      So I was reading some excellent feedback courtesy of LynustheJok3r, and I was thinking: both docs focus their mid-game on infantry and have weaker off-map support options, and later transition to tanks later on. Reading that Olhausen wanted to give the doc the jumbo have me an idea: give it the Jackson. The tank destroyer call in could give the doc a jackson which is more than a match for the panther.

      From a historical point of view, in Wikinger no US rank destroyer should be buildable as part of any of the doctrines.

       

      I have some ideas around this but they won’t be being implemented until 3.1.8 or possibly after the doctrines are completed.

      Just wanting to expand on this point further – from our game/doctrine design – that is historical accuracy as our initial reference point.  All TD battalions were attached to either infantry or other tank divisions etc.

      It would be far more applicable to have US Tank Destroyers in more of a rapid response or a pre-emptive ambush force rather than something you build and field.

      If no TD’s were build-able and they were only available as a call-in in various configurations for all US doctrines this would be much more along the lines of how they were intended for use and also much more fitting within our game design ideas.
