Profile of Tiger Baron

So I had another idea for a new German commander, due to the lighting fast Blitzkrieg tactics of the Wehrmacht used in Operation Barbarossa they managed to capture a lot of Soviet equipment as well as later due to poor training of the Soviets, they had many abandoned tanks and field guns.

Captured Equipment Doctrine -

Captured enemy weapons: Provides Pioneers with a PPSh 41 upgrade, Grenadiers with a PTRS upgrade and the Panzergrenadiers with a DP-28 upgrade.

Liberated people cooperation: Basically the partisan system ability, provides info on the map.

Captured HM-38: Request a Granatwerfer 42(r) heavy 120mm mortar to the battlefield.

76,2mm Artillery barrage: A barrage fired by some captured ZiS-3 field guns.

Beutepanzer 747(r): Calls in a captured T-34 medium tank in German service.

The whole point of the commander is using the enemy's own captured equipment against him. I've also tried to incorporate as much as realism into it as possible, the partisan ability alone is based on how the Ukrainian people treated the Germans as liberators, freeing them from Soviet oppression.

Now I have something for you! Full working building-, damage- and kill-animations! Neutral optics, often tested.

I will make a small testing mod, so you can test it by your own!

Like damn dude you keep impressing me by the phase of this, maybe replace the back part with the one from the 251 repair halftrack with the pioneer sitting on it from the All Units Mod and it will be perfect.

Here's a pic:


Here's another pic I personally took.



Maybe a pioneer could be working on the Panzer IV.

i think the british could use to have infantry focused doctrine. I mean there is some already dedicated to commandos, armor and arty even, but not a single one that would focus giving normal infantry sections something. this is my idea.

0cp, sections can now build and repair emplacements same as emplacement doc. I know lot of people dont use them, but it fits the doctrine in stylewise.
2cp. field officer. same styled as airlanding officer, but is armed with either normal stens or m1 carabines (no particular reason) he would have that combat boost along side offmap mortar he and smoke barrage, it could give some flexibility and ability to support nearby infantry. He could also have somekind of "mad minute" ability that would boost nearby infantry rate of fire for munition cost
0-1 cp: Infantry section support package: Allows rifle section to be upgraded with (upgrade possibilities) bars, marksman kit, which would allow them to do more damage to enemies in cover and fire flares or rifle grenade package that allows one of the member to fire rifle grenades when engaged (like fighting position rear echelons) and fire smoke grenades.
0cp: m4a4 sherman: brittish lend lease sherman available from third bulding. It would be sidegrade for british as bit more durable than cromwell and some diffirent abilities.

lastly precision barrage from advanced emplacement regiment because i think its decent offmap strike to be.

Bringing back some old CoH upgrades for the IS is a good idea but I doubt they'll add American weapons like the M1 Carbind and BARs to them.

Personally I don't like it nor understand it. I mean I don't want 88mm creep like bunker spam is currently, and ideally I wouldn't want a 17pdr clone but I'd take the clone over 88 creep any day. What it is now is just a half baked idea imo.

Agreed, but then again it would not be a 1:1 copy of the 17 pounder emplacement even when "upgraded" with the emplacement because of it's lack of flares, brace and APCR rounds.

So then again my original idea of the upgrade bringing the Pak 43's price up to something like the 17Pdr would not be so balanced, but I'm still all for it losing it's shooting through shotblockers ability, unless it retains it but then again the upgrade really bringing it to the 17Pdr's price.

Balance would be a bit tricky I admit, but I think it's workable with internal testing seeing what's the best approach.

Removing the ability to shoot through terrain and making it a building rather than sudo fixed team weapon still doesn’t warrant the potential of ever getting a 100% refund. The partial refund is a pretty huge buff as it is. 17 pounder is a structure as it lacks range, collisions with objects and also now can’t pick up and move elsewhere. It is really impossible to put the comments of the PAK 43 shock value in a vacuum and call it a unique issue to the unit when the 17 pounder suffers the same issue.

Uhm, my idea didn't involve any "refund" whatsoever, you just had the Pak 43 like it is right now, and if you had the room around it you could "build" an emplacement for a cost, perhaps to make it as much as the 17 pounder.

And yes while emplaced it would act as a 17 pounder clone, sort of but not 100% but besides that it would still be unique and versatile as a doctrinal unit.

And my point is not making it symmetrical but giving it a little bit more survivability to make it actually useful beyond the 2 shots it lobs off after it's found and nuked by all sorts of artillery and air abilities. Literally the only Pak 43s I've had survive until the end of the match were always behind shotblockers and near reinforcement and medical stations, not to mention having my pioneers constantly repair the damn decrewed gun so I don't lose it and then recrewing it with them if again, I hadn't lost it until then.

And what is the point of suggesting it?
Mods said multiple times its not 17 pounder and it will never be, so stop trying to make it into one.

Because of what I wrote above.

And I'd like you quoting them saying it apart from mirage's comment.

And lastly, stop with the personal crusading against everybody unless you wanna get the boot again, nobody here is gonna take your shit just because you had a bad day or something.
