- I am for giving Volksgrens the AT-rifle-grenade without requirements. (remove the Faust)
- I am for giving Volksgrens a normal grenade (remove the fire-nade)
- I am for giving Sturmpioniers a klick-me-bomb (removing the shock-nade at Vet3)
- I am for replace Püppchen with my alternative design for leIG18.
- Make Püppchen a Commander-Unit.

OKW is simply a shit of a fraction-design, same for Brits. And Ostheer would be better with Soviets-tech-System and Soviets would be better with Ost-tech-System...

so...

I think the Brits adequately showed what happens when you'd remove snares from a faction. Replacing the Rakettenwerfer isn't an option either, as it would either leave OKW without an ATG (if you'd keep the AT/AI ISG in Battlegroup) in the most viable meta (Mechanized) or it would make Battlegroup even less attractive (if you'd move the ISG to the HQ).

I'd also be against units that efficiently serve two distinct roles at the same time. I never liked how with the ZiS going for heavy anti-tank also gives good AI (or anti support weapons) and by now it's clear that giving the M-42 a dual role was a mistake as well. The game is about strategic unit choices with limited resources and dual purpose units are bad for balance.


OKW does need some redesigns, but mostly to make spread out the faction's power level more evenly across all stages of the match (tone down opening power, earlier Obers, etc.) and to get rid of some cheesy mechanics of certain units (Raketten stealth creep, Uhu, etc.) so the faction becomes more enjoyable both to play with as well as against.

my only change would be that penals start costing less MP, but with guards mosins and need to buy their SVTs OR PTRS' instead of transitioning between the 2 seamlessly. there should always be a tactical choice in getting AT like there is for literally every other unit that upgrades to it.

Not a bad idea but it couldn't be Guards Mosins, which are very good rifles. High moving accuracy and 6x 16 damage with only slightly lower DPS would actually be more powerful than SVTs.

People still build JT and Ele?

Only literally every team game that isn't Ettelbruck Station.

And that does not justify having more rear armor than they do while having less frontal armor.

How exactly? All of those tanks have significantly better guns or frontal armor to protect themselves. If the Churchill was easily destroyed by a cheap flanking medium tank, no one would ever build it. Its survivability is literally all it has, compared to the doctrinal heavy tanks who all have significantly better offensive capabilities.

Your claim that because a tank is label "heavy" it should win over a "medium" is simply flawed. Heavy tanks simpy not "hard" counters to mediums tanks.

Given the fact that the generalist heavy tanks KV-1 and Churchill will confidently win in the majority of fights versus the generalist medium tank P4J that costs approximately the same I'd say my point is pretty much proven, but yeah whatever I'm sure it's "simply flawed" for unknown reasons.

b) The fact that one is medium tank and the other heavy is rather irrelevant, performance has to with price and not with label.

So a LefH 18 should be able to defeat an M15? Or maybe unit role and charactaristics are relevant to performance/balance along with the unit price?

It is literally one of the purposes of a slow heavy tank to counter a generalist medium tank. You know, as part of that rock-paper-scissors thing that the entire game is kind of about.
