What are your favorite units?

[John Given]

Interesting thread David.

Favorite German units:

Engineers and MG'ers for infantry - very deadly against certain types of targets.

Armored units would be Tiger II's, Panthers, Stuka zu Fuss halftracks (rocket launcher), 234/4 armored cars (75mm AT gun), and pretty much anything "rare." I basically like units that are unusual or have special abilities.

Favorite Russian units:

Infantry would be AAMG's, which rule. I don't like other Russian infantry units.

Armor would be t-34/85's are always a favorite, IS-2m's are all-time favorites, Katyusha rocket launcher trucks.

American fav's are Pershing tanks and 76mm Shermans. I also like the chaffee light tanks and M7 priests.

For the British, I like the Fireflies (who doesn't?), those huge, smoke firing, infantry killing tanks (that I can't remember the name of), and those DUKW carriers (they're ampibious - and armored to boot), and the 25pdr AT guns.

Least favorite units are the usual wagons and bicycles.

The list of units (and changes to existing units) I'd like to see added is a long one...which I submitted to Jason over the summer in several articles. He implied that many of them could be added to the game, but not all. A few of them are the Flakpanzer I, the Schwimmwagen in an infantry carrier role (max strength about 3), officers in shwimmwagens (amphibious officers), armored engineering vehicles (like the Bergepanther for the germans - can remove wrecks among other things), ALL soft-skinned vehicles having their defense raised to "2" to bring them in line with trucks, and many others.
