Wehr HT call-ins are useless. To expensive for what they do. That's why nobody calls them.

@ThoseDeafMutes - every single USF vehicle's problem (except Easy 8 maybe) is that it's to thin, and can be lost in a split of a sec.
As far as I can see, there are only two ways to solve this: eather increase teir health eather make them more deadly on their specific targets. Meaning eather they kill faster and this way they have a chance to survive the fight, eather they have more health and need to receive more shots in order to be killed. Just making them cheaper won't bring any good.

I'd rather see trenches improved. Why in the world would anyone build a trench?

@Ciez

"Cost of a P4:

T1 + BP 1 + T2 + BP 2 + T3 + P4:
(80/10) + (200/45) + (120/15) + (200/55) + (160/25) + (350/125) = 1110 manpower/275 fuel

Cost of a Tiger: (I'm operating under the assumption that T2 is a necessity because of how strong it is)
T1 + BP 1 + T2 + Tiger
(80/10) + (200/45) + (120/15) + (740/230) = 1140 manpower/300 fuel"

Your calculation is questionable. From game point of view,to get a P4 you only need to build a bunker, Bp1, Bp2, then build T3. Or: build T1, Bp1, Bp2 then build T3. Or: Bp1, build T2, Bp2, build T3.
For a Tiger, imagine you use mechanized assault with let you with alot of options on what building you should build or not. There are to manny variables that could make this calculation look according to the one calculating's interest.

What I am about to say now will probably make me a singular case on this forum. I have no problem with call-in system right now. The only faction abusing of current call-in system is soviets and that is because their faction architecture. They are supposed to base themselves on the doctrine they pick. Faction's feature: mediocre core army, excellent doctrines, unlike Ostheer for instance : good core army, not to manny good doctrines. So actually the frustration seed related to actual call-in syustem relies in how one faction is built (soviets) and there's nothing you can do. You like it or not but changing it won't bring a good thing. But this is just my opinion.

Last time I've checked, sov rep stations were not stock buildings and they belong to a doctrine that makes it impossible to maintain any infantry army and get armor-you can do only one of these and even that won't go good on the long run, they are a must have for the doctrine to be working[and even then its bad], not a convenience stuff that OKW gets for free with tech.

USFs crews repair slower then any other unit, but keep the mobility of the armor up.

And your point is?

So instead of admitting you're wrong, you proposed two scenarios where you got fucking outplayed. If infantry get close enough to "merry go round" a maxim in a building you fucked up. If the got close enough to toss in a grenade you also fucked up.

Now realistically a maxim or two in a building will lock down an entire sector around the house because they can redeploy at a stupidly fast rate, deal high damage at range translated into instant suppression and subsequent pinning of a squad or multiple squads.

Ipso Facto the maxim outperforms every German equivalent by miles. And even if you give me the "use German mgs defensively" crap, it wont change the fact that a maxim can sprint into a fully prepared MG set up while under suppression, continue firing while pinned while simultaneously suppressing the German MG, then pinning the German MG and killing it.

The maxim for all intents and purposes is OVERPOWERED.

I can't agree to that. I don't think maxims are OP right now.

If a stuka could fire more than 2minutes at a time without bulletins and vet, I'd think it might be a bit OP but as it is, it's fine. It's a semi durable, very expensive, short ranged, heavy firepower mobile artillery piece. It only takes two shots to kill, and for the significant price OKW pays for it with 66% of the fuel and 80% of the munitions every other faction gets without the benefit of constructible caches, I think it's a pretty fair trade!

With all tbese pathetic calls for nerfs on anything effective in the OKW arsenal, I can't help but feel disappointed at how this community would seek to destroy the "resource starved, but elite" army. If OKW were nerfed to appease every whine and every German hater, the OKW would just be "resource starved and mediocre."!

How do you justify their crippling resource income if you remove every powerful or effective tool that they have hmm?

You are stating these to vehemently, but you're right.
