Ostheer Update 3: Infanterie Gruppen Post

[Rikard Blixt]

Just a question, if you build 2 Infanterie Gruppen Post, both have the same upgrade ? Or each Infanterie Gruppen Post has a different upgrade ?

They count as global upgrades. Meaning if you activate it in one IGP, all IGP will have it activated. However all IGP must have the same one active, you can't have one IGP with Pool 1 and one with Pool 2.

@Ts4EVER:
I had different information about the StG 44 with Scope (MP43/1).
My information says that this gun was used at the front line.
E.g. the Panzer-Lehr-Div. had used a small number of this
weapons during normandy battles and when such a field unit
had used scoped StG 44 why not eastern front units?

Almost 500,000 StG 44 was built during WW2 (43-45). I'm sure that a fairly large amount of these were equipped with some kind of scope.

Afaik the only evidence of a scope mount is this picture:



This was taken on a firing range during testing. After that the project was halted. I think some of the MK42(W) prototypes were fitted with the 1.5x scope and used in the field, but don't quote me on that.

On top of that, only the early MP43/1 version had a scope rail, once mass production started, the rail was deleted. That also hints at a discontinuation of scope use.

On axis history I found this:

There was No sniper version of the MP.43/1 MP.43 MP.44 StG.44 series. It had been hoped that it would be possible to issue them with scopes and have a sniper version but trials showed that the mount was unstable and shot dispersion was too high.

It was also found that 8mm kurz did not have enough range for a sniper role and that the profile of the MP.43/1 was too high.

So for me that sounds like the K98k ZF41 is the better option tbh.

Well all the other games have scopes on their stg44's 

[Versedhorison]

this is cool  though a few things

*whats the reason behind landseer only being able to build sand bags and not barbed wire as well?

*Stg44 scoped is awasome

*Imo the support option seems better because you get both an anti tank squad and an anti infantry squad whereas witht the assault option you only get anti infanty options.

I look foward to seeing pics at some point.

it said that the granade abilety ís only avaible until the feldwebel uppgrade, does this mean wha I think it means? that you have to make a  choise of getting better midrange firepower or tossing granades?
