Ostheer Suggestions

Flammenwerfers

Just a quick Idea I had come up with for the Ostheer faction.

I understand that the biggest trouble for you guys is to try and seperate the Ostheer faction from the Werhmacht and Panzer Elite, so I thought of one way you could make this faction more unique.

The medium squads (equivalent to Grenadiers) could be upgraded with Flamethrowers as well as other upgrades like the portable MG42 to mow down those conscripts.

To make sure that these would not be over-spammed, they could cost 75 munitions per upgrade.

Please post if you like this idea  ;D

Re: Flammenwerfers

Well; two points out of my personal view:
- U present one "half" unit idea but the Ostheer will
need much more Infantry ;)
- And i think Flamethrower and MG 42 as upgrade
for the "middle" infantry is not unique or new because
Flamethrower and MG 42 are weapons out of vanilla
and this squad looks like the old WE grenadiers but with flamethrower instate of Panzerschreck.

Think to take again "old" weapons is okay, but just
rework a old unit with one new weapon is no help for the dev-guys.

So; plz work out a more detailed idea or a hole concept
because the Ostheer needs a hole "body" and not just one "bone" ( one squad ;) ).

Horrido Rommel.
May the force be with you.

Re: Flammenwerfers

Yeah, My main point really was that I think the Ostheer should be able to equip Flamethrowers on other squads instead of just the engineer/sapper/pioneer units.

Sorry for the lack of detail as it was simply an idea on the top of my head.
