Unit suggestion thread:

[Akalonor]

And if any disaggrees with the flamer ways they could ... I don't know.. NOT USE IT?

[Daiwiz]

Perhaps a doctrine is centered around flame? But I dunno.

Anybody know what the name for a Marksmanship academy is in German?

[Ost_Front_Soldat]

Scharfschützen-Schule, Sniper or Sharpshooter school.

[Daiwiz]

Thankee. Maybe that could be an upgrade?

[Ost_Front_Soldat]

I would very much like that to be implemented.

[guynumber7]

That's an idea. They did often end up utilizing flames, which is where my squad comes in. Not enough flammenwerfers? Get some gas, a plunger, a piece of rope, and a match. Anyways, I think they could very easily be made a flame company. In all the others flames play a secondary, sometimes third place role. WM you need the Kampkraft center and support upgrades to make your Flame Pios last. US you get a 3 man squad, but they are generally weak. PE have the flame nades, which is quite expensive. CW don't have any flames EXCEPT for their Royal Scots Engineers, because of the Churchill Croc. The Soviets have to choose the center doctrine (too tired to remember the name) and select the flamer upgrade, then they have to pay 50 munis to get the flamethrowers. Basically, people only use flame in small amounts, simply because it costs so much. By making a faction centered around flame you would make pyros like myself happy. Plus, flames can make a good anti-spam weapon. Suppress and flame.

Instead of this "made up plunger flamethrower" how about the militia gets the ability to use the Eintossflammenwerfer 46, a real disposable flamethrower that was actually used. IT was meant to be cheap and quickly issued, and it was disposable. I was thinking for 20  munis or something one guy would pull out the flamethrower and fire a 6 second or so burst more powerful then the regular flammenwerfer, then throw it away afterwards.

If i got you right here, making a flamethrower useable for amma is one hell of a epic idea.

just too creative man
Istead of granades, these guys can use flamethrowers for amma o_o ! good work!

I also like it, BUT
I hope the ostpioneres (probably 3 man squad that costs 200-250MP) wont be OP vs UK(flamer pio spam).
If you can make a 12 man for only 600-750MP(starting unit costs nothing and 100ammo UK would will be in big trouble.
Bren carrier could save them, but there are many ways to defeat a bren too (2 motorbikes, faust...)

So if ostpioneres will have a Eintossflammenwerfer 46 they need to be weak or very suppresable (even more than vet0 pios and panzer grenadiers)

Or maybe this weapon will be usable after an upgrade.

[Pauly3]

I agree with the disposable flammenwerfer.
But i propose it should be a bit different to vanilla flamer.
if it is fired at a spot of ground or a house, it should keep blazing for a while (like panzergrenadiers flame grenades)
It would just make it different from normal flamers.
The Disposal Flammenwerfer is a great Idea and a good example for the capabilities of aq community like this one...

yeah after a global upgrade called flame weapons at the t1 ostheer structure, ostpios can use the EIntoss, and ost grenadiers can use an incedinary rifle grenade ability, where 4 incedinary rifle grenades are fired at a target for 40 ammo.
the6 second burst would do a little more damage then a werh flamethrower, but the flames would linger for MUCH longer then the wher threower, so if they didnt move, it would hurt.

[Daiwiz]

That would be very nice. I knew about the Eissenfaust, but I couldn't remember the name and it didnt come to mind  I feel like an idiot.

Perhaps this upgrade could be for all OstPios, and my idea could be a call-in or a doctrine specific unit.

[Akalonor]

Question-What about the Lion Tank (Lowe) heres a clip of info
-Leichter Löwe – crew of five, 1000-hp engine, weight of 76 tons, 100-mm frontal armor, rear-mounted turret, 105 mm L/70 high velocity gun and a coaxial machine gun, top speed 27 km/h.
How about as a Doctrinal call-in costs about    1200 Mp with 12 pop
??(It stays just barely under 80 ton limit )

[Daiwiz]

So Akalanor, I see you are overcompensating

Might we have a picture so we can drool over it?

You want this piece of shit in the Ostheer but not the Panzer IV? This isn't the RTS version of Wolfenstein, ok? God help me.
