The Bergepanzers will function in the same way as the existing ones. In OOB 44 they also fulfill an ammunition resupply role. As for ARVs, well I hadn't thought about that. I know for a fact that that is what a Bergepanzer is for, but the game doesn't really allow much scope for that (from what I have seen) otherwise the vehicles that are already in-game (the ones that represent bergepanzers) would fulfill that role, oder?

Thanks for the compliments. The other Tiger III icons will also be upgraded in a similar way. The Hyaene sports a 105mm gun, like the Leopards, but will be cheaper and more mobile. The late era vehicles do indeed have rocket packs on them. The pack itself is a port off of another vehicle (with some minor alterations).

The addition of ATGMs to the tank in the later stages of the game allows it to punch above its weight a little more. As it is a lighter tank, it also travels quickly. I also foresee it taking on reconaissance roles and supporting paratroop and airmobile operations.

Hey monty; how about these:

Panzer IV with cleaned up forward hull, same basic engine and suspension, and aft hull.

Same thing as above, but with new side skiry design + a schmallturm mounting some version of a 75mm L70.

Frankly I have to wonder how the suspensions, drive train etc. would cope with a L70 and substantially heavier armor added at the same time. What components could you atually retain ?

The armor needs not to be heavier (dunno about the specific case), better shaping with the same weight might do the trick... Or even spare some weight.

I'll Think about it. It might make a good "Panzer IV K" It would be the missing link between the Hyaene and the Panzer IVs.

Some questions is there a complete OOB to download? And in that case which one does it replace?

RecruitMonty · #8 July 28th, 2007, 09:34 PM

There will be a number of complete OOBS. Imperial OOBS in the 1st release will include: Germany (44), Denmark (35) as the primary German OOB (long story), Switzerland (50 something), Austria and France.

Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada will need some work and the French and Belgian OOBs will contain "Free-" variants as well. The Canadian OOB wil be a composite of the British OOBs.

Oh, By the way, if you read the previous entries I am fairly sure that the set up of the OOBs and so on is discussed.
