Overview
Hello,
Please note that you must use a Bonus Deck for West Germany to get the 43 Points and the German Prototype units used in this Deck
This is my first Deck Guide for West German Army,the Bundeswehr.
1.Logistcs-A FOB
1.FOB
All Decks need a FOB,thats your Main Supply Building and losing all FOB will make you loose instantly.We take 2 of them,as Backup if 1 gets destroyed and also to be sure to have enough supplies.
1.Logistics-B Supply Vehicle
Supply Vehicles are important,many units loose their ammo very quick and will be useless without Supply near to reload them.As Supply Vehicle take the Jupiter Truck.The balace between supply carried and price its good.We take 2 Units with 10 trucks each.
1.Logistics-C Command Vehicle
You need Command Vehicles to capture and hold sectors.Captured Sectors will earn Money for you.Thats why i suggest you take the M557g Command Vehicle instead of Command Tank,you can buy more cause they are cheaper and with more vehicles you can hold more sectors.
2.Infantery-A Panzergrenadiere on Jupiter Truck
As standard Infantery i would suggest using Panzergrenadier Soldiers on Jupiter Truck.Take Recruits so you get 12x.
2.Infantery-B Panzergrenadiere on Marder1A3
As Second Unit take Panzergrenadiere on Marder 1A3 APC at Soldier Level so you get 8x
This is your "Tank"-Infantery which is thought to fight together with Main Battle Tanks.Use them to follow your Tanks and secure Strong positions like Buildings or Forests on the Battlefield.
The Marder 1 A3 Version is a prototype with digital Camouflage,and Camouflage is also the strength of this APC with 20mm Autocannon and ATGM Rockets.
2.Infantery-C Jagdtkommando auf Dornier
As 3th unit take the ATGM unit Jagdtkommando on Dornier Chopper.The Chopper is so cheap (5) that it makes no sense to put them on trucks.Use them as Emergency Tank-Stoppers and select Soldier or Veteran Level for them
2.Infantery-D Jagdtkommando on Fuchs Milan
As 4th Unit take the Jagdtkommando ATGM Unit mounted on Tzp Fuchs Milan.The Transportpanzer fuchs is equipped with same Milan ATGM than the Jagdtkommando itself.Take Soldier Level so you get 8x
2.Infatnery-E (Fallschirm)Jager on Dornier Chopper
As quick air-transportable Infantery you can select the Jager Airborne Troops which come with the Cheap Dornier Chopper and can be used in big Numbers.When you select Veteran Level you get 12 Units.Fly them to Houses where the enemy is about to drive past or use them together with the Jagdtkommando on Dornier.
3.Support-A Gepard A1 Anti Air Tank
As first Support Vehicle take the Gepard A1 (note that you only can select the German Prototypes when you make a dedicated Germany only deck in the Bonus Menu,its the middle button on the create deck menu).The Gepard A1 has increased Accuracy for its Radar Guided 35mm Twin Gun.Take a Soldiers Unit with 4x Gepard A1
3.Support-B Marder-Roland
This Modification of the Marder APC carries a Radar and Radar Guided Roland Anti Air Rockets.The Roland belongs to the high range Rockets and is usefull to be used for defense,while the Gepard can escort your Troops for Chopper Protection.I suggest you take Recruits cause only other Option is veteran and 2 Units could be to less,so better take 6x Recruits.Note that Special Planes carry Anti-Radar Rockets which are able to follow the Radar-Beams of Radar-Guided Anti Air Rockets to destroy them.You can disable the Weapon manualy,then Radar is off and it cant be tracked by Anti-Radar Planes.Use this when you see the Enemy uses a special Anti Radar Plane.
3.Support-C Lars 2
The Lars-2 Rocket Artillery is in my Mind the best Nato-Rocket Launcher at all,you need them in your deck ;).It has 36 Rockets loaded with a caliber of 110mm and a Range of 17500.Take Recruits.
3.Support-D Panzermoerser M113 (PZMRs M113)
The PZMRs M113 is a modified Version of the American M113 APC,which now carries a heavy 120mm Mortar and 90 Shots of Ammo.We take a Soldier Unit with 3
4.Tanks-A Leopard 2A4
The Leopard 2A4 is the best,but you can only get Soldiers with 4 Tanks,take them.
4.Tanks-B Leopard 2A1
We need more tanks than 4 so we also take the Leopard 2 in Version A1 TWICE,1x in Soldier and 1x in Recruit Level
4.Tanks-C Leopard 1 A5
The Bunderwehr is a tank Army and we need lot of them.So we also use the Leopard 1 Prototype Leopard 1A5 with Veteran Level.
5.Recon-A Fernspaeher on Dornier
First of our Recon unit is the Elite-Infantery Fernspaeher unit on the Cheap (5) Dornier Chopper.Drop the Recons,the you can use the Dornier as extra Air Recon.We take Veteran Level and get 8 Units.
5.Recon-B Spaehpanzer Luchs
The Spaehpanzer Luchs has high speed and good Optical Devices,it belongs to the Bundeswehr only Prototypes.We take a unit of Soldiers and get 4
5.Recon-C BGS on Jupiter
We also need some cheap recons we can hide at several forests around the map.For this we take the BGS on Jupiter Trucks.The BGS is the German Customs Police and in Cold War it was its job to Protect the German-German Border.
6.Vehicles-A Wiesel MK20
The Wiesel is not realy a tank,it was designed as weapon carrier to carry heavy weapons for the use with Airborne Units.2 of them can be put under a Chopper and airlifted to the Airborne´s.This is the Wiesel with MK20,a 20mm Autocannon.They only cost 15 and you best take a unit of 8.
6.Vehicles-B Wiesel TOW
This wiesel carrys TOW anti tank rockets with good accuracy and deadly warheads.They are good the be hidden in Line of Trees near the Roads which can be expected to be used by enemy Tanks.
6.Vehicles-C Marder VTS1
This is another Prototype,a Marder APC which has a 105mm Gun from Leopard 1 Tank mounted.They are cheap (20) and can be used to hide as Ambusher or to support Infantery with Tank Firepower when real Tanks are to expensive or otherwise not avaible.
7.Helicopters-A Bo105/PAH 1
The Bolkow Messerschmidt 105 "Panzerabwehr-Hubschrauber 1" is a dedicated Anti Tank Chopper.The Bo105 not looks like a real military chopper,but its very agile (Read Wiki when intrested in features) Chopper with Powerfull ATGM Rockets.Take a unit of Veterans with 2 Choppers.
7.Helicopters-B Bo105/PAH 1 A1
The A1 Version is the upgraded Version with HOT-2 Rockets.Take a unit of 4 Choppers.
8.Airplanes-A: F104-G Starfighter
In germany the Starfighter has no good Name.. More than 100 Pilots died in Crashs,the Plane was called Whidowmaker.But this was not the Plane fault,it was overloaded and forced in roles it was not build for.Well in our Deck its our main Anti-Air Plane.We take both avaible units.
8.Airplanes-B : Alpha Jet
The Alpha Jet is our Anti-Tank Fighter Bomber.We take 1 Unit Soldiers with 3 Planes.The Alpha Jet carries Anti-Tank Cluster Bombs.Its very effective when you know in forest are enemy vehicles hidden.It also has a Autocannon.
8.Airplanes-C: Tornado IDS
The Tornado IDS is a ECM Plane (Electro. Counter-Measures),the WSO (Weapon-systems-officer) Job is to operate the Laserbeam to find targets for the Maverrick Air-Ground Rocket.The Maverrick is a 2,50 long Air to Ground Rocket with a 56kg Warhead (a Hellfire rocket contains 8kg).It can be used against all type of ground Targets.The WSO also operates the ECM System which includes several systems designed to block and fake the enemy radar and Anti Air Rockets.Short said:The Tornado can fly into enemy area,shoot its rocket and return with a high chance of survival.It also carries 2 Anti Air Rockets and the advanced Mauser BK 27mm Revolvercannon.
Take the 1 unit which is avaible.
The End
This is the End.Please understand that this is not my suggestion for the "No1 everytime Winner Deck",its my suggestion for dedicated West German Deck,mostly thought for Bundeswehr Fans.If you have any suggestions (English or German) tell me please,just add me in Steam ;)

simply: OUT OF DATE should be removed or marked as such as most thing doesnt work that way anymore.

This deck worked for me, although I ran out of supplies very quickly.

Good Deck (But Lars 2 is useless and to expensiv Tanks) But it's good

FoB is bad supply/slot and huge investment in early game. Better buy moar supply trucks.
Raven 13 Jun, 2013 @ 6:35pm 
I haven't had a chance to read through the whole guide, but I commend you on taking initiative and writing one. We need more of them! One issue I saw is in regards to FoB's. In fact you -do not- lose the game if your FoB's are captured. You don't even need a FoB at all! There's nothing requiring you to put one in your deck, or place it on the field if you do have one. In fact, many proficient players play without a FoB altogether because it's such a large investment of points at the start of a match, and not as versatile as a stack of supply trucks.

Its important that you active Bonus Deck-West Germany.When you look in the Arsenal in the Unit Description (you can also see it on the Screenhots in the Guide) at the lower right corner you see : Prototype : Yes
All units which are Prototype are only avaible when you select Bonus Decks.Bonus Decks for little Nations like West Germany also gives you more Points,in case of Germany +5
When you dont activate the Bonus Deck > West Germany you wont have enough points and not all units used in the Guide

Kex i wrote it at same Parts.In the Create Deck Menu you have to click on the Middle Button (Bonus) and select in first Tab Nato and West Germany.This gives you the 43 Points used in this Deck as well as the Prototypes you mentioned.

I noticed that in my deck I couldn't find the Wiesel MK20/TOW, and in support I could not find the Panzermoerser M113 thing, I have checked twice hehe. Everything else seems to be there. Oh well, ill throw in some other things that are my favorites.

I'll give this deck a try, and that plane too for now. I'm writing a guide as well, hopefully you'll read it and leave comments. Good work, I can tell you put a lot of work into this
