Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch27 Aug 2018, 22:23 PM First impressions/thoughts about the Elite Armor doctrine: When i read the changes i was really disappointed. But i have to admit that auto-repair and the new tank commander are really nice abilities so far. Not so sure about the Sturmtiger, i personally would like him to go but i have to test him. But Signal Relay should definitely go; its underwhelming and still to expensive. I would really like to see it replaced by "Panzer tactitian"; smoke would be a great addition for the expensive OKW-tanks. In: Lobby
Thread: WEHRMACHT COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION23 Aug 2018, 20:06 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2018, 11:12 AMStark As much as model 24 grenade looks interesting can you convince me why would it be better/more desirable to use rather than a normal rifle nade? Plus G43 don't fit to german infantry commander design. It's more elite and unique weapon for soldiers and it's already in too many doctrines I think its really hard to revamp this commander because of the similarity to the "Jaeger Infantry Commander" which has so many abilities that could be used for the "German Infantry Commander". Maybe it would be better to revamp the "Storm Commander" / "Festung Armour C."instead of "German Infantry". Especially the "Storm commander" (one of the worst designed commanders imo) could give the faction something new and fresh. Just a suggestion: New "Storm Doctrine" 0CP - Breakthrough Tactics 1CP - Reworked Sturm Offizier (could be useful for Breakthrough Doctrine too) 4CP – Smoke Bombs 12CP- Stuka Dive Bomb 13CP- Tiger I You would have a nice mix of ammo, fuel and manpower based abilities.

Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION21 Aug 2018, 16:38 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2018, 15:47 PMTiger Baron Just for the record the doctrine is called "Elite Armor" and not "Panzer Elite". You're 100% right, i confused Panzer Elite with Elite Armor, my bad. Sorry for the misunderstanding. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION21 Aug 2018, 15:06 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2018, 13:35 PMSander93 I'd put the Hetzer AT into T1 as an Su-76-like stopgap light tank destroyer as an alternative to Rakettens and to open up T1 strategies as an alternative to a Puma to counter enemy light vehicles. But this topic isn't for discussing new commanders. Unless you guys are talking about the Elite Armor doctrine in which case I don't think it needs such drastic changes to become viable. The amount of changes that are necessary to make Panzer Elite viable is certainly debatable. But even in a very conservative redesign the Sturmtiger has to replaced by an another call-in tank imo and the Panzer Commander ability needs a complete rework / improvement. Autorepair in its current state is also not really worth a whole commander slot. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION21 Aug 2018, 13:18 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2018, 12:02 PMStark I suggest to add: 1. some ammo ability - strafe, barrage, smoke or samething like that. Commander is too MP intensive currently. 2. What about upgrade for 251 HT which would make it a ostheer mortar HT? Commander ability stays as it is but add a upgrade that HT can be changed in mortar ht (for X ammo) but looses their core abilities to reinforce and heal. Mobile indirect fire would make this unit better more desirable. Again it would be inspired by PanzerElite concept. But generally imo it's really good commander design. GJ You have a good point in saying that American Soldiers ideas should complemented with ammo based abilities. I also think that the Radio Car does fit a lot better to the Overwatch doctrin. So i would suggest: 1. Panzer Tactitian (imo a must for this doctrine 2. 250 Halftrack Mechanized Group with Obersoldaten (Im sticking here to my idea) 3. Breakthrough / improved Panzer Commander 4. Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer" 5. Tiger I Now you have 2 ammo based and 3 fuel based abilities. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION18 Aug 2018, 09:53 AM 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!

Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION17 Aug 2018, 20:06 PM Sorry for the missed quotation. I just wanted to say that with these abilities it would be better to give the doctrine the Jaeger Light inf unit which should get "the coordinated fire" ability. Would have the advantage that the "Scavange doctrine" would get some much need love too (via the improved Jaegers). In: Lobby
Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION17 Aug 2018, 20:03 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2018, 17:35 PMblvckdream 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. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION17 Aug 2018, 17:25 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2018, 17:11 PMblvckdream 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. Well, that would surely be a very nice addition. Why not give the OKW and US-sniper these abilities so they have a different role as the current snipers? Maybe they could get the "coordinated fire ability" from the artillery officer and some other stuff. My main point is that OKW and US really could use some new units for their openings, and the sniper (regardless of their role) fits well to the doctrine. Let's discuss which abilities these scout snipers could get! In: Lobby
Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION17 Aug 2018, 17:18 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2018, 17:11 PMSneakEye The US sniper has the pathfinder model and the OKW sniper has the obersoldaten model. No new models sadly. OK! Thanx for you mod btw. There are so many units that not exists in the live version. I really hope that the mod team comes back to this units for the redesigns and new commanders. Gebirgsjäger would be an awesome addition for example. In: Lobby
