Ostheer Veterancy concept

Ostheer Vet System

Infantry

Infantrymen received for the continued survival of your a veteran status.
This is graded. Each of the infantry squad has already survived 4min gets 1st Vet. After 6 minutes, he is 2nd Vet.
The special thing about it after Vet 2, the automatically veteran system stops here and the inf hitherto only been more resistant.
To get to Vet 3 the infantry squad have to destroyed 3-4 full squads enemy infantry. After this the squad get the iron cross to earn a bonus damage.
Should a squad received the iron cross even before the 10th minute, he has merely classify the damage bonus but not the better resistance of the first veterans.
they are only after the 10th min unlocked.



Tanks

for tanks, I have another system provided

Tanks receive no automatic veterancy!
A tank is replaced after 2 vehicle (whether tank or half-track) 1st veterancy (Panzerkampfwagenabzeichen Bronze).
From now on, the tank only received Veterancy against enemy tanks!
After 3 more tank kills he receives 2nd Veterancy (Panzerkampfwafenabzeichen Silber).
4 kills later 3rd Veterancy (Panzerkampfwaqgenabzeichen Gold).
Instead of the small points which indicate the veteran status should be there, each of the badges.

A little extra
The Panzer Panther, Tiger and Elephant still have a 4th Veterancy.
After the 15th destroyed tank they received the Knight's Cross.
this should be a special ability to be unlocked which is made available only veteran 4th


the potential capability here is freely debatable

Can`t believe this - I was just going to make a topic with the same suggestion :)
I love the time/veterance idea for inf,  the whole "survive the Eastern Front" approach.
one note dough, I can hardly imagine any tank (even German) destroying 15 vehicles - a bit to much, hmm?-but for that bravery they should get a lock-down with increased range

How bout 12? Quite possible for a good micro to get a tiger with 12 kills.. I have done it, I have seen a tiger with 20 tank kills and  a Panther with 19... its not impossible but rather difficult

of such a thing even I thought. so it should be unlocked something with which the tank firing range limit of a very large can or something like a one shoot kill (cool down 10min)

Abilities that unlocks with veterancy would be really interesting :)

I don't like the veterancy/time idea. This pretty much means that a squad just sitting around "cleaning their rifles" would gain veterancy.

How about only counting combat time?

If you do that, then what makes it any different from how the PE and americans gain their veterancy?
