because the okw doesnt have paks. 2 the okw have a rather massive fuel penalty. 3 the okw lack medium tanks. 4. its mandatory for the okw to tech to get a panther out and cannot wait unlike the ost to stay in tier 2 for the tiger 5. for price the okw simply get shafted with the puma when compared to the m10.
1) This is why I said buff the Raket
2) That fuel penalty doesn't change the fact they can tech fast for JagdP, Puma, Panther and KT (Not to mention mech truck's ability to speed up the process).
3) JagdP and Puma are more than enough with combined double shreked Sturm and buffed Rakt (Note Ost double shreks can handle medium tanks by themselves, combo that with Pak).
4) You dont HAVE to build a panther.
5) You are underestimating Puma vs medium armor, a well microed Puma is deadly (Combo this with double shreks and Rekt).
