Profile of Tiger Baron

I also made a similar petition to this a bit earlier for the addition of the Eastern Front mod which is basically an unofficial expansion right now to be included as an official one and Relic handing over the development of the game over to the community which is the most making sense move to me, the community keeps developing, improving and fixing the game and Relic gets more money from it without doing much, just like with CoH2 right now.

But sadly I contacted the current CM and he said they can't implement anything or something like that for now because of some odd reason or whatever which is just sad to hear, this game could be so much more only given the opportunity to somebody.

I will try to give a short answer, please PM me if you would like to know more details. I might write more guides in the future though

1st, There are 2 entities just like the 17 pounder emplacement: 1 tank and 1 invisible universal carrier with flame upgrade.

2nd, the 223 toggle ability is based on the opel blitz ability:
"abilities\german\toggle_ability\commander_ability\supply_truck_lockdown"
in combination with an aura based on:
"aura\west_german_auras\siphon_drain_aura_mp".

The HQ Jeep is just like the okw sws truck and a spawn_entity for the weapon rack.

3rd, I added the parachute model in the abp of the jeep: "..\\..\\props\\aef_parachute\\aef_parachute"
The paradrop ability is the same as a soldier paradrop.

Why is that why the flamethrowing tanks are "defenses" and can't move, because they're based on an emplacement?

I thought you could just replace the hull machine gun with a flamethrower weapon and be done with it like with the Churchill, or was it just a design choice for you?

And yeah you're right about the 223, I totally forgot about the Opel Blitz lockdown which I could just use for it instead.

The HQ Jeep tho is gonna have to be able to pack up and move, like the British HQ trucks in CoH.

And lastly alright, thanks for the Airdrop hint, I never actually attempted it for a vehicle but I do remember trying it for the Pack howitzer, or was it adding a crew to the guns I'm not sure anymore.

And yeah I'll contact you if needed, thanks again.

Brilliant as the last guide, this is really helpful since I'm thinking of making a small mod to portray a few of the community suggested changes for the upcoming patches.

I have 3 more questions however:

I am guessing that the flamethrowering Sherman and T-34 in your mod were made in a similar way to the Hetzer tank destroyer?

2nd is the ability to "deploy" or "setup" like the 223 Funkwagen in your mod as well as the "forward" HQ Jeep for the British that has a weapon rack, I'm interesting in using that but for the USF.

Add lastly the air drop ability for heavy weapons and vehicles like the WC51, I'm also interesting in making the Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager a separate ability instead of it being tied to the Stuka but I guess that's a bit easier.

Thanks once again for these guides and your time, cheers.

I have a USF commander idea.
Commander Name: Please stop spamming vs USF commander
Abilities:
1. Sniper at 0 cps
2. Rear echelons gain access to the same charge paratroopers use at 0 cps.
3. Priests, static arty, or caliopes unlocked after major is researched.
4 Riflemen sandbags and mine
5.(fill with whatever)

I think this will cover most of the holes in the USF faction. Snipers will counter mg and mortar spam on tight maps, rear echelon will have more utility, and USF will have good indirect fire.

Just name it USF Meta commander then lol.

But in all seriousness, Infantry Company already sort of covers these, Riflemen can build shit, both Rifles and RE can be armed with the M1919A6, you got Priests which are better than the Calliope currently and that's why Infantry is picked more than Tac Support and Tac Support arguably has the best AA because of the M16 out of all of the doctrines.

I think a little bit more "realistic" approach would be:

Marksman training for Riflemen - Gives the Rifles an upgrade to allow them to "snipe" enemy infantry models, it even has an icon in the game made by Relic, but it takes up either 1 or 2 slots depending on the balance.

RE Flamethrowers - Same as Rifle Company, gives the RE a little bit more "utility" as you said, plus USF lacking a flamethrower by default.

Riflemen Field Defenses - The works, nothing changed.

Priest - because as I already pointed out it's superior to the Calliope, at least for now.

Uhm, a generic 105mm Barrage? Idk.

And just for the record, the USF sadly don't have a static artillery piece like in CoH with the M2 105 Howitzer, but I think it's for the better since the Priest is a hell of a lot better because of it's mobility and generally the gun was a resource sink after the combat was out of it's range so that's why I never bothered to build it.

In regards to coh1>coh2 looks, I think you've dropped your glasses.
