Just found this article on wikipedia and wondered why the dev team didn't include this beautiful machine in the PE's arsenal. They have the mortar halftrack, so why not go the full hog?

The Panzerwerfer looks retarded. I never want to see it in COH.
The Panzerwerfer makes me cream my pants. I want it. Now.

cause they dont need it?
Why not? The PE are focused on mobility... isn't this type of thing the epitome of PE tactics?

A half track with an artillery rocket pod.
Nuff said.
A better question is why don't the Panze Elite have the Sdkfz 251, Sdkfz 250 Command halftrack, Puma, StuG III, Panzer IV (not the obsolete F1 model), Panzer III, PaK40 or 43, normal mortar, Tiger, HMG, LMG, Panzerfaust, and Panzerpionieren?
Calliope ripoff, it would probably be overpowered. The PE don't need any more long range units dude.

I remember this puppy from Medal of Honor Allied Assault, I thought they were definately putting this thing in...at least more so than a mortar HT. Then again either it'll come off looking like a mobile nebel... or a rip of a walking stuka....but i still like it!
One of the PEs few weaknesses is decent non doctrine heavy arty (Yanks too come to that, but since everyone plays inf nowerdays that doesent matter atm) lets not give them any more reasons to be nerfed
more content would be great! i really do feel the expansion pack did lack in alot of ways in unique units...
Caesar you took the words right out my mouth i expected just that as well..
As nice as it would be to see that, I doubt it'll happen (unless modders can get it ingame).
BTW, wasn't there already a thread on this very topic?
shwarzwald....unique units are you serious. THERE ARE TONS OF THEM. The brits units are money.

Yes there was and I dont think the PE need this I think it whould be a copy of the nebel and just give people even more to complain about then they already do. I whould love to see this late/mid-late game but I just dont think it will be done because of all the blance issues right now and that whould be yet another unit I can see people screaming for a nerf.
i play allies very little or none daroach.
The panzerwerfer was basically the next generation of the nebelwerfer. You do not need both; they have the exact same purpose.
And the reason they chose the nebelwerfer instead was, I believe, that wehrmacht has the 'iconic' german units, and it's much more well known than the panzerwerfer.
Neat? Yeah. Necessary? Not.. really. Still, I wouldn't say no if I got it thrown after me.

Because they have the unnecessarily awesome Mortar HT.
Panzerwerfer would have been nice. TBH, a LOT of things would have been nice...
It would be cool to put this on scorched earth tactics make it the same range and power as nebs just twice the price for the mobility
This is like the fourth thread I've seen on this topic on two boards in a week...
whats going on?
Anyway... its a cool unit I guess. not really necessary, Mortar HT is fine... add units that are needed, not units that are cool.
what about the panzer I, II, III, IVVS, V, VI, VII, IX, X, XI, XII and most importantly the panzer XXX, unrated.

Erm the 60mm is the shorter range version of the 81mm, yet it is in the game.
The mortar HT was added when wehr have a mortar already.
The 17 pounder is an immobile 57mm, yet it is in the game.
"X unit is too similar to existing Y unit!" doesnt work.

We have a lot of these threads in the past, and generally they all end up the same; a debate on real world statistics which doesn't translate into game.
The real answer is that Relic left out a lot of units from every army in Company of Heroes/Opposing Fronts as outlined already in this thread. It was just a design decision on the part of Relic, and thats about it.
If you want the Panzerwerfer in Company of Heroes, I'd suggest heading over to the Company of Heroes - The Armoury section and learning how to get into the game. Alternatively; there is a mod that said they'll be having the Panzerwerfer in their mod UPCOMING MOD: APOCALYPSE
Beyond that, theres nothing really this poll (with inappropriate choices) will do to get the Panzerwerfer in the game. As such I'll be closing it as we've done in the past with other threads such as this, ones that asking if X unit should be in the because it would be cool.
