Keep your eyes peeled..

[SSonne]

Hei!

Will the Granatwerfer34 ever find its way back to the Ostheer?!




Every faction owns a mortar...
The new infantry gun is nice, but it is vehicle-class not soldier-class for the movement in smaller areas...

You can say the same with PE mortar units, and with CW is even worse because it is always static. Even if SU, US and Wehr have regular mortars that doesn't mean Ostheer should have one.

So, there won't be a regular mortar for Ostheer as far as I know(other than the ones you recrew).
