The problem is, if you buff the maxim you get maxim spam.

How about this? Merge changed to not reinforce, but to give a weapons buff to the target squad.

Maxims: +20 ~ % suppression
AT guns and mortars:-15 ~ % reload

An example of how this could be used:
-Before an attack, merge your cons with your mortar so it fires faster & forces the machine gun to reposition quicker, then urrah in.
-Before a Defense, merge you cons with your MG so that it suppresses faster, or your AT gun to kill his tanks faster.

This would also help negate the Zis’ bad reload compared to other at guns and the Sov mortar’s bad ROF compared to other mortars.

It would probably also need a debuff added to the cons to stop it from being a no-brainer

I am the whermacht player

the USF player locks down mid on Nexus with fighting positions and an ambulance, then locks down my cutoffs with .50 cals
He then proceeds to get a mortar & pack howitzer and attack my base.

I manage to steal a mortar and start barraging him back, and get some nice ambush wipes with my stormtroopers

he has my cutoffs but I manage to hold top and bottom fuels and VPs

he then tells ME to "play fair"

OKW

Overall theme of rework idea - A few powerful units supported by more numerous less powerful units

Starting resources reduced.
SWS cost reduced to compensate

Rakketen
5 man
Range from 50 to 55
Can’t move while camo’d

SturmPioneers
Equipped with g43s instead of stg44s. Better than line infantry at all ranges, but not dominant.
Equipped with incendiary grenades
Can heal like British medics instead of health crates
Can upgrade both Sweeper and schreck
-This is to reduce the early game dominance of OKW, while keeping to the theme of a few powerful units supported by multiple weaker units.

Volksgrenadiers
Received accuracy increased
Removed incendiary grenades, + stun grenade
-Volks are over performing for their cost, and the incendiary grenade allows them to deny enemy cover & easily win a cover fight

mg34 - same

ISG
ISG moved to the HQ. Requires 1 converted SWS truck


Battlegroup

Theme - Assault infantry supported by vehicles
ISG moved.
IR half track removed
-Bugged, and OP, even without the bug.

+ Kubel
Increased HP and long range DPS
At 65% health gunner injured (-50% dps), at 35% health gunner killed
-The Kubel will now have reduced effectiveness when damaged, just like infantry. Accuracy vs cover increased to compensate for inability to use cover

+ Panzerpioneers
Equipped with strong MP40s
Can be upgraded with a flamethrower or stg44s (60 muni)
Can be upgraded with advanced combat training (30 muni) after the Schwere panzer HQ is set up. Increases long range/stationary dps.
Bundle and Frangible(vet1) grenade

Flack HT
Can fire on the move, with a -60% burst length modifier unless set up (still 1s)
Stuns/forces infantry to crawl instead of suppressing.
Suppressing strafe added(like Centaur) 10s cooldown afterwards
-blob control

-This keeps the Flack HT as an effective support unit. However, enemy infantry can now charge and snare it.


Mechanized
Cost standardized with Battlegroup

Theme - Assault vehicles supported by infantry
Puma moved.

+221
Increased HP and short range DPS
At 65% health gunner injured (-50% dps) at 35% health gunner killed
Increased accuracy versus squads in cover
-The 221 will now have reduced effectiveness when damaged, just like infantry. Accuracy vs cover increased to compensate for inability to use cover
(Elite armoured allows 221s to be upgraded to 223s, OR 223s can be called in with 1 converted SWS truck)

+Obers
Can be upgraded with a flamethrower or a mg34 (60 muni)
Moving DPS reduced.
Can be upgraded with advanced combat training (30 muni) after the Schwere panzer HQ is set up. Increases moving/short range dps

Luchs
Suppressing strafe added (like Centaur). 10s cooldown afterwards
-Blob control



Schwere panzer HQ
Split into 2 sections

Tier 3A - 60 fuel, 180mp

+Puma - same

Panzer 4 J Battlegroup 170 fuel 360mp - call in 1 panzer4 J tank. Can only be produced if no panthers/panzer4s/KTs are on the field

(Flame Hetzer)


Tier 3B 60 fuel, 120mp

Panzer 4 J
Armour reduced from 234 to 180, health increased from 640 to 800
-Improved consistency (less bounces, but more hits required to kill)

Panther - same

Konigstiger (still requires all HQs)

Random idea: how about replacing G43 upgrade for Panzergrenadiers with 1-2 Infrared STG44s? This would be a clear upgrade over their default STGs. Ofc they would be slightly worse than the obersoldaten variant.

(I know the Vampir was a late war equipment, but on the other hand it was primarily used on the eastern front)

This makes sense to me and I really like it.

Title. I assume it’s under wind conditions but I can’t find wind conditions
