My proposal: Sturmtiger

Hi, I'm from Poland. I love this EF and I have proposal of make Sturmtiger. It's a very very big rocket-mortar with a tiger chassis. This have very big diameter of mortar and very short barrel. During WW II one time it destroyed three shermans by one shoot only!!! This can be changed with V1 in terror doctrine in wehr or can be changed with normal tiger in blitzkrieg doctrine in wehr. It's very good assault weapon. Link to wikipedia to see this and something more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmtiger

Hi! Welcome to the EF forums :D! (There aren't that man proper greetings these days :P)

Im sorry to burst your bubble :'( but the idea for a Sturmtiger has already been presented and the request has been denied :(. I think one of the main reasons is EF doesn't know where to put it and how to balance it (b/c this is suppose to be like a extension to vCOH).

Even if it replaced the V1, it is still a tank, meaning it can fire more than once. A v1 rocket can only be uesd once :(, per every 10 min or so, and for a high muni price.

EF devs might consider it in the future but I think their main concern is Ostheer and the balancers main concern now is RMC.

Witamy rodaka :)

Sturmtiger idea was already answered with 'no' - why? Sturmtiger didn't served on Eastern Front.

I know that the idea has been rejected for gameplay/balance reasons, but I'd like to point out that the wikipedia link which the OP gave us mentions the fact that the Sturmtiger did operate on the eastern front (warsaw uprising) (and yes, I know wikipedia isn't the greatest of sources).

well basically yes, but it was Uprising. It didn't shoot to Soviets, only to Poles... so technically it wasn't Eastern Front.

The only unit I can see the Sturmtiger replacing is the Hummel, because they serve a fairly similar role.

id rather not have the sturmtiger, its just too extreme of a unit.

okay I understood :)

But I see next problem this time in panzer elite. They haven't an universal unit which is base of army. Look: americans have sherman to fight with infantry and tanks, russinas have t-34 also to infantry and panzers, wehrmacht have panzer IV and what have panzerwaffe???

They haven't an universal unit to fight with infantry and tanks:( For me it's small problem, they can make for example panzer III or panzer II which a 50 mm cannon.

Well they have excess amounts of halftracks.

@huba:
That's what PEs playstyle is like. You have to decide for a good mixture of units to fight the enemy successfully. :)

As I've learned, PE have no one defining unit :(. They need to mix things in order to get an effective hard counter.

For example, a Marder MIGHT be considered a hard counter. But a Marder in itself cant win against say a Sherman. It will get circled and die a horrible death  :'(.

However dual Marders or a Marder and a ATHT or a Marder and some shreck will effectively halt any armored attack, maybe better than a single tank could (granted there's not like 3 shermans charging at you ::))

Thats what teller mines are for.

Teller mines cant really be considered and effective hard counter to armor. You dont always know where the enemy will be and sometimes a tank will just barley mss it. Its too unredictable. But with Marder and ATHT or Marder and Shreck, even if they come from the sides, you are sorta safe.

You want a mortar vehicle to be a medium tank??

Can I propose the skin for the Jagdtiger be changed? Its so bland right now :(. Can we at least put this symbl on the side?

IMO it fits with PE skins, and that's what matters ;).

Doesnt the Jagdpanther also have this symbol?

PE "symbols" are part of their team colors, and not part of the skin itself.  Although, I agree with you, Fish, it should have the BalkenKreuz in the skin.

I just think about something that will be an unical unit in PE, I know how to play PE :)
