Yes, it might be that we forgot some stuff, thanks for the feedback. If you notice any others, please let us know.

Edit: Do you mean the one from the commander tree of the one from the Captain?

The one from the command tree.

And I found another bug (I think):
-I had a Hauptmann using Increase Production ability on my PanzerFabrik. But after I unlocked the Waffen SS Lt from the Terror Command Tree he lost his Increase Production ability. It was replaced by an Inspired Assault Ability.
Was it supposed to be like that? Because the Waffen SS Lt that you can call-in has the Increase Production Ability :/

So if it was supposed to be like that its really weird.
The Hauptmann should have the Increase Production Ability (since he is not doctrine specific) and the Waffen SS should have the Inspired Assault (since he is from the Terror Doctrine and he is SS and all that).

And another bug :D
I had a full health Luftwaffe Pioneers and I put the to capture a 88mm that had lost its crew. They got on but the life of the crew was only at 50-60%...???

Does the wehrmact have fallschirmjagers and if they do, do they have fg 42's. Please tell me because this will be the deciding factor of whether I get this mod or not because if I do I have to delete blitzkrieg and botb to make room and I only have vanilla COH.
