Unit suggestion thread:

[neosdark]

Well I'm pretty sure they finished a few Kugelblitz cupolas, but I know for a fact that they weren't used during the war, save for a (slim) possibility that they were hurriedly used in Berlin, I'd love to see it, but as a reward unit for what?

Shotguns were discussed before, don't recall what the end to that argument was.

[Blackbishop]

Don't know XD... but if it has a very slim chance to be in OH would be as reward unit .

[mads]

I do not know yet what it could be a replacement unit for. maybe it could be for elephant, Tiger II Henschel or Wespe.

then you could make it, so that for each lv it rose it would be more reliable since it was a prototype + an upgrade.

[Pac-Fish]

But to only have 1 Kugelblitz IMO would be weird . Its basically a Ostwind on crack  . Or at least thats what it looks like 

[GodlikeDennis]

Wespe is the only thing I think it would suit out of the doctrines. It could also feasibly replace the Brummbar.

[mads]

there would only be possible for a single call in, since it was only a prototype and therefore not many of them. everything else would be historically incorrect. a weak one-time call in, but with possibilities and roles the other one-time call in can not perform. 2 types of rounds also makes it better to fill different roles. Perhaps the game's best anti-air, anti-infantry and anti-light vehicle unit.
it may not have much hp but it had other qualities to compensate for that.

I think it would be best to replace Wesper.

Sounds like a walking Bofor  . Only with a better cannon

[neosdark]

Yea but I don't think Rommel will let it happen since it was a bloody prototype. I mean he doesn't even want to use the Sturmtiger, and thing wasn't a prototype (technically speaking)

But you will be getting the Brummbär allmost as cool looking as the sturmtiger, atleast the late version is, the early version is nasty.

[stealthattack1]

sounds cool, but like neosdark, i think it might only be allowed as a reward unit. "prototype" and "only five in production" doesn't sound very promising.

Not arguing that fact, but he doesn't want the Sturmtiger because it didn't really serve on the Eastern Front, well the Kugelblitz never served anywhere, so ya.

Where is Rommel when you need him to back you up anyway

[SublimeSnugz]

Sturmtiger is a bad concept imo, it looks cool indeed but cmon a rocket shooting tank! Way too prototype and crazy. Settle with the brummbär its just as cool

Jeah. I wait with my answer because i hoped that someone else is able to explain my point of view.
I like the Sturmtiger. It is a an amazing weapon BUT it had never served on the eastern front lines against red army troops.
The warshaw uprising was a revolt not a part of the frontline.
And the Kugelblitz; well... It is a strong rumour that a Kugelblitz had fought during the battle of Berlin against red troops.
Perhaps it did but there is no real proof and because of this I dont like to see this anti air tank ingame.
All in all i wont see neither Sturmtiger nor Kugelblitz at the Ostheer

SdKfz 251/20 half-track



Description:
An SdKfz 251 half-track with an infrared searchlight used to designate targets for tanks.

Acquisition:
Upgrade of basic SdKfz 251 after modernisation at the cost of 75 munitions

Abilities:
Set up: the vehicle will lock into position and automatically camouflage itself. Once locked down, it will be able to start designating targets. There is a cooldown time of 15 seconds before this ability can be activated/deactivated.

Designate target (needs to be set up): the half-track will "tag" an enemy vehicle, which will make the vehicle appear in the fog of war. It will be untagged once the half-track is destroyed.

 

[neosdark]

Hrm I must say I like that idea, but for that price (modernization included) I think it should do a little bit more. Perhaps we can use use it as a secondary lock-down point later in the game for advancing armies
