Played around with them a bit. They can get the FG42 upgrade before the Schwere Schlepper is upgraded. If the timing feels off the upgrade could be locked behind that. |
They are good but not OP. The fast vetting isn't really a problem. Mind you they are 4 men and easily countered in the mid game by vehicles.If they are turned down again they will give you nothing over Obers. |
OKW too opressive? Really?
I have made the experience that OKW can't counter Maxim (or .50 cal) spam at all. The LeIG is to slow to react. Barrage? Reposition the Maxim. Smoke? Reposition the Maxim. And the only other option OKW has is infantry, which will get countered by a second Maxim. The lack of Flamethrowers and Snipers seriously hurts the ability of OKW. |
"We feel that the Hetzer is in a good spot™."
Are we playing the same game?

Rip German Mechanized doctrine.
Standard in my loadout at this time. Now propably going to be deleted.
Command Panzer IV gets yet another nerf... and spotting scopes lose their offensive purpose on StuGs and Panthers. Meh. |
StuG just needs a bit more frontal armor and its fine. It should be able to reliably bounce some shots with vet2. It even tells you in the description/ bulletins that it has good frontal armor. Yet in its current state I hardly see it bounce any shots even with vet2. |
All I need to see is a rework of the hull down ability.
Make it that the tanks can hulldown themselves and immediately move out of it with a right click. (I have used it so little I dont even know whether they already can move out of it but I remember an annoying delay). |
StuGs are quite viable.
The big advantage Ostheer has is the medium tank spam, especially in 2vs2. This actually got me up in the 2v2 ladder. You can overwhelm the enemy with the sheer mass of vehicles.
You can get out 3 specialised mediums (StuG, Ostwind) for every two Panzer IVs.
The only thing the StuG might need is some frontal armour since the armor value it currently has is laughable. |
The only problem with the MG34 I have is that it arrives at a time when I don't really want any MG. You already have your coutner blob as OKW since that's the only option you have as OKW and you are usually getting out your first vehcile by the time you can buy an MG34. |
Last time I played Fallschirmjäger the squad died while airdropping into a single tree.
That "feature" needs to be fixed for any airborne unit. It sucks.
Other than that Falls are redundant and fill no real role. They can seomewhat stand up against Bars and Bren blobs... however not for cost. I see nothing they can do better than Obers. And I don't consider a Faust canging their role. |
