From what I know right now, I strongly feel that they should have forced Galland from your core, and at the same time awarded you a replacement unique fighter hero with similar (or same) attributes.

"...I understand losing such a capable officer as Major Galland is disappointing, but we think you will be pleased with his replacement, Major __________ as well."

That way you don't "lose" a hero, you're just replacing him and it keeps the narrative historically accurate without "weakening" your core.

Major Erich Hartmann would do nicely

i get the thing where they want to skip some people for political reasons, but what always puzzled me was why wasnt kurt knipsel never introduced.

BTW, what special bonuses would you have given a Knispel unique hero?

Boy, you guys keep saying what I was thinking/hoping before AO42 was released. I was wondering who/what the 2 new unique heroes were going to be in this DLC. The two that I would have bet on, or hoped for, is a fighter hero (to replace Galland) and a tank hero, specifically Knipsel. Instead we got 2(!) of AT/AA heroes (and it remains to be seen if we still get both once the patch is applied), and young Manstein. We are half way through AO and we still have only one unique tank hero. I find that surprising. Some of this is based on the GC in PC1.

Needs to be something that's different from Albert Kerscher...

I would propose something like this:

+3-5 Soft and Hard Attack
+1 Speed
Precision Weapon
Phased Movement

I mean wasnt Knispel in trouble because he intervened to stop abuse of Soviet POW ? and at Oswec he passed on opportunity to easily destroy soviet convoy because soviets were escorting civilians. Like i dont get why they dont put him there.
