Personally I have never had an issue with how crushing works. Seems the obvious solution is for relic to get off their ass and fix the pathing issues so infantry no longer dance around tanks etc. Obviously it won't happen, they have had since 2006 to get their pathing code to an acceptable standard and its still just as shit as it was back in the vcoh days.

Not to mention many other changes in this balance mod, such as mines, could have been fixed simply by fixing the pathing problems. Mines wouldn't wipe nearly as often if the pathing was up to the level it should be.

Brace working for only Artillery (which is extremely rare Early-Mid game) and Explosives (Even more Rare)? Wouldn't that be, in otherwords, pointless?

If this was to be done, two things need to be taken into consideration:

1) The Bofors is the only form of reliable AT Brits get early apart from the AEC (the faction's ONLY non-doctrinal Snare). Picking Bofors locks out the AEC. If Brace has no defensive applications, you will need to provide an equally effective AT Solution for the point it hits.

If the Balance patch hits as is, this is going to be twice as bad, with OKW having all its multitude of T0 AT Options invalidating Light/Medium/Heavy Vehicle play.

2) Losing Brace would mean British Emplacements would vaporise fast. They would need a Health increase/Armour increase to compensate for this.

Are you serious? Bofors requires the same tech as a 6 pounder AT gun which is arguably the best AT in the game excluding emplacements.

2) OKW emplacements and teir structures for that matter "vaporise fast" why should British be any different ?

Not liking the Sturm change to shrek. With the possible exception of USF every other faction needs to invest in AT guns in most instances and you're punished if you don't. Not seeing why OKW should be any different. They should have the same problem the other factions do, not a all in T0-T1 solution to armour. Granted Sturms can't be blobbed to the extent volks could but giving the ability for sturms to fast track vet and gain quick repair times seems like too much utility for a single unit. Maybe a solution would be to seriously nerf the AI of sturms if they have the shrek upgrade.

I'm also not liking the MG changes to OKW. Suppression + snare + shrek + AT gun buff is too much and its all in T0-T1. Lose the snare entirely (or possibly give to obers to make light-medium vehicles viable against OKW) or lose the shreks entirely. OKW should need to rely on their own AT gun and it should be on par with the other factions except in one area (range, damage, arc) to compensate for it's ability to retreat.

I'm liking most other changes and overall feels like a great improvement. Just seems like OKW need a rework as simply put they have a non doctrinal answer to everything which no other faction has to the same extent.

Couldn't resist uploading this. OKW beating rifle blob, then ranger blob and i think 4 pershings down to JP4 Just goes to show even with 50 vps one can still turn the game around
