 I agree, the panzerII and panzerIII's have always needed to be in the game somewhere

                          That was a good game seeme!! You guys played well, but the might of german steel toulk you and your buddy. Oh and when you quit out right before we won, the game locked up, and said we had been kicked out?... wierd.  How do you think it would have went if those pIV were all pIII ?                                                                                          The medium tank is very important to the germans, it just makes everything work. Notice that my bro was struggling under the weight of your inf blobs. He had no medium tank because he was germ-elite therefore he was forced to wait on panthers in late game. The PE mkIV isnt that good against tank hunters, so he relied on me for medium tank support.

Yea, my tank hunter squads would of owned better if I didnt forget to upgrade them  ;D. We did lots of mistakes on our side.

In late game you should always have a medium tank, if the Germans only spam panthers we would of won. Also some volks and MP44s grienderis would of helped.

Well as it was said in one concept Ostheer should be an elite army countering masses of soviets so even if want to see new tanks a panther is a must. A panzer III is a good tank to fight those T-70 and T-90. Some version of stug should be able to fend of T-34 and then panthers come in. A buildable version of a Tiger is a good option to counter IS-2. The uniquness of Ostheer sholud be its whole concept not the vehicles.

I agree. the concept as a whole is very important to a faction. The british cromwell is a fine example of a factions need for a medium tank. When an early cromwell comes out at just the right time it can be devistating in the hands of an experianced player and can turn the tide of an mid-game. A good player can make use of a medium tank in many different ways, no matter what faction they are using.

I think PzIII should have an upgunned Hothkiss/Puma gun on a PzIV chassie.
Ostheer should have a Treadbreaker ability or Stickies so that this early tank could be usefull in fighting SU-85 but it should loose a 1v1 to a Cromwell tank or to 2 well microed Staghounds.
It should be devastating with a StugIII and I hope that there will be an option to choose between teching up to a StugIII or a PzIII. Stug III should be better vs UK/US, PzIII vs Soviet light tanks. PzIII should be a reason why Soviets should get a heavy tank upgrade first, instead of going light armor like they do vs Wehrmacht and PE.
A quick T-34 should be a problem to Ostheer just like a quick Stuart is to PE.

Well the stug should form the back bone of Ostheer's panzer forces. I think that one will counter infantry and in some cases anti-tank cannons and have a short canon. The other should have a long cannon to destroy tanks. I also think that the idea to link infantry to tanks the way british officers can be link is very good. It can improve the cooperation beetwen infantry and tanks.
