Buildable Arty for the Ostheer?

[Blackbishop]

If the Ostheer were to include a buildable artillery piece or a mobile infantry gun such as the 7.5cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18, would there be any problems with recrewing?

The same as the soviets .

Well then the Wespe makes more sense than LeFH, though id like to see them both...

[vonhaggon]

Well, as widely used on the eastern front as the wespe was, i dont see why it shouldnt be in the game as a buildable, docrinal,or bonus unit. It should have its place in the game somwhere.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Lord Rommel come out with his idea for the Ostheer that included a Flak 30 2cm infantry gun? Wouldn't that get hit with the recrewing bug or is it simply a redesign of a former unit?

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

Well. Think we discuss here about artillery for the Ostheer

@Griptonix: Jeah. My old concept used a 2cm Flak but this is irrelevant because this is an old concept. When i wrote this concept i wasnt informed about this problem.

All in all i think this recrewing problem is no reason for adding or not adding an artillery gun. There are other ways to reinforce such a gun. Think of the red army! A ZiS anti-tank gun near a foxhole and u can reinforce your gun crew. Think that such a method would work for the Ostheer, too.

Yeah thats right. So i think that both LeFH and Wespe should get their place ingame. One as buildable emplacement and other as a doctrinal call-in. P.s.: did i saw word foxhole? ...i didnt seen any such structure in EF, maybe there is some new stuff, or is it just another name for Outpost?

[cephalos]

flak 30? Is it this gun in Saving Priv Ryan?

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

Jeah. Foxhole is the outpost. Think that this was the first name for this structure 

@Cephalos:
Jupp. U can see a 2cm Flak 30 in "shaving privat ryan" ( i dont like this damn movie... ).

"shaving privat ryan" XD
Göbbels would be proud for that film.

Field unit (Like the American Artillery unit) that would be awesome!!!

What?!?
If you watched shaving private ryan or basically any world war two movie made recently you would think that the Germans were a bunch of little girls when it came to fighting. There are only a few movies that do the Germans even close to justice. I dont think the  Reich Minister of Propaganda would be very pleased with that movie.

[Seeme]

He was being sarcastic...

[Comrade1]

In my opinion it  should be mobile to counter soviet infantry and katiushas (don't know the spelling).

[GodlikeDennis]

Nobody seemed to pick up on the fact that Rommel misspelled saving by calling the movie "Shaving Private Ryan". Should've called it "Shaving Ryan's Privates" .

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

Jeah. I hate this damn movie and so i call it "Shaving Privat Ryan" xD
When german soldiers would have fought like u can see at this movie the Wehrmacht had never win against poland.

So; Back to mobile artillery!
Ostheer need something to crush down enemy defence by indirect fire. Think that is a fact everyone know.
The main question is the firepower or the power of Ostheer's artillery. Should it be like a standart mortar or would it be possible to implement something stronger without destroying faction balancing.
