benpark Posted May 1, 2001 Share Posted May 1, 2001 I seem to remember reading that Luftwaffa ground troops would be modeled in CM prior to its release. Has anyone done any type of mod for this? Or do they fall under "security" troops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Mahone Posted May 1, 2001 Share Posted May 1, 2001 Volksgrenadier (VG) - late war, new pattern infantry formations. Many personnel transfered in from Luftwaffe or rear echelons after the collapse of mid-to-late 1944, also older and younger men (40s, teens). Decent officer and NCO cadres, but highly variable quality overall, conscript to veteran. Almost exclusively SMG armed (fewer LMGs than standard, far fewer rifles), to give high close-range firepower without too much training. Usually without vehicle support, but guns, teams, mortars plentiful. Used as ordinary infantry, but relies more on Hvy weapons for range combat. Also more likely to use reverse slope defenses (behind ridge, inside woods rather than edge, interior of a village) to maximize effect of SMGs and fausts. -------------------------------------------- See Zipper's post on "German Infantry Types". Jason C put up a great reply there. Hope that helps, Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
