[neosdark]

Its a neat design idea, but i have a few qualms. If you call in a Glider as your HQ it should be easy to destroy, correct? If thats the case, one very quick Bren Carrier Rush and you good sir, are f-ed in the butt.

Its a nice idea, but easy to break. I have an idea that i would like to adapt to your design:

When you call in your glider, it becomes similar to the Commando HQ glider, being able to produce your tier 1-1.5 units and the "reserve force" that comes in consists of Ostpioneers mounted on Motorcycles (2 of them) and a Jager squad. The Ostpioneers build up the base HQ while the glider spits out more Jagers, and other infantry units.

Otherwise its a very sound design (waiting for veterancy and doctrines of course) and i hope that you will get good reviews.

[Tico_1990]

I have read this idea, and I quite like it, however, I also agree with neosdark that a glider as a HQ might be a bit easy to destroy.
On top of that, I have one question at the moment. I noticed that you have 3 transport units, my question would be: "why do you have three of them?"
I can understand one transport, but honestly, I think that two let alone three are too many. I'd say that you should either drop the opel blitz, or the SdKfz (for originality, keep the blitz).
Just a suggestion though.

Cheers

[Newbie.]

Ok! I was wondering how people would generalise the glider. I'll sort some stuff out. This Glider, or 'HE111'. Is Very heavyily armoured. [Not as much as a HQ] However, it can be recalled in once destroyed a max of 3 times.


3 Transport. Just tthought on it

Kubelwagen Transport: Only Carrys 3, will be usually upgraded with the MG34 for raiding by a commander.

Opel Blitz - Full-on transport

SdKfz - Yeah.. Maybe a upgrade for the blitz?

EDIT: xD... So does anyone think the 4 diffrent anti-tank guns [37mm-Anti-Vechicle] [50mm Anti-LightTank] [75mm-Anti-Medium tank] and [88mm Anti-Heavy tank] is too much?

[Pauly3]

whats the use of having two paks???
another thing: Lugers as a maingun just suck (except for officers...) no german unit ever carried only lugers..

[Newbie.]

Two PaK's - add realism, slightly. Having just a PaK43 as a AT Gun 'would be op' while having a PaK38 would be 'Unrelistic'. Plus, they offer a unique way to counter other tanks, you'd have to strategically choose what PaK would be suited for the job.

Luger - Luger's aren't used a  main weapon MUCH, mostly by support squads + OstPioneer, a upgrade in army group south will replace support squad luger's with Kar98k's. The OstPioneer's can also be upgraded with kar98k's. and also, most of the Luger using units AREN'T Battle units.

[Tägermonf]

Very Nice Idea

[Pauly3]

another thing... kriegsmarine pios on the field??
i cant imagine that (they are not like us-marines, they dont even exist..)

[Seeme]

Will be heck for the coders

[cephalos]

U-boots surround Russia?! OMG...
Increase munitions should decrease upgrades cost.
PaK43 - towed,right, because it was too heavy for infantry to push it.
Resource leand-lease... well, it sounds quite good, untill one player gets fuel from two, and immediately rushes to T4....

[Blackbishop]

I think devs don't want to invite Kriegsmarine to the party ...

[TheVolskinator]

HEY! You stole my unit layout plan!    jk jk. Looks pretty good, but it seems like the Glider HQ is fairly weak, and 3 Transports/4 AT guns is a tad much. I also see a few too many units, try keeping the range at around 15-20 total non-doctrinal units. But over all, very nice job. 

[Newbie.]

;P Thanks,. Might do a update... Reading yours now ;P
