Been a lot of rant threads lately...figured I'd start something interesting to try and get some real threads up.

So, for each side, Brits, PE, US, WM, what new unit do you think would fit each side better and be balanced.

My suggestions...

US need a light-medium arty unit like the nebel or stuka

Brits - Need another tank or maybe even their own light-med arty

WM - Ahh...heavy arty? they've got everything else lol.

PE - A medium tank

[Piotrskivich]

So basically everything for every side?

I'd say not add anything.

[Draken]

More units, equals harder to balance.

I think we need to balance current version of EiR first, then think about adding new units.

PE - A medium tank

US-M116 Howitzer WW2 or the M3
PE-Panzer 3
WM-150mm LFH 18
Brits-the stuart with the 75mm short barreled?

I think Luft could also use an airdrop at gun-i.e 37mm pak 36
and Stuka call in T3-T4
And and some new abilties to Tank hunters seeing as how most of them are battle advantages or tba.

[deadbolt]

US - Ambulance
Wehr - Med Bunker
PE - Horses
Brits - Sniper jeep

I just wanna see the Riflemen assault and support teams back.

I know that, i'm not asking for new units, just trying to create a discussion and get away from the stuff i've been seeing the last couple days and get some real threads going.

m116 - so basically, a mini 1015 howitzer? I guess as long as it can move. The m3 is what we already have in the game.

The p3 is basically the ist.

150mm LFH 18 - so basically a stationary hummel?

75 stuart would be fun but it'd basically be an upgunned puma imo.

[RikiRude]

US - They didn't really have any medium arty that I know of comparable to a stuka or nebel. The only thing I would like them to get is the M3 or the 155 gun carriages they had. So it would pretty much be like giving them a hummel. Or maybe one of the light tanks they had. Actually although US has the best close range weapon, the thompsons, i would love it if US got shotguns, although I'm not sure a good way to implement them. Oh, or Johnson LMG, a special ranger squad that got them would be awesome!

UK - De Lisle Carbines for commandos, it was a gun with an awesome silencer on it. Imagine a squad that had ambush and could do 3 volleys of fire before they were decloaked. the rounds were weak, just .45 rounds.  but if you made the squad really fast, it could be a neat weapon.

WM - something between a stug and a hotchkiss. a medium tank with a turret. im sure the germans had something along those lines.

PE - Springer. It's pretty much a kettengrad with more armor combined with a goliath. So imagine this thing having a V1 like explosion. Would be too much fun!

But to be honest, like said, I think units are fine now, and need to be balanced first. These are just some fun ideas I had.

[anthony210]

Panzer III for the germans would be nice.

+1

commandos can need some good unit.

So, uhm, how exactly is a 11.3mm round "weak"?

that's a pistol round. a pistol round obviously isn't as strong as a 30-06 garand. i guess not that it really matters since airbornes carbines would do about the same damage. also when a round is suppressed like that it makes it weaker because its not breaking the sound barrier or what ever. something along those lines =P

[Mysthalin]

It's fired from a rifle - longer barrel, improved firing mechanism better muzzle velocity. There's more than one version of the .45 round, just like every other round out there : the grain count, etc. matters too. Do you know how powerful the colt .45 is? How about the .45 M1928 thompson submachine gun? .

The sheer weight and size of the bullet is enough to create horrible wounds - there was no such thing as kevlar in WW2 to stop bullets so hard penetration doesn't really matter .

[deadbolt]

bullets are bullets.

[Malgoroth]

The Wehr should get an AT-AT.

BUT to balance it... they should only be allowed to have 1. See? Fair.

you mean like a pak. which snipes at? LOLOLOLOL. in other words, u want a pak. LOLOL.

[acker]

-M2 4.2-inch chemical mortar. Fires incendiary rounds like the Nebel, except as a mortar barrage w/cooldown, no normal fire mode, similar to Nebel range.

...And the units Salan had in at one point.

[puddin]

I don;t want a mg42 gren squad, i want a gren squad with the officer pistols.  American officer pistols.  That should be a unit for the Germans. 

Oh and instead of Shreks i say we get The Panzer foust longer tube with reloading cabilibilies, i say a RR dupe and we give them a bigger bazooka charge giving them shreks. 

Oh and then lets give the PE, the Curved Shot charge, much similar to the piats. 

oh and then the elephant for the brits, Similar to the Jagd ohhh ohh ohh and then the Firefly can purchase " up armored" option at reduced gun dmg, so we can make it a panther, and then there is the Pershing which gets a 2n;t turrent on top of it making it more tiger like dmg.
