Ostheer Update 2: The HQ

[vadlama]

I have just 1 more question (I think) about Landsers. Can they repair? I mean bridges especially, cuz I love the maps with bridges, but if only the haltrack can repair, then you should enable to have 2 of them.

You should wait for the next ostheer announcement to answer that question .

Let me guess - Sturmpioniere?

I wonder if there are any ostheer vet infantry squads that use MP40s only or mixed up with K98ks? COH seems to down play the significance of MP40s. even though they are easy 2 use, MP40s were not only given to 'newbie' grunts, but even elite infantry like the waffen SS and falscimjager used them before StG44 was available. In fact,during the early stages of WW2,infantry combat was based around the MP40 squads providing cover 4 riflemen

I agree. I don't know if they were as widely distributed as you think but I do think the fact that they are automatic should give them a bit more supressing fire in the ostheer.

Read some books, man - MP 40 are nothing ever close to PPSh in means of accuracy, reliability, rate of fire, you name it!

He never stated that the MP 40 is better than the PPSH, he simply asked if the MP 40 could be a bit more used in the Ostheer. Accurate or not, if an MP40 starts firing at you, you'll hit the floor, either dead, wounded, or trying to prevent the former two.

Nowhere is the PPSH mentioned....No one is saying it isn't a phenominal sub-machine gun. Germans picked it up and used it frequently because when they needed them there were always plenty of them on the ground 

[IJoe]

No need to be an ass. What I meant is that MP 40 can't be made even more effective, than it is right now, for that would look plain stupid if it overpowers PPSh. Obvious, isn't it? Just takes a little thinking - try it for a change.

[Blackbishop]

Remember that Oshteer is still in Alpha... some changes could happen

Just takes a sense of humor - try picking up on the blatant sarcasm for a change

Gosh, you're so resourceful! But what was the point of your sarcasm, may I ask? Mine, at least, had one.

[Griptonix]

Are you serious? I said that the Germans often picked up the ppsh because they thought as I do that it was a phenominal sub-machine gun. Then I added that when someone wanted a ppsh there were often plenty lying on the ground, because you do know that the soviets took a large number of casualties on the eastern front right and often when someone dies on the field of battle, they tend to drop the gun that they were using when they were alive. Honestly, this is insulting to anyones intelligence to have to go through this much trouble to explain a simple concept.

Of course it is. Well, isn't it?
The point of my first sarcastic notice that PPSh is way better than MP 40 was to outline that improving the battle performance of the letter would be ridiculous.
The point of my second sarcastic notice was to make you understand the point of the first one.
The point of yours, as I concluded from your broad explanation, was a silly description of war realm, and an offending one. As if I were to say: "Hell, those germans burn like candles every time katiusha (aka Stalin's organ) fires at them" (by the way, I heard such a description of that by the one, who actually saw it with his own eyes). However, I didn't bring myself that low.

Cheers!

EDIT: Sorry, you're right, Blackbishop. No more mucking here will be performed by me on that matter.

Could you stop arguing about that in this topic? You can open a new one in the correct section or just use pm instead of going off-topic.
