That'd be odd because it'd be redundant with the KT though. Sort of like pfusies are right now actually, but worse because they basically fill the same exact role.

HI guys,
here are my ideas to redesign the "Overwatch- doctrine".
I come back to some good ideas already posted here and add the OKW-sniper (model already exists in the game file). I think the sniper fits perfectly well to the doctrine's theme and would give OKW much needed flexibility in the first 5 minutes. You should have an even stronger start which is the precondition to "overwatch" your territory. (btw there's also an american sniper model which could be used for the "Rifle company").
Overwatch:
• 0 CP: Goliath
• 1 CP - Forward Recievers and Early warnings merged
• 0 CP: Access to OKW-Sniper after setting up your first truck
• 2 CP: SdKfz 223 „Radio Car“
• 10 - (PASSIVE) Veteran leFH 18 Artillery: Sturmpioneers can construct 10.5cm field howitzer emplacements which start with veteran crews and have the ability to overwatch and counter-battery.
Feedback very much appreciated!

Which models do you mean?

Veteran crew LEFH + doctrinal OKW sniper? Not a good idea.

In the "All units mod" you can chose the OKW-Sniper.

Thanks, I'll have a look. And the US Sniper?

Lets remove all snipers. Snipers are bad.

The US sniper has the pathfinder model and the OKW sniper has the obersoldaten model.
No new models sadly.

More like rework all snipers so they have a different role. Like recon, arty/mortar coordination, combat support (maybe like Jäger Light infantry) etc. That could be a itneresting unit to use. Which would be a huge step up from the annoyance snipers are right now.

Let's discuss which abilities these scout snipers could get!
Posts: 857 | Subs: 2
Basically Jäger Light Infantry but less overpriced or at least easier to access.
- Booby Trap territories
- Trip wire flares that give good sight on a bigger area for 20 muni (but not killing models like the soviet one)
- Sprint
- Coordinated fire ability of Ost arty officer
- same cloak as snipers have now
- 2 or 3 men squads
- DPS would be limited to one member of the squad sniping models below 75% and others giving a bit of long distance support with Kar98s, basically much like current J-Light
I like the suggestions but with these abilities we should just trade the Sniper versus the Jaeger Light Inf. unit which should get the "coordinated fire" ability. Would have the advantage that Scavange doc would also get some (much needed) love.
- fast decap speed
I have no idea how that might work out in game but it could be interesting.
Maybe just rework Jäger Light Infantry a bit to make them more worthwhile OR rework the doctrine so it becomes somewhat decent because right now it´s really bad.

Reworked "overwatch-doctrine":
Overwatch:
• 0 CP: Goliath
• 1 CP - Forward Recievers and Early warnings merged
• 2 CP: Jaeger Light infantry (improved version with "coordinated fire ability")
• 2 CP: SdKfz 223 „Radio Car“
• 8 CP: leFH 18 Artillery
Some thoughts about PANZER ELITE
I think this doctrine should give you not only improvements to your tanks. OKW's tanks are obviously the most expensive ones, come relatively late and you will barely have more than 2.
As some guys already wrote a call-in infantry unit would be a good way to give this doctrine some punch in the early game.
So why not give this doctrine a "Mechanised Elite Group": A SdKfz 250 with Obersoldaten. That would give you the chance to get "early" Obers, who can vet a lot better. Considering the high price for this group, spamming would not be possible.
This group would fit in well with the other abilities already mentioned in this thread.
Panzer Elite
•CP2 - (PASSIVE) Panzer Tactician
•CP3 - Mechanised Elite Group (SdKfz 250 with Obersoldaten)
•CP4 - Breakthrough
•CP7 - Tank Commander (improved version with HEAT mun)
•CP13 - Tiger I call in
Thanks for the feedback!

I actually did bring up both these points (in other threads though apparently). Command Panther could perhaps lose the coordinated fire ability and gain a better passive combat aura instead. I'd put Sturmtiger in Special Operations because it fits the doctrine theme way better than the JT. Combination of flares and Sturmtiger is good, but not as powerful.
I think JT is fine in Breakthrough. Perhaps it could go to Overwatch, Breakthrough could be given a Tiger I callin. For variety's sake.

I dunno if people are even realizing they are asking to put the JT in with spec ops flares, which are the best recon ingame imo.
On top of that they want to put the command panther with coordinated fire +25% damage boost to a single target WITH HEAT in the same doctrine. If you can do the math on the cmd panther then you should be able to understand the issue.
