He is already ingame

yes you can upgrade the kingtiger to chuck norris
he will kill a whole base with a roundhouse kick  ;D

Guys comn be serious! I asked him and he responded he would never do that. He will only kick randomly kick plp out of game to start a rage why plp where kicked by host  ;D

chuck norris....Gys let me ask you something.This sharpshooter guy is kind like the jaegers???And he becomes an ace when he overcomes vet 3???And whats this ability named "best counter detection"  ???i realy like snipers they are my favorite units.And at last the a German sniper has a scoped k98!!!!!not just gewehrs.Who had this idea???I'd like to thank him very much ;D

I cannot what to Ace the King Tiger! Once it comes out, Ostheer will be the only faction I play. Thank you for working so hard on this!

A quick question for the devs, what will the next update be about?

i think vet was the last missing thing^^
there is nothing more to tell

gys will anyone answer my questions ???

Jaegers is a squad of snipers, however are very special, they don't kill like a normal sniper, one shot one kill, they have a different mechanics but they still snipe enemy soldiers.

Marksman is not like a sniper so don't think of it as one more  long range sniper, he fights from medium to close range and it's accuracy is not that good like a sniper.

When Marksman reach the Ace state has two options, one of them is to make it similar to the Soviet Sniper Ace but different as Wehr and US snipers are, and the other is giving him demo charges.

The next Sneaky Peaky should be an Ostheer video... I don't remember what's going to be about XD.

Didn't say marksman is not a sniper XD... it becomes a sniper if you select the Ace upgrade with the bolt action rifle.

Ah..ok...an Assault Sniper Pioniere  ;D ;D

Thanks, all clear! ;)

what kind of marksman are we talking about???are they like the british marksman guys in the squads ???and is it only one jaeger squad available ?i mean if you call in a jeager squad then will you have to wait till it dies to call another one??and is there a difference between sharpshooter and sniper???

mmm... nope, it's like a grenadier with a scoped MP44, it won't snipe enemies because it's weapon doesn't allow it. He need to be close to fire precise shots.

I don't think that allowing him to lie demo charges makes him an assault pioneer :P. It's only a bonus for reaching the Ace state. He cannot build anything so is not an engineer of any kind.

Did you just mix up demo charges with what he really gets?

Thats a name only for discussion in forum. When it progress maybe another name can be found, something like "bravery"

I liked "bravery" so much. This sounds good.  ;)

I think its a good name for this ability.

"Manliness" is better. ;D

But seriously guys, what's the point of debating such a small thing?

small things make a big difference :)

I'm afraid the arbitrary renaming of game mechanics isn't going to make a big difference... :P

Blood Lust won't be renamed guys ;). It doesn't sound that bad.

we all know that lvl 3 jagers become to Optimus Prime and run over all enemys, drive into the base, transforms back to elite jagers lvl 15, start the cruise missile (during the start he gets next level up) and you finaly become the real, one and only lvl 16 aka "Chuck Norris"

;D

Oh please Evilspike...

You all know that at level 16 you are an elite warrior class but you can use a special spell that transforms you to chuck norris for 180 seconds and makes you invincible with no cooldown

:D

^^HAX >:(

Now that you unveiled all that stuff... now what are we going to present on the July 15th ????

Guys, remember to keep as secret what you read from Ostheer on the balance forum... otherwise won't be a surprise for anyone at the next sneaky peaky :P.

Back on topic, as the Marksman got explosives, i thought it would be demo charges, but perhaps will be satchel charges.

Ok chief, so I can't mention the Maus asa  reward unit right? :D

Explosives for the Marksman sounds like it could be pretty funny. You know, there's this big explosion, taking out a whole squad, and you get the message 'Unit Sniped!'. ;D

yeah but is there only one squad of jaegers available per time i mean will you have to wait for the squad to die till you call in another one?????

That will depend on our balance testing.

ok thanks dennis

Those are some insane buffs.
A panther donsnt need flank speed nor turret rotation speed bonuses since it can take any enemy tank head on. Only vechicles that have weak armor and cant fight other vechicles need that kind of ability. Every vechicle needs to have disadvantages (even at vet 3) or it will be OP.

I think it's because Ostheer tanks must be able to engage russians late game tanks like IS-3, IS-2, ISU-152, KV-85 and T-34/85.

... and US and Brit tanks going to be f*cked :/ .

Yea, Brit and US tanks are always killed by Panthers, making them useless. Unless you choose amour doctrine. Thats just a race to fuel.

Well, maybe they could make the Ostheer Panthers weaker than those of the other armies at 0 vet? :-\

keep in mind that OH panthers start with DECREASED stats and must gain vet individually through combat. so you won't face too many vet 3 or ace panthers early on. and they will have weaknesses like all other units. and when they die they are lost and you will have to start with vet0 again.

* Regular ("Veterancy 1")

...So it wasn't a bad idea, then? ;D

Have to see it in action, though; I don't want my Panthers fighting like Panzer IVs!

Really cool unique vet system. Looks like they're going to be fun to fight!

Awesome to see that one of my ideas made it into the mod (choosing weapon after vet), its a great honor! :D
