Ostheer Update 6: Ostheer Army Troops

[Desert_Fox]

I've no idea what is it. 

Anyway we're OT.

[GATHRAWN]

just wondering if the stuka you will be useing is going to be the Ju 87 B/D or are you going for the more specialized Ju 87 G with the 37 mm (1.46 in) Flak 18 guns mounted under the wings?

[BurroDiablo]

They way I envisioned the Stuka, it would dive in and unload a single 250kg bomb precisely on target, it would work like an underpowered V1 or a plane crash, also I don't think it should be able to be called in in the base sector. This isn't an ability you'd be able to just drop wherever you have LoS, you'd need the Luftkommand vehicle (or whatever the feck it's going to be called) nearby in order to call in such a devastating attack. However, not being lead designer or a balance expert, in the end it'll be down to whatever works in the fairest and most balanced way.

to be honest i dont like the foreign support thing, is it to late to think of something else to replace it?

So...you'd create a new faction and instead of new units, you'd have the ability to call units from the old 2 factions and fight alongside the old factions....right, pretty original. Mix and match WH/PE and call it Ostheer?

[EightMinds]

Oooh boy, Doctrines~!

Although like others, I'd like to share a few of my thoughts...


Luftwaffe Support
Recon Command reminds me of Radar Van from C&C:Generals, heh, it's a pretty neat idea. But do they have a limited range for calling in support? Also, seeing how small Brandenburger squads are, I'm willing to bet they're as tough as the Ritterkruez.


Foreign Support
Calling in Foreign troops sounds fun, but why not give foreign troops the same stats while simply alternating their uniforms and names? Sort of like Dark Templar in SCII. It would be simpler, I guess?


Assault Battalion
Jaegers sound fun to use, but the Tiger production sort of feels like a double-edged sword to me. I mean, you still get Tigers, which are stronger, but you'd lose the ability to field Panthers, which are faster, and I would presume, cheaper.


Improved Defences
Question. How well would the Wespe be compared to PE's Hummel?


Improved Supply
Why not make Prioritized Support and Prioritized Weapons toggle-able? That way, a OH player can prioritize either on his/her resources, weaponry, or balance the priorities.



Well, some of my ideas/suggestions look stupid, I know, but I just thought I'd share my thoughts a bit. Thanks.

Hi there!! Good job kamarads!
1. I thing it was a good ideea to combine Self propeled arty with Luftwaffe Recon. Reveal and hit tactic..:-?
2. I thing the Sturer Emil is more beautiful than Elephant...
3. Aaand...i hope that the  Wespe is a little bit violent than Hummel (fast move on the ground and fast reload)?

sorry about my english:(
Post Merge: April 17, 2011, 11:28:43 PMIt will be nice if we could take down Stuka Recon ..and for a some time nothing fly above our heads...the zone will be again in shadow if the stuka is silent.

sorry about my f..english grammar:(

[Mattdamon07]

stuka recon would be fucked up and stupid , should be more like messershmicht recon instead

[RedGuard]

Hummel had bigger gun than wespe IIRC

The devs know what they're doing so dont worry

I would like to think that Sturer Emil could be the reward unit for the Elefant .

[Desert_Fox]

I would like to think that Sturer Emil could be the reward unit for the Elefant .

Also Nashorn could be a good/cool/sexy unit, more important than Sturer Emil (480 units produced against 2).

Anyway...
