Kamikaza this is the Ostheer unit suggestion thread. And those units are unnecessary as they wouldn't have much value in the current balance.

Sorry buddy, but he's right on the balance issue. The Lee was replaced by the Sherman and the Valentine by the Churchill in British service. Suggest the Sherman V, sure, but the Lee and Valentine are horribly outdated unless you're fighting in N Africa or something.

There's an unused (or maybe used in campaign, I'm not sure) German howitzer assigned to the Wehrmacht faction. It is not buildable or usable in Multiplayer, however it is fully functional and is already modeled, textured, and animated. It can be accessed via playing it in Worldbuilder, or spawning it in Cheatmod. Since the Allies have such plentiful access to Artillery, with the Axis having only one piece (Hummel), I was going to simply suggest that this unit be made available to the Ostheer in some way. It would be a waste not to use it!

Hello :D

As little comment from newcomer, I was suprised that mod was this good.


As for OstHeer, have you thought about "looted" T-34 for Germans? Would bring nice addition ;)


And definitly Pz38(t) as reward. Would be like T-70 so it could be also nice addition.

Won't happen, we already have lots of tanks for Ostheer.

Pz38(t) is already in Ostheer :P.

There's still a little chance of it appearing in one of the campaigns ;)

Well, good I think. Althought T-34 could have been awesome.


Edit: Oh wait, I meaned T-34 as reward unit as replacement for PzIII.

If we are talking about reward units for Ostheer I would like to see the PzIV as a reward for PzIII. It could start out as a model D and be upgradeable to model G or H.

How would that reward be different to the PanzerIII? Or in different words: What alternative gameplay would the reward offer, but keeping its role as a medium tank?

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

A Captured T-34 as a reward unit to the Panzer III would be nice too, but it would be non-upgradeable. Thus you would have a stronger base tank, but it would lack specialization, unlike the Panzer III which is weaker but has specialization. It may just work I think.
