Ostheer Update 7: Modernisation

[RedGuard]

Im sorry goober its obvious youre against it - theres many things we may agree with or disagree with about this game but at the end we cant get everything we want or dont want

the IS-3 is masterpiece try to embrace it

[Goober]

The IS-3 is a great tank and all I know, but it's just the balance I'm concerned about... Could it possibly be a reward unit for ISU-152? And don't worry, Mauss is not at all on my mind.

[RedGuard]

yes it could possibly be that  and dont worry about balance i've used the IS-3 its completely balanced. 

I think a lot of soviet fans will be very happy when they see this, as axis fans were when they first found out about the ferdinand

That Maus note wasn't aimed at you XD... just write to because was something necessary for the other users reading this that could have thought that would be an opportunity.

And yes, IS-3 is the reward unit of the ISU-152 .

Okay, sorry for my previous whining, I see how this will all fall into place.....

[Cranialwizard]

I love this update! 

You should have combined this and veterancy though.

So certain units can only be built after modernizing?

[BurroDiablo]

Yeah. Makes sure the PanzerIII is used instead of teching straight to Panthers, also stops people spamming Brummbars. In a way it keeps the Wehr a viable force since they can get access to Panthers right away. This also means you need to modernise in order to get buildable Tigers, but it's worth it.

I hear people complaining about the amount of fuel it will cost, but the costs are subject to change. Currently, I haven't had any problems gaining the resources needed to tech to Panthers/Tigers/Brummbars, you just need to make sure you make the right choices, although, each modernisation upgrade gives you access to both better AP and AT in some way or another. It gives players plenty of tactical decision to make and will make OH games very interesting to watch indeedy.

Just a quick question, what snow map is that?

It's called Ardennes Forest... ironic isn't it .

[cephalos]

IS-3....
... I'm just getting either tired or older.... 

I wonder how did you pushed it through LordRommel who every time I see whines about historical accuracy...

[RedGuard]

They probably bound and gagged him
i was almost flamed off the forums when i first suggest IS3

[IJoe]

For the sake of good! There a lot of  historical in incorrectness in CoH. And no one seems to be bothered too much.
Besides, there is what is called a "reasonable doubt" backing up the historical aspect of the inclusion of IS-3. And, unlike many vanilla units, it was mass produced as well.

[cephalos]

Oh, allright, I just rather see IS-3 as an independent unit, not as a reward unit for ISU. Still I think that IS-3 is rather post-war technology...

I'm waiting for a day, when IS-2 will be doctrinal unit. Or at least will have better skin.

[sniper_bow]

Great work on the IS-3 model fellas fits in really nicely!....sooooooooo............ Centurion Mk1 at all? lol

[Dzierzan]

Ehhh KV 1, KV 2, KV 85, IS 2, T 34, T 34/85, T 90, T 70, SU 85....and now IS-3??? I hope you guys know what mean balance, because i don't want another unbalanced patch, yea SU is balanced but i think that little not. And i hope that 1.4 will be REAL balanced game. But EF can be only balanced when Ostheer will be done. So they must be OP as SU is. Becasue WH and PE are not designed to fight vs SU, it is true.

Update 7:

Cool, something like armory in SU.
