Profile of Widerstreit

That has to be tested in a small mod. Only costs- and DPS-comparision isn't how to balance a game. Nearly all huge mods (e.g. Wickinger) are banalced by testing, baised on an idea.


I think changing the tech-system of weapons are nearly perfect. Maybe some tech-time changes and +/- price adjustment.




Also important is the Bofors-Question (too much DPS, too worse impact).
-> Better changes it's weapon-profile with OKW base or Ostwind. Would be a rebalancer, less fu*ks but better use-ability.

M8A1 Howitzer Motor Carriage also is a problematic unit. Way too much accureacy, broken weapon-profile.
-> You can't blobb Brummbärs (too much micro-needed) but you can blobb M8s.




Beside, StuG E has way too mach structure-damage. Balance that. ^^

So, last chance to fix Ostwind.

Simply give it same stats as OKW T3 base without suppression.

buffed pen -> buffed AOE damage -> buffed accuracy


still worse than Centaur.


Option for OKW Ostwind a suppresion ability gives main-gun a Suppression effect.



Best way would be also to change line-up, but that is a different story:

T3: Panzer 4, StuG III G, StuG III E
T4: Panther, Ostwind, Panzerwerfer

Brummbär gets changed with StuG E in two commanders.

Also nice side effectt would be, because StuG E can get used with hull-down Ostheer gets a long-range light arty alternative it is lacking.

I would like to see all Tigers get same stats as new Ace. And Ace becomes a King-Tiger instead.

This is getting off topic, but what would a mortar bring that the ISG doesn't already do?
Volks would need the flame nade either way because indirect will always be behind expensive tech and OKW would lose the match before they'd be able to get it.

Yep, it becoming really offtopic, but interesting.

E. g. now a small example:
- assault-pioneers with sprint ability, can deploy a small expolsive (a mix of barriers-demos but dps of Geballte)

- Volks with normal grenades and Faust

Only the sprint ability for Pios change the hole lineup, because you can force the MGs to change the trarget. If they force the Pio, the Volks can threw grenades (weak ones of panzer-füssiliere) inf Pio arrives, he can deploy a explosive. After that your unit has waisted all abilities to engage the HMG, now the enemy can push with his own inf.

A UK player can benefit from the extra range of emplacements, to make it not too easy fost OKW reduceing the long-range. A mortar would force OKW to become closer to the enemy. Fitting better to changed design of early game tools and straight forward tactics.


If we now put the leIG18 to Ostheer, we can design the leIG18 more aggressive. Removing passive fire, but push the abilities. Because Ostheer is missing pushing-power. The Gewehrgranate of Grenadiers filling the short-range mortar. LeIG18 give the option to make PaK40 less present, so light tanks has a higher survival rate, but can also be counterd earlier. Moving Ostheer to a more elegant fraction, attacking with coordination.

Has to show my ideo by a mod... my english inst good enough for to formulating my mind.

OKW actually having a mortar would allow the flame grenade to be replaced by normal one, solving some of the issues with VGs. The flame grenade could then be added to doctrine.


An MG-34 swap both light and heavy could de done more for cosmetic reasons, swapping the model but not the properties.

I am in love. Has to be tested.

Like I said, I have no time this week. Are you interested in a small cooperation for a balance-patch? It is way easier simply to show changes, instead of waisting time for discussions.
