I've been trying to use the OKW Flak Halftrack lately and I'm left with the impression that it's more trouble than it's worth. The only reason it's usable is the attack-move bug, which shouldn't be there in the first place. Even with that, I almost never see this unit in use - which is too bad because I think the concept is interesting.

Pros of the Flak Halftrack
- Can arrive extremely quickly
- Good suppression
- Attack-move bug allows it to set up while on the move
- Kills bunched-up infantry very quickly
- Can shoot down aircraft
- Decent vs. Soviet T1 - (but then who goes Soviet T1?)

Cons of the Flak Halftrack
- Arguably the most micro-intensive unit in the game
- Countered by comparable Allied vehicles
- Gets engine-critted easily
- Doesn't kill spread-out infantry very quickly
- Poor mobility
- Extremely vulnerable to anti-tank guns
- Rather fragile

So I'm left wondering what exactly to do with it. Personally, I'd like to see the attack-move bug removed, the set-up time reduced significantly or even eliminated (so that it can fire immediately after it's stopped), and maybe a moderate damage-output increase. It also needs to be less vulnerable engine criticals.

Any thoughts on this unit? Anybody out there actually use it?

Flak HT is decent if you've got the micro, but it's a big investment into something that is very difficult to use once AT guns hit the field. AEC is also a threat.

TL;DR: Flak Halftrack is really risky.

The Volksgrenadier K98K shouldn't get buffed this patch. Maybe next time around if it's still needed.

Shreck is honestly fine. Never understood why people dislike it so much. Now if Volks suddenly get good against infantry - and that's a real possibility right now - it becomes an issue. Until then, it's not.

Haven't played it, but my immediate impression is that OKW will be incredibly OP with these changes. The other changes look pretty fine I guess, although LeIGs and Pack Howitzers are still stupid.
