Take a wee gander at WartyX's avatar. Looks like a variant of the Volksgrenadier icon. An icon for the Ostheer maybe...? Methinks something big is coming...

maybe...but it might also be a concept which just he played around with in his spare time. I don't think that the devs would really add anything too similar to WH's Volks in the OH release :P
-
You think they are mere Volksgrenadiers? What an insult! I think you are looking at the wrong end of the unit spectrum.
-
I think it is the cap instead of helmet what mislead those boys - my guess, it is a Gebirgsjäger with rope coiled around his shoulder :D
-
Depends on what you think, it may be sooner then you, it may be later then you think. And I cannot say which one, because my mind-reading skills are still in development.

ha ha Ostheer lol i just hope de release patch 1.05 (1.10 or wot ever) bfore i die
-

Yeah I thought it was because of the cap too, but I wasn't really betting on them being Volks since the devs don't like copy-pasting. :P it might be a Gebirgsjäger, Brandenburger or even an Einsatzkommando(!) lol. No one knows for sure 8):o whatever it is, I'll just keep my fingers crossed ;)

Warty, I have a confession. AM a hacker and I know all about you cruel plans to make the obsteer a joke and make many ef fans cry! :o
Lol Jk :D
Wartys icon is a pioneer and rizz is the basic inf.
-
Wartys icon is a pioneer and rizz is the basic inf.
Wrong... :P
-
Well, for me WartyX's icon is a sniper/sharpshooter and rizz one looks like pioneer. We should do a gamble :P about this and the winner gets!!!! a ban for smartass ;).
-
One of those guesses wasn't even close. The other was almost there.
-
Well, I think that most important thingin WartyX's icon are those binoculars ( or whatever it is) on the hat- IMO that suggest some kind of motorised infantry, or engenieering troops.
Rizz's avatar has freakin' shadow on face added to black or dark helmet so I think he is one of this dirty SS guys ( that's not offence Rizz).
-
Wrong again ;D
-
Hmm some sort of officer? :)
think thats M43 wool field cap :P

That's not a shadow, that's a german toque, sorta like a balaclava.
-
On WartyX cap I can't see Totenkopf so that's not SS. Well, M43 was used by almost entire German Army, but this camo on the jacket... Well, let's say that's Gebirsjaeger. Wrong again?
-
Lol. Nice thread ;D
Guess the Ostheer by admins avatars ;D
That will be funny when admins start to exchange
their avatars when one is solved by the community.
-
I think Rizz's is some sort of engineer/mechanical unit for repairs and such, based on the very mechanized look.
As for WartX's, I'm leaning Gebirgsjäger (for those who don't know that basically means "mountain hunter" or mountain soldier. They're the equivalent to the US' 10th Mountain Division) based mostly on the rope and the goggles, however I do not see an edelweiss on the side of the cap, but I don't expect that much detail on an avatar.
My two cents,
-Nathan
-
Based on Lord Rommel's avatar I belive that the Ostheer will come from a galaxy far far away and will be very OP.
The death star will be the msot powerful late game unit. It would be broken but awesome.
-
I'm also for WartyX's avatar being a Gebirgsjäger, however I'm not sure about Rizz's. First I thought of SS or something along these lines, too. But now... :-\
However, this is what the community needs. Not exact release-dates or facts carved in stone but little things like guessing-avatars. The DEVs don't give away too many facts but at the same time we're excited about the Ostheer and the upcoming patch. (If these "avatars" will be featured in the OH at all... Who knows? ;))
;D @ SavageWorld's guess.

LOL :P
...that would also mean that they'd add another hero unit to the Soviets in 1.05....YODA ;D ;D ;D
-
Speculation is all nice but it is WAY too early to make any realistic assumptions. Even we don't have an idea of of a possible time table...and even if we did...it would probably never actually be followed LOL.
To sum up, we have NO time table and if we had one we still wouldn't tell ya about it ;)...but its defo NOT soon in any sense of the word
Keep it real :P
-
Hehe here's conspiration theory: maybe those avatar pictures is only a way how devs are playing with our imagination boys, maybe it's just preparation graphics with actually no assigned units - and now devs are watching reactions and assign unit pictures according to those reactions lol
-
Mabey thats rude to get my hopes up! >:(
-

I have to hand it to them though, it's a good PR strategy...since it's keeping a lot of people (myself included) at the edge of their seats, literally frothing at the mouth: "Ostheeeerr...Ooostheeer" lol :P
-
In which case....shall i really fuck with you guys and throw on a 3rd avatar?
-
Perhaps the Ostheer will have a Mounted Llama unit?
-
Shush!!!
-
Perhaps the Ostheer will have a Mounted Llama unit?
n also a 1 unit which will take 2-3 months to capture a fuel point 8)
we will call it a LATE UPDATE UNIT ::)
just kidding he he
-
You can hardly blame us for grasping at straws. We don't exactly get a lot of info from you guys. It's been a month and a half since
"Don't worry, we will post some real news soon..."
In such an environment, is it any wonder rumors and speculation run rampant?
-

That really really hurt :(
-
That really really hurt :(
He's just teasing :)
@all: rushing things will not help this mod so please be patient. Don't you all remember how first release of EF [1.00] was unbalanced because it was rushed out? Do you want a good playable mod which take some time to make or you want a quickly made unbalanced mod with bugs which then no one will play?
...Some things just take time, patience gentlemen!
-
And it took a week to fix right?
I rather have it rushed out then wait. Hehe

I thought those were called Panzer Grenadiers? :P
-
EF already has a mounted Llama unit. His name is Rizz. ^_^.
Just kidding Rizzy, love you. :P
You know. Judging by what this assumption is based on... I'd say you also thought there would be another big game realise when you saw a fan made poster. ^_^.
If the president draws a big white flag does that mean War is over?.. :D :P
-

I rather have it rushed out then wait. Hehe
Hehe you think it was fixed with [1.01], [1.02], [1.03] or [1.04]? Even when I'm sure that devs sincerelly do maximum possible to create balanced Soviets, it is a long run... take Relic f.e. and PE how long they took to balance it. And result is that PE is NOT 100% balanced even now. Not to mention Brits...
Balance is important - and here is where community could help, play EF and try various strategies, approaches and then write a feedback. There is some hardcore yet small group of players playing EF -> be patient, play EF and write any good feeback possible. Only this way we could help devs to make progress. :) Not by rushing them and asking when finally the patch or Ostheer will come.

Well at least now we can easily follow progress on twitter. Awesome!

I think Rizz is nothing, I think he just took a Grenadier, darkened the cap and put some sun glasses on him.
Would be neat if there were Gebirsjaegers, but I don't they'd be useful in the heart of Stalingrad or on a Siberian steppe.
-
Oh no the based on Dragons signature the Devs are going to Add....... Santa Clause! With is army of scuicidal gnomes!
-
I think Rizz is nothing, I think he just took a Grenadier, darkened the cap and put some sun glasses on him.
I can confirm that "my" unit is NOT nothing.

So it is a real unit? Not just you making a Grenadier look cool and using it as your avatar.
I'm too lazy to make my own post. One of our 2d artists did these (WartyX to be precise) for Ostheer Units. That includes the one I'm using. If it's the final version or not, I don't know.
Rizz

They have said that it is stupid to write balance suggestions so close to the release of the next patch.

I can see where you are coming from, but I actually didn't use the Grenadier to make Rizz's avatar at all.
-

Yes I didn't mean only this short period before new patch but continuous effort. Because some players stopped to play EF due to balance issues and I meant: if someone cares about this mod he should play it and write feedback. If someone stoped playing it means he doesn't really care about it...

I havn't played in awhile, I meant stormtrooper.
-
actually, this (http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=1124;type=avatar) does look like freakin sunglases ;D
-> pilot / luftwaffe with usal glasses.
-> or its just for fun a soldier with sunglasses :D
-> third possibilty would be that its some freaking badass
guy/troop, which just has a kick-ass image.
-> mechanic
-
Maybe a soldier from a Motor Reconnaissance Unit? who knows ??? Anyway keep the good work up :D.
-
Neither are mechanics or any type of engineering unit. Neither are your basic infantry either. In fact, I doubt anybody will be able to name Rizz's unit.
-
Are they even a part of the Ostheer? :P
If it is a part, than is it perhaps a driver of a motorcycle or something like that?
Cheers
-
The Ostheer is always subject to change, but these guys are on our current unit roster.
-

LOL, and if someone does, Rizz would most likely swap his avatar and keep people guessing ;D ;D ;D
-
I see something which looks like a black leather overcoat...
OMG, Her Flick und Her von Smallhausen are recruitable XD
-

I do think there was a guess in the thread what was really close.

Yeah ::). I can't imagine what unit could be Rizz' avatar... could it be skijäger?

I guess something like this than ;)
-
So here's a list of our guesses so far ;D
bold ones are possible the rest has already been ruled out ::)
WartyX
Volksgrenadier
Gebirgsjäger
Brandenburger
Einsatzkommando
pioneer
sniper/sharpshooter
One of those guesses wasn't even close. The other was almost there.
some sort of officer
Rizz
basic inf
pioneer
SS guy
engineer/mechanical
pilot / luftwaffe
Motor Reconnaissance Unit
some freaking badass guy
I do think there was a guess in the thread what was really close.
Dragon93
Mounted Llama
-
And the guess game continues who shall win the grand prize?! :P
I think its an entirely new unit no?
-
very nice list by the way this is getting really interesting now :O
-
hmmm
Rizz´s icon could be:
- mortar unit
- Sturmpioneers
- MG 34 squad
wartyx could be sort of:
- demolition unit
winner gets ef fan edition pack signed by all defs!!
-
Rizz's could be a Paratrooper. Luftwaffe Pilot----> Luftwaffe paratrooper.
-
We need a new forum: "Pointless Speculation"...

Bishop if these are Skijäger then the Devs are stupid, which they aren't . Ski-jäger would be wearing white camo, not black, so they could blend in with the snow and/or mountains. I think that they are Fallschirmjäger or perhaps some kind of Luftwaffe Jäger Squad. I heard that the 4th Luftwaffe Field Division had Jäger regiments in them.....
-
oh man... why some people just yell without reason...
Two officers from 1. Skijäger-Brigade on the Eastern front in the spring of 1944, note the special Skijäger cap badge
(http://www.axishistory.com/fileadmin/user_upload/s/skijager-brig-officers.jpg)
Two soldiers from the brigade, one with Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) and the other with MG42 in January 1944

Well, speculation over! My avatar is the Panzerfusiliers announced in the Latest Sneak Peak Series of Ostheer (4th).
