Can we be an Hiwi ?? An anticommunist russian ! A lot of Hiwi were present inside Stalingrad.
They will talk in russian and will work for the german army.

It can be soo cool !! (and historical !)

Maybe they can have special moral against communism ??

The Russians should also get trained bears that can sniff out Hiwis so they wouldn't be overpowered.

Man you need to take another read through. Neither communism nor fascism was 100% accepted by either nation's people. Hence the massacres within on both sides.

Otherwise I think a Hiwi class for the Wehrmacht would be absolutely fantastic, however though I must admit I'm not sure how it would affect the gameplay positively. The actual chances of it being in the game due to possible complications is a bit out there, but that is why we have mods. Who knows, maybe some one else will take up the idea.

It would be interesting at the very least. I think if they could work out any unseen problems it would be great.

The reality is, there would be no difference between the germans and the hiwis...

Well what about spoken language? I understand outward appearence would not change drastically but there are things that could be implemented to make a difference, though it may be only slightly.

Unless the hiwi's get a special abilty that gives them the power to infiltrate the russian units. That be pretty cool.

as I stated before, a good portion spoke at least some german.

So what it boils down to, is that hiwis should be added because they speak broken german.

The combat hiwi troops look just like the germans and there will be no special anti communism/magic powers. So basically the only reason to have them in is so that 1/10th of the German team would speak in russian/ukranian when using the "insult" or "I need ammo" keybind?

No thanks.

And anyways, they wouldn
