Unit suggestion thread:

[Aouch]

Of course Wehrmacht-soldiers weared long-coats in winter. 
However, gas was never used in WW2, besides one time by Polish soldiers against German soldiers.
Even if gasmasks were used a few times to hold of real thick smoke, soldiers don't run around with it if it isn't really, really necessary.

This one is kind of useless because the russians already have a sniperace call in unit but i tell it anyway.

Its a german sniperace, that can go into stealth and shoot people as a regular sniper. But(the english word for ass)!

He have an abilety called ¨Sniper fear¨.

This abilety works like this, If the german sniper ace. We can call him Major König after the movie Enemy at the gates antoganist, Major König ( big influence from him actually XD)

If Major König is in stealth mode on a enemys sector . He can activate Sniper fear. He cant move when in that stand but he can shoot or hold his fire (hold fire abilety.)
The whole sector will now be in sniper fear making the enemys infantry while moving in that sector less good in fighting because of the rumors of the legendary enemy ace in the area making them extra scared
. Also the enemy wont be reciveing any resources from that sector because nobody has the coureage to retrieve them because of the terror from the sniper ^^.

Yeah I know it may be kind of cheesy but I think it sounds kind of intressting Now as I say we already have a sniper ace and it would be kind of lame if the ostheer got one too ( but you could play enemy of the gates then ;P) but you can always maybe use just the sniper fear abilety?

@blackbishop
these are german soldiers in WW1

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.

Also they are lacking the german eagle on the ?right? chest. My guess is that they arte Ulanens.

@maxi1991 & @Werwolf
Thanks for the answer . Indeed, they looked weird for ww2 but never thought that were from ww1.

Is not like that... I wonder what use could have for ostheer, or could be a replace unit perhaps?

nice idea, but it fits better to Soviet sniper Ace.

[Sommarkatze]

Iam glad that you did like my idea ^^ But yes indeed. It fits better to the Soviet sniper ace.

CoH isn't all about realism though, now is it.

I mean, Germany didn't take their best soldiers and send them into the field in their dress uniforms with StG44's and Panzerfaust's.

Not to mention the fact that BIG IRON CROSS icons wouldn't pop above their heads when they throw nades...

[Seeme]

Soldier: I think I see Americas hiding in the bushes... Its making a big red glow...

[Pauly3]

omg the british are shining
there must be a lieutnant nearby

[GodlikeDennis]

Nor did commanders always have perfect top down views of the battlefield. Anyway, we're getting this 35 page monster off-topic.

[Seeme]

Most long topics like this usually get locked...

If this gets locked, it would be against devs' decision about the function of this thread. Until the units of the ostheer are defined or Devs say otherwise, this thread will be alive.
