Unit - Reward suggestions thread:

[Otto Halfhand]

It is true that a small number of Kugels were produced and saw action. I don't have a big problem with that . They were used in the end days and there are several Scenarios where they can be used aesthetically. Simple fact a mobile AA vehicle is needed. The Mobel Wagon might be nice but I think to make it work in a pleasing manner would be a bitch. (and I am not belittling any of the modelers here).

How about replacing the Luftwaffe officer with the terror officer?

[Blackbishop]

@132
What do you mean with "terror officer"? The one from CoH:O I guess. What were his abilities?

[krupp steel]

He had a one  shot kill execute, mini firestorm, and some other ability I forgot . Also he had an stg44.

[Sommarkatze]

How about letting the luftwaffe officer have no weapon at all but the abilety to pick one up? :>

[NKjulanoff]

The RBT-5 hosted a pair of large artillery rocket launchers, one on each side of the turret. Several designs for extremely wide tracks, including, oddly, wooden 'snowshoes' were tried on BT tanks.

One thing i just realized is that the US are still missing a reward unit ever since the removal of the sherman jumbo.

Ive gathered a list of tanks and vehicles which we know there are models of which we might be able to use as a reward unit

M8 GMC - Basically an M5 stuart with 75mm stubby gun and .50 cal
M36 jackson
M5 AT gun - 3in AT gun, equivalent to the pak40
M15 CGMC - AA halftrack with 2 .50 cal and 37mm autocannon
COH:O Sherman Ace - A badass looking sherman
Disney bomb - maybe a reward ability? I made a working one a few months ago
M45 Quadmount - Basically an stationary version of the quad .50 cal, similar to the flak38
M24 Chaffee- a light tank which used the same 75mm gun as the sherman
M21 81 mm MMC- a mortar halftrack
M10 sonic- An M10 fitted with large loudspeakers, used by the 3133rd SSC and 23rd Headquarters Special Troops to deceive and confuse the germans. I dont think it would take much work to make such a modification

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

i think usa dont need any of these units...

IS-I-100?

I forgot where I picked this up but the IS-I-100 is an IS-2 armed with the 100mm cannon mounted on the SU-100. It also had better optics/fire control. Quite redundant as the IS-2 currently in the game does heck ton of damage to armor and does WTFISTHISSH*T damage to enemy infantry. But if you were going to change the IS-2's stats (To where a Pershing Cannon or better so it would reflect its real life main gun) We could use this unit for the dedicated tank killing role the IS-2 in game currently has. (As well as steamrolling through Flak 88s and AT guns)

[Blackbishop]

If I would pick up something from that list, it would be:

* M36 Jackson -> Reward unit for the Pershing. Same gun, less armor but more speed.
* M5 Halftrack -> Reward unit for the M3 Halftrack, can be upgraded to M15 CGMC.
* CoH:O Sherman Ace -> Reward unit for the M4 Sherman.

I haven't checked the Sherman Ace, but if it can be upgraded with the 76mm gun, it might be a good replacement, similar to the reward Tiger for Wehr.

@Wekwekboris
About the "IS-I-100", supposing it existed, it might be just a prototype, and certainly soviets doesn't need such unit.

To be honest, the last thing I'd like would be to mess with a reward unit for a doctrine XD.

[Jeff 'Robotnik' W.]

* M5 Halftrack -> Reward unit for the M3 Halftrack, can be upgraded to M15 CGMC.

LOVE IT! that would work perfectly


also the sherman ace comes with the 76mm by default

[Blackbishop]

Well, if the sherman ace only has the 76mm gun, there is nothing we can do .

But I prefer the idea for the reward HT as well .

Great, ill get started on it

[Blackbishop]

Don't worry, it is not priority . IMO we should finish our current pending stuff.

Reward units definitely should come later. Also, IIRC DMz has an unfinished M5 HT .

[Spieel]

I like the M5 HT as well, Though the Sherman ace is interesting...
