Maybe "Elite Landsers" would have worked?

Elite is self explanatory and Landser just meant "German Soldier" afaik.

the name simply means ober soldiers or soldiers with the rank of Ober. It's really no different then the knights cross holders, it just sounds more Germany.

Why did they not call them "Waffen SS"? What's the big deal? You have NKVD tactics and NKVD commissars and things like this at soviets. It's in the past, it's history. Waffen SS were combat troops. Why invent names? They took part in the war and these camo are resembling to those wore by them.

This has been discussed back and forth. Certain Nazi insignias (Swastika, SS-Runes etc. ) are banned in large parts of Europe and some overseas countries. That aside, I'm pretty sure it would attract the wrong bunch of people.

Back on topic;

It seems that I was wrong. The rank "Obersoldat" actually existed in the German Army but was pretty rare. I speak fluent german and have read a lot about WWII but that rank never occurred to me.

I can see. The laws must be respected, I agree. Though "Obersoldaten" sounds kind of silly even if it does not mean "Ubersoldaten". As "knight cross holders" sounded silly. I would change it like this:

var1 - replace pzgrenadiers name with "schutze" or anithing else and call these guys Pzgrenadiers.
var2 - call them Stosstruppen or Stormtruppen as i was in vCOh.

Both variants sound reasonable.

I think the term "Schütze" fits the "new" Pgren role better ;)

My problem with those is you cannot just change a core unit from another faction suddenly like that. And real Stormtroopers were WW1 rather than WW2.

Do OKW get a panzer 4 or was the ones in the trailer belonging to a team mate? it seems as if they lack a medium tank as the luchs wont take on heavy and medium tanks and the panther might be a little expensive

They get a pair like t-34/85 call in at 9 cp from one of the commanders i think.

Ur medium tank is the jagdpanzer 4.Other than that panther and king tiger.
AT will be puppchen AT gun which available from first building and can be camoflaged,plus basic volks squad can get 1 shreck.

Some others may be revealed with release.

I want a Panzer IV profile, but that won't happen because it's not a stock unit :(

A Jagdpanzer IV profile would be nice too, those are sexy!

I just hope jagdpanzer 4 is not some stug and can actually go toe to toe with su-85.Otherwise that building will have no lategame AT and be underused,save for the possibly epic stuka halftrack.

Also i heard one of casters from relic saying during the demo that the cost of OKW heavy tanks were cheaper compared to their Ostheer counterparts, is that the case

and yeah jagdpanzer IV will be significantly more formidable than a stug since the stug is based on the panzer III chassis and Jagd is based on panzer 4 chassis, Jagd IV also has far more armor and a much more powerful gun

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
