Hmmmmm.... seems interesting enough. But the fact you can only call it in once seems...weird, especially since its for 2 inferior Tigers and for 5 cp's :(. If this were to be implemented I would say raise the # of CP's and change the # of times you can deploy it. Or its cost. IDK.

Edit: Actually I take something back. It was stated that the Tger in Ostheer would be inferior but if this was to be implemented then perhaps they will not be inferior :P

4CP? ROFLMAO

No... Back to the drawing board.

I don't see the problem with 4 CPs. And anyway the cost can be changed. My main point here is the idea in itself. And maybe it could be called in more than once. But not at the same time (i.e. When both tanks are destroyed).

You don't see a problem with Tigers at 4CP? LOL

Regardless, ridiculously high cost abilities have no use in the game. Nobody except bridge map/compstompers will save up that exorbitant amount of resources. By the way, OH tanks are called in from off-map when they are built, they don't come from the building.

Would it be possible to make an abilety like the thread breaker (or whata hell its called XD) but for the turret? You fire a focus shell on the enemy tank so the turret gets damaged so they cant move it.

 It can shoot and all, but dont move. So it have to move the entie tank to that direction it gonna fire? :D Like an Stug ^^
I like the idea but think a destroy main gun critical would be better. This tactic was used by 38Ts and PzIII's in 1941 and 1942 to overcome T34's and KV1's

For the mg34. How about an abilety that cost like.. 50 - 75 ammu? And that makes them deploy the mg immedialy ? Well maybe not like that fast. But in 1 sec?

It should only be active under like 30 sec?

My English is kind of useless. But that because Iam swedish Wooohoooj! ;3

[...]It was stated that the Tger in Ostheer would be inferior but if this was to be implemented then perhaps they will not be inferior :P
where was said that OH tigers will be inferior? did i miss something? i didn't find anything about it in the official OH sneaks.

i guess they will start with decreased stats (like all OH tanks) but then get normal stats on 1st vet and some buffs on the other vets.
devs please correct me if i'm wrong ;)

You're right about decreased stats in the beginnig (rookie veterancy), furthermore it was said sometime in the past that OH Tigers are supposed to be slightly better Panthers.

Yeah I may have said something like that in the past. OH Tigers will likely be closer in performance to Panthers than the Wehr Tiger. It will be focused on AT more (since it's taking the role of the Panther as a buildable unit) whereas the Wehr Tiger is mostly focused on dominating infantry.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

i think what GodlikeDennis means is that OH Tiger will be a tank killer like the OH panther and not an inf killing machine like the WM tiger. this makes perfect sense to me as the OH Tiger replaces the panther as buildable unit (after unlocking that in the doctrine tree). so it will simply be an improvement to OH panthers without changing the general style (AT and not inf killer) of the unit.
