My Ostheer suggestions
« on: February 06, 2010, 05:19:30 PM »
The Ostheer

The main concept is that the Ostheer is a regular army. The germans sended the new weapons to the eastern front, so I think the units would be upgradeable (better gun, armour, etc). The Ostheer can call in it’s most soliders, through the HQ, requisiting from the main Headquaters. All units have winter camouflage.

Buildings:
The buildings might be mobile, like the brittish, but would be a lot of work though.
HQ
starting building, can build pioneers.  Upgrades in this building: advanced repair.

Infantry requisison center
Can build infantry units. Can requsites better equipment for you’re troops.
Upgrades in this buildings: replaceable barrels, MP40, grenades.
can builds grenadiers, MG crew, Mortar team

Wehicle requisition center
Can build Light cars, and armoured vehicles.
Upgrades in this buildings: faster point capture for Csaba, Zimmerit pasture, Armoured skirts, 75 mm short cannon for Pz3, Long 75 mm cannon for Pz4, Panther Battle group call in, Panzerwerfer 42 upgrade.
Can build: Csaba scout car, Panzer 3, Panzer4, Turan command tank, Zrinyi assault gun, Infantry halftrack

Infantry:
Sturmpioneers: upgrades: flamethrower, repair, advanced repair, can cut barbe wire, bulid sandbags
Grenadiers: panzerfaust, MP40, grenades
MG crew: replaceable barrels (increase the rate of fire)
Mortar team: smoke screen, 81 mm mortar barrage

Vehicles:
Csaba scout car or Pz 38(t)
role: point capture, reconnise, detects stealth

Panzerkampfwagen 3
Unit role: counter light wehicles and infantry support.

Upgrades: Long  barreld 75 mm gun, MG on top, armoured skirts

Zrinyi assault gun or
Unit role: early infantry support

Turan command tank
role: coordinates of the armours movement and attack, providig offensive, and defensive bonuses. In the real life the command version of the tank had 2 R4 and one R5 radio, had a dummy cannon to avoid the enemy’s attention. Operational crew was 3 member.

Panzerwerfer 42
Can upgrade the infantry halftrack to panzerwerfer 42. The marriage of the halftrack and the nebelwerfer provides exelent artillery support clearind digged in allies.

Tiger Battlegroup (1 or 2 Tigers enters the battlefiled): Smoke cover, Zimmerit pasture,  88 millimeter gun

There is no retreat – As the Führer’s orders you musn’t allow the enemy to recapcure a milimeter of land that is yours. You must fight even, it’s a suiside. Increase the combat effectiveness for a short perion of time.

, witch can deployed by the player.


Or

Radar Jamming plane (the enemy doesn’t recieve any warnings and the mini map goes black for a short period of time)

Field report (on the mini map, you can see the enemy units icons, or remove the fog of war, for a short period of time.)

Equipment drop (drops weapons and supply on the battlefield)

Field agents (an invisible, unarmed solider enters the battlefield, can scout, and call in special abilities, like artillery strike, or bombing rum from a captured american Flying Frotress)

Ghost division (a large group of fake soliders appear on the map, and can lure the enemy’s soliders)

Suicide fighter (a suiside pilot flies his plane (B Fi-103) to the ground, similar to V1) http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/Luftwaffe/fiesler/images/Fi103australia.jpg

Pak 43/41 76,2 mm AT gun (a powerfull anti tank gun arrives from off-map)

Elefant Tank hunter
(With a powerfull 88 millimeter gun, this tank hunter is deadly and dominates the battlefild. Beacouse it’s haven’t got any mg to defend itself, it has to be use defensively or move with infantry support)

Increased squads: +1 or 2 squad members

Knight’s cross holder Officer support (puts in the squad a Knight’s cross holder Officer. Increase the combat effectiveness of the infantry)

150 mm rocket barrage

Veterancy of the Ostheer
The vet sistem i think would be similar to the panzer elite offensive or defensive vet.

There are not so much, and these are "better than nothing" units. I think it gives a uniqe look for the faction. Technicaly these were Swedish models. These used for support role only, and the name Turan I think cooler, than L-26.
But what do you think about the doctrines?

Why do bother this anyway? Most axis country used german equipment. PE has uniqe units (halftracks, etc.), Ostheer would have theirs. Developers will decide the concept anyway. If this is the only wrong thing in you're eyes, then I think I made a very good concept.

The best thing about creating another German faction is that they still have a vast armoury of interesting weapons and vehicles which have yet to be explored in Company of Heroes.

Exactly!
I've done some research thou, and I haven't find any of uniqe Rumanian tanks. Most axis country bought the licence from germany, and produced their weapons.
