I think it should be an emplacement like the Brits and Soviets, besides, a model for it already exists.
Not understanding why people want another SPG, PE already has a Hummel.

My 'Breach Assault Arty' has 2 Wespe's and a Brummbahr; I think that Call-In would be the best. Not quite as damaging as the Hummel but a tad more mobile. Building it as a static emplacement would take away from the OH's mobility. Anyone agree with me on this last point?

Why not following the soviets example? A buildable static howitzer (with a some restricions of course) and a doctrinal sturmartillerie unit?

For some reason I really liked the pentagonal German arty emplacements from one of the ToV campaigns. It looked pretty cool.

I would say firebase non-doctrine and wespe call-in in one of the doctrines.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Either as an emplacement or able to be dragged around like the US one, I wouldn't really mind.

Cheers

I would like to see both LeFH and Wespe in game. One buildable and another doctrine specific call-in.

Wow! Sturmtiger rocks! :D

But I like the idea to see an artillery firebase like the USA ToV campaign (It's the same of Blitzkrieg mod) or like the Soviet/British faction.

Sturmtiger is Western Front only pretty much, and would make an excellent replacement unit for the hummel in my opinion.

yeah it probaly would but PE has allready got the Jagdpanzer IV as a reward unit.. that means the next PE reward unit would have to be buildable and not doctrinal.

Except for the Sturmtiger, that one's cool.

I'd prefer mobile artillery (like the Grille or the Wespe), for obvious practical reasons.

Crew-served infantry weapons and emplacements can't be re-manned. That, plus the Ostheer was all about mobility and tactical flexibility. Mobile arty would make the most sense.  ;)

Ostheer skouldnt have decrewable weapons. No mortars, no HMGs (LMG 34 squad with no ammo cost would be great), no PAKs. A firebase with stats compareble to 25lbs sould be a great non doctrinal arti.
Wespe is a great idea too. More shells but less damage and range than Hummel.
