Isn't it a given that we want new doctrines? And them speaking German and winter outfits would be cool details, but not really the most important characteristic when it comes to game play.

I said super heavy tanks, but would like to clarify that decision.

I want heavy (and light) tanks that we have not seen, not the landcruiser or what ever the 150/1500 ton behemoth was

Shit.
New dectrines are (and units) most important. Not just heavy tanks. Buildable Tiger I and Brumbar, Elephant, Tiger Ace call-ins is all (maybe even too much) the germans need.
Germans will probalby speek german, like russians speak russian (but a panzer IV will be a panzer IV and not a sherman).

New option: Early-game advantages. (Like early Pz3 and strong infantry, but little chance to win a in late-game.)

Re: Most important Ostheer characteristic?

A proper defensive/stranglehold doctrine that can allow the ostheer to survive  an early soviet spam rush,(and also reflects well on the  fuhrers 'no retreat-hold at all costs order, just like stalins no retreat) and most importantly, the ability for the ostheer to be able to build trenches! 1 out of 3 axis isnt bad for balancing,  brits and soviets can, so why cant ostheer at least?

Re: Most important Ostheer characteristic?

New doctrines are one of the most important things for the Ostheer, but new units and a unique gameplay are also needed. And the Ostheer should be a force not limited  to 'build up defenses, and wait for your super units'.
No one can stop the German panzer divisions.
