We will be looking into possibly transferring the Observation Bunker's traits and abilities into a vehicle, based on all you guys' feedback.

Wow, that would be huge, i can't wait for the next patch notes!

@Modteam:
You were incredible responsive so far in the whole process. Maybe you can post here and comment the latest feedback regarding the bunker / alternatives. Thanks you in advance!

Not sure what else will not work.
But its seems very odd, because some People in germany can play without lags.

Its completely odd! My bro and myself are living in Augsburg, apartments are 3 km away, He never have this issues. I also never had this issues until the beginning of 2019. After that its massive on some days and on others you can play without any problems even during prime time.

I played some games in the last days to test the new commander and the buffed core units.
About Core changes:
Changes especially to Ostwind are great, Stugs are also better. I really like these changes and think that it will give wehr players a lot more options! The buffs to Pgrens are also very welcome but im still not convinced that the performance of the unit justifies its high cost/ reinforcement costs. I could live with the 340 MP cost but the unit should be more durable.

About Strategic Reserve
Observation bunker:
1. It is evident -at least to me- that the observation bunker is not really attractive. I can see myself building it occasionally in 3vs3 / 4vs4s but not in my preferred game mode 2vs2. You simple dont want to spend precious 200 MP BEFORE you can use an 60 mun ability with short range. Flares should definitely have more range (60) to justify the cost of the building. Right now you have to build the bunker close to the frontline to use the flares which also means that the bunker can easily be destroyed.

Thats why i would still prefer a standard recon ability OR an other ammo heavy ability over the bunker.
My preferred options:
a. Stuka Smoke drop:
Cheap recon ability, Smoke would have GREAT synergy with Assgrens and tanks. Stuka smoke drop would also be a unique ability for Ostheer and FITS a a lot better to the aggressive play style of "Strategic reserves".

OR

2. Reworked Sector Artillery from "Breakthrough".
The commander is lacking a heavy ammo based ability, strong arty fits to "Strategic Reserves" (General Staff providing additional mun reserves for a counter attack), Wehrmacht does not have great off map arty and "Sector Arty" needs a rework for years. Sounds like an promising combo, doesnt it?

2. The OKW P4
I always liked the better P4 for Wehrmacht and wanted the unit to stay because "Support Armor Corps" was so weak. And then came the not expected core changes!
I will NOT demand changes here but im really curious what you guys think about the unit. Is it still a good addition or is the better P4 not needed anymore after the buffs to Ostwind and Stug?

The doctrine that really needs the buildable 250 next patch is Ost Mechanized Assault, considering Panzergrenadiers will be in T0, so the whole tech skipping aspect of the mechanized assault group will be gone.

+1

And lets not forget "German Mechanized" with the obscure lgm-grens in 250.
