Buildable Arty for the Ostheer?

[BurroDiablo]

Jeah. I hate this damn movie and so i call it "Shaving Privat Ryan" xD

Or, Shaving Ryans Privates...

[FatalFlashBack]

well, the Ostheer should get the same as the PE: 1 commander that provide mobile arty, and another 1 that provide static arty,
about the firepower:
depends on what it is, keep it realistic:
a wespe shouldn't have the firepower of a mortar, and a mortar not the firepower of a wespe

[ThGermanElite]

Which one provides static artillery???

[Spieel]

^^ My guess would be he is talking about the luftwaffe's flak 88.
At least that's the only static arty for PE i can think of.

[TheReaper]

Jeah. Foxhole is the outpost. Think that this was the first name for this structure 

@Cephalos:
Jupp. U can see a 2cm Flak 30 in "shaving privat ryan" ( i dont like this damn movie... ).

"shaving privat ryan" XD
Göbbels would be proud for that film.

What?!?
If you watched shaving private ryan or basically any world war two movie made recently you would think that the Germans were a bunch of little girls when it came to fighting. There are only a few movies that do the Germans even close to justice. I dont think the  Reich Minister of Propaganda would be very pleased with that movie.

I haven't got the space to explain basic filmmaking technics here, and nor my english not good enough to do it, so I'm gone sarcastic. Anyway, if you want to see a perfect Göbbels-like propaganda movie, see the "Starship Troopers". ;P

For Ostheer I think they have to have an artillery like the brits, becouse the other german factions don't have. Or make some special ability, make it different to the others in the game. Or infantry get special ability to drop flare to give spot for the artillery.

Not exacly artillery though, it plays a AT/AA role in CoH. But I totally agree with you brother

I have never used the artillery base as the British, Americans, or Russians because it is a total waste. One salvo and the base gets crapped on by everything that can lob a round into the fog of war. The Hummel, Katyusha, Priest is the way to go and exactly what I would want to see in the Ostheer.

I see where youre coming from, but if they could make the Field piece have more range than the mobile units, it would kinda even out the match.

I've played once with brit, against my friend, and a bit hard, but fun to play. The RCA doctrines have their advantages and disadvantages, like any other doctrine.

Really?  When utilized by experienced players, the artillery emplacements can be absolutely devastating.  I'm pretty much out of the loop as of new strats and top players, but I remember tons of replays where the Axis would be at the mercy of Allies artillery supremacy.

That being said, I don't think the Axis should have as much access to artillery as the Allies do just because their nature of play is supposed to be different than the Allies.  True, the Americans only have the 105 as artillery, and it's doctrine specific, but that whole dynamic changed when the British arrived.  The Hummel is doctrine specific but besides that the Axis lack in readily available artillery.  The Stuka is great, but that costs munitions so it's on a different level.

Is that supposed to be a paradropped mini-hopwitzer?

[neosdark]

No, Hypersniper the 8.8cm Raktenwerfer is bassicly a Panzerschreck on an artillery carrige, and was used by Falschirmjagers on one of their raids with success, but they were built in small numbers because German High Command realized that a Bazooka like system (aka what the Panzerschreck was based of) would be more effective and mobile.

[Fementedbeancurd]

I agree that they should have buildable arty and have a mobile howitzer thing.

[Cozmin95]

Yes, buildable arty since im bored of those static emplacements the Soviets, British and Americans by Doctrine have!Wespe or Grille would be a great addition!

[Aouch]

Question is what buildable mobile artillery? leFH18 (18/40) should be in an emplacement, because it was definatly much too heavy to be pushed around.
I suggest 7.5cm leIG 18 or 7.5cm IG 37, since those two weight around 500-600 kilo and therefore could actually be transported by soldiers.
