Sdkfz. 9 - famo 18 ton halftrack+10000000000000000000000000000000
Please tell me the 20mm emplacemnet soldier is just a placeholder. I hate Relic's vanilla fantasy skins.Yeah, it's a placeholder.
Once researched the upgrade, will be able to heal and also will retain it's role as builder unit.Sdkfz. 9 - famo 18 ton halftrack+10000000000000000000000000000000
AKA. YAY!!!!!!
P.S If you upgrade the Halftrack to the medic station can you call in another to build or is it still capable of doing so?
but if you can call it only once... what if it gets destroyed?
But remember, this vehicle doesn't carry weapons and you are only able to call in one at a time.if it gets destroyed then simply call in a new one.
but if you can call it only once... what if it gets destroyed?U could call an other one ;)

What I don't understand yet: Will you start with 2 starting units?
If so, this unit, the common Ostheer-infantry (Landsers) will be in some way weak. Shame. I hoped they'll be some badass ass-kickers like Vet2 Grens from start on...
good idea, because as far it was nigh impossible to cap faster than SovietsWhat I don't understand yet: Will you start with 2 starting units?

Anyone said that this starting soldiers are weak.
Perhaps they had two squads to represent german offensive fighting during the first time of the ambush against the red army ;)
Will be hard for red army when germany had two squads for caping sectors from the 1st minute of the battle. This will be the first problem for the reds ^^
Why on Ostheer 20mm Flak 38 Emplacement we can see British simbol?

So, the Sdkfz. 9 can only build and repair, or can it capture strategic points? cuz the Reds have 2 type of units at he HQ, and 2 of them can capture, (and also they are not that weaklings), but the ostheer have the repair-building Sdkfz. 9, and a weak, capureable squadOstheer will have two squads. Soviets engineers are weak. when you get one engineer ostheer gets its builder unit(perhaps some seconds later) and both will build their first building... It doesn't matter by that time that you have two "weak" units for capture and the enemy two "decent"(let alone engineers aren't until upgraded), what matters is that you will start capping from the begining, while soviets have to recruit their stuff. And Sdkfz. 9 won't be able to capture points.

One point i dont understand; Why do u think that the Landser are weak oO We hadnt said that this soldiers are cannon fodder. The interpretation of this squads is the idea of a strong early ambush of the german forces.

Are they equal to Tommies then?
any chance you can use "umlaute" for the buildings?
i dont want a "schutzen war camp" i want a "schützen war camp"
i am not crazy about it but it would be cool
Eh the point is that in german "schutzen" means "defend" and "Schützen" is a kinda soldier.

Eh the point is that in german "schutzen" means "defend" and "Schützen" is a kinda soldier.actually the word "schutzen" doesn't exist in german language, while "schützen" means both "to defend" and "shooters". like revoluzer said ;)

Thats just the English translation, in German it would sound totally different

Well. The english name is a compromise between the german word and the wish that this term sounds more english like for the "english people" ;)
E.g. the "Schutzen War Camp" will be named "Infanterie-Gefechtsstand" - but this would be to heavy for the english version xD

German alpha names are:
Infanterie-Gefechtsstand
Panzergrenadier-Gefectsstand
Panzer-Gefechtsstand
But this could change ;)
Always the same "Gefechtsstand".+1
What's about "Garnison" in german it's a place where a group of units is gathered.
Panzergrenadier-Garnison
for "Panzer-Gefechtsstand" you could use "Panzer-Kommandozentrale" or "Panzer-Kommandoposten"
Can we give to Landsers MP40 or MP44 or FG42 or Gewehr 43 or MG34 or MG42 or PzShreck or Flamethrower or something new?? And they will have abilities like Pzfaust, or grenade or something new?
Other units will fill those roles...Only Kar98k? Sounds very simple. Is it this certain 4 man-squad with 2 Landsers wearing helmets and the other 2 only caps, uniform somewhat between green and grey (like the real uniform)?
Hartkeks is still about, he's doing his best to find time to animate. It's a lot to ask one person to do, some of us are going to learn how to get the animations working in game to speed things up.
Also, our Ostheer models this time round are high quality. They'll have more parts attach to them, so juggling the animations for each vehicle is a much larger task than what we did with the Soviets.
I have just 1 more question (I think) about Landsers. Can they repair? I mean bridges especially, cuz I love the maps with bridges, but if only the haltrack can repair, then you should enable to have 2 of them.
I wonder if there are any ostheer vet infantry squads that use MP40s only or mixed up with K98ks? COH seems to down play the significance of MP40s. even though they are easy 2 use, MP40s were not only given to 'newbie' grunts, but even elite infantry like the waffen SS and falscimjager used them before StG44 was available. In fact,during the early stages of WW2,infantry combat was based around the MP40 squads providing cover 4 riflemenI agree. I don't know if they were as widely distributed as you think but I do think the fact that they are automatic should give them a bit more supressing fire in the ostheer.

Read some books, man - MP 40 are nothing ever close to PPSh in means of accuracy, reliability, rate of fire, you name it! :-*
Nowhere is the PPSH mentioned....No one is saying it isn't a phenominal sub-machine gun. Germans picked it up and used it frequently because when they needed them there were always plenty of them on the ground :PI wonder if there are any ostheer vet infantry squads that use MP40s only or mixed up with K98ks?

No need to be an ass. What I meant is that MP 40 can't be made even more effective, than it is right now, for that would look plain stupid if it overpowers PPSh. Obvious, isn't it? Just takes a little thinking - try it for a change. ::)Just takes a sense of humor - try picking up on the blatant sarcasm for a change ;)

Are you serious? I said that the Germans often picked up the ppsh because they thought as I do that it was a phenominal sub-machine gun. Then I added that when someone wanted a ppsh there were often plenty lying on the ground, because you do know that the soviets took a large number of casualties on the eastern front right and often when someone dies on the field of battle, they tend to drop the gun that they were using when they were alive. Honestly, this is insulting to anyones intelligence to have to go through this much trouble to explain a simple concept.
IJoe, what are talking about mate? He simply said they were more widespread than CoH represents so the Ostheer should have more troops using MP40s. He didn't suggest that they increase the combat effectiveness of them, or that they're better than PPShs. Obviously the Soviets did have many of them on the ground because Soviet industry allowed whole battalions to be equipped with it. By all accounts, the Soviets took huge casualties on the Eastern front, as did the Germans, and there were loads of them to be found.
There was nothing inflammatory about what he said.
OK, I admit I was wrong, and strew ashes over my overheated head. I bring him my sincere apologies, and promise you all, I'll try to be more patient and attentive, while reading others' posts.
