As far as the 250 goes, I meant the model with the pak 36, also called the "sniper halftrack".
Oh, I know, I'm just saying that the base 250 models are almost identical, so it wouldn't look strange if an imported AT 250 were placed next to the current CoH2 250, nor should crewing it with CoH2 infantry models have any sort of scaling issues.
I read a book not long ago called Panzer Ace by Hans von Luck who was first in Rommel's 7th Panzer Division during the invasion of France in 1940 and later with him again in Africa and he actually wrote that the Italians fought pretty well.
And it's something I've also read from other sources as well about Rommel even commending the Italian divisions in Africa, as well as the cavalry ones on the Eastern Front.
Lions led by donkeys, as it were. That, and Italian Materiel was pretty rubbish.
I expect the Italian Army might have been fairly threatening if it had a better doctrine, and access to better equipment.
it dont have much aoe in the shot and scatter sucks unlike for example a p4
I just checked the statistics, and you're right! For whatever reason the M4C has some pretty terrible scatter/AOE stats. I wonder why? It's basically just a slightly worse t34/85 in most respects, isnt it?
And I mean they could just use the Soviet M42 45mm AT gun model since they're pretty similar.
Just needs to be reskinned I'm guessing, if it were only that easy.
Well, the M42 IS just a soviet copy of the Pak-36, so that's probably doable. The recoil mechanism looks a little different between the two guns, but I don't think it's anything noticeable. Retexture the thing and you likely couldn't tell it wasn't a Pak-36.
Or alternatively just port the 250 model from CoH.
Given that the CoH2 250 model is almost exactly the same as the CoH1 version (Except for a couple of pieces of stowage, and a couple of vision slits... and the Textures, obviously) this is also likely doable without looking even slightly out of place.
Again, the only impediment being Relic preventing such asset importation.
Ok, maybe i am wrong, i almost never play soviets, so dont know all the comanders. But does radio intercept says name of the unit enemy builds?
A little ticker pops up on the side of the screen every time the opponent builds an unit, and when you're facing OST you also get a slightly garbled voiceline (The same one the OST player gets when an unit is built, but with more static.)
You get the ticker when OKW builds an unit, but no voice lines, I'm afraid. Its an unresolved issue (I'm not sure if distorted OKW lines exist, I don't think it's a filter applied to the lines, they're actually separate sound files)
They only ever mounted a 50mm Pak 38 on the 250 from what I remember as an experiment.
Oh, yeah, sorry, that was a Typo. I meant 251/22, and having it as a potential doctrinal upgrade for the nondoctrinal 251 as an alternative to the Flamethrower.
The Sd.Kfz. 250/10 would also be an option, the PAK-36 doesn't exist as a model, but a weaker gun in exchange for the improved mobility of the vehicle would be a fair tradeoff.
