I just wish that the OKW to have a proper AT.
OKW and ost lack a lategame spamable allrounder tank.
Panther is good vs armor, but lack good AI, when you spam panthers, you stay there with 3 of them and try to kill one AT gun or ptras penals for ages.
you can spam p4 as okw..which lack HP and range and are eaten by anything lategame.
ost can build brumbars, which let you struggle vs any kind of lategame armor.
while all allies running around with their allrounder tanks Comets, T34-85 and Easy8. and demolish everything in their path, when be spammed.

What is wrong? in a late-game OKW is always hindered by pop-cap and very few units selections. Do you expect a veteran 0 raketeen to PEN heavy tanks late game? Which can be easily melted by veteran infantry because of its range?
With OKW fuel starved and expensive only option P4 who can't even pen a COMET or Easy 8.
Or a PUMA which has 0 armor and 1 HP?

Panther has solid AI, especially if you Sit on them. All pintles ramp rapidly with range, so just sit on top of the AT gun and it will die. Or get a SZF. You know. The non-doc anti-blob tool.
OKW P4s are AMAZING, with massive initial armor that can bounce M36 shots and that classic P4 gun, which has best-in-class AI and AT. WITH either a pintle or doctrinal commander. Jesus.
Brumbars annihilate infantry and team weapons... what's the problem?
What all-rounder tanks? All 3 of those get spanked by Panthers and Tigers. 2 Vet 1 E8s are needed to kill 1 Panther and they have very similar AI due to a quirk of how AI AoE works, the T-34/85 is pretty much a P4J with health instead of armor (thats why its SO GOOD). Comet comes super late, and lost much of its AI bleed in a previous patch. It has Cromwell grade AI.
Just.... build Panthers late game. Maybe pick a commander with Tank Commander so you can artillery AT guns.
And everyone loses if fuel starved. Period. Its a reason I prefer 3v3, it has the highest rate of safe Fuels in the game.

Wfa have imo always been spam faction regarding mainlines. Esp okw had/has an easy time spamming, this creates a idea that no other units are viable.
I woudnt call okw fuel starved. In the sense you dont loose many vehicles generaly as okw. Their stock vehicles imo generate the most value out of all stock vehicle options. The are very sturdy with high armour and high hp and good speed and
good damage.
The (okw) p4 has a better chance of penning a comet then the t34 has to pen a panther. Also both p4's have a greater one hit kill radius then the cromwell and t34. Nothing strange or up here. You cant have everything on one unit.
Okw has the insta supress mg34 and flaktrack to protect the raketten wich can retreat from inf who generaly dont excel at long range combat.
The raketten is cheap t0 atgun with retreat and garrisson. You cant expect it to reliably pen allied heavies. Okw has the panther and kt for that.

But that's not OST or OKW's faction design. Spammable generalist tanks are SOV's hallmark. In return for not having that, they get specialist tanks that are better in a specific role. You use them in conjunction to each other. Spamming one tank only is not how Axis armor beats Allied armor.
(Coincidentally one of these is also a cheap AT tank built from T3 that can trade with said generalist tanks by being the exact same fuel cost or less. Yes, I'm talking about the 90 fuel StUG)
Panther is good vs armor, but lack good AI, when you spam panthers, you stay there with 3 of them and try to kill one AT gun or ptras penals for ages.
As others have already pointed out this isn't necessarily the case when it comes to isolated teamweapons. However, in the case that they're stacking up teamweapons OKW gets access to the Stuka which goofs on them with a little effort.

More words, fewer emojis. This isn't the shoutbox
Not sure what you're laughing at anyway cause the mg34 suppresses very fast compared to some other MGs...

Better than the Maxim or Vickers, worse than the 42, 50 cal, or DHSK. It's really not an "Instant suppression" machine.

Friendly reminder for people who still, after 8 years, don't know how to fight M3, especially now that its more squishy then butter left on the sun - PFs still arrive with ATG.
While Panzerfusiliers do arrive with their Anti-tank grenade, they are, of course, doctrinal. Ideally you shouldn't "need" to use doctrines to deal with vanilla equipment.

Yeah honestly playing as SOV against an OKW without pfusies was just losing for them from the beginning unless they got a raketenwerfer.
Then again this was before the armor got removed so you couls still pull off goofy shit like drive into the enemy's cover to scatter them and drive away nearly unscathed.
EDIT: SOV T1 with M3 I mean of course.

It's BARELY worse than the 42/.50 cal. Sanders tests from a while ago showed this, Im trying to find them. Don't remember if the dshk was included
Also he clearly doesn't mean literally instant... It's relative, especially to the maxim
Edit: Haven't found the full test but here's a mention of how close the 42 and 34 are:

It was obviously exgagerated.
Still Mg34 supresses a lot faster then what allies generaly get. The tiny arcs dont really make the .50 and duska better.
I would think that the supression of the mg 42 and 34 being really close would be common knowlidge.

Friendly reminder - suggesting doctrinal counters to a non-doctrinal unit is a useless suggestion and worthy of such responses you are receiving.
To the OP, you must learn how to factor a roketen in to your build when facing M3 flamer play from Soviets.
