Ostheer concept by GamblerSK
« on: February 07, 2010, 05:32:22 PM »
Hello so here is my concept:
its not full concept many things must be improved but somehow i must start :)

i start with veterancy infantry which is trained and vehicles, tanks...which are build are gaining veterancy like American troops more kills more experience but units which are called are 3 star veterans as they are called from other front where they gained veterancy
i don't know if there would be better to haw mobile buildings or normal buildable so i don't interest for now


Basic Infantry:
like PE panzergrenadiers which can be equipped weapons can repair or build (since the war on eastern front was mobile those troops are best for this job)
5 man crew all Mauser 98k rifles can get MP40 or Panzerschreck (when is researched)

more specialized infantry 5 man crew: three of them are equipped with Mauser98k two of them Haw MP40 upgrades:Stg44 (the Mauser rifles are replaced by Stg44)
Panzerschreck (the MP40 are replaced by Panzerschrecks)
Panzerbüchse 39 (the Mauser rifles are replaced by Panzerbüchse 39)

MG:
3 man crew (one MG34 two Mauser98k rifles)

mortar:3 man crew (one 5 cm Granatwerfer 36, two Mauser rifles)

sniper:two man crew (Gewehr 43 sniper rifle and one Stg44 with scope)

tank hunters: 3 man crew (two panzerschrecks and one Stg44)



as a scout car should be 39M Csaba as an equivalent of sdkfz 221
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/39M_Csaba

as a light tank could be Panzer 38(t) something like an British M5 stuart or grayhound when its used asap it could change the early faze of an battlefield
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_38%28t%29

as soon medium tank can be Panzer III in some form Ausf. F or Ausf. M or Ausf. N could be equivalent of stug (first usable tank against armor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_III

as a half track could be Sd.Kfz. 251 with upgrades such as 251/7 "Pionierpanzerwagen"
Sd.Kfz. 251/9 "Stummel"
Sdkfz 251/17 - Schützenpanzerwagen (2 cm FlaK38)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sd.Kfz._251

more useful medium tank will be Panzer IV ausf D (like in PE) as a base tank which can be upgraded with:
75mm KwK 40 L/43, ausf. F2
75mm KwK 40 L/48 ausf. H
http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzerkampfwagen-iv.htm#panzer4

as a Heavier tank - this role is best suitable for Panther ausf. D
(1 x MG34 - hull)
(1 x MG34 - coaxial)
the upgrade will be to ausf G which add one MG, 3 instead of 2
(1 x MG34 - hull)
(1 x MG34 - coaxial)
(1 x MG42 - cupola)
http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzerkampfwagen-v-panther-sd-kfz-171.htm#panther

Bergepanther: it primary armament 2cm canon
http://ostpanzer.asty.ru/topics/special_vehicles/bergepanther/i/03.jpg

Call in units:tanks
Panzer VI - Tiger (one at the same time, can be called infinite times)
Panzerjäger - Ferdinand / Elephant (only once per game)
Panzerjager Hornisse / Nashorn (can Haw two at the same time, can call infinite times)
Brummbär (only two at the same time, infinite)
Jagdtiger (only once per game)

call in units:infantry
Stormtrooper:6 man crew all with MP40 can be equipped with stg44,gewehr 41/43 (without scope) panzerschreck,MG42 LMG

fallschirmjägers:5 man crew all Haw FG42 allready (three with bipod two with scope)

Slovak engineers:3 man crew (Slovak troops later in eastern front was doing engineers mostly repairing,building bridges....) they can build some weapon emplacements also thy are good in repairing (better the classic panzergrenadiers)

and more troops which can be called in they are consistending from countries which are occupied by germany or just they collaborate (Hungary,Romania,Italy,Finnish,Vichy France and more) i really don't know how those units were named or what weapons they Haw if from their homeland or German weapons so this is something which must be improved but in every doctrine should be some of these axis units as call in infantry

doctrines should be Offensive, Defensive, Luftwaffe

i don't set prices for each units or upgrades because of balancing this is for developers to do better

i will update this concept in future...

I think it just call it conscripts, and equipped just with rifles. Germans used as cannon fodders, and maybe first unit buildable from the barrack. The scoped mp44 is a good idea, I like it.
