Great skins! That would be awesome to put in the mod.

BTW, I played my Friend CoHO, and found out that you can have two Tigers at once! But the Tigers can't have vet, this is a good idea for solving the "Tiger problem". It's awesome commanding a Tigergruppe in the multi.  ;D

Before OF came out you could get 2 tigers and 2 pershings. They got vet normally as well. Those were the days...
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

You know what , COH uses vehicles whose existence is'nt confirmed , so it really is'nt about anything
Which unit do you doubt about its existence?

Bergetiger for example ;)
The Bergetiger is a topic for itself.
Out of my view the "Bergetiger" of the 508. sHeeresPzAbtl. arent Bergetiger; the crane looks too weak for repair jobs.




Yes i'm talking about the bergitiger , and i proposed its substitution with the sd.kfz 9 repair HT


But it seem "No one paid attention" >:(


And if the devs are not planning to substitute it then why so?

I'd rather have the Bergetiger replaced with a Bergepanther reward unit. It's faster, well-armored and well-armed (dual MG42)... plus it actually existed.

Your Famo would probably serve better as a T2 doctrinal vehicle repair (not recovery) unit for the new faction. But then again, maybe not... since Lord Rommel had practically declared it verboten:-\ Es tut mir leid. Mehr Glück beim nächsten Mal, mein Kamerad.

Werewolf, it might of have not existed. Could just be blue prints or a prototype.
The Russians think there sooo tough, wait till the Ostheer comes...

Prototype? Which vehicle?
Bergepanther was in use.
18t Halftrack ( SdKfz. 9/1 ) with crane was in use.
So the only "prototype" is the Bergetiger - and u know what
i think about the "Bergetiger" - it is no "recovery tank".

And why devs should do it? Just for realism... I don't think that the bergetiger needs a replacement(the Bergepanther would be the second choice ;)).

Well , i don't know why did Relic even include such an unit whose prototypes were found on the field , even what was found was'nt confirmed , that what was it used for ??


The allies just found a few converted tigers with a hook and a crane , and there is no concrete evidence that ot was used for repair and recovery!! :o

Yes... the winch looked too unwieldy and ineffectual for heavy-duty work. Perhaps it was more of a munitionsträger or minenleger? I reckon that 8.8cm rds. and mines were the only things that contraption was capable of carrying. Or maybe the winch was for tearing down small roadblocks.

Tigers don't usually have to worry too much about roadblocks.

Good point. As far as I can tell, no one actually knows what it was supposed to be used for. I'm also guessing it was a field mod and not a "one-off" or even a prototype.

Here's another baffling German design.

Jagd[tiger] is a buildable replacement for the Kettenkrad... It can cloak and cap points. :P

Just annoys me that the sloppy russian curators have their hands on it. If it was in an American or British Museum I bet there'd be a lot more info on the darn thing, like what it's made of.

It's bad enough the Russians took over so many countries after the war, but they friggin took all the prime historical equipment for themselves too, and they don't even care for it properly. They barely document anything, they don't allow enough research into the stuff and they barely even care at all about the stuff.

The idiots captured a few pristine Auto Union D-type racecars at the end of the war in an east german mine shaft, and took them as war booty. They were eventually found in a scrap heap. These are also the same idiots that burned the Amber Room.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Room#Destruction_theory
The Russians deny it of course, but then what else is new. These are the same people that "were not responsible for the Katyn massacre"  ::)

Utter and complete idiots. I just thank god that a few competent curators like the folks at the Imperial War Museum and the Aberdeen Proving grounds have amassed sizable collections of ex german equipment to preserve and document properly for future generations.

That looks freakishly similar to the APC from Aliens.
