Newbie. The Noob's NEW Attempt at the Ostheer concept :->

The ostheer

Re: Newbie. The Noob's attempt at a Ostheer Concept!

oh, where do i start  ::)

UNITS:
Jaeger: why are they effective vs. buildings? and why a pop cap of 1?
Volksgrenadiers, Panzergrenadiers: way too cheap
Assault Troops: why are they effective vs. buildings/tanks? way too cheap
Panzer I: why a pop cap of 8? more than a StuG btw  ::)
Panzer III: they used a low velocity 75mm gun, effective vs. soft targets not tanks...why 10 pop?
StuG III: 10 pop?
Tiger I: "extreme armor"  ??? "800MP. 70 FUEL. 12 POPCAP."...balance?!

veterancy: that's not gonna work, what if your opponent uses just 3 different units than you're never gonna reach high vet.

doctrines :

Das Reich Arty: "poison gas shells", that was discussed before i think
Wurfrahmen 40 Support: why? you allready have a panzerwerfer, what's so special about it?
M.41M Tank Dest.: have you any data about it, i found nothing
Fur Das Volks: shotguns and firing range  :P
'Dora': 2 shots? how strong?!
Moebelwagen AA: as far as i remember that's an uncommon unit (<300) -> lord rommel????
FlaK 88 Support: mobile 88? that was discussed before and is considered OP
RSO Support: what sort of unit?

conclusion
most units are too cheap or popcap is way to high -> balance
your ostheer has no medium tank (except the panzer III/stug III), means no panzer IV/panther, but a buildable tiger for 12 pop and 70 fuel...  ::)
looking forward for lord rommels opinion

ps: guess i don't have to mention that i neither like your avator nor your signiture  ::)

Re: Newbie. The Noob's attempt at a Ostheer Concept!

Okay my friend i have to completly and utterly agree with El Tigre (down to the PS part). Its way to unbalanced. Look at some other threads my friend. They might give you some ideas on how to balance out the Ost.

I would suggest you move the Mobelwagon out of your Doctrine tree, add the Panzerwerfer, and change the Wurfrahmen 40 to something else. Also make the Mobelwagon into a Flakpanzer 38(t) for more accuracy. Now the Fur Das Volks should have only one shotgun or better yet, use a shotgun as there special ability for close combat. Otherwise I would suggest giving them a SMG perhaps an MP-28

Now the M.41M Tank is not a tank but in fact an Italian Tank Destroyer. http://www.wwiivehicles.com/italy/self-propelled-guns/semovente-m41.asp Here is what i found on it. Supposedly the Germans "confiscated" a few in 1943 and 44 so it is a viable option on the Eastern Front, as many served here. But its really just a weaker Nashorn so it or the Nashorn should be changed

I think this concept is a regular noob concept, grossly unbalanced. We all had one like this. So there is some prospective, just check out other peoples concepts, get some ideas, and good luck.
#34353

Re: Newbie. The Noob's attempt at a Ostheer Concept!

You should start with your general concept(perhaps doctrines later when you have a solid concept) after that you could calculate costs to them. Usually pop cost is equal to the number of soldiers unless they are vehicles(I guess crew number) or elite infantry OR they are just meatshields like conscripts.

Re: Newbie. The Noob's attempt at a Ostheer Concept!

Well. My historical notes;
The Semovente da 90/53 ( Newbie's M41M ) was never used at the eastern front. The Italians had developed this tankhunter to deal with the russian T-34 but when the tank was ready the problems at Africa were much bigger so a small number of Semovente da 90/53 were send to Africa. The Semovente da 90/53 fough till the end of the war at the italian front line anf not anywhere else.

And with the Möbelwagen; well. What should i write?
A number of 240 Möbelwagen were build. The served at the eastern and the western front.
May the force be with you.

I wish i could read what the guys were saying on that page. I don't understand German because i live in  NYC and the doushbags here seem to have forgotten how the Germans have helped shape their world beyond all the other immigrant groups. There are few schools that teach anything but Spanish, French, or Italian. Those that do, teach Chinese. I speak Russian, so French is like 30x easier.

Anyway back to the topic: I know i didn't have a 88mm thats why i said weaker then a Nashorn. Your page says 30-40, my page says 100-200 since about that many were used by the Germans in Italy. You're page is taking about Semovente da 75/18 Su Scafo M 41 M13/40 hull of which only 60 were made. Check my page again and you will see what im talking about.

I think that this vehicle served on the Eastern Front because my great-grandpa was a Battlefield medic and he said hat he saw tanks (T-34/76s) being destroyed by a huge Tank Destroyer with Italian Markings all over it. Maybe it was something else, but hey that's what i heard.

As for what you were saying Bishop, not everyone likes(or wants) the Elephant :o , some of us prefer the Nashorn or other tank destroyers that are similar.

QuoteAs for what you were saying Bishop, not everyone likes(or wants) the Elephant :o , some of us prefer the Nashorn or other tank destroyers that are similar.

there could be place for both units:
the nashorn would be like better version of the PE marder III (with good range, good damage and a weak armor) while the elefant would have massive armor

Well let me, say this. If we have 2 Uber-Tank Destroyers, then say bye to the IS-2 for me.  Imagine this situation, 1 Nashorn and Elephant are on the field at the EXACT same time and under 2 COs command. You have one guy using the Nashorn to pick off lighter tanks such as the T-34 at a distance, and the Elephant blowing up anything that may come closer  tothem. Sounds like we need one Paciat here cause thats WAY OP.

If we make an Elephant it becomes a Super-ranged Tiger, with more(?) armor (perhaps a weaker gun, but almost all TD have long-range so it won't make too much of a difference). If we make a Nashorn then, it would be an uber-Marder 3 ( probably also with lock-down to compensate for the weak armor) so someone tell me how that works together?

As for the M41M, well that just plain sucks, I was looking forward to seeing some Italian Armor in the East. It would stop some peoples nagging for an international army. I wonder what my grandpa saw ???
#34363

Re: Newbie. The Noob's attempt at a Ostheer Concept!

If they are placed in different end-tier doctrines i think it wouldn't be such problem; it would be like having a king tiger and a jagdpanther on the field.

In either case its up the Devs to decide which unit will be implemented.

Which Italian armor would be suitable to represent? I don't know a thing about italian army...

Umm i don't get what you mean by having a King Tiger and Jagdpanther on the field. Are you impplying that they are easy to deal with? Because im pretty sure that with proper tactics i could deploy a King-Tiger pretty fast and destroy everything on the field within a few minutes. Add a Jagdpanther into the mix and its hell on Earth. Placing them into 2 different doctrines won't really help as far as i can see. Im sure there are many ways to defeat them but with proper support that combo is quite scary.

As for Italian Armor, well beats me ;D

No, I just want to say that scenario will be available on 2vs2, if one player chooses Wehr(Terror Doctrine) and the other PE(Tank Destroyers) eventually would get the king tiger and the jagdpanther respectivelly.

I apply this to the nashorn and the elefant; two ostheer players, one with Doctrine North for nashorn and the other with doctrine South for elefant eventually would get the nashorn and the elefant. I don't know if Devs would implement something like that but if there were dreams to sell, what would you buy? :P

Re: Newbie. The Noob's attempt at a Ostheer Concept!

What would i buy???? A drunk panzer38(t) crew ;D But seriously speaking, I doubt they will attach a Nashorn if they have the Elephant because only 2 Nashorns actually exsisted and they both served at Stalingrad. Not much of a whole front representation. But a drunk can dream..... quite vividly.

simple counter: build many T34 and flank them  ;D
or as they would both be tank destroyers, just use some inf with AT weapons or AT guns...there are so many ways. the elefant would be a once per game call-in while the nashorn (must be set-up to fire, marder armor and better gun) is just a better version of the marder III. not really OP for me  ???

QuoteI doubt they will attach a Nashorn if they have the Elephant because only 2 Nashorns actually exsisted and they both served at Stalingrad
you mixed the nashorn (~500 vehicles, most of them were used at the eastern front) with the "sturer emil" (2 vehicles)

not to mention what happens if both choose doctrine South :o

Re: Newbie. The Noob's attempt at a Ostheer Concept!

You're right im an idiot i always mix them up . I love both of those TDs.

Problem with the T-34 flanking thing is a lot AT in a TD, go figure  ::) . The infantry problem can be solved by supporting them with, guess what, AI infantry and lots of it. Im sure that they will have a sniper of some sort and if its how i picture it, we will also have so fast AI tanks.

As for a better, Marder 3, look at how the G-Bucket (Geschutzwagen) turned out. Im sure that was a nice attempt against just about EVERYTHING. I know that the EF developers aren't our dumbbells at Relic but things can happen (i pray to the holy vodka bottle that they don't :P)

Ok guys, i've looked at the recommendations and TOTALLY re-done the concept. Thanks for the Recomendations Guys!
#34665

Re: Newbie. The Noob's NEW Attempt at the Ostheer concept :->

Now this, my friend is what we are talking about. It seems a lot more balanced and reader friendly.

You seem to have spaced it out a little more, but here are the new problems:

1) Jaegers are good against light infantry, being armed with MP-40s and a scoped Kar98k. Now this kind of squad would be dandy, but not if its the first thing you can build. My suggestion would be to exchange them with the RLA Rifles (since they are the troops closest and more familiar to the battlefield)

2/3)Jagdpanzer 4 and Panzer 4- You have both and thats great, but my friend i would suggest you that you turn the Jagdpanzer 4 into a secondary upgrade so you can add something else into the fray, perhaps some elite infantry(I don't exactly get how the Waffen-SS troops fit in an Engineering Doctrine so it would be better to move them in to your Ostkrieg factory)

Otherwise it looks pretty fine. Keep rollin' my friend.

Wilco with the PanzerIV-Jadgpanzer idea. For the RLA-Jaeger thing, do you mean swap these around? Wilco if you do, as the Russian Liberation Army' had a purpose of setting up Radio Links and Communication posts ( Just gave me a great idea for what they could build!) Behinde Soviet Lines. And also, i'll move the 12th SS Hitlerjugend troops to the OstKriegFactory? And i was thinking about replacing the SS with the Panzerjager I Tank Destroyer?

it had a 4,7cm gun...not the most powerful...even the panzer III's 5cm gun wasn't really effective vs. the T34 and this gun is smaller. it would be an early tankhunter good vs. T70/90 but quite useless vs. anything with more armor (correct me if i'm wrong).

QuoteIt'd basiclly have a high powerful gun but weak armour
sounds like the nashorn or marder I / II / III

Yeah i was implying that you should swap the Jaegers and the RLA. It would make more sense and you wouldn't have super troops as your first buildable unit.

As for the Panzerjager 1 it should be something a tad more powerful, and perhaps something more of rarity. Maybe a RSO/PAK40. It would be a mobile Pak 40 with no camo ability and would have horrible move accuracy, but has a very large bonus against tanks and can also use Tungsten core Shells.

P26/40 had never seen combat at the eastern front ;)
All of this tank were used by SS.-Polizei-troops of the

May the force be with you.
