WAAAAAAAAAY to many choices dude :P also I want the panzer .5!!!!

Post by: BurroDiablo on January 08, 2010, 06:05:20 AM
I voted Panzer II Ausf. C, Panzer III Ausf. L and Stug III. Actually, I can't be sodded with the Stug III, but since there was no Panzer 38(t) in there, I voted for it anyway... as it would have been my 4th choice :P

Also... Panther Ausf. F? None saw combat, so I doubt that'll get in, and accounts of whether the Kugelblitz was ever used are sketchy. Speaking of Balls, the Kugelpanzer would be a fun addition ;D

I voted for the Sturmtiger and the Elefant...I'm sick of short-dick PE-like vehicles that can't even properly stand up to a Sherman on their own. :'(

Post by: luz777 on January 08, 2010, 01:24:40 PM
haha, but then 'PE shouldnt even be considered a faction' should they chancellor :p   i voted stug III, panzer III and elefant. Im also with burro on wanting to see a 38t, i think the smaller axis tanks are somewhat overlooked in coh.
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G. on January 08, 2010, 02:28:43 PM
Tiger II with Henschel-turret, heavy Sturmgeschütz Ferdinandt ( Elefant ) and Panzer III Ausf. N with 7,5cm KwK L/24.

( Plz; not again Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger :'( - they are western front units!!! BOTH )

 Pz38(t) is interesting tank, but in 1943+... ?
 Same with Pz1, etc :)

 As for Lord Rommel, he'd like nothing more than to have
 6800x 300t+ Axis tanks at the beginning of each fight. Each
 elite, each indestructible, each ultra uber powerful with mega
 long range and ultra high rates of fire :)

 - I want Wespe to be in the game. It should have been
 in-game before the Hummel if anything.

 - And, I know they said wouldn't change original factions,
 but, ah, if could change the 105mm Priest (British/Arty)
 for a sexon with 25lbr, I'd be happy :)
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G. on January 08, 2010, 07:10:55 PM
I will see heavy tanks but no heavy tank that wasnt at the eastern front ;)

Elefant would be cool, because it is a symbole for one of the biggest battles on earth ( Kursk ).

Panzer III Ausf. N would ne cool, because it is a cool support unit for heavy units and with special Hohlladungsgranaten ( hollow charge anti tank granates ) he is able to fight against tanks ^^

And Kingtiger with Henschel turret would be cool because the Porsche turret is SO UGLY ( and the Porsche turret had a construction misstake which cost some tigerman their life... ).

Honestly except for the Bergetiger, the PE has NOTHING that the Wehrmacht can't do better.  I'd rather have vet3 grenadiers over panzergrenadiers or vet3 flamers over fallschrimjagers any day.  And compared to Wehrmacht vehicles, the PE tanks / vehicles are a joke...just look at the Hotchkiss.  For those pussy-tank lovers, ladies and gentlemen; the PE Panzer IV stubby tank is NOT the infantry killer the noobs think it is.  When you face the Airborne RR mob, it lacks the range to kite and the health points to engage...an Ostwind does the job much better.

Therefore, PE brings NOTHING to the Axis playing table.  I just hope the Ostheer will be different.

We have Allied Pershings and Kangaroos and Soviet IS-2s to deal with and people are voting for early Panzer III tanks?  Hell even the Panzer IV has some trouble with a Sherman.

 - Chancellor : I think USA, Brits, PE, Soviets and OstHeer
 cannot possibly be as good as Wehr. We should thus remove
 all those factions out and only do Wehr vs Wehr battles.
 Then it would all be about SKILL !!! :) And no one would
 say anything about lack of balance :)

 But then, people would say White is better than Black, or
 Black is better than White... (Chess mentality) :)

 - Lord Rommel : Oh, I'm fine with Elefant (should be called
 JagTiger, and JagTiger be called the JagKing, but, eh)
  ... but only one at a time, yes? I saw a proposal saying
 to do a call-in (3) of them at a time :p Ack!!

Haha, quite.
I don't play CoH online nor really taking gaming that seriously so people complaining about all this percieved lack of balance is quite funny to me.

As for people voting for "pussy tanks" I think most people want to see historical units that were used and have as thus been overlooked for an axis side. Or maybe its just a conspiracy by "noobs" to upset hardcore CoH players??  :o

You would probably have been better off not having so many variations as options, e.g. just the Panzer II.

Then go back and hide in your skirmish games and don't talk about MP balance with people that actually play online.

With that, I'm done here on these forums.  Just gonna put my faith in the devs on the balance.

Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Aouch on January 10, 2010, 03:24:10 PM
Voted Elefant, StuG III and PzKpfW. III Ausf. E.

However, my full list would be those:

Elefant, Tiger I, Panther, Pz IV Ausf. H, Pz III 3.7 cm KwK, StuG III Ausf. G, Pz 38 (t), Brummbär and perhaps Nashorn and JgdPz IV.

I think Ostheer needs at least one German early-war tanks like the Pz III to kill those freaking T17, Stuarts and T-70.

Also, no Sturmtiger, Jagdtiger or whatever. Maybe for campaign, but not for MP. I really hate those German Elite units in CoH... (Except Tiger I and Elefant!)

Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G. on January 10, 2010, 10:36:51 PM
I think Panzer III would be great because it is not a light tank, it is the german medium tank! It is a quiet good tank ( russian militairs said 1940 that Panzer III is better then T-34 Prototype - after this they reworked T-34 xD ) which can fight in many roles!

Normal version as alrounder. Longer 5cm ( L/60 ) KwK against vehicles and 7,5cm L/24 against infantry ( and here perhaps as ability the hollow charge anti tank granates ).
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Loupblanc on January 11, 2010, 04:55:26 AM

 What Rommel means is that KT and Maus are more fun
 than Pz3 because they are not light tanks :) They ought to
 be brought out at same time as PE brings out Kettenkrad
 because, well, because... germans are Uber! Yeah! :D
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Alexander 'ApeMen' J. on January 11, 2010, 02:52:56 PM
I wish for the final eastern front (including the Ostheer), that of the königstiger of the Wehrmacht will be exchanged by a königstiger (henschel)
and immediately switches to the Ostheer.
The Wehrmacht should then get the Jagdtiger.
Otherwise, I hope for the Ostheer of the elefant and the wespe. with a panzer III also had something.

No. You dont understand me!
Heavy Tanks are important for german armoured troops
because they are a symbole for german late warfare.
BUT Kingtiger is the end of this armoured warfare!
Tanks like Sturmtiger and Jagdtiger are western front units and a tank like the Maus or E-100 is not an option for company of heroes.

So i think the Ostheer have to found a compromise between heavy and medium/light tanks.
Heavy weapons like Elefant or Tiger II should be a fear factor on battlefield but the mainpart of the armoured troops should represented by one of germanys mainbattletanks like Panzer III oder Panzer IV.
Both could deal with T-34 and infantry so both are able to fight against russian mainarmoured.

So i would be happy to see a Panzer III as medium standart tank and some heavy tanks for the doctrins.
I would not be happy to see JAGDTIGER, STURMTIGER ( western front units ) and MAUS, E-100 ( too heavy - unbalanced - unreal - crazy ).

 EvilSpike : Anything change with Wehr won't be done,
 because the scope of this mod is to add new factions -
 not change existing vanilla ones. Otherwise, I would ask
 DEMAND that British Priest can be replaced by SEXON!!!
 Replace Churchill-AVRE with reward unit Bishop :)
 Priest 105mm replace Sherman Callioppe (Reward) or
 105mm Howitzer (Reward). And...

 it's not much different from what YOU ask ;) Is it?

 The... annoying? thing is that Wehr was done as a sort
 of penultimate of all german armies thrown into one. The
 VolkGrenadier aren't young/old people, etc. It'd help if
 could dilute/rebalance Wehr and redistribute... Hmm.
 
 Well, Iron Cross is a good idea as to what I mean, a lot.
 Please take a look at it :) / Now, without changing Wehr,
 it becomes a whole different ballgame.
 
 Lord Rommel : no, KT is not the end all :) JagTiger is :)
 Elephant is a Jag Tiger.
 JagTiger is a Jag... King Tiger.

 Just like ISU152 is a jag IS2 :)

 And just admit it. You just want land-Bismark BB as
 starting unit :)
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G. on January 11, 2010, 09:38:26 PM

 Lord Rommel : no, KT is not the end all :) JagTiger is :)
 Elephant is a Jag Tiger.
 JagTiger is a Jag... King Tiger.

...

Oh man! What is wrong with you?
The Elefant is the Elefant, mounted on the chassis of the Porsche Tiger.
And JagDtiger is the Jagdtiger, mounted on the chassis of the Kingtiger-Version.
And Kingtiger is the armoured end at the eastern front.
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: luz777 on January 11, 2010, 10:20:45 PM
Personally I'm with Lord Rommel on the axis armour for EF. Theres no real need for including all the uber axis tanks that are included in CoH plus those that arent (Sturmtiger and Jagdtiger).

I'd like to see the heavy tanks be the Elefant and Kingtiger (that way I can swap the Wehr Kingtiger for Mr. Scruffs brilliant Jagdtiger but still have a KT in game). It'd be cool to see the Ostheer backed up by medium tanks like Panzer III's and StuG III's, with smaller tanks like the 38t and Panzer I.

Cheers

Post by: Loupblanc on January 12, 2010, 08:06:33 AM

 - I still think JagTiger could be called JagDKing and
 Elephant/Ferdinand ought to be called JagDTigers :p
 Oh well.
 
 ... Panzer1 ? Panzer 2 before Panzer 1 !!! LOL

 I know it needs Wespe though :)
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Ryousan on January 12, 2010, 08:17:44 AM
Lets have in count there must be some tivy historical accuracy, because sending Panzer Is and IIs against T-34 and IS-2 is kinda ridiculious.

About the whole Jagdtiger issue, the problem is how to include it, as a doctrin unit or how? Because if we are already including Tigers and Elephants we are giving too much heavy armor to axis.

I suggest to include the Jagdtiger in the Ostheer Campaign to put it in some use.

Off topic: Im the only spanish speaker of the forum?

But not so ridiculous to send one after infantry targets or light tanks or soft targets.  Not all tanks have to be used as mainline units.  Would you send a Stuart against a Tiger or a Hotchkiss or Puma against a Pershing?

Perhaps the Panzer I could be used as a sort of super jeep.  Only LMGs but good armour against rifle fire (but not AP machine guns).  Like a puma but much earlier on, smaller and much less firepower.

Well if you have the 38t theres no real need for a Panzer II...except as a reward unit  ;)

I do think the Wespe needs a place somewhere though.

As GI John said you obviously wouldn't send light tanks against heavy tanks...or would you?  :P

3 Hotchkiss vs IS 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woIed66mA6E#normal)

And if you talk about realism then the Jagdtiger should not be included in the Ostheer, as stated on the last page it was a Western Front Unit, give or take maybe one or two late war engagements.

Perhaps the Panzer I could be used as a sort of super jeep.  Only LMGs but good armour against rifle fire (but not AP machine guns).  Like a puma but much earlier on, smaller and much less firepower.

My thoughts exactly  :)

The Panzer I and II were outdated when the Operation Barbarossa started, the mainstay of axis armored forces were the panzers III, to deal against against infantery and soft targets they relayed mainly in halftracks and armored cars.

 yea. I could tolerate Pz3 at worse, even throwing in
 an update improving it's gun (L)(J)? if needed (75muni?)
 But, ahh...
 
 Pz1 ? Nooo way.
 
 Pz2 and Pz38(t) are stretching it. ALTHOUGH I know they
 were used early on. Vs T26's and BT's :) (Must get those
 in-game, lol). Ok, make a deal. Allow 'em as reward units
 if T26/BT make it in too :) Deal? :)

Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: GeneralSatan on January 13, 2010, 08:53:09 AM
There is only 1 tank on my mind, and it is not even listed: Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (Sd.Kfz 205) Only deployed against the USSR near the end of the war, it was by far larger than the King Tiger!
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Aouch on January 13, 2010, 02:18:59 PM
... and never used.
Get over it. Maus is just unrealistic, dumb and doesn't fit into the Ostheer, same on Sturmtiger and Jagdtiger.

Furthermore I fully agree with Loup. No Pz I. Pz II maybe, but Pz III and Pz 38(t) fit by far better into CoH.  :)
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Ryousan on January 13, 2010, 02:34:16 PM
Panzer IIIs are a must have if we are talking of the Ostheer, about the early Panzer models, im not quite sure...they were outdated even by lightest of russian armor I even read somewhere that the Stuart had a bigger gun and better traits that the Panzers I and II.

Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: luz777 on January 13, 2010, 02:52:46 PM
Aye the Stuart would easily be able to take on a Panzer I or II, the idea for the Panzer I would be as a scout and anti-infantry unit though, like a tough bike, or Bren Carrier type of roll.

I can't really see the need for a Panzer II unless its the Flammpanzer "Flamingo" varient, again used to kill infantry.

Just because its a tank doesn't mean it has to be used against other tanks. You'd never attack a Panzer IV with a Bren Carrier, so why attack a T-34 with a Panzer I?

As for the Maus, noooooooooooooooooo.  ;D
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Ryousan on January 13, 2010, 03:02:12 PM
Im not suggeting that Im dumb enough to sent a light tank against a Heavy Tank, Hat im saying is that there are other kind of vehicles that were more fit for the role of scouting or skirmishing.

But I see your point.
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: BurroDiablo on January 13, 2010, 03:14:58 PM
Panzer II would be a light tank capable of taking down infantry, its gun would be much like a Puma's. It doesn't need to be the flamingo version to take down infantry, it had enough killing power against infantry on its own. 2 of these things grouped together would quickly turn conscripts into matryoshkas.
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Loupblanc on January 13, 2010, 04:26:21 PM

Flammpanzer II Flamingo was different structural wise to the normal PzII wasn't it? Maybe not an upgrade. Possible replacement reward? Could be.

Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Loupblanc on January 13, 2010, 09:20:01 PM

 I'm totally for flammpanzer. Pz2 in the Puma role :)
 Reward unit? I'm fine with that. As long as it has high fuel
 cost (Crodocile vs Sherman , for example). (Well Pz2 compared
 to Sherman Croc, smaller unit, less fuel of course) :)
 
 ... as long as it is HOT CANDY PINK! :)
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: luz777 on January 13, 2010, 09:39:43 PM
Aye its those two mini-turret things on the front corners, plus it still has and MG-34 in the main turret. It was designed foe the Eastern Front but the armour kind of let it down.

Reward units are awesome haha, so many more possibilites.
Speaking of the Panzer I, was the model Mr.Scruff (RIP) made ready to be used, along with the Sdkfz 11 halfrack, Armoured Car and Kubelwagon?

Or will they be made again from scratch?

But seriously, I would really like a P-1000 Ratte or P-1500 Monster in the game. Did you read about the projected land speed this thing would have had? HAHA!

While your comment about getting a McPanzer is amusing, your other commments about the German super tanks shows off a disturbing stereotype about Americans. 

Don't worry fellas not all Americans are fat idiots.  It's just that too many are.

 I'm against Pershing massing, Churchill massing, IS2 massing,
 Tiger massing, 3x Elefant thing freaked me out, Kv1
 massing...
 
 ... Heck. I think KV2 should be capped AND 1 shot only.
 
 Can something be done about that??? :)
 
 SU122 and T34, Panzer4, StuG, sherman massing though...
 I am completely fine with :)

 I think FlakPanzer should be capped to 2-3 max :p

it was a heavy cruiser tank designed in 1941 to take out tigers/panthers but only got to front line in 1944. in tests it proved against captured tigers that it out gunned (17 pounder ap) and manouvered them!!  (built on cromwell chassis)

 - Lord Rommel Syndrome : Wanting heavy tanks, more
 super heavy tanks and multiple heavy tanks :) Especially
 German ones :) (But I suppose it could apply to any faction)
 
 - Comet... isn't that the Cromwell-chassis Firefly?
 (Slap a 17 pounder unto a Cromwell tank?) - Reward Unit :)
 I'm for it. It's not like it's much different from a Firefly.

COMET was more heavily armoured than a firefly, so owning a panther and making a match for tigers

But the Soviets aren't facing the Brits... what's unfair?

Besides, Rule #1 of this mod is 'We are not modifying the existing factions' - funnily enough, Brits are an existing faction.

everyone thinks germans were superior with armour, but they weren't it was just the way they used them, THE BEST ARMY WOULD BE BRITTISH INFANTRY, AMERICAN WEAPONS, GERMAN OFFICERS..........

Its not the same German army... the Wehrmacht in CoH are the Western Heer. They used different equiptment in the East, light tanks, early war Tanks, foreign tanks, heavy Tank destroyers, Rail Cannons, fucking Mortars the size of houses... it was a different war, and the Ostheer will be a different Army.

Haha, what are you on about?

Click on the blue writing, then you'll see a Comet made for Company of Heroes, download it, add it to your game, "problem" solved...  ::)

Kinda true.
but are you really thinking about picking one of these big boys?
i thought that would be impossible, because to much
model editing would be needed.

Many people are including the Rail Cannons and Morser Howitzers as support powers...

well yes, but im asking the developers, if it is possible to get this work with huge mortals like the 150mm or the 170 or even the 210mm. or maybe even the karl gerät, mortals which were used on the siege of sewastopol.
-> the propagande weapons of the eastern front.

I would like to know if it is even possible to create models like this and animations which fit pretty good.

Actually you are agreeing with you. But its true, unlike what a lot of people believe, the German armor was not superior to Allied tanks, especially to that of Brittan and France.

During the Invasion of France, the Allied tanks were superior in firepower and armor, but they lacked the overall tactics (everything that comes along with the blitzkrieg doctrine), coordination, and communication ( like how Allied tanks used flags for communication, versus the Germans had a radio in every tank) to be effective.

In fact, during the battle of Arras, Rommel was nearly killed and the SS Totenkopf Regiment was overrun because none of their weapons from either the Panzer II, Panzer III, and Panzer 38t could penetrate the British Matilda I and II tanks.

The only thing that stopped them is that Rommel ordered the divisions anti aircraft and artillery to fire their 88s and 105s point blank into the armor.

It was not until 1942-43 that the popular image of the German juggernaught armored force came to be.

I wasn't saying that we're including Dora or the Karl Gustav... just illustrating a point that the war in the East was different; different vehicles, different time period, different enemy. The Ostheer are not going to be the exact same as the Wehrmacht, I guarantee.
Also, if we were to add in the Gustav or Dora, it wouldn't be a call-in or buildable... it would be a support call in like the V-1, but you wouldn't hear it coming. :P
Title: Re: Most wanted tanks?
Post by: Venoxxis on January 18, 2010, 06:23:12 PM
yea, nice to hear that. im not really a fan of gustav or the doraas well. but a single shot would be o.k.. but there were other mortals, more often used and at least a bit more often build.
Also i think the ostheer should get the ability to build heavy mortals/artillerie as the first german faction. compareable to the american 105mm howizer or the 25 pounder.
But doesnt that count as a building?
i mean, is it even possible to modify it BurroDiablo? to make it a bigger for example.. and does it shell still
come out of the "right hole" than .. ?
