Question
To play against other people is enough to back up my original eastern front folder or is absolutely necessary to reintall it? 3

Which works pretty much as the PE Panther call in. Because make it buildable, to be capped to 1, just doesnt really make much sense. A two Panzer IV Call-in could also work. 4

The soviets over streched their advance in some ocassions which allowed the Panzer Divisions to overwelm them with more tanks, Im mistaken? But putting that aside, I think what Lord Rommel proposed was to best the allied tanks with coordination rather than with numbers. Quote If you want an alternative to Tiger/Panther, then Loup, what fails in that proposal is that StugIII doesnt win in 1 on 1 against an ISU-152 ![]() In that sense I have to agree with Auch, PzIII could be the equivalent of StugIV, StugIII-PzIV, and a Uber-Tank. That without losing flavor 10

Loup I agree in all of these. *Abou putting the PzIII in the same level than the PzIV: I never wanted an Uber-PzIII Just dont want want an Unter-PzIII that cannot take care of anything by its own. *About the "PzIII Spam": never really crossed my mind, though I liked the Idea of a Panzer Group Zeal. *About more StugsIII than PzIIIs: can be applied with the proper mechanics. Upgrading needs twaking, but can work . Indeed I came out with some ideas if the BergepanzerIII was doctrine specific: -Can upgrade your Panzer IIIs to Stug III(even when they are "still alive") for free. -Can Salvage destroyed PzIII and upgrade them to Stug. -Can Salvage StugIII wreaks and make them operational again. *About the PzIII coming out earlier than the Stug: nothing against it. I envisioned the PzIII coming out around the same time the Stug IV comes out, and the Stug coming out around the same time the PzIV is coming out, for example. Depends on the Tech Tree that the Ostheer is getting. *About the StugIII being COOL but NOT AWESOME: Mmmmm...Still beliving that the OH needs something awesome to finish off the game or to defend it self against Uber-Tanks. Something that is not doctrine specific. I wanted something like a: -Panzer IV Battle Group. -A Tiger call In. -A Stug III Battlegroup. Just my thoughts. 12

Nothing new, Let's not worry about history, he said. Guess that means we can add the Japanese to the OstHeer Allllright... ![]() ![]() About the Bergepz, I complained about it, because when anoyone proposed that the Ostheer could salvage vehicles, everybody complained about it. If you think it can work be guest. Just dont like the idea of making it Unit specific, if thats the case make it a doctrine unit and everybody is happy! About Historical Accuracy, I read ![]() ![]() Perhaps I fail to see what Loup was proposing, but when he said a PzIII with stuart stats...its kinda like wanting to defeat actual MBTs with AT Halftracks. What happens when a Pershing, IS-2 or a Comet appears by then? Quote - Er. No. *I* agree that PzIIIL42 should lose 1on1 vs I Agree that PzIII isnt a good choice on 1-1 but is really necessary to make it suck so badly? Why not using StugIV stats for the Pz/StugIII? Stugs are still beaten by T-34/Shermans still can take enough punishment to be considered efficient by themselves. I mean superior to the Stuart and the Puma, yet inferior to the Panzer IV: thats why I think Stug IV is better analogy. Dont know about stats, but I read that PzIII could take on Shermans and Crusader Tanks (Historical Fact) Loup says I propose to eliminate all the uniqueness out of the Ostheer. Nope, I just pointed out what aspects of his proposal need some tweaking. 13
Ostheer Suggestions / Re: ostheer medium tanks« on: September 12, 2010, 10:14:24 PM »Quote My idea of the Pz3 is a 8 pop Stuart. Pretty much. Now Im completly lost ![]() If not... Remember, What you are basically proposing is to transform a Stuart into PanzerIV-like vehicle. Upgraded Shermans/T-34s can still blow them to hell if they have "stuarts health" and that leaves the Ostheer without an answer to heavy tanks. Another problem with Loup"s concept of a fragile Pz/StugIII is for example: Tank hunters can eat them alive,indeed USA and Soviets are disturbingly effective when taking out light vehicles, perhaps even vulnerable to american MG-Piercing Rounds??? Basically meaning that OH tanks are easily predated by something enemy can deploy rapidly in high numbers .The concept is good but has too many flaws, what the point of giving them cool abilities and upgrades is they are destroyed by something the other player can obtain without much effort? The switch betwwen PzIII and Stug can be corrected with further work ( thoughI would rather see them as separate vehicles that share upgrades as PE grens). For the PzIII I like the idea of specialized upgrade, But when making them like zippo packs that will blow up almost instantly when shot by bigger guns. It seems a bit pointless to me... In that sense I think historical accuracy must be put aside... 14

Well I was not against giving a main spot to the StugIII what I meant is that I was against in removing the main spot out of the PzIII.
I just dont like the "recovery" idea. Everybody complined when anyone proposed to include a recovery/advanced repair unit into the Ostheer because it would be "removing the uniqueness of the Panzer Elite" And because seems a little too specific: A repair tank that will be aimlessly wandering the battlefield, waiting for a PanzerIII to be cracked open for then to enter and into turn it into a much cooler vehicle? Not buying it for two reasons: It is an almost complete waste of resources for the almost the same price you can have another PzIII, another vehicle or even a StugIII (I dont know if you gave them any cost cost, but for balance reasons I belive it must somewhere near there). Secondly, if recovering PzIII is the only thing that it does, sound a bit useless a in the practice and to make it a repair vehicle spells like Panzer Elite, And I think that is somewhere you are not desiring to go Bergetiger is cool because is not unit specific, and can recover anything you or your allies can deploy. If BergePanzerIII is that specific, perhaps as doctrine unit but doesnt convince me for being buildable. I think I made my point... Also I have my doubts about the "Upgrading into StugIII" system. But it seems solid enough for giving it a shot. Quote It's like saying he doesn't want USA to have Sherman, From the very beginning, I agreed that there was no way a PzIII could take down a T-34 or whatever. And still as far a I know Panthers still beat the crap out of Shermans dont they ![]() I also agreed that to fill that gap in the Ostheer strategy, a good tank destroyer/assault gun should be included. StugIII is a great candidate for the job, it was an awesome vehicle, the pinnacle of "PzIII evolution". I just dont agreee in some the ways you are including it, that is all ![]() 15

Im not quite convinced of transforming PzIII into Stug III. Ii see making them as different vechicles makes more sense to me. FOr example: make the Pz III available in T2 and the StuG III available in T3.
Use the same system that The Panzer Elite uses when making upgrades: Stugs and Pz"s have a "Group Zeal" like bonus and for example if you make a research that allows you PzIII to fire AP rounds so can the the StugIII. The difference between the two is that I see The Stug more as a tank destroyer than a breaktrough tank and the PzIII is a multi-role tank, that is why is a MBT. Just my thoughts |
