Possibility of returning
« on: September 21, 2011, 01:51:16 AM »
I was just wondering if it would be possible for the following to return to EF as I thought that they were relevant, and I enjoyed using these units and ability.


Name: Jagdtiger
Type: Unit
Description: Tank Destroyer 128mm Pak 44 replaced the King Tiger
Reason: Although the Jagdtiger had very limited anti-infantry capabilities, and was also limited with the locked turret I would very much like to see it return to EF as I enjoyed blowing tanks to shreds with its mighty 128mm Pak 44.


Name: Commissar
Type: Unit
Description: Communist Officer armed with a PPSH-43
Reason: I would like to see the Commissar brought back and placed within the Conscripts either when they achieve full rifles from the Urban tree or an upgrade at the Outpost.


Name: Not one step backwards
Type: Ability
Description: The Commissar would shoot a conscript with his TT-33 side arm to break suppression.
Reason: I personally thought that this was a rather intresting ability that ties in with communism, I would like to see this ability return, possibly the same thing being able to break suppression, or something like inspiring the conscripts to fight better for a short period.

Well, I would like to see the JT as PE reward unit of JP. Otherwise it only will stay in the fortress mode :(.

Would it not make sense for the Jagdtiger to be a reward unit for the Elephant when the Ostheer are released?

No, Jagdtiger didn´t fight at the eastern front. Nor the Sturmtiger

I thought some were used in Austria against the Soviets?

Well what I know of the combat history they saw action on both the Western and Eastern Front, thus I think that the Jagdtiger is still relevant to EF.

If it replaces the Jagdpanther then you would need to raise the cp + mp cost. After all, its basically the same thing but better.

i would also prefer jagdtiger as a reward for the jagdpanther

the problem is just tankhunter doc has already a reward unit
im not sure it would be a good idea to make a 2nd one in the same doctrin.

or to say it better it is not a good idea :D
but it wouldnt fit in any other doctrin

maybe we will find a way jagdtiger could be used in a doc
but currently not

in my opinion, the unit is just too powerful for coh. its stats when we removed it were basically a copy of the isu152 before we overhauled it, we would have to seriously tone down the thing if it were to fit into the game

Nope, would be stronger and slower than Jagdpanther. How much stronger? That would be up to balance :P.
