ostheer medium tanks

hmm what units share PE and Wehr? right now i can remember only panther tank

[GodlikeDennis]

i think the best way is to have new buildable units and the old one (panthers, tigers, panzer IV) call in as battlegroups

also some group zeal for especially Panzer III could be so that more PIII then they are better and can more easily deal with russian tanks

Going back to this, the group zeal might be quite a good idea. It could represent the Blitzkrieg tactics as well as the excellent radio communication the Panzer groups enjoyed. In gameplay, it would also be interesting to see the weakest MBT of the factions grouping up to defeat more advanced tanks.

I would think the Panzer III would be the MBT for sure in the Ostheer. The advanced tank would probably be in the form of the panther, since these were so numerous on the EF. It makes me wonder where a Tiger would even fit into the faction. Perhaps the Ostheer may have a 5th tier building, which creates the equivalent of vet 3 Wehrmacht tanks?

i think its not a problem to have higher number of tanks, even Wehrmacht got highest number of tanks available so panthers, tigers and more can easily fit into ostheer

the panther is not heavy tank!!!it is medium

[GamblerSK]

to me its a heavy tank...

[Seeme]

Yea its heavy, dont you hear them say "Panther Heavy Panzer coming in" Or something like that.

[GodlikeDennis]

In reality, the panther was classed as a medium tank that happened to be as good as the heavy tanks of other nations.

Ingame it functions as a heavy tank, beating other tanks in field battles and creating breakthroughs.

Got it

[mikronim]

maybe you could give a call-in in each doctrine.... eg.with first doctrine the call in is a panzer IV or two...with the second doctrine you get to call in a panther...and with the third being the heaviest doctrine you get a tiger call in

[Seeme]

Then why would you get the other 2 doctrines?

[GodlikeDennis]

Maybe because everything else is better...

That's not a great idea though tbh.

yes it was classified as a medium tank but Panthers specifications fit into heavy tank role rather then medium...
