"Hmm...You know the Romanian MG isn't too popular. I might replace it with infantry."
yea and I honestly think it would be a bit scary for any player fighting you; you know 3 seconds in and your enemy has a bloody machine gun :P

Truth. I may just make them with rifles.

But it's a very weak and slow MG.

Think of a Vickers with a Browning's power, that's the general speed and power of it :)

i gotta agree to some people here.
there are wayy to many units O_O

Just a few examples,
- there seems to be infrantry with the same role, just a bit stronger/weaker
- a cheap hmg and a expensive one is not OKAY at all
- Why a pz4?
   -> and besides the pz3 it doesnt make any sense at all, a upgradeable pz3 does fit way better. ppl dont     
       wanna see another pz4.



Just a few thing to your tank hall:

-Buildable Tigers are a must have (at least doctrinal - & limited)
-most ppl also want buildable Panthers..
-a doctrinal tank hunting pz4 fits better





The Docs are quite well done. I like them. Your naming is pretty much outstanding which brings 100% more feeling.
Good work 'bout this one.
Also the 'Front'-idea is a good one imo.
A call-in sniper is a great idea. Even if its simple, i like it. Another option would be the Tank Buster with rifle.

The only Front which doenst seem to fit at all is the foreign support front. Doctrinal foreign troops should just be early game. Your doc shows that a sensefull full foreign doc doesnt really work at all.


Keep up the hard work.

Just a few suggestions and critics ;)

Thanks for all of that!

I'm looking into Romanian weapons to change the infantry.

For the Pz4, I thought that it would be good b/c:
1. It's the only common vehicles in BOTH factions
2. It was highly produced in that era.

Adding a panther to the hall would make it too similar to the Wehrmacht. I'm looking to include a different doctrine to replace Foreign Front.

It will probably be heavily dependent on defensive war though.
-Storm:Rain from hell with artillery
-Exterminating:Heavy weapons for all! :D Elite troops too
-Foreign:Expands on other participants, including heavy tanks.

But I am looking to replace Foreign. I'm not sure what else to come up with.

the foreign style is good ... what do you think about pop 20 à 25% reserved on it ...  they'd be numerous and cheap, maybe with defensive bonus ...

that enables ost to surviive against russian massive blob
pleeeease criticize or comment my ostheer try

I like this Ostheer concept!
So about the infantry fight 15% well than they should and the tanks breaking down 20% of the time, does that mean it will happen in a map like Kharkov, Kiev or Rostov, BUT NOT a map like Sevastapol or Moscow?
Guards of the Red Army. Today, the German Reich is done away with!

Practically everywhere. It's fight against cold weather, not necessarily SNOW. I'm not sure if such a deduction is possible but I'm sure dev's can think of something.

I suggest you to give romanian weapons to romanian unit(s)
This is a very good assault weapon with accuracy of the rifle and high rate of fire(is SMG after all...)

It should be added as an upgrade. All weapons held by foreigners are made by their own country with the sole exception of Bulgaria.

I'd equip Romanians with Rifles of their country. Then maybe a full squad SMG upgrade.

MMM...for the Foreign troops I would love to see the tough Falangist guys of the Blue Division  ;). Hitler himself admitted to be the same as "the best of Germany"

Unfortunately, the Foreign unit's doctrine either needs something extremely powerful or it needs to be replaced. I'm figuring out how to do either of them :/

Ever wondered to put these units:
Bison Self Propelled Support Artillery
PzKpfw. 38T Ausf. G - Command Vehicle
Pz. IV Raketenwerfer VS150
Flak-Panzer IV, Mobelwagen with 37mm flak 43
SdKfz.251/23 Ausf.D with 2cm HangLafette
PanzerJager 1
