New German Units

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

German Ostheer 

Their are enought german units and weapons
and perhaps all of us are happy when we will se
a new, correct panther or kingtiger xD
kingtiger with henschelturret were very cool

Ski troops? Surely not We couldn't make them Ski for a start, and on non-snow maps they'd just look ridiculous.
If we're including any Finns (and thats a big IF... although there is increasing demand for and I'd hate to dissapoint but its not up to me) I'm in favour of having the Finnish Jalkavaki as a call in squad. Elite troops that can build defences, similar to the Luftwaffe ground forces.

yeah i was thinking those jalkavaki's  if u guys add them to ostheer i think they should be something like stormtroopers with ability to booby trap buildings and other stuff

exist a legend about the Maus in battle.
Let's make a Maus unit.

[Ghost]

And don't even start to think about suggesting the Maus... dunno how many times that's been mentioned. Too many.

[Gew00n]

some ppl do seem to like the maus, lol.
it's almost obsessive behaviour.

[UeArtemis]

Our mod is not historical already as I see. So why do not add something unhistorical?

[WartyX]

Being so big, pathfinding for the Maus will be almost impossible on most maps. Also lets be honest, it is a bit over-the-top for a skirmish.

[scyflex]

a maus should destroy a sherman tank in 1 shot from the back and rear, amd a pershin tank in 2 shots.

[bastex]

i remember a reply like : put it in the campain lets do that

[FriendlyFire]

yea, I mean the tanks at the end of the British Campaign were really super tanks right?

So, why not one Big Boss Battle for fun?

[UeArtemis]

It isn't so big ^_^




And Russian KB-4 near the Maus

and Jagdtiger and the Maus

[Ghost]

We're not adding a Maus. In reality it was a useless prototype that broke down and had to be destroyed by its crew.
In a simulation where fuel consumption and mechanical problems don't exist, the tank would simply be a huge annoying slow bastard that takes far too much effort to destroy.

Both Maus prototypes tried to flee advancing Soviet forces to avoid being captured. The Soviets overran the one with the dummy turret first, but the one with the working turret escaped, before breaking down and being scuttled by its crew. Some Soviet sources obviously would have liked people to believe they destroyed it themselves, but we know this is highly unlikely given the size of the thing.
Chasing one down in a campaign mission would be fun though... it would make an awesome boss, similar to US mission where you destroy the Tiger Ace.

Bergepanther was the best armoured recovery vehicle of the WWII

It didn't have a turret
An open platform, crane boom and winch were installed on a chassis «Panther». First samples were armed with 20-mm automatic cannon, next - 7,92-mm MG-34.





It can repair and restore destructed (not heavy) vehicles, can carry German engineers (maybe 3 squads of pioneers), who will be use 2 MG (a main gun can works without crew) and can shoot (and repair?) from inside a platform.
Generally, it is mix of Kangaroo and Bergetiger. This is my idea.

P.S. I found a Bergetiger of the PE ^_^

[Pollarisz]

The Bergepanther and the Maus is not bad idea (the berge is better

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

I think the Maus would be a tank for an other mod idea.
Too slow, too heavy, too much for CoH.
I think a lot of people would think that EF is crazy when they would a such a tank. Jagdtiger in CoH is perhaps the end of balancing ( rolling bunker with the best anti tank gun ).
If you would balance the Maus you could not call it anylonger Maus because it would get too bad or you would have no chance against this overpowered tank.
