An equipment appearance list

[Korvessa]

Has anyone made a list as to when new equipment appears in the DLC?
At least as far in which campaign?

For example, it would be useful to know when aircraft appear when deciding whether to use deny air force

The ME410 appears in the first mission. The Ju87G, HS219B and FW190 fighter/bomber version appear in the first Kursk mission, Yakovlevo. I think the Ju188A shows up during the first mission as well.

There are a lot of other new equipment that show up during the Yakovlevo mission, including 6 different artillery types, Panther D and Flammen Panzer III. If you are using the Aggressive Deployment general trait, you can use Denied Artillery, as 5 of the 6 are self-propelled versions: Wespe, Hummels, the armored version of the rocket launcher, an updated SiG, and the Brumbar.

The Panther A tank and the Luchs recon tank show up either in the 10th or 11th mission (depends on which path you took IIRC).

check the game files for units.csv, open it with excel or excel-clone and u have a full list of all units and their date of appearance.

Almost all of the new artillery units in AO'43 are self-propelled guns, with the Wespe (105 mm) and the Hummel (150 mm) being the equivalent of the towed artillery. There is also an armored version of the rocket launcher (the Panzerwerfer).

If you are using Aggressive Deployment, then your guns can fire as soon as they are in position - i.e. they can move-and-shoot. Which is the main reason for using self-propelled artillery if you are not using Aggressive Deployment.

If all artillery can move-and-shoot, there is no reason to purchase/ upgrade to self-propelled artillery in AO'43 (especially the Wespe and Hummel). They cost an extra slot and have only 3 rounds of ammunition.

If you pick Denied Artillery (+3 points) and Aggressive Deployment (-2 points), you come out 1 point ahead and can use it for something useful - like Master of Blitzkrieg for example.

I'm not sure what will happen to your artillery if you are playing with the Limited Stock option though. I've never tried it.
