Unit suggestion thread:

[stealthattack1]

hey, i just found this, its German heavy artillery, and was supposedly the mainstay of the German heavy artillery during WW2. im thinking it should be like the heavy artillery unit of the othseer, being like the soviet arty base, but for othseer. anyways, im thinking, it should either have an EXTREMELY long time to unlock/pack up, and also very slow to move, as during WW2 it was difficult to maneuver, and very slow to set up and tear down. heres a picture     URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/513/17cmr.jpg/][/URL]


And heres the wikipedia link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17_cm_Kanone_18

[Sommarkatze]

Like the Trebuchet from Age of empire? A good idea and everything but do Ostheer really need it? Not every faction is suppost to have heavy artilleri you know. Like wehr for example
( Ja ja the nebelwerfer but its kind of short range!)

Ostheer already has Wespe. And movable arty seems a bit strange . I like the idea but still.....

[stealthattack1]

 i agree that movable arty is different & the othseer doesn't need it,  but this is the suggestion thread.  ill take no offense if its a bad idea. just throwing it out there. 

[Pac-Fish]

Nothing is meant to be offensive . Just stating reasons I think it may not be 100% necessary

[stealthattack1]

i know what you mean. i just fond that picture and thought it loooked cool, so i was like, hey, why not?

[Tankbuster]

That gun blew up a lot of conscripts in its day.

[stealthattack1]

indeed it did.

[Mr.ious.Q]

Guys, i'm thinking is it possible for the SPG stug 3 to start from ausf B, which imports an  7.5 cm StuK 37 L/24 short barrel for AI and then you can have 2 options are upgrade this vehicle with out-skirt for better self-defence or up gun to 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/48 (ausf G) for AT ability. The idea came from a fact that Ostheer is having 2 heavy AT vehicle: Marder 2 and Stug 3 but lack of heavy AI (except the Luch and
 Sdk. 251/17 cuz they'll become vulnerable to the upped Zis-2s and THs so the Guard's Krak nade)

[Blackbishop]

Don't know what to say about Ostheer lacking of Heavy AI, then what's the brummbär for .

Also, you are forgetting that the Panzer III can be upgraded with a 75mm stubby gun if you haven't chosen brummbär's pool, so you can always have AI support.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Nice suggestion, a while ago, I also would have liked to see it in EF. But - you forgot that you can upgrade your Panzer III, which is available regardless of any Aussault/Support upgrades and Modernization, to have a short barreled 75mm KWK 37 which is a beast against infantry. For reference, it's the same weapon that PEs Stubby Panzer IV mounts.

I think the Stug III was the reason the Panzer III was upgunned to the Long Barreled 75mm, it reflected the Eastern Front Panzer III is getting less effective while the Stug III is more effective in killing tanks.

A sad thing for me to say, cause I love the Panzer III, for me its a cool tank. One question, since balancing is the game priority, will two Panzer III able to beat a T-34 or even a Sherman tank without losses? Or the Panzer III would be cheaper than the Stug III, also in your thoughts how much population cap a Stug III have compared to Stug IV, in my thoughts, it would be far higher, cause the Stug III now is a tank killer, not a cheap for balance assault gun.

hey here is a different idea for ostheers reward unit. what about Helicopters Germans used 2 kinds helikoptorer during the war.

Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri: a useful artillery spotting helicopter and an observation unit.

Focke Achgelis Fa 223: multiple purposes helicopter
you could use it to transport infantry and light equipment such as Kübelwagen, Flak 38, Pack 36 and Pack 40.

UPGRADES:
1: This helicopter could throw bombs or shoot with its machine gun. 2*250 kg bombs and 1*MG15

2: you could also make it so that you could use it as a mobile medical station.

These vehicles were not used in excess during the war and IIRC they probably didn't even make it out of prototype stages. Case closed.

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Yes, these were just prototypes and not everything what's in BF1942 Secret Weapons of WW2 is going to get included in EF .
