Hmm, why not making the flak 38 airborne, can you make it as a paradrop unit in the Army support troops, the Luftwaffe support tree ? Anything wrong ?

Yes, why not give the Ostheer a nuke rocket as a starting ability? :P

But to be fair that would be a good idea if you limited the amount of Flak's you could have on the battlefield, and tweak the cool down for a while it is the Ultimate Anti Infantry weapon :p, just got to look out for the snipers that kill the crew an steal the Vehicle.

But yeah I'm only saying this because I want to cut Soviet Infantry in two with this deadly device :P

I think this thread has entered the Twilight Zone of OT.

I think the reason it's OT is due to the Pictures and the released tech tree :P. But yeah, it is OT.

It was only the wheeled version of the Flak38 that was removed. Partly due to redundancy, Leig18 and Luchs could prove equally brutal against infantry, but also because of animations. Static Flak38 lives on as an Ostheer defensive structure, so cleaving the Soviets in twain with a barrage of 20mm shells is still possible. ;)

Its just not the same though ;)

An thought the Animations might prove a problem for the mobile Flak 38, still I can always hope to see them as a reward unit or something in the future  8)

its like burro already said,
you can still build your flak emplacements like wehr can build mg bunker
so there is not realy a need for a mobile version of the flak

also you should keep in mind that many units not automatically means great faction or cool gameplay

I'm not arguing with that at all and I get what your saying completely, I just like to see unique units in the game such as the King Tiger/Tiger Ace, Tank Hunters, Fallschirmjäger etc...

Just awesome having unique units in game.

But yeah that's just me it could make gameplay better it could make gameplay worse, but yeah its not my decision its yours so I won't argue with it :)

The Forward Support Center sounds interesting :)
And the InfantryGruppenPost looks very nice!

I am also not happy that the panzerbüchse and the mobile Flak38 were removed. However, the balancer will know it better, especially since there is still a flak emplacements for the moblie flak38.  ;)

Also, I'm very curious how secure sectors with the opel blitz will work.  8)

I don't get the rage over the Panzerbüchse. It is essentially a carbon copy of the Soviet PRTD in game.

I on the other hand much rather would prefer the shieldless shreck in play now. It's unique but offers generalization, like the other two axis armies.

yes i have to agree that the panzerbüchse would a) come to late as it could be usefull, b) looked more like a cheap copy of ptrd, and finaly c) its the early schreck without the shields, isnt that unique enough for you?

but that dosent mean that there is no place at all for this weapon
we have still the campain and maybe another unit will use it... who knows? XD

@fish
as it is an earlyer verion of the normal panzerschreck the stats can be different from the wehr/pe version

THe game treats AT rifles the same as Bazooka like weapons. Historically they are not. The PTRD in game is fine, historically it is OP. Unfortunately the treadbreaker or other crits any AT Rifle inflict are OP in game. For any mod dealing with pre 1943? only AT Rifles would have been available to CW, italians Finns, Sovs, Heer etc.
