Here we go

Here's the current lineup of the
Federal Republik of Germeny! I'll post a new overview pic here once I finish modding the Jackson and the Cougar AFV.

Standard Shok Troopers.

(From the left) Two Panzergrenadiers, three specialists and two vehicle crewmen.

The two
Mediks.

The Cougar prototype armed with four 6-stud long TOW missiles.

And last but not least, the M2A1 Jackson; modified to the Bundeswehr's specs.

A parting photo, with
Colonel Leizer leading the charge.
That's all for now boys and girls!
Cheers,
Valiant

Your standard troops look very good i can't wait to slaughter them

also i like the TOW vehicle it looks good if a bit under armed perhaps an additional machingun for when its out of missiles?

"Cougar
prototype"
But yeah, you've got a point

Also, the missiles are an armament option that can be easily switched out.

.50 cal machine gun turret, .50 cal SPAAG(Self Propelled Anti Aircraft Gun) turret, Reconnaissance (carries two Panzergrenediers and a .30 cal point-defence gun) and of course the TOW Tank Hunter variant.

looks like a good loadout variation. but you might want to lower the TOW it looks higher than your MBT so it wouldn't be able to shoot lower targets....

The advantage of TOW is that the missiles are wire guided, so while one still requires a visual line of sight, the tubes don't need to be pointed directly at the target (the firing arc can be 1-3 fingers wide depending on the range; ie. 1 finger for 10", 2 for 20", etc).

Peaches and yellows together? Time for genocide.
In all seriousness, this is pretty cool, especially the vehicles.

Fire and forget missiles are much better that way your not a sitting duck while firing eh?

Might change it to that; however, both have their pros and cons.

Perhaps equip the specialist that does not have anything with a laser pointer so she can designate targets?

I was building a 45th Union ODST type troop that looks very similar to your shock troopers. Your design is better.

ODST-type huh? I'd love to see the drop pods if you've made them

Oh man I haven't even gotten that far yet--I was just going for a bulky, special infantry type look.
