...What exactly is wrong with these suggestions? (Coming from someone who doesn't know shit about history. )

Well honestly you cant tell me Nachtjagers wouldn't be cool to use I mean COME ON Nightvision MP44's! They would look bad ass.

Prototype;

Used in one battle;

Used at the very, VERY end of the war;

However bad ass it may be, that's like trying to put Horsemen into the soviet army because the Polish still had Calvary at the beginning of the war for a short period of time. I mean come on.

Besides, what would we do if there were MP44s with night vision running around on Kursk?

Well Volkssturm were basically the German equivalent of Conscripts, armed with just about anything they could find in stocks and in reserves. The Devs are against it because they don't want a carbon copy of a unit that already exists.

Nachtjagers were soldiers armed with StG44 with Vampir Infared Devices, basically the first usable night-vision scope and we won't use it because the game doesn't really have any advantages for different periods of the day and weather conditions, so not going to happen. An extra day or two of designing a model for useless equipment can be wasted better for something that will be used.

Luftschutz are useless in a game in which Ground Combat is the main emphasis, so no. (although don't scream at me if I'm thinking of the wrong Luftschutz, I have heard this name used in different contexts)

EDIT: And now i have to add more stuff to my bloody list 

EDIT 2.0: And please do look over earlier posts using the search button, I assure you most of the ideas you have might have been brought up before.

Ok if this isnt already an Idea how about this: Me 262 Rocket strike,  It would function like the P47 Strafing run but with R4M rockets?

[Killar]

Thats what the stuka is for

If I see someone who walks in sunglasses at night, I dont think hes cool, I think he belives that sunglasses will make him cool.
Same thing with using nightvision in daytime.

@DrRockzo1986
I don't think no one is laughing about your suggestions. I think all of us we have answered this topic, treated it as a legitimate suggestion.

I don't know if such units would fit for an Ostheer campaign, but ceirtanly not for normal gameplay.

Because they represent the last days of the third reich, and the Oshteer tries to represent more than that.

Besides LordRommel won't let that happen .

[DrRockzo1986]

But I was just told by a guy called Cranialwizard via a list of whats acceptable that if something is outdated it should be replaced by something more up to date.

[neosdark]

Please read that lovely list that is at the bottom of my sig. the one that says Units Devs won't add... (It's a link)

[DrRockzo1986]

I was wrong about the use of R4M rockets anyway, not sayin they werent used for ground targets but as I recall they were meant for bombers.

[Blackbishop]

I suggested that too a while ago XD... request denied.

Yeah, modernization is the upgrade that will make that possible, don't know if we could replace our stuka with one of those after the Schutzen War Camp modernization is finished, but don't give high hopes to that (because was already discarded).

[DrRockzo1986]

Well anyway Im full of ideas so stay tuned

[neosdark]

Just make sure they conform with that lovely list, the Giant Poster about unit inclusion and actually have some place in the game, not just a "I feel like it cause it sounds/looks cool" type of unit
