Flammpanzer II Flamingo was different structural wise to the normal PzII wasn't it? Maybe not an upgrade. Possible replacement reward? Could be.

The mod needs a freakin' laser tank, and just because laser tanks dont exist dosent mean the game dosent need one.

I vote for laser tank.

Re: Most wanted tanks?

Oh man, too many choices. May I have a regular Panther so as to not research the different versions of it? I'm from America, just give me a Panzer # 5 with burger and fries. No, I do not want to supersize it, I'm fat enough.

But seriously, I would really like a P-1000 Ratte or P-1500 Monster in the game. Did you read about the projected land speed this thing would have had? HAHA!

While your comment about getting a McPanzer is amusing, your other commments about the German super tanks shows off a disturbing stereotype about Americans. 

Don't worry fellas not all Americans are fat idiots.  It's just that too many are.

Re: Most wanted tanks?


I call it the Lord Rommel syndrome :)

If guy could put the Birsmark on rollerskates and put it on
the battlefield, he would! :)

I'm against Pershing massing, Churchill massing, IS2 massing,
Tiger massing, 3x Elefant thing freaked me out, Kv1
massing...

... Heck. I think KV2 should be capped AND 1 shot only.

Can something be done about that??? :)

SU122 and T34, Panzer4, StuG, sherman massing though...
I am completely fine with :)

I think FlakPanzer should be capped to 2-3 max :p

is that sarcastic or do you know anything about the COMET??
it was a heavy cruiser tank designed in 1941 to take out tigers/panthers but only got to front line in 1944. in tests it proved against captured tigers that it out gunned (17 pounder ap) and manouvered them!!  (built on cromwell chassis)

- Lord Rommel Syndrome : Wanting heavy tanks, more
super heavy tanks and multiple heavy tanks :) Especially
German ones :) (But I suppose it could apply to any faction)

- Comet... isn't that the Cromwell-chassis Firefly?
(Slap a 17 pounder unto a Cromwell tank?) - Reward Unit :)
I'm for it. It's not like it's much different from a Firefly.

Re: Most wanted tanks?

COMET was more heavily armoured than a firefly, so owning a panther and making a match for tigers

everyone thinks germans were superior with armour, but they weren't it was just the way they used them, THE BEST ARMY WOULD BE BRITTISH INFANTRY, AMERICAN WEAPONS, GERMAN OFFICERS..........

Re: Most wanted tanks?

Its not the same German army... the Wehrmacht in CoH are the Western Heer. They used different equiptment in the East, light tanks, early war Tanks, foreign tanks, heavy Tank destroyers, Rail Cannons, fucking Mortars the size of houses... it was a different war, and the Ostheer will be a different Army.

Haha, what are you on about?

Click on the blue writing, then you'll see a Comet made for Company of Heroes, download it, add it to your game, "problem" solved...  ::)

Kinda true.
but are you really thinking about picking one of these big boys?
i thought that would be impossible, because to much
model editing would be needed.

Many people are including the Rail Cannons and Morser Howitzers as support powers...

well yes, but im asking the developers, if it is possible to get this work with huge mortals like the 150mm or the 170 or even the 210mm. or maybe even the karl gerät, mortals which were used on the siege of sewastopol.
-> the propagande weapons of the eastern front.

I would like to know if it is even possible to create models like this and animations which fit pretty good.

Actually you are agreeing with you. But its true, unlike what a lot of people believe, the German armor was not superior to Allied tanks, especially to that of Brittan and France.

During the Invasion of France, the Allied tanks were superior in firepower and armor, but they lacked the overall tactics (everything that comes along with the blitzkrieg doctrine), coordination, and communication ( like how Allied tanks used flags for communication, versus the Germans had a radio in every tank) to be effective.

In fact, during the battle of Arras, Rommel was nearly killed and the SS Totenkopf Regiment was overrun because none of their weapons from either the Panzer II, Panzer III, and Panzer 38t could penetrate the British Matilda I and II tanks.

The only thing that stopped them is that Rommel ordered the divisions anti aircraft and artillery to fire their 88s and 105s point blank into the armor.

It was not until 1942-43 that the popular image of the German juggernaught armored force came to be.

Team work is the name of the game ;)
#18530

Re: Most wanted tanks?

I wasn't saying that we're including Dora or the Karl Gustav... just illustrating a point that the war in the East was different; different vehicles, different time period, different enemy. The Ostheer are not going to be the exact same as the Wehrmacht, I guarantee.
Also, if we were to add in the Gustav or Dora, it wouldn't be a call-in or buildable... it would be a support call in like the V-1, but you wouldn't hear it coming. :P
#18532

Re: Most wanted tanks?

yea, nice to hear that. im not really a fan of gustav or the doraas well. but a single shot would be o.k.. but there were other mortals, more often used and at least a bit more often build.
Also i think the ostheer should get the ability to build heavy mortals/artillerie as the first german faction. compareable to the american 105mm howizer or the 25 pounder.
But doesnt that count as a building?
i mean, is it even possible to modify it BurroDiablo? to make it a bigger for example.. and does it shell still
come out of the "right hole" than .. ?
