you shall not remove the circle ritual, for its the most impotant feature of OKW

I would like to see a revesme movement on raketens though

Churchill is stupidly durable. A high popcap is the only real cost of it. Resources are not lost until the tank is destroyed.

Once rocket artillery starts to roll out, 5 man grens the only viable ostheer infantry.

That´s it.

You need 5 man grens, simply so they don´t die in a rocket artillery barrage.

Or maybe its time to implement a "brace" skill for 4man grens ;p

Increasing AoE damage resistance at the expense of stayin put (negative RA)

I think a core issue no one is taking seriously addressed is relative speeds.

Panthers and Jacksons have to have the same speed roughly speaking, because they both hunt each other. One has better acc/range and the other armor/hp

In the case of KT even though it has a very big HP pool and armor, its speed is mainly the reason it is so vulnerable. It is understandable that it cant be fast, both thematically ingame and IRL, but kiting a KT is both, very effective and micro intensive for the allied player, meanwhile the axis player must back up somehow the "best" unit instead and rarely use the KT as a support for the rest of the units.

If KT were to be compared to chess pieces, it SHOULD be the queen, (its the only logical analogue). Chess queens are higly mobile, very useful for aggressive movements but also very useful to support other pieces, it comes to a price, obviously, its rarity and reliable trade for any other piece, thats why you protect a queen in chess. In a turn based game a good anti-queen move is one composed by at least two other pieces. In RTS its hard to set up a good analogy but surely its related to APM tax.

Setting up a way too high APM tax to trade effectively (not killing single handed) a KT is a frustrating mechanic, an easy play for axis, a hard play for allied. To me that is a bad balance mechanic.

The way i would fix KT is simply making it an specialized AT tank, remove the AI almost completely. A top of the food chain unit should be vulnerable to the first unit available and the spine of their armies, mainline inf. I could be radically wrong, but at least its my 2 cents, as a humble oppinion. I think infantry tactics can be less frustrating than intense vehicle microing. Being said that i acknowledge that infantry AT is but a joke against a KT. Thats why i am out of ideas of how could infantry beat a KT.

Why not reducing autofire rate of fire, just to add more risk or force player to stay longer to get "accurate" shots
