Unit suggestion thread:

[Xeroforce]

i would like to see the panzer 1 implamented into the ostheer (reward unit or whatever have you) it can become a command tank with the tanks upgrade ability which will give the panzer 1 a bedframe antenna with this new upgrade the panzer 1 can now become a command tank providing either offensive or defensive bonuses also with the antenna unlocked the panzer 1 can now call in off map artillery barrages and smoke cover for advancing tanks
Post Merge: September 04, 2011, 12:42:15 PMlet me rephrase that the pz1  could be like the cromwell command tank shared vet can provide bonuses and can call in either arty strikes or smoke cover doesnt necessarily have to be a ifv or main battle tank i understand that it wasnt the best tank in the world but on the eastern front the pz1 served different services such as  command and control recon and even a flame tank in some instances

The Ostheer concept has been final for a while, adding more vehicles only slows down development time. Maybe we can add a Panzer 1 in the future as a Sd.Kfz. 263 Luftwaffe Kommand replacement, but that won't be until after the initial release.

you know burro i actually like that idea

The armed, light tank version .

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

moving this to unit suggestions and also the panzer 1 was one of the main tanks along with the panzer 2  leading the way in operation barbarossa

Well. Panzer I was outdated before ww2. All Pz I were backtracked form front lines in 1941. No german division used Pz I for assault during operation Barbarossa. Later on there were some trials with the heavy version Pz I Ausf. F. So when Ostheer will see a Pz I version i hope we will take Ausf. F because this tank had seen a kind of combat at the eastern front.

So... Not everything what's in MoW will be included in EF .

Jeah xD Nice point

Ok i have an oddball suggestion here but hear me out.

Before i begin i am aware that this is bending the rules a little.   

The Luftvärnskanonvagn L-62 Anti II / 40M Nimrod

So what is it?

Well its a Swedish built AA gun armed with a 40 mm Bofors that was then sold to Finland and to the Hungarians under licence and after some very minor modifications became the 40M Nimrod. 

Hang on i thought we said no specific foreign units?

Ah yes we did but, in the Ostheer description we have an entry for: Foreign Battlegroup - 3CP (Call-in two random Foreign squads (or 1 random squad plus a random crewed weapon) and 2 Foreign Tanks).

Now, i'm going out on a limb here and guess that something like the Panzer 38(t) is going to be used to represent foreign tanks due to the fact it was used by several different countries. 

In a similar manner this AA unit was used by two different countries and as such doesn't actually have to represent any particular nation (just like the Panzer 38(t) ).

Ok so it side steps the the rule against representing specific nations but, why else should we include it?

Well apart from the fact it looks rather nice it has a duel anti-air anti-armour role meaning theirs some flexibility about where it could be slotted in as a reward unit.  On top of this the Hungarians had a unique weapon for this vehicle called the 42M Kerngranate.  This was essentially a giant rifle grenade fitted over the main gun that could make for a pretty cool special attack ability.

Is there already a crewed weapon. If not the idea sounds neat

[Blackbishop]

@Fishhunterx
Not yet .

@One-eye
Sounds good, I hope this can be added .

[Otto Halfhand]

1. The L62 looks like it might be a good reward unit for the Ostwind.

2. If some version of the Pz.I is included in Ostheer I would argue for the JagdPz.I w/47mm cannon.

3. As interesting and cool as all the suggested AFVs in this thread are, I would really rather see some flavor of Pz.IV MBT in Ostheer.

Something that counters light armored vehicle spam early game. God I hate that shit.
