Ability suggestion thread:

[Akalonor]

A little OP with the call-ins too many of them and besides all those tanks will have to be created,animated,then coded one at a time, which will kill the developers and cost time . I like the FAMO idea, label it Sd. Kfz 9 or else people will get confused.

[comrade2012]

Oh, I didnt mean for it to sound like you could have the ability to call in all of those tanks. I was just throwing out some suggestions. Yea, if you could call in all of those it would be way OP.

[Killar]

when you play as Ostheer the more enemy contact (means kills) you have the bigger possibility is that there are many russians in front of you trying a breach. So you can request a a backup like a tank battle group to assist. this feature would not be linked with doctrine but avaiable at your command post.

Perhaps you can get a call in as a vet ability

Just thougts

First aid kid upgrade - all infantry (not weapon crews) can use a first aid kid for 20 ammo if their lost at least 1 man.

It works the same as in Causeway and Tiger Ace campains but the healer will help the closest man that is still alive but on the ground (not neseserly from the same squad) and then the wounded man joines the squad.

Well Paciat i like the idea. However I believe that it would be better to make slightly less powerful by doing two things: 1) Instead of a First-Aid Kit make it some kind of Pain-killing drug (perhaps Morphine) which causes the soldier to join your squad for a short period of time before he becomes wounded again or unless he reaches the Main Base Area or a Medic Bunker .

If u can pick up survivers from the ground with minimal wait and have join the squad for as long as he isn't killed, that can cause spam (just have a Wehr spam Pios and when the Medics are done u pick up the scraps).

1. Every man picked of the ground will cost ammo.

2. Olny squads that lost some men can use this ability. It will not create new squads so it will not cause spam.
The defensive doctrine medic bunker (new squads and reinforce) or UKs CCS near a HQ can cause spam.

3. 5 seconds under fire is a lot of time.

4. It can be a global upgrade that will slow teching-up. I like the idea that you can use men from different fractions, (not only Ostheer wounded) but wasting youre fuel and ammo in early game can be the reason that you loose the game. (just like a piospam that was countered)

No Sarin gas, wasn't used in ww2 because it wasn't developed in a stable form until late 44 early 45 AND gas weapons where not used in WW2 on the battlefield (Hitler was injured by Mustard Gas in WW1 and didn't want to put his troops through that, kinda funny for a man who slaughtered innocents....)

You know something else funny for Hitler? He passed legislation to cook a live lobster humanily, you had to kill it first before cooking it.

[Akalonor]

He was a vegetarian too I believe.About the Lobster, I'm on his side for that, Go Lobsters!

[comrade2012]

Yep he was on strange mofo. Just look at as his mustastash, i mean whats up with that???

[cephalos]

I have an idea:
88mm long range support.
An offmap 88 shoots one shell on designated enemy's unit.
Cost 25 mun, cooldown 45 seconds.
Pick up an enemy unit. In 3 seconds time one shell will hit it. This is 88mm shell from typical 88. There is one shell, however sometimes this one shell can save important unit or point.
Note: I don't expect this ability to be doctrinal. Doctrines deserve for something more powerful, nevertheless this ability can be used after purchsing ability in HQ ( like PAnther battlegroup) or one of units can call it in.

I like the idea, but it would be strange if the 88 shot through a hill or a building from outside of the map.

Maybe instead a plane that comes down and attack just one unit with a rocket or something. Similar effect as your idea, though.

[comrade2012]

what if there was an ability to sacrifice manpower for fuel???

[Akalonor]

Theres a similiar ability in the BK mod , except the trade in is usually munitions for Mp/F , there are some that call for F-Mp and vice versa but I can't remember them all.

[ThGermanElite]

You know what....what if there was an ability like this:
For 3500 mp the Ostheer player can call in something called "Last ditch effort", where they call in 2 Tigers,4 Grenadier squads and a HT..........Just throwing something out there

[Akalonor]

1.A 'Last ditch effort' that costs 3500mp is NOT something you can afford in a tight spot ,hehe.Maybe if you bait them by letting them win and wait a few minutes.
2.- 2 tigers -2k mp
   -4 gren squads-1400 (350? each)
   -1 HT - 250? mp 15 F
total 3650mp + 15 F 3800 mp (nearly a minute to get 15 Fuel in a last ditch spot.)
3. Two Tigers, a wee bit OPOP

[ThGermanElite]

AH HAHAHAAHA, yeah man, I figured that xD But I just wanted to throw some retarded idea out there to buzzkill everyone else loool

[Akalonor]

'last ditch effort ' sounds good but what it gives isn't ha. Maybe have it cost 600 mp to give 2 gren. 1 Pz IV and 2 bikes, in a one time usage setting that requires the user to have less than one quarter of the map's Points(if thats possible)
