A small cost increase is all it needs. If a sherman is at 75% hp already a axis mine will normally destroy it, a lot of times it will only take one more shot from a panther etc after it hits a mine at full hp to knock it out.

With your race car panthers and considering it does take a little time to actually get out and repair it and you can't finish it off? There is delays on sherman smoke which cannot be used on top of the sherman directly and attack ground still works on USF tanks too. In general you have very little risk chasing any injured USF tanks with a panther? What are usf going to do to your panther use our POS At gun or zooks that can't pen it and do shit dmg when they do?

If USF didn't have this I think they would be screwed. USF tanks are already punished hard for making just one step too far. If a pz4 or panther makes a wrong move they usually get away with it. USF have to be somewhat aggressive with their tanks when attacking they are not built as a faction to sit it out with axis and normally do not win that way.

So for the most part we are having to extend our tanks a lot farther into riskier situations than what axis has to.

Plus the panther even when it hits a mine is not that slowed really and does not mean instant death because of its great front armor and the shrecks paks and raktens always everywhere. The way axis factions are designed defensively it is way easier for them to protect wounded tanks than usf or soviets for that matter they don't need to extend them as far and don't really even need tanks for offense like USF they are more for defense.

So imo axis have in general better armor and health that helps passively to preserve armor the opposite for USF I think is why we have a little gimmick to possibly help us have some armor preservation because it takes a lot of shermans to take out a panther tiger or what have you. Crit repair is never a gauranteed get out of jail card.

Fixing the bleed and filling the indirect fire holes are very much on the to-do list but neither of those things excuse the current absusable state of superglue.

I don't know I think it should still happen almost instantly it is not easy to pull off and you have to consider like 9 times out of 10 if it is rifle naded (which now requires the tank to already be damaged to work) or hits a mine its going to be badly wounded and only take like 1 or two AT hits depending to knock it out. It takes pretty good micro to use it as it is and smoke cover is a lot of times necessary if it can be done in time like a teamates sherman or another of your own. I mean It is harder to do than panzer tact smoke or hitting blitzkreig button. Especially if the cost is raised.

EDIT: also it does take like 5 seconds for the crew just to get out of it giving more time for it to take another at gun or shrek hit what have you.

I would say American vehicles have the best survivability in the game, keeping USF vehicles alive is easy mode. I mean how often can you say you've had a vet 3 scout car or kubel reach the end of the game like an m20 can?

Ummm what magic smoke and magic race car retreat blitzkrieg. Just no they don't, in general they have less armor and hp than their axis equals.

"You as comunity" ruined OKW and now you think it's "bad designed" while in alpha, beta, and at the beginning of WFA were simply loving the faction, nothing about "bad design" said then. It became "bad designed" only after fanboys tears destroyed it. The soviet nerfs you mentioned were blatantly needed since longtime ago, long before they were asked. And they only ocured because the same fanboys, bored to death to play only one faction, tried a little axis factions too, and they didn't win anymore. And they like to win. The "against OKW" offensive stopped because the faction is simply wrecked (LOL "balanced" LOL) but now, what do you know, Ostheer starts to be what it's supposed to be. The mg42 change (needed for such a long time) just came and we already have 1-2 threads in which nerfing is required in order to make it shit as it was before. The stug was recenlty changed back into what it supposed to be, a TD, and now we have a TWP thread.

I am sure especially in team games you were loving the faction when you had to do nothing but make unkillable volks squads that countered all allied armor and obers that out dpsed all allied infantry and then just make a KT every single game. Boring as hell and dumb. They are much more balanced now and most I see using a lot more combined arms especially since the rakaten buff. The way it should be. Would also be alright with them having a medium tank but that is about all I see them missing maybe a mortar only if they give USF one.

Most people me included are fine with the MG 42, but are not happy with the fact the maxim remains nerfed to shit as it has been and is useless. Also that USF don't have great options to counter it, but I am fine using smoke.

This always seems typical of the axis having better things and allies not having the equivalent from everything to doctrinal to non-doctrinal. Stuff like calling in a Tiger Ace which is just a dumb idea to begin with. I mean if they were going to buff the MGs then fine why did they not do the same for soviet?

Like my clan is pretty much on top of everything when it comes and 3's and 4's and we dropped KT spam a while ago after it's armor got nerfed. It's a lot more efficient to combine a Panther with a Stuka or some other combo.

I said it before, I wouldn't have a problem with the KT being limited to 1 if they gave OKW a generalist medium tank.

I often wonder why more OKW players don't use the medium tank commander? Does not seem like a terrible one. If they gave you a medium tank Alex it would just be more burning panzers and food for my shermans kappa.
