You never want P4 unless you facing all soviets no matter what, so that's t3 gone, and if you don't have call ins you NEED to get to t4 so you have something to compete against the allied medium spam that's incoming.


So are you honestly saying Ostheers over priced teching is good design because people skip it? Because I can't pin down what you are trying to say here.


If Ostheer only builds t1 and t2, they only already spent a little bit less than it takes for Soviets to go t1 or t2 to t3 or t4 (not fuel wise, MP wise).

Both Soviets and Ostheers teching are broken, but at least soviets don't have to put with insane teching costs just to get to their only viable late game units.




The PIV isn't viable because of the Jackson and the fact it's in a tier were every other unit in it is useless. It has zero to do with the T34/76, which is fine unit that's only weakness is that it falls off in viability late game.

It's a statement I apologized for, but you keep bringing it up as a "gotcha" when literally all I did was accidentally read the stats for the ToW KV1, which is right next to the MP KV1 on the coh2 stats website.

Soviets don't have a high MP drain in teching comparable to Ostheer unless you literally build your tiers linearly, as in make every single building in order from t1 to t2.

I do support my grens with a HT, MG-42, and multiple other things but that isn't going to stop a 1919 horde of rifles or a BAR's player who knows how to use smoke. Don't assume the person your arguing with is an idiot, and you won't get embarrassed like this.

And raising the reinforcement cost will again, do nothing because the MP float is a matter of lacking options to spend it on new units, not a case of to cheap reinforcement.



Luftwaffe is pretty subpar in every way compared to the other doctrines you can take, it's expensive munitions wise, and Fallsch are very much glass cannons. On urban maps with lots of cover they are okay, but require a shitload more micro for what they can actually get done.

Fortifications is the second or third best OKW doctrine atm.

And yes I have faced off against gren spammers, but not for long because something something mortars something something smoke something something tanks.

Ostheer isn't trash, it's just not as good. And Soviets have had several units buffed/changed since WFA came out. The IS2 used to be garbage nobody used and now it's very common.

And the 120mm mortar is the longest ranged and most durable mortar in the game, for 400 mp it's well worth the investment. But you don't need 120mm in order to wipe squads like nobodies business.

Ultimately Ostheers biggest issue is 1. Not being able to stand up to Soviet Call in's and 2. Not being able to keep up with Soviets tech wise, due to the MP drain.

There was a absolute insane increase in DPS when WFA came out, the reason 4 man squads worked before WFA was because the game was created around the idea of all soviet squads having 2 extra men.

And yeah I'm really sorry your 6 men squad occasionally get wiped by a mortar, or 2 of the most expensive Axis tanks in the game, or rifle nades (which you get a massive warning about).

The whole idea of Axis being limited to 4 man teams died when WFA came out, both vanilla factions should have been reworked. Soviets given a better teching system and stock units, Ostheer given a cheaper teching system and 5 man squads.
