Summary of the Ostheer sneaks [WIP]

[Blackbishop]

You can't tell from only watching a game against them but there are still inconsistencies in the core faction, doctrines need a lot of work, and vet and healing is not yet working.

Indeed, there are missing units, missing abilities and missing vet. I'd call it beta when we have all the units, abilities and vet ready .

So when are we going to see the first 'front' post of this thread updated with the new layout for the Ostheer? I'm positively giddy with anticipation here!

ahh ghost. ever vigilant. kudos to you.

[GodlikeDennis]

Ghost is pretty observant.

[Sotahullu]

Fortress Pz IV? Whats that by the way?

Edit: Oh, doctrine given tank. Nothing then. 

[Dreamerbg]

In Ostheer T4 assault  You can build PzIII and a tank which depends on your doctrine choise.
So "Fortress Pz IV" means that you can get PzIV if you pick up the Fotress doctrine.

I think that PzIV will be replaced with another unit 

[Tankbuster]

- Panzerjaegers (AT infantry, build:?, ability: Focus for improved Accuracy, upgrade: Panzerschreck)

worst ability ever

[Dann88]

I can abuse Fire Focus if it has no cooldown.

- Panzerjaegers (AT infantry, build:?, ability: Focus for improved Accuracy, upgrade: Panzerschreck)

worst ability ever

why? it's nice to have high accuracy with AT weapons and hit even moving targets

[Tankbuster]

Meh, would still suck. A single T-34 pounded the two squads into dog poop and ran away. And 4 Schrecks missed.

[Ghost]

I can abuse Fire Focus if it has no cooldown.

it has a cooldown. and not just a few seconds, so no abuse
