Some alright changes but I think some are maybe a bit too tame and go in the wrong direction.

Tiger: 9 CP to 12 CP

Alright with the CP increase but I still feel full tech requirements should remain considering their current timing at 11 CP and also viewing how strong they are against all targets after receiving the scatter buffs.

Tech Changes

Sentiment suggests that Ostheer tier 4 is too prohibitive to use. In order to facilitate an easier transition for Ostheer T3 to T4 builds, we have implemented the following:

Battlephase 2 tech from 90 fuel to 105 fuel
Battlephase 3 tech from 25 fuel to 35
Support Armour Korp (T3) no longer has a fuel cost
Heavy Panzer Korp (T4) building no longer has a fuel cost

15 fuel cost being taken from Tier 4 should help it come slightly earlier but I think the problem simply stems from Tier 4 units not being worth their current cost values. Brummbar gets hardcountered by a pair of AT Guns or a cheaper tank destroyer. The Ostheer Panther is also very inaccurate on the move. Werfer is sort of alright but I generally think it stinks in a 1v1 situation.

Grenadiers

Reinforce cost from 30 to 28

I don't think this buff will really do much to make Grens be able to compete with other mainline infantry units. The issue with Grens is a lack of durability before Vet 3, they simply get shredded. They also don't pack the same firepower that fully upgraded Tommies and Riflemen have. I would like to see them get access to the German Infantry Doctrine's 5-man upgrade at Battlephase 2 or 3. You could just replace that ability with a 3x G43 package for 60 muni or so.

Brummbar

Armour from 240 to 260

A nice little buff for the Brummbar but I don't think it will be enough to bring it back fully. I would look into maybe slightly reducing its cost.

Panzerfaust - all variants, including OKW

The speed of the Panzerfaust projectiles being lowered as an attempt to remove the issue of Panzerfausts occasionally missing their targets.

Projectile speed from 55 to 25

Assuming this is more of a test change trying to figure out the cause of the Faust bug since reducing the speed for the faust would be a net nerf and a death blow to Ostheer in 1v1 in the current state of the game.

There are many people who suggested T4 buffs, such as Brummbär getting more armor or more range (it was hit by a double nerf), Panther getting more accuracy on the move and some adjustments for the Werfer (though that was suggested by a minority).

Considering that Allies got lategame buffs through the bank and considering Ost is the lategame faction by design (small squads, no light tank) this wouldn't make them OP but is the very minimum I expect for Ostheer.

Others and I already asked about a short confirmation for Ost changes in the other thread. To no avail. So there currently aren't any plans. Which is quite rubbish.
