So now in EiRR. How can i Vet my Officer?
2 xp after 4 games? Nice.

Seriously give him the ability to pick up weapons, or give him exp for barrage kills, or give him exp for supervising units who kill units, or give him a shotgun or whatever. But at the moment, you cant vet him.

Or are there any people with Officers with Vet 1 and above?

[Killer344]

lol.....yeah there´re some units that need to gain xp just by surviving...

[GenSturm]

Vamp. HT, Muni HT, Bergetiger, Ketten

[EIRRMod]

Its on the cards.

Have stated before that participation xp for non-combat (or nearly non-combat) units was wanted.

[DiBBs]

lol could you imagine a vet3 ketten.

thats like, a ketten with an 88gun attached to it

Vamp. HT, Muni HT, Bergetiger, Ketten

you forgot the goliath (which has a vet table of its own, for real)

I wish the Goliath kills transferred to it's own Vet table on the Pio squad laying it. so that each time he built a goliath it would apply those bonuses. faster movement/bigger AoE/More accuracy(damn officers surviving) or something alone those lines. But thats because I whore Goliaths a whole lot.

I don't see why you couldn't have a similar thing to british officers, but instead make his command range the unit he's supervising.

Even some combat units have difficulty gaining experience. Simple case in point, basic infantry such as riflemen and volksgrenadiers. Even with their weapon upgrades, their squishiness makes it hard to vet them up.

They could use either reduced vet requirements or some kind of organic XP gained per battle that is capped at vet 1.5 or something.

[EscforrealityTLS]

Personally I'd like to see the Axis officer able to follow the supervised unit around with out the start stop spasm thing that happens him, also like they said above he should gain vet from the supervision.

{Edit} Also would it be possible for the Axis officers vet to improve his supervision?

[MannfredvonRitter]

Certain factions and units do have issues vetting up.

Currently vetting up a calliope is ridiculously easy, whilst vetting up say, an armoured car can be quite challenging.

[brn4meplz]

I'm contemplating having 2 officers in my company so that 1 can supervise the other one and he can run around killing suppressed engineers. maybe that would work?



*EDIT* Yeah my officer got 3 kills last night in some super heroic defense stance, I wish i had Fraps or something hotkeyed so i could just turn it on. He was supervising the MG42, then the Pak's then the MG42, then the grens. then back to the Pak's. it was pretty hectic but i give him medkit so he pulled through it.

[Baine]

I managed to get 2 or so kills with him, when he defended my 88 against suppressed tommies. Now he is Vet 1. But it will probably take months until Vet 2.

If hes not killed by Artillery, Ranger/Brit blob/rushes, run over by a tank or just glider crushed.

Forgot to mention ATG/Tank sniped.

[brn4meplz]

I am now 7xp on my officer and i thought he was done for fighting a Recon squad, but he pulled through. Also does Supervising Allied vehicles/ your vehicles actually work? I see the symbol appear, am just unsure as to it's actual effect, I'm trying to spot the damage differences. (supervise Hummel anyone?)

I'm going to call him Hanz

[Mysthalin_Axis]

The officer has always, and will always be Ludwig.
Not Hanz.
Hanz's coffee sux and he's in one of the tanks.

[brn4meplz]

too true sir, i stand corrected. Ludwig now has 10Xp and i think the replay is being posted in the froums. Battle on goodwood

[Malevolence]

Hans is the sniper, Klaus is the bike driver.

[brn4meplz]

I'm learning to fear more then Artillery/snipers/an ATG snipes with my Officer... a new enemy has emerged. The Bazooka! This things are crazy, last game i had my officer take 3 of them while he was running at distant range. dropped him to 1/4 life each time. I'm just thank full for medkits and radio equipped scout cars.

I've noticed the Bazooka performing quite admirably against infantry lately also. I had a vanilla gren squad firing from green cover against Thompson rangers w/ bazooka's at long rang, and the only time i lost grens was when the zooks fired. The Thompsons have shit accuracy at that distance so i don't think they contributed much to the fight. I've also seen my zooks wreck squads when i play as allies. and it's been a painfull experience all arouund

[brn4meplz]

Well Ludwig died, he last about .7 of a second infront of a bren tommy squad that assaulted my green cover. and my supervised dual LMG's couldn't do shit to stop them from killing him. he was up to 15xp, so now i try and do the long road to officer vet again.

Get xfire, it has a video thingy where you cando it in game, it so sweet. I've done it many times and have taped some people trying to drophack...and other miraculous things. Then u can upload ur screenshots/vids to ur xfire profile.

Officers have excellent survivability from what I've found. They have a LOT of HP for a single man unit (140!) and if you have a medkit then it lasts that much longer. In the past I almost never lost my officer to small arms troop fire (even snipers, but that's probably cause I hunted them mercilessly), especially when he was following around a vet 2/3 double lmg squad You do have to keep an eye on him though...Funnily enough I think he died most to being m10 crushed as it made a beeline for the yummy vet 2 grens.

I used to have a 'training school' for my grens...a vet 2 gren squad would be put in platoon with officer (8 pop) and he'd supervise them until they reached vet 3

On a lucky day sometimes I'd get 20+ inf kills with that one supervised squad RTC was very kind to this
