"Rise of the Opel Blitz"
« on: July 22, 2011, 10:49:02 PM »
I wrote about the Opel Blitz before in the unit suggestion but it's not completed because I write it down right away after thinking.
This is the completed idea.
Role: Ammo/Fuel Opel Blitz will secure sectors. Ammo Opel Blitz will sercure and increase ammo from that point, the fuel one is same. Maybe, ammo/fuel Opel Blitz can secure the strategic point and make it become a low (maybe medium after upgarde) ammo/fuel point base on which truck.
Way to have: become availabe after "Priority Supply Line", they should be a call-in unit and can be call-in seperatedly.
Get benefit from Improved Communications of Army Fortress Troops doctrine, isolated secured points still provide resources.
Thanks for reading and feel free to criticize.
I'm drunk now, I'm outranked you in philosophy.

This sounds a lot like a BK Unit...

No, locking-down units should work the same with all sectors. Having specific resource trucks for the relevent territory is over-complicated.

Strategic Points don't provide increased income when secured anymore, either. Not sure if changing them to another point is a good idea, but i don't think it would be feasible...

I like your suggestion of using Opel Blitz' as transports and resource securing vehicles for the OH. Anything more than that is too complicated for no reason though.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

that sounds cool it should have some kind of machine gun for infantry defense while its locked down and would increase resource income for that sector and block doctrine abilitys from being used in said sector and show units through the fog of war and maybe even if its not too OP collect dead infantrys like a med bunker and spawn squads
Soviet is OP

Mhhh wasnt the idea to gain higher ressources by unit superiority in a sector?

For the next OStheer sneaky some concepts could be released:

- how to gain higher ressources?building outpost or unit superiority?

- mp, munitions or fuel upkeep

Yes, the Opel blitz will be like a sitting duck. Easy prey for tank hunters and AT guns.

In fairness, the Scout Cars MG42 is pretty useless. It's main advantage is being able to secure sectors anywhere in the territory, which was nerfed for some stupid reason.

New way to build units? New kind of units (LeIG 18 or the StG-44-Marksman)? New vet-system? xDDD

Redesigned Nebel and Sniper. If opel that can carry troops and lock down without an upgrade isnt original, LeIG 18 or the StG-44-Marksman arent original too.

Well spoken. That's what I like to see as one of the last missing pieces of the Ostheer puzzle.
