Ostheer Update 7: Modernisation

[Venoxxis]

Actually really, this Centurion is, besides the facts blackbiship mentioned no option for this mod.
The soviets were the "Tanker-nation" of the allied nations, and so they deserve this tank.

Oha blackjackbishop just gave us another hint

The wikipedia is probably not the best source. Sometimes it is less accurate, than when you go to a library. I read a tank commander's memoir about, that he got an IS3, and that was after the siege of budapest.

I would like to read that too ... will be useful, what was the name of the book or wasn't a published one?

@Venoxxis
What hint ?

The Soviet Union wasn't part of the Allied Nations.

It's the memoir of Pjotr Sztyepanovics Alihanov. He was in a regular infantry group and after he made it to the KV tank. Alihanov is live in the West all I know about him. The book is hungarian sadly, but surley it was translated.

Somebody has a thing for the Centurion.

Besides, I looked it up. Ugly, boxxy thing. I prefer IS-3 better.

Nice chart . I should post it on the Ostheer section, where is needed because the reward units for vanilla and soviet faction are pretty much done. Perhaps we should upload it at ModDB, a lot of users are confused about this there .

That information is useful as well .

Each one earned one of these :

For now has the same upkeep than IS-2, perhaps will be increased slighly.

BurroDiablo, are you saying that you are not going to add the Maus?! I am heartbroken!

 

[Ghost]

lol. just saw some crazy people calling for the maus on moddb cause IS-3 made it into the game...not that i wasn't expecting it 

i leave it for others to decide if the is-3 could be used in EF or not. historically it shouldn't but you can argue to keep up relic's sense of history and use it as a one-time call-in (which the danger of some crazy people calling for a Maus )

[GodlikeDennis]

I don't think it would make a bad reward unit, but brits don't have anything to offer for that. Reward for the Comet? Don't think so, über tanks should be doctrinals and limited to one.

Besides we have a no writen rule that we'll make up to 2 reward units for each faction:

• US: M-18, T-17, Sherman 105, Sherman Jumbo
• Brits: Kangaroo, Staghound, Comet, RMC
• Wehr: Schwimmwagen Type 166, Geschutzwagen, Voss Tiger and Tiger Ace.
• PE: Schwimmwagen Type 128, Hotchkiss, Jagdpanzer IV and
• SU: KV series, SU-122, IS-3 and

So, there's no place for such unit... let alone that Lord Rommel will scold us again for including units with doubtful fighting reputation on ww2 .

To be honest, Voss Tiger is a waste of space and doesn't count as a reward unit. You guys should think about another reward unit for Wehr (not the Maus lol).

BurroDiablo, are you saying that you are not going to add the Maus?! I am heartbroken!

 

Why does it have to be the Maus? 

[GodlikeDennis]

The Voss tiger is only a skin unlocked by having ToV and completing the Tiger ace campaign. No statistical difference. The Tiger ace is a reward unit for the King Tiger of terror doctrine and is much better than a regular Tiger.

[delmar77]
