Structure

The primary focus of this group was to be the main driving force for attacks. Designed for players who could always be on the attack.

This group specialized in defense. People on this group were best suited with weapons like the MG and Sniper rifle, trained to take their time rather than making the push, so that if the assault squad ran into resistance they had a defense to fall back on.

These were the people who would be called out in a tough time, sent into a place where there are many enemies trying to cap a flag, or holding an entire flank back with just an MG and some ammo they were the elite of the army. It was limited to 20 soldiers.

History

The Axis 5th Panzerjager was the only Light Armour unit to serve in the Afrika campaign. When Africa began to fall it was moved up to Normandy where it valiantly fought against the British at Caen, it was the only Armoured division to see combat on D-Day. But after sustaining loses from the Allied invasion it was move to the Russian front where it spent the rest of the war fighting.
