- Panzerjaegers (AT infantry, build:?, ability: Focus for improved Accuracy, upgrade: Panzerschreck)

worst ability ever

why? it's nice to have high accuracy with AT weapons and hit even moving targets

Plant Feet!: Experienced British Troops dig in and fight, rapid firing their Lee-Enfield rifles in a "mad minute"--30 rounds or more in rapid succession. This focus on rapid fire lowers their accuracy slightly, however.
Modifiers: Cooldown 0.5, Accuracy 0.9. Based off of the Fire-Up! ability.  15s duration. Costs 15 MU. No exhaustion period. 90s recharge time.

Grit!: Grit your teeth, Soldier! Your troops hit the deck and army crawl, making themselves harder to hit but sacrificing their ability to return fire while they grimly crawl towards enemy positions.
Modifiers: Received Accuracy 0.75, Morale Rate (Suppression Recovery) 1.5, Weapon Range Modifier -34. Based off of the Evasive Maneuvers ability for the Axis tank crew from the ToV campaign. No cost. No cooldown. On a toggle, as per a standard Camouflage ability.

Unholster Sidearm!: The squad Sergeant will unholster his M1911A1 .45 automatic pistol and fire two magazines of .45 caliber ACP ammunition at the selected squad before reholstering his pistol and continuing to fight with his primary weapon.
OR
The Feldwebel will unholster his Luger P08 9mm automatic pistol and fire two magazines of 9mm Parabellum ammunition at the selected squad before reholstering his pistol and continuing to fight with his primary weapon.
Modifiers: N/A. Squad leader uses an accessory weapon pistol. Based off of the Panzerfaust ability. No cost, 30s cooldown. Targets tp_squad.

[...]

1) "Heavy Panzerbuchse Team"
Ostheer already has Ofenrohrtrupp for AT. the combination of AT gun AND smg means AT AND anti-infantry. makes the squad too powerful, as they can battle everything.
or if tuned down too weak.

2) "Ausländische Aufseher" (literally "Foreign Overseer")
sounds like british officer

3) "Pfadfinder" (Literally "Pathfinder")
like recon squad from british, just with 3 members. ostheer will have kübelwagen and landers for scouting

conclusion:
there is a summary of the ostheer concepts. if you want to make suggestions to fit into it, please read this first.
and try not to make so many "copy-past" suggestions, like 2) or 3). try to give those units something special to make them different

Urmm I recall reading that Blood Lust was now interspersed between the levels of Veterancy (between 1 and 3) instead of being shoved in between getting Vet 1 and Vet 2. May just be old information though...

i wasn't sure either, but i could only find that quote about veterancy

I just noticed that the "blood lust" thing was removed, right? 

How would you notice that? There was no spoiler made.

[...]Ostheer veterancy is achieved by combat, both armoured and infantry based troops follow this rule. Every time a unit reach the first level of veterancy, you will be promted to choose one type of upgrade from tree. After you choose the first vet level, the following vet levels will be automatically loaded from the first vet you choose, in example(not related to actual OH upgrades):

You get three upgrades: more speed, more firepower, more endurance. When you select more speed at vet1, when you get the other vet levels, you will automatically get vet bonuses for more speed only... so you should choose carefuly what upgrade you get because that unit will stick with it until it dies. This applies for every combatant units in Ostheer.

Ostheer units have four vet levels:

* Regular -> vet1
* Veteran -> vet2
* Senior -> vet3
* Elite/Ace -> vet4 (Elite for infantry, Ace for tanks)
[...]

guess because of this

from moddb:

These are the foreign armored units that will be used for the Support Army Tree.
From left to right: Zrinyi II, Panzer 38(t), Carro Armato L6/40 and Semovente 47/32. The vehicles need to be skinned from scratch and animated.
Thanks to BurroDiablo for making these models.

Red Army Suggestions / Re: About the Soviet MG station.

« on: June 02, 2012, 11:38:51 AM »

DS-39 was designed to replace the Maxim, but it was a disappointment. it was only 2 years (1939-41) in service. only 10.000 were built compared to 600.000 maxims.
the replacement for Maxim was the SG-43 Goryunov (produced since 1943), using that one would make more sense.
the link you posted is from the 1946 version (postwar)...

why do you want to see the maxim replaced? it was a typical soviet weapon in WW2, it was developed by an american-born british weapons designer and built under licence in russia...
