British Forces vs. Afrikakorps - My suggestions

Jump back to quoted post17 Feb 2015, 07:29 AMbraciszek

British forces still lack indirect fire and a camping enemy would be hard to beat...

But i guess charge their at guns with heavy armor and mgs with powerful infantry?

Calling it Africa corps wouldnt be the best idea. Ober Komando West and Ostheer aren't historical terms. Simply call it Army Group South to represent the axis forces early in N.Africa and then later in Italy.

African/italian Sp content based on 1943 stuff and the related british and army group south MP factions use 1944 gear and units.

Well imo the Afircan corps army is sligthly to similar to the Ostheer:

For example instead of the HMG 34 or 42, give them the Flak 38:

Flak36 (320 menpower)- 4 men crew eqiped with rifles, 2 of them handling the gun (same as the le.IG 18). Its atak would work similar to the Flak HTs with the diffrence that it would have limited firing arc.

Yes that indirect fire thing is true Maybe we can think about a solution together?

My first thought was using the sniper which should be the strongest sniper in the game being in T2 first and only available in offensive mode. The brits are overall designed as a faction that relies heavily on cover. With a captain/lieutenant they become beasts while in green. So probably it would be a good idea for their pioneers to be able to build sandbags, wouldn't it?

As for infirect fire, how about the land mattress as a static emplacement with limited range but a devastating barrage? Buildable by pioneers during offensive mode? They were only used at the very end of the war, but i dont know much else that isnt already present only with a Commonwealth emblem on it.

Sandbags would be good.

As for the flak mg idea mentioned that would be awesome. A mobile manpower flak with a limited arc.

Land Mattress was like nebelwerfer, not static, and it was never used in Africa

In fact, it's the normal Axis / Allies schtick - the Allies had manpower superiority but mediocre armour, the Germans the opposite.

I agree.
This game are about Eastern Front, but we have WFA , why not another army in EF.
I so sad that we don have new stuff about EF.

I rather they make COH3 on Pacific.

Night Assault, jungle ambush, rain
Numerous, stealth, fanatic IJN vs conventional USMC

or Korean War
The "mighty" US Pershing is like toys to T-34 85


and please NO brit again, don't you have enough blob warfare already in game?
