Missing German Units

In the first place i wish to express my gratitude for bringing back PG in an improved Setting. The game is worthy of its name.

Still there are some german Units that would significantly improve the gameplay. A part of it may be experimental while other units saw service. It would be suitable to have more Options on the SdKfz 250 and SdKfz 251.

There role is largely limited to transporting troops. This is not necessarily a full list of the options. Armoured Grenadiers enjoyed SdKfz 250/251 beyond mere transportation. One may consider adding These to the Transport options or classify them in selfpropelled guns. They may add a cheap class of self props or individualize the german Transport section which right now is not that far away from allied Transport, although its role differed due to the doctrine of armoured Grenadiers.

Another Option may be to adopt them as dual purpose wepons that come with heroes (infantry)

SdKfz 251/9 with a short barreled 7,5cm gun
SdKfz 251/22 with a 7,5Pak 40 gun
SdKfz 251/17 with a 2cm gun
SdKfz 251/21 with MG 151/15 gun
SdKfz 251/16 Flamm
SdKfZ 251/2 with Mortar
SdKfz 251/10 3,7cm Pak 37
SdKfz 251/11 2,8cm PzB41
SdKfz 250/9 2cm gun

Guns

7,5 Pak 50 dual purpose gun (artillery and AT)
7,5 cm leIG 18 (artillery)
4,2cm Pjk 41 gun (AT)
8,8cm Pak 43
Recce

SdKfz 234/4 Puma upgraded to 7,5Pak 40 gun --> Puma is undergunned in 1944

Experimental weapons

coelian (AA) Panther Chassis

Kugelblitz (AA)

(Captured) Equipment

Hungarian

Toldi II(a) Tank
Turan I and Turan II

Equipment:

Possibly an Option for improving the spawned hero units

StG 44 with infrared scope (Vampir)


Thank you for the effort!

Those trucks with things like Flamm guns weren't used on a large enough scale that one would see a lot of point in adding them to the game. Of course, you can always add units by modding them in. I personally don't use those units as transports at all, as I see their attack and defend is too weak to be worth the extra 100pp spent as an alternative to the Opel Blitz.

Ah, yeah, indeed, one way is to ask the developers to add those or other units to the roster. They may or may not do it in a future patch as they have already added lots of additional units since PzC 1.0.

The other option, in case you do not want to wait, is to add them yourself or use a mod as most of these units (+ many others) are already added by enthusiastic modders. :wink:
