Thread: Poll: is the Ostwind underpowered?Yesterday, 18:23 PM I think buffing Ostwind from 1v1 perspective would make it too strong of a shock unit (mind you that's not the default doctrine for Ost). Presuming there are only AT guns on the field (witch is a reasonable way to play) having a fast-strong Ostwind would have a reasonable chance to wipe those AT guns and consequently the remaining force off the field before the opponent can mount their medium tanks. What people comparing it to the centaur are forgetting is the speed of aforementioned unit. Centaur is very slow and is unlikely to navigate and flank at gun/panzerfaust wall that is put up by the enemy. The current use of the Ostwind (mobile suppression platform when combined with a intel bulletin) is inline whit what should be expected of the vehicle. It wont win you games on its own and nor should it. Having a bulletin in your load out telegraphs your intentions (I would say this game should be easier to read regarding shock tactics) and gives a heads-up. Combined with p4 (witch are definitely on the strong side of AI units) buffed Ostwinds would make for a insanely cost effective A-move cheese. TLDR: Shock Ostwind is not what this game needs..

Thread: Why is OKW balanced the way it is?9 Mar 2019, 19:55 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2019, 18:50 PMHoverBacon OKW always seem strong at a glance because all of their stuff is the best at just being thrown at a cap point. Their tanks have the best frontal armour and their infantry are the best for just running and gunning. So if you are also just running at the cap as well, they are gonna win every time, it's what they're designed for. Once you start playing smarter they kinda of fall apart due to their flaws. This is the thing I was trying to highlight - it's very much in the hands of the allies to have to outplay OKW. All other things being equal axis come out on top. They can throw well trading units at you and wait for the late-game powerhouse. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is OKW balanced the way it is?9 Mar 2019, 17:32 PM Is it me or does OKW have every little advantage you could get? Strongest starting unit Infantry that doesn't require to research weapons/nades (gets them from basic teching) Being able to upgrade some infantry weapons in hostile territory Infantry not dropping AI weapons on low models/wipes Unique vet system Most secure base structure defense that negates light vehicle base-rush T0 raketen and AT options for almost all infantry later on (shrecks, fausts) KT without using up a commander slot and no way to deny it by destroying the tech structures Elite infantry (obers) without using up a commander slot Overwatch doctrine with double abilities Free AA building with teching that outranges infantry vision Is there an aspect where they get the short end of the stick? With strong generalist and specialist tanks and probably the best mobile artillery in the game they seem like a very low risk high reward faction. My guess is that some of the things were balanced around not having a sniper (although having the option of one of the best anti sniper units in the form of JLI) but once snipers have been nerfed this faction was never adjusted. I know people feel passionate about the faction they play but whats your honest opinion about this? In: COH2 Balance
