In the latest version of the game (2024), the German Sd.Kfz 250/3 (Command) has binoculars in the number 2 weapon slot that any soldier can use. Brandenburgers have scout sight and stealth.
I personally like the motorized units because I can quickly transport them near the front and easily redeploy them to a different section of the battlefield. Using them also saves on micromanagement and clutter when spawned in. Great vid keep it up! 👍
Thank you for creating this guide! I've been trying to get into this game and the subtle difference between different infantry squads can be painstaking. Edit: The bits of history with the squads was dope as well. Great content!
A nice thing about the halftracks is that they can all tow statics. Meaning that you can for example use a 20mm armed half track to tow a AT or field gun to the front, and use the 20mm to cover the gun while it get set up. Great way to push a 75mm gun into position of have a artillery gun protected from cheaky infantry that tries to sneak up on it. Or, using the ammo trailer, you can basically make armored supply trucks, that can protect themselves a bit.
New to the channel, but enjoy the videos so far. It's interesting how units in skirmish or campaign are viable but in conquest they're worthless. I wish we got more uses for those odd ball units.
@@SirJellyBean I honestly think the conquest mode needs a good deal of work. Since it’s against ai with no strategy really, it would be nice to have a more traditional mode where units don’t cost much, and you can have a lot of them, but it’s all about placement and uses. I find most campaigns I’m desperately scrounging for materials and resources while the enemy just chucks them at me. Armies consist of hundreds of thousands of men not 45 guys lol
Great video, I think that the Panzernest is very good in the early game, when the Soviets can only bring AT rifles and light tanks. Mortars and the like can't deal with it easily, and I find it to be useful on the defense as long as you have a truck to tow it with.
This is so useful. Appreciate this video and the work you put in a lot. I just have one question, when looking at the stats what actually tells you it’s furthest range etc?
Great video. I am very impressed by how well informed you are. Two things that you skipped are: Pz3 L,M,N have spaced armor 20mm plate on top of 50mm plate... which should be enough against even early 76mm russian guns. The second one is the skdfz 221... I disagree with you about it being a skip. The 221 is very cheap pop cap wise (only 4 pop cap) and you can replace the MG34 double drum by an array of different weapons (MG42 belt, PTRS, 30. Browning, 50. Browning. In case you are playing MACE => even the 57mm recoilless rifle.)
@@SirJellyBean you have to do the weapon switching manually by double clicking the weapon in inventory (or right clicking, can't remember) outside of direct control
I know it is a lot to ask but it would have been SO MUCH of a help if you showed us the ManPower value of each unit (i.e. Officer costs 2 ManPower value)
@@SirJellyBean allright I subbed to stay tuned, yes it would take a lot of time I imagine. It so dumb that this is not visible ingame before unlocking a unit. This way you can never plan out your army composition because advanced units suddenly cost more ManPowerValue than the unit you wanted to replace and now it can’t fit in the army
@SirJellyBean I reffer to the soldiers there are riffle skill 1,2,3,4 and standard skill 1,2,3,4 for some there is recon skill and deffence skill iff you check the breed files, I'm just courious what the difference between standard and deffence skill
The 20cm spigot mortar's advantage is insanely fast reload times for a mortar with 200mm projectile worth of explosive. About 9 seconds. It's downside is astonishingly terrible accuracy.
Hello! Great guide to the units, very informative. :D By any chance, do you know how the Scorched earth DLC units works for multiplayer? If me, the host of the campaign, owns it, have some of such unit in the match, and have another player that doesn't own the DLC, can he join? Can he use them?
Thankyou good sir , and I think as long as you have the DLC it should work fine best place to check is the steam forums as those guys do lots of multilayer.
This video was really helpful, the game is incredible but does a piss poor job or even none at all at describing the units, so I'm just working with what I know. Thank you for clearing things up. cheers!

O thks for the info dude 😄😁

Thankyou good Sir , and I do like the halftracks for transports I must say .
Yeah same also I use them to transport field guns and artillery.
Beautiful
Thank you

Yeah I think they definitely need to revamp the research tree to make they lesser units more viable, hopefully they do soon .

@@Fiendishfool I totally agree I'm really hoping they focus next update on this because it will bring so many poeple to the gane .

I always forget that panzer nest ill definitely use then next time I do a German a Finnish conquest.

The ranges of the weapons isn't truly shown best thing to do is go into the games editor to see each weapons range .
@@SirJellyBean have yet to test out the editor. Will have a play around later, thanks for the advice

@@janblahoslav5602 awesome thanks dude makes alot more vehicles viable now.
What makes Brandenburger special is their stealth perk which makes them much harder to detect by the enemy.
Good catch dude
Thanks that’s very helpful for me
Also your german is not half bad
Thankyou good Sir.
I know it is a lot to ask but it would have been SO MUCH of a help if you showed us the ManPower value of each unit (i.e. Officer costs 2 ManPower value)
I could do a new review for the armies which would show this like an army guide to units for conquest, that what you thinking ?
@@SirJellyBean I would certainly watch it! I think it would be really helpful also for new players 😁 🫡
@@trapper7954 I do have some but I'll do updated ones when I get time

What is the difference between tier 3 defence and tier 3 standard soldiers?? Thanks
Tier 3 you got more men also some emplaced mgs and i believe ammo on the objectives
@SirJellyBean I reffer to the soldiers there are riffle skill 1,2,3,4 and standard skill 1,2,3,4 for some there is recon skill and deffence skill iff you check the breed files, I'm just courious what the difference between standard and deffence skill
@@robbyea8526 Im not too sure tbh on those things

Yeah its crazy strong
I enjoy the field engineers on offense. They can help dig in long-range offensive weapons and set up a safe area for supplies.
Thats very true tbh
Are armour angles calculated in this or is it just thrown in with the armour value
I believe there calculated
When does infantry gets to late stage? 🤔
That would be the fallshemjager troops
@@SirJellyBean so the only infantry squad fallshirmjagers squad gets to late stage? Not the other infantry squads?
It would be nice with more stg 44 units
Deffo dude I agree

can you please do a video showing us what we should research and army builds for german conquest
This video should help you good sir th-cam.com/video/Bcjp790G14s/w-d-xo.html.
Great vidéo
Thankyou kind Sir.
Liberation update video? on all the new units since then
On its way buddy
How do you get the Gewher 43 sniper (The mountain snipers)?
It will come as part of an infantry squad most likely the german paratroops .
This video was really helpful, the game is incredible but does a piss poor job or even none at all at describing the units, so I'm just working with what I know. Thank you for clearing things up. cheers!
Thankyou dude
Its worth to bring cheap riflemen to take unit weapons so you can sell them
That's very true
Hey sir jellybean are you interested in doing a collab with me on Call to Arms online. Let me know👍🏼
Sure I'd be up for that you got discord
Ur german is not that bad
Thanks dude
