Just went through a Steam topic where someone was complaining about the pay2win attitude of Relic when I found an interesting screenshot.
The poster stated he did it while watching a video (probably Twitch/Hitbox?) and it's about an upcoming commander called Ambush Assault Doctrine.
Has anyone more informations about this? I saved the image but somehow the thread was deleted by Valve (OP in fact did insult Relic very bad so maybe that was the reason, lol).

Here's the screen:



Unfortunately it is very blurry but I managed to decrypt some of the text.

2CP - Tank Hunter(?) Package
(???) grenadiers(?) can be upgraded with (???) hunter(?) packages

4CP - Recon Overflight

6CP - StuG II Ausf. E Assault Gun

7CP - Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer Tank Destroyer
Light Hetzer tank destroyers can be ordered onto the battlefield(?)

8CP - Light Artillery Barrage


Hetzer would be GREAT. Loved that beast in CoH1.
Does anoyone more about that?

It says German grenadiers can be upgraded with tank hunter packages.

Seems that way, although I don't know how useful that would be considering you'd be sacrificing 25% of your anti-infantry ability for it, as opposed to expanding it with an LMG or G43.

Sorry but without a source this really means nothing. That can be photoshopped in half a minute.

Things to consider: The graphic for the hetzer does is not similar enough to other call-in preview graphics: It is too large and has a camo applied to it.

And another commander for Ostheer? Also unlikely, because that would mean more commanders for the soviet factions as well (they are supposed to have the same amount of commanders).

If there are going to be new multiplayer commanders with ardennes assault then the US Forces will get some (obviously) and so will the OKW. Not Ostheer.

Oh man, I loved the Hetzer in CoH1. Cutest lil' Tank Destroyer ever. Hopefully it keeps its weird stealth mode ability (even if it was a bit silly sometimes).

Source was http://steamcommunity.com/app/231430/discussions/0/616189106510681981/ but seems like the thread is dead.

Yeah probably new commanders after Ardennes Assault will be for OKW/US that is definitely true :(
Hopes and dreams somehow crushed haha :/
But maybe it's just some thing like the no step back commander for the soviets :)

I'd be surprised if it wasn't simply photoshopped.

Why?

Because grens shrecks make as much sense as giving penals mosin nagat upgrade-it simply makes none.

And yea, no source also means no creditability.

Relic said they weren't going to cease support for the existing factions. Just because OKW and USF are out doesn't mean the old factions are going to be completely abandoned.

This is the company that made a doctrine based around Conscripts with PTRS's. The worst AT weapon in the game on the worst scaling infantry in the game.

Looks interesting, but, the best off-map OST can have is stuka dive bomb, light arty is plain bad. Hetzer is a welcome addtion! Great stop gap machine, hope it have decent frontal armor.

Stuka takes too long, I prefer Light Artillery.

no smoke warning, instant kill on any emplacement, sound warning simple too late for your opponent when in teamed game, recon+stuka=no B4 or 152 in the game whatsoever, stuka only costs 160 munition meanwhile IL-2 attack needs 200 munition.


still prefer light artillery? Anyway you have it.

You wait about 6 seconds after click, then 5 seconds after siren. Unless you're attacking a static target or a bad player, the juiciest targets don't stand around for 11 seconds especially after the alarm sounds. The lethal AOE is also surprisingly small, 6.4 square meters, roughly the area of a USF Fighting Position.
