No Panzer III?
Posts: 85
Does anyone else feel that a panzerIII/II would've been more suitable for the "mechanised assault" commander than just a cheap STUGIII E replacement, because it kind off looks like they wanted to add a lighter tank with good AI (similar to T70).
So lazy that they didn't give DCE buyers for free, when they didn't even add any real new units/models/ or even unit responses ...

There existed in the game files attributes for a Panzer III that was added sometime around when Case Blue ToW was released. There are no models or other assets for it in the current CoH2 archives, but it seems it was planned for the Ostheer, just never quite made it in.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to open the game files, so I cant verify that the files are still in the game.

I found this on reddit, about a year old.

It's still there, using Panzer IV model.

Also, there is actually a (currently unused) voice announcer line for Ostheer that talks about a Panzer III. It can be found on YouTube (some video about "unused audio in CoH 2" or sth...)

I like to imagine the Panzer III to come in a commander along with the Motorcycle. Early war eastern front germans had that whole light vehicle thing going on, right? I think these 2 units could represent that theme. I know I saw a bunch of photos of the german army advancing thorugh vast plains on the Eastern front with Motorcycles, so it would be a nice combination IMO.

This? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtDNG3nJPL8
The Jaegers are still in the Wehr unit list in the mod files but are using the OKW Jaeger models, same goes for the OKW, they got Stormtroopers that are using the same models, wait, aren't the Stormtroopers and Jaegers all using the same models?

Actually, Jäger, Stormtroopers and Panzergrenadiere all use the same model! There's just two different skins for it.
As for the Panzer III, I don't think there's a model, just several attribute files. It's the same with the M2 60mm mortar, I think. There's a working M1 81mm mortar, though! The M1919A4 has a model, but it looks pretty bad.

Skins? Huh, so that's why they looked the same in the Editor, I was kinda confused about that, heh, lazy Relic.
And yeah I know about those, as I said I have only see the 50mm gun that was supposed to be on it, as well as the models of the M1919A4 and M2 60mm mortar, the M1 was in Ardenness Assault.
But that video sheds more light on what could have been tho, especially for the OKW since most of the stuff mentioned there is basically already in game but not used, as far as the Wehrmacht goes... a few of the abilities and units are from the Urban Assault, I've never heard of the others, well, except for the Panzer III of course. Oh yeah and the Soviets with their Not One Step back commander.
Interestingly enough there were planned combat groups like in CoH where you would get random vehicles and infantry units, those were fun to use when you had the man power for them and went Infantry Company.

Why do you hate fun and unique units?
You wont see this shit in War Thunder.
Love Hotchkiss, but I really want PzIII to be in this game somehow and it was 1 of the most used tank in both west & east fronts...
If they bring Hotchkiss, no chance for PzIII to come out
And who can't like this beautiful tank.
