We are going to replace the roof on our house - today we have a stick roof/shingle roof with battens and concrete tiles.
We are now going to use single-profile clay tiles but the question is this: should we remove the stick roof and replace it with tongue and groove boards and felt, or should we leave the stick roof as it is and use a breathable membrane as protection under the tiles?

There is an alternative, which is oil-hardened masonite. If you are going to use a diffusion-open cloth, you must construct the roof first before installing it to avoid holes.
All the alternatives are common, so go with what you are most comfortable with. Oil-hardened masonite is the simplest.

Have you calculated the roof so that the rafters can handle the dimensional snow load? Hammarband is the horizontal beam at the top of the wall. I don't know what the vertical beam under the hammarband that you sometimes see running along the entire wall is called. But an avväxlingsbalk is called that which allows you to place roof trusses over window openings. Do not remove the braces before you have installed the entire exterior panel.
