Unit suggestion thread:

[Aouch]

We know that StuG III was an essential part of the historical Wehrmacht at the east but we had to keep gameplay in mind when we create a new faction. So when Ostheer had no place for unit x or unit y they wont be part of Ostheer.

Exactly.
Though I first agreed with converting Pz3 into Stug3 at first, I now came to the conclusion that it makes no sense at all.
Pz3 and Stug3 are two totally different vehicles, additionally only about 157 were actually converted. Therefore it wasn't common at all.

What should devs write as feedback for u? [...] Before presentation we wont say this unit is part or isnt part.

That being said, the discussion about these two vehicles was already done, no need to revive it and start an endless "discussion". 

However, I'm still curious if it's possible to make a "Carrier-unit" with a donkey? (Coding and animation-wise?)

Elite Squad with M38 Gasmasks and Trenchcoats, just for the awesome-factor.

'For the awesome-factor' I would personally rather see a "Heroes of Stalingrad"-unit with really battle-hardened soldiers, wielding MP40s and PPSch-41s. Make them look like some really bad-asses and there you've got 'the awesome-factor' plus it would be a dozen times more believable.

I think 2 Hero Squads are Enough.

[Spieel]

If you want "Hero" squads go play Coh:O, I hear there's Hero squads there.

[Aouch]

My suggestion wasn't 100% serious. 
I just said it because a Nazi-Space-Ranger-Lookalike Mr.Someguy suggested is even more stupid.

Something like "Stalingrad-Veterans" I could see as part of a campaign, but even as a reward-unit it would maybe be too much.

@ Seeme: 2 Heroe units?     What did you mean with that?

Knight Cross?

[Spieel]

@ Aouch; will have a better reply when I'm sober, but sorry, didn't get the it the first time.
Also Knight cross is also the only "Hero" type unit I can think off.

Uhh, they really had troops in Gas Masks, and on the Eastern Front, many troops wore long coats because it was cold.

Well, I don't know if they are from EF but...

@blackbishop

i agree. the larger Stahlhelms and slightly pudgier field uniforms are a dead giveaway. What's more, gas-masks weren't commonly worn at all by the Wehrmacht in WW2... commanders on all sides were already too hesitant to employ biological warfare by then.   

[cephalos]

remember that gas mask is not only useful when comes to chemical warfare. it can give protection ie. smoke from burning vehicles, or poisonus gas from explosions, or very unhealthy air.

I think we should have this for the Ostheer!



Donkey Troops!!

[cephalos]

in the squad of 12 of them.
