Would it? The 222 already comes quite early, what would the 221 add? Either it delays the 222 for some reason, or you can get it before the Leichte, in which case OST has an absurdly early light for...what reason?

The redesign would have:
221 with lower DPS with bonus damage vs sniper high penetrations. Role a counter sniper and soft counter micro lights.

222 higher cost and durability 20cm now a anti light tank gun. Role soft counter to light tanks.

That would help Ostheer counter light vehicles at the cost of delaying their tanks.

The 222 already fulfils that first role, however, while also being quite good at fighting infantry. OST also have their own sniper for countersniping... I'm just really not seeing why this is necessary.

Because 222 is currently OP and it has to be else Ostheer are overrun by light vehicles.

This is genuinely the first I've heard of the 222 being "OP".

Do you mean BP1? If you tech BP2 then you might as well build T3 at that point. I do think you could make Puma more similar to OKw timing that way and just fiddle with buildtime or cost if needed.

I mean BP1, of course. Sorry about that.

Not sure people who like to play Ostheer want to see the greyhound arrive earlier than their timing proposal for the PUMA because indeed it has to arrive earlier...

I would say to make the Puma 4 CP and buildable from Tier 2. Greyhound can be 3 CP and buildable from the HQ but must require either both officers or 1 officer and the 20 fuel side tech. Would make the timings more competitive for both units which come a bit too late to be effective at the moment.
