Buff StuG E

It is complete trash compared to the ostwind.
Ostwind deals more damage to infantry
Ostwind can flank AT guns, has a turret
Ostwind can kill light vehicles with direct fire

Maybe some more commanders can get Puma and Jager command squad? It’s only in one commander

Luftwaffe supply and CAS are very bad. But, The fuel/munitions drop can be OP on maps where Fuel is not in center. Plus, compare them to Jager inf. Doc. It has and AT and an AI offmap, which is all you need, plus many more cool abilities.

I know it was said, no new units. But maybe, we could get in these commanders a reskinned Ostruppen squad, called flaktruppen or Luftwaffe jager. Same stats as ostruppen to avoid balance complications, just a different name to fit theme.

Just to push this discussion into the most productive way, here are a few guidelines for suggestions:
- no new units;
- no unit swapping between factions;
- changes should be as minimal as possible;
- new abilities are possible, but nothing crazy (think about mostly copying existing abilities);
- no total reworks of commanders, but multiple ability swaps or replacements per commander are possible if needed.

Broad goals:
- tone down meta commanders;
- increase the amount of viable/competitive commanders by buffing underperforming units/abilities or by replacing units/abilities;
- increase diversity for Ostheer and Soviet commanders in terms of viability and theme because of the relatively high amount of overlap for commanders in those factions.

These are quite contradictory statements, how can commanders be made more diverse if they have to use the same pool of units as before?

Why do people keep arguing about units in vaccum?
Example:

Ostheer is underperforming.
User 1: but they have (some unit)!
User 2: no they don’t!
User 1: yes they do!
Et cetera.

Wether they have (some unit) is objectively meaningless, as having (some unit) is obviously not helping them as they are under performing.

Instead, can we try and come up with solutions and then analyze those to see wether or not they fix the problem at hand?

When discussing game design elements like this, I think we need to try and keep the objective in mind, which is to make the game more fun.

RNG has both positive and negative impacts on fun.
Positives:
Makes each match unique, reducing boredom/fatigue.
Adds a layer of challenge, where you need to plan for multiple eventualities.

Negatives:
Unfair/unequal, Your opponent may get better RNG than you leading to you loosing the match.

Note: resources dont just include units and fuel/muni/manpower, but also micro and macro in this context.

RNG is a spectrum. Some events are common, while others are very uncommon.

If there is a high chance of something happening, then it is worth preparing for. A good example of this is missing a tank shot. Since there is a high chance of this happening, it can be justified spending resources to prepare for this eventuality, so if you decide not to prepare then it is your fault/your decision, which is frustrating but fair.
This type of rng is good, because it makes matches unique, yet the high rates of the events mean that the amount of times the events happen to each player will balance out, and so it is fair.

If there is a low chance of something happening, then there is no way to justify preparing for it, and yet you can still get screwed by RNG. An example of this is a main gun crit. Since the chance is so low, You cannot justify spending your resources to prepare for it. If you did, you would probably loose to your opponent, because you are wasting your resources on something that may not even happen. Since you cant prepare for this type of RNG without wasting resources, you cant prepare for it without becoming un competitive, and yet you can still be screwed by it, so it is not your fault if you get screwed by this type of rng, which is extremely frustrating and unfair.
This type of rng is bad, because the chances are low enough that the event often only happens to one player per match, making it unfair.
