So terror and defensive get officers, why not give blitzkrieg an officer that used inconjunction with tanks. Defensive office has off map and makes other infantry unit better, terror acts a degenarative office make enemy units slow and easier to kill and has his anti blob off map for stun.  So you have the buff infantry officer, negate infantry and there could be a third.  Thats right a tank commander, that give buffs to tanks.  Im not sure how the game mancanics will work but they he could be either a tank upgrade or even a officer that you load into to tank in game. This would of course be 2 pop, to stay in line with other officers. This officer would also help the tiger out a little and might give enought reason for people to once again use this Unit.  Alternatively it could be an upgrade that gives buffs to the tank, this could sight, range and acuracy increase (especially on the move accuracy to help that tiger out alot) and maybe speed.  This would give Blitz a unique officer, that would also help out a tier 3 tank the tiger and could also be use on other tanks like P4s or even stugs, this would make the blitz armour that much more diffrent from the the other WM docterines.

What are your thought on this?

P4 commander!

Achtung! Lets drive these allied schweinhundt back over the seaa!

[Sixpack]

With "CHARGE" ability (oh man).

Just fyi, Tank Hunters PE has a tank commander - The Hotchkiss command section, basically has inspired assault for vehicles.

Yes I know that but what Im talking about is not anorther tank that buffs tanks around it, but a commander that pop hi head out of the top hatch.  Kind of like in the Tiger Ace campaign.

Ala Firefly Tank Commander upgrade?

If your not after other tank buffs, only thing i can see it reasonably upgrading is sight range...

[Smokaz]

Depends on the price, if it was expensive enough maybe it could grant something slightly useful like reduced moving penalty to firing main cannon or the ability to flank speed every 3 minutes.

Flank speed is a ability that would fit very well in with the blitzkrieg doctrine.

the hell, you already have blitzkrieg.
a T1 that is a cross between flank speed autocannon for all your units.

[Smokaz]

Its not a very intelligent or well designed ability, basically you have to crash your tanks into the enemy tank to get any use out of it, and then stand still.

Blitzkrieg affected tanks take 50% penalty to accuracy I think, then add moving penalty if you wanna chase something. Not that uber, but a lot of people fail to look this stuff up before making a off hand comment.

[DisposableHero]

Something like a Cromwell Command Tank but on, say, a Panzer chassis could be neat, I suppose.

[Sharpshooter44]

Umm with all these threads about P4s being so OP and what not making an officer type unit would just make it all the more worse, and all these officers is horrible for EIRR gameplay... its as bad as WoW or soemthing where you get a super unit and rape a thousand units with ease..

If it were up to me i'd had all these new officer units removed..

the thing is.. Blitzkrieg + some CCT type of axis officer would result in P4s firing every 1-2 seconds or so.. horribly broken..

that would also mean the devs would have to give armor co some form of a CCT to balance this out..

so to the whole idea of this thread I say absolutely not.

[Thepassenger]

Its the way the officers are used that makes them bad tbh, other than some of their stats being weird.

blitz should have some commander type, imo id rather it be an officer rather a tank, just cause its cheaper. but w/e.

[Akranadas]

Blitz is getting the schimwagon Commander.

[Tymathee]

Airborne and Armor don't get any type of officers, neither do any of the PE factions but TH, so...why give blitz one?

[Smokaz]

Luft gets a officer, FSJ veterans. Airborne medics...well it would be a stretch to call them a officer type of unit, but they are basically a special low pop unit of low availability and high munition cost granting some kind of battlefield buff.

[HansVonLuk]

Blitz is getting the schimwagon Commander.

Really?  An what will he do?  I sense a instant atg sniped unit most games, but at least this on cannt be effectly strafed.

Well, what I know is that he'll have the halftrack armor type so he can't get rushed by jeeps, as well as some extra health so he can (barely) survive an ATG shot. He will grant 25 percent more sight range, 15 percent more range, and 25 percent more damage, as well as have a precision strike off-map on a cooldown of 8 minutes. Should be cool.

[Demon767]

shut the hell up everyone else gets a officer.

Along as his repair is on cool down this would be cool, ortherwise he just would work out.

[Blitzen]

I'm pretty sure Myst was just being bitchy.  A tank commander that gave those buffs to tanks, would unbalance the game massively.
