Unit suggestion thread:

@eyas
The problem with that is, tanks don't use proper crew. So, you cannot just tell them to abandon the vehicle, however we can spawn them (see jagdpanther bug).

In this case we could spawn infantry at the same vet level than the dead tank, but they won't have the kill record that the tank had because, they are different units. Besides, unless we use scar code I guess, we cannot make the tank just spit out it's crew when reaching 10% of HP but only when is dead.

And the main reason is that this not fit CoH at all.

Here is an interesting take on the JP/crew bug:

• When a tank crew is spawned allow it to "cap" and recrew the "White Tanks". Whether these tanks are wrecks at start or a manifestation of the "White Tank Bug" that occurs with the BergeTiger doesn't matter.
  
• The recrewed tank could be from an opposing faction.
• The crew should have low hitpoints and no special abilities except capping. Armament should be side arms only.

I realize this will not likely go anywhere, but the notion has a certain appeal, it is in vCoH and EF, and we have all seen pictures of captured enemy vehicles.

Sound too like MoW.

sounds interesting for a new unique game mode (like red tide/blitzkrieg). but as blackbishop explained it does not fit into regular vCoH.

Well IDK if this idea will happen but if Im correct there a little "easter egg" where you destroy Tiger, Jagdpanther, or KT, a special grenadier squad pops out with special names. They are obviously defenseless but its fun to see . I think its being removed next patch so tr it quickly .

[Mr.ious.Q]

Guys the Blitz mod has release the new Mobelwagen, you should check it out.

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

why should we use the möbelwagen in the ostheer if we have already a flak upgrade for the halftrack?
right makes no sense

[Mr.ious.Q]

Guys, about the Ofenrohr Truppen i think after the modernization they should have the MP-40s or maybe K98 or better if you can do it is the MP-18 SMG.

Because i think that the Lugers won't help to protect the squad in mid-late game since the Strelkies get access to PPShs or DPs that will be alot of troubles for the squad.

[Blackbishop]

@Mr.Q
They use luggers because at the moment we designed were at a special 2x1 promotion .

Don't know, they are supposed to be terrible against infantry, hence they got luggers.

[Mr.ious.Q]

Oh, you mean this one

quite portable.

I think the Erma or Bergermann MP-35 would fit better, MP-18 was made in World War 1 and abandoned after the war when the allies took the weapons and designs.

And call me stupid and oblivious, but what are the Ofenrohr truppen? They weren't in the video were they?

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

no but they are t1 units^^
but they werent ready to show so they will be in the next video

[Sommarkatze]

The mp18 is sweet :> But I vote for c96 pistols.

[BurroDiablo]

And call me stupid and oblivious, but what are the Ofenrohr truppen? They weren't in the video were they?

AT troops. They begin as Panzerbusche zug then progress to Ofenrohr (early Panzershreck) zug after Gruppen Post modernisation. Their gear isn't ready yet and it's the gear that makes them which I why I think they weren't shown.
