Unit suggestion thread:

Isen´t it ironic to have the Kugelblitz who was like a prototype tank and not the Maus that everybody else asks about?

( OWH JESUS CHRIST DONT BAN ME!?</3)

Well, i don't think is ironic , Kugelblitz can be a cool unit, working like the flakpanzers do. And in the other hand we have the maus... what we can do with that piece of junk? I would prefer to have buildable pantherturms .

Pretty soon Maus is gonna get strongly associated with "fisting & insertion" for me, 'cause that's what I imagine happening to guys, who are requesting it being included. 

Sorry for following OT (it's related on IJoes fisting imagination), but I nearly shat my pants why I was laughing about this (is from FH2 forums BTW):






/OT

Though Kugelblitz was just produced two times, I think it has deserved its chance like the Soviet T90 which was also just a prototype. Gameplay>Realism.

oh hey, here's another unit, the Panzer Beobachtungswagen V Panther
In short - it's an artillery observation Panther Ausf. D with a dummy gun. - like the Cromwell Command Tank.
Unfortunately I wouldn't be entirely sure where this unit would fit, other than a special one for campaign or something.

FH2 thing made me laugh.

No, not really. Maus was a super-heavy tank, Kugelblitz wasn't. The prototype argument doesn't even factor in.

This hard-on people suddenly have for the Maus is unwarrented. IS3 or not, Axis still have the heaviest tank in the game, they do not need another even heavier Tank. Seriously, leave it be.

Puh, For a minute there I thought i actually had been banned XD

[BurroDiablo]

Bannings on this forum is very rare... other than spam bots, only person I can remember getting banned was a guy who kept asking for CoH CD keys and shit after being told not to.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Lovely signature, Burro. 

[Sommarkatze]

I have to say I feel a little bad about that people didnt understand that it was a joke.
I dont blaim you guys ofc. I blaim my failed comedian skillz XD


I blaim world of tanks for getting the Maus so popular.
Imo worlds of tanks should have like a big poster thingy when you select german tanks were it is written: 70% of our tanks did not see combat. Have a good day !

Exactly...all those Maus, IS-7, Panther II and other stuff makes only confusion in the people's minds.

I don't see how IS-3 is different from Maus.  Both come from the same source: noobs begging for super-tanks.  Also, neither saw battle in Europe.

Even the Pershing, which came very late-war, was confirmed to have fought a few battles.  If IS-3 was confirmed to have fought in the war, then this would be a whole different story, but as of right now it seems this is another fantasy tank made real.

I'm sure there could have been other, more realistic alternative units to use as reward units instead of this.  I mean if people are so desperate for a Soviet 1 time call-in...as ridiculous as it sounds, there could be a unit like "IS-2 Ace" or something.

[neosdark]

I do like the idea of a IS-2 ACE. Sounds really nice and give a smexy color scheme like the Tiger ACE and you will have one great tank. Paint it some kind of real cool White Camo so the enemy knows when they are fucked

[vonklaus]

What if the Kubelwagen had an officer in it and game a command aura? It would be unique as no other factions have a command vehicle like it. Most German officers did ride around in these at least in the early parts of the war in the east.

Let's put aside that was confirmed or not to have fought a few battles (which i remember someone post a book where is told that it really fought during the last months of war), the IS-3 was built in numbers during the last part of WW2 and many units where finished before May 1945. That's enough to include it in a game that features unlimited Bergetigers, Ostwinds, Crocodiles, StuH on Pz IV chassis, Pumas, Henschel 129s, Wirbelwinds... and nothing from that list, even the IS-3, is comparable with the Maus.

That sounds cool... but it's too late now .

IS3 was added because we had the model and it would've been a shame to waste it. People want the Maus added as a direct response to the IS3, which is an utterly retarded premise. IS3 is more akin to the KT, and in the game the IS3 has been toned down so it doesn't challenge the KT's position as strongest tank in the game.

Remember this is CoH we're talking about, accuracy was never it's strong suit. Besides, IS2 Ace sounds uninspiring, especially when the IS3 model was there, animated and ready to use.
