Stug got faster and harder to hit, grens dont get oneshotted at vet 3, ht heals

All good changes IMO, the only thing OH needs are slight adjustments to maybe stug TWP doing full dmg, or stupa getting its slight armor buff, which it does this patch.

Edit: since peaple conplain about 4 men grens, actually since the last changes i find them harder to wipe then volks at vet 3 becouse of how sqad spacing works.

And ofc to adress the overtuned cons and maybe usf pak then it will be fine. OH is not the wreck peaple make it up to be, since as i said beside of cons 7 men no allied units were recently that signifcantly buffed to make it a wreck

I think most just want OST to have a 50% win rate, rather than 37% (and USF/Sov having nearly 60%).

As for the rest of your comment, it's just been a slow general 'shift' towards OST being under-performing - not any specific change. I'd guess the 'shift' started just after WFA was released, since OKW was incredibly powerful back then (volk schreck blobs). Instead of fully nerfing OKW, they were only nerfed partly, and USF/Sov were buffed to meet at a mid-point. Meanwhile OST got received nothing.

Now we're in a situation where mainline infantry blobs can beat an MG42 head-on, where grens aren't dominant at max range (they trade w/ vet 3 M1919 rifles and double Bren-IS), and where the panther's high mobility doesn't compensate for its shorter range as a TD (M36 is faster with more range).

Again be happy that OH has been played this tournament, for the last one where it barely was picked(Command panther). OKW grand offensive is just too good. So only worse players choose OH in the first place resulting in lower winrate

To the rest of your post. Ostheer was barly touched in the last years and for a good reason, becouse it was and is a very good balanced faction. If anything OKW was brought in line with the other factions. But where are the significant buffs over the last lets say 2 years that broke ost? The small riflemen buff surely didnt. Cons 7 men and svt sure did. But those are getting adressed this patch.

Ostheer actally got significant buffs -100mp for t2, vet3 grens that dont get oneshotted. And ofc the bane of OH pack howi and scott got nerfed.

So again where was the patch that broke ost and started this crywave? All of the issues your presenting are old, so you wanna say OH was severly underpowered the whole time and peaple just noticed?

So to conclude, OH might actually be in a better spot than 2 years ago if one adresses the overtuned cons. (which is WOP)

Ost bunker need 1-2 pop cost. Cancer in 4v4

XD what about fighting emplacement . but hey a structure that dies to 3 pak shots must be very hard to deal with in a 4vs4 where arty and support weapons get spammed 24/7.

Seems more like a l2p issue for me

i would go for the minesweeper change, its a simple change that would allow more peaple into going schrecks. It is very costly to go for a 2 sturms since of the cost, and they dont perform so good on any map. 1 schreck isnt an at sqad either. So a schreck sqad loooses utility becouse of the constant threat of allied mines.

Allowing schreck and sweeper, a schreck sturm would have extra utility while sacrificing AI power

just dont allow the sandbags to be directly build against vps( by making a small area around the vp unbuildable), so the opposing side can also use vp cover and sandbags will be fine.

The only problem i see is with vps where one side can build sandbags but the other cant use it.

Otherwise sandbags are fine and add a nice little strategic depth into the game, sandbags wire tanktraps all are part of ww2
