1.I believe the OKW mine is the same as the SU mine(stat and cost-wise).
2.They changed it to regular barbed wire, it just looks the same as before
3.Only at mid range.
4.Yeah, they are arguably the second best grenades in the game(Commandos grenade/mini satchel is boss).
5.I rarely if ever see this used, kinda a forgotten/overlooked ability.
Things to consider though, unit is 300MP and 30-32MP to reinforce. This unit is the only decent combat unit for OKW until late game, expensive Obers(non-doc).
1. it is the same mine afaik
2. the okw wire can be cut like normal wire (before it could not) but it still cant be run over by anything less than a medium iirc
3. nothing to add
4. agreed, they rock and are for some reason frequently ignored
5. VERY handy when going fast luchs into t4, i will usually drop one at base when i retreat my sturms so i can top off low health guys without teching
also worth adding
6. can put away their sweeper AND get bonus repair speed with the upgrade that costs the same
7. ignore mud/deep snow
8 0.87 target size
the are expensive, and losses hurt but they usually hurt the enemy more than they hurt you (assuming you don't pretend they are shock troops) and in the early game there isnt much that can stand up to them if not anticipated
