Honestly, why write this? I have already made it clear that Eindhoven has been adapted.

Signed.

With a side note though: it won't be good for OKW to have access on 2 supression platforms (one mobile, one static). Imagine for instance what will happen if we simply switch between kubel and mg34.
Mg34, being a stock unit, will be built almost every game. Chosing one doctrine with kubel, that would give you in eraly game 2 suppression platforms - one static, one mobile - that could give you a to important advantage.
Of course I am aware that you can do this today too, if choosing an MG34 doctrine, but the phenomenon will be so much spread if we make mg34 non doctrinal and just switch the 2 units between them.

So my side note is in fact: make Mg34 a stock unit - in hq or med truck (most appropriate in hq), make kuble doctrinal in luftwaffe and fortifications, BUT remove supression from kubel, give it ability to decap and cap territory and increase its DPS with a small margin to make it still viable in early infantry confrontations.

I think that making MG34 a stock unit would be the safest way to change OKW because this way we won't have to change volks AI performance.

If you micro them properly, they can survive for a very long time. Use their mobility and vet 1 detection to your advantage. Keep them protected by mines and raketenwerfers so they don't get bumrushed by vehicles. They can dodge bazookas all day and if you have a mechanized command you don't even have to manually repair them.

They'll probably die eventually, but it's worthwhile to replace them here and there and there's a reason OKW can salvage vehicle wrecks... No different than replacing machine gun crews when they die.


There's also flak halftracks and ISG's to suppress stuff in the mid to late game. Not to mention the panzer command.
