And if you check patch notes, you'll notice that over last 2-3 years the only ost units that weren't buffed are P4, pwerfer, sniper, pak and mortar. Some were buffed to the point when they had to be additionally nerfed afterwards.
I am not sure why you want bring the history of Ostheer patches up, no matter what the history is the fact remains that Ostheer did not perform good in the last tournament.
Fire and terror claim that allies have not gotten any significant buff the last two year. Now PLS explain if you agree with that or you do not agree with that.
But pls stop trolling and derailing this thread just because you want to disagree with anything I post.
Actually since the rework of usf none where touched exept the maxim got slight buffs. If anything 50 cal was nerfed ages ago by loosinf supression and vet 1 sprint IIRK. So USF just has better acess to its weapons making it a good faction.
But you are missing the impact of the tech changes. USF had always had great unit but the come with a price. Support weapons would come later and one would have either access to suppression and light vehicles or ATG , indirect fire weapon and light tank.
Actually those restriction where so important that they Airborne doctrine was designed to simply bypass them.
Once these restriction where removed USF become a faction not only with superior infatry and light vehicles but a faction that could beat ostheer in their own game of combined arms.
Not to mention a number of commander revamps that made USF commanders stronger and with more abilities.
soviets barely saw any change exept the 7 men and some slight adjustments. So i dont wanna hunt ghosts, i care about facts. We cant just mindlessly buff OH becouse we feel like it. Then we will have to buff the allies again etc.
Better of to slightly adjust the values and be done with it. Becouse the only nerf i can see for OH is the loss of puma, which made OH very dominant beforehand.
Now read my post did I say ostheer need buffs? What I said is that other faction need nerfs.
It can be argued Ostheer are certainly not perfectly designed themselves.
Part of the issue with keeping USF and UKF balanced over the years has been how early ostheer can cheese a sniper and roll into 222 or flamer HT. This is why AEC and m20, and Soviet tier 1 have had major redesigns numerous times over the years trying to solve this issue.
You can argue what ever you like but your example is balance issue and not a design issue.
It also flawed. The m20 and AEC did not "major redesigns numerous times".. Neither did Soviet T1 and it was not because of sniper/222 problem. It was because of maxim spam.
