Repairs are less of an issue nowadays, so it can lose the damage reduction for real hitpoints. That should give the Axis a bit more time to breath during down time without compromising the vehicle's key role.

But even then you probably face shocks or rangers. So why even going for Obers at that point?

Because IR STG44 Obers win against those squads and don't need expensive abilities to do it.

They are not popular because Obers are not popular in 1v1. That should hopefully change now with the recent changes to the Schwerer. I see them often enough in teamgames and they are very strong.

As for design I would rather replace the weapon a 5 men ober unit with less DPS and vet bonus designed for such a unit.

How is their current vet not already perfectly designed for a brute force AI unit? They get all the combat bonuses they could ever wish for, and they get the strongest variants (+40% acc, -25% cooldown, -29% RA). They even get four incredibly useful abilities with vet.

Their 4 men durability is the only thing that keeps this upgrade balanced, removing that would be a mistake.

Just put them inside the Command PV so no longer infinite range and then you can add something like the Sturm Offizer.

It meets my criteria and Relics for a "super heavy". Similar CP, tech requirement, cost and as Tigers/IS-2/Persings and ost importantly limited to 1.

If tech, cost and CP requirements are the criteria, and by that criteria the Tiger/IS-2/Pershing are superheavies, then what are the ISU-152, Elefant, Jagdtiger and Tiger II? Super superheavies?

Imo IS-2/Tiger/Pershing are generalist heavies. Sturmtiger and AVRE are specialist heavies. KV-2 and Crocodile are somewhere in between. Superheavies are the tanks that are clearly one tier up in regards to durability and/or firepower, i.e. the ones listed above, although you could also make a further distinction between superheavy tank, heavy tank destroyers and heavy assault gun.


Anyway, having both a powerful offmap/loiter and a heavy in the same commander is fine in my opinion, as long as the overal power level of the commander doesn't rise too high. Jaeger Armor and the ISU commanders had their offmaps removed because it made them too versatile as a whole, not because the particular combination of two abilities was too powerful. Commanders like Lighting War or Vanguard are fine. Commanders need to be attractive and powerful to be competitive and fun.
