What USA doesnt have that EVERY OTHER FACTION HAS

-Early mortar OKW
-Early MG OKW on most doctrines (Kübelwagen can suppress but it is not functionally identical)
-Early nades (need to spend 25 fuel most expensive nades)
-Early Structure demo Not sure what exactly you mean, but if you mean Demolition bombs they are Soviet only...

-Late game Infantry (garabage at this point even vetted) Look at Ostheer, also Riflemen do plenty damage with upgrades even in late game; also you have Paratroopers in a doctrine
-Late game COMPETENT AT (jackson is very paper) Jackson is paper, but the other stats are powerful
-Late game arty (howister tank is paper and howitser is wayyyy to rng) Priests in a doctrine? Also, Ostheer doesn't really have great artillery either, OKW with Stuka only one option as well. An artillery vehicle that can just drive away rather than being an immobile artillery piece being "paper" is also not really a huge deal.

So many crappy threads lately.

That suggestion of Milka sounds terrible to me. So Volksgrenadiers lose Panzerschrecks, but get nothing as a replacement? What will be their purpose in the late game? They will do little damage against infantry and also no damage to tanks.

Putting Panzerschrecks on Sturmpioniere or Obersoldaten in the described ways seems bad as well. Sturmpioniere are less survivable than Panzergrenadiere and half their veterancies will become obsolete if they cannot even repair anymore. Obersoldaten with Panzerschrecks will be a joke, you have to pay for a 400 manpower squad + reinforcement costs then to get something that Ostheer gets cheaper and it also comes rather late.

I think part of the problem may be included in a lack of munitions sinks for the OKW, aside from Grenades, MG Upgrades, and artillery strikes, there isn't much else to sink munitions into.

Again something I mentioned in the past that no one wanted to hear.

What are you going to spend your munition on if you have no viable munition ability on most commanders, don't need any upgrades apart from maybe MG upgrades on Panthers / King Tigers (except if you go for Panzerfüsiliers) but have still a few starting Volksgrenadier squads left that barely fill a role in the late game without an upgrade, as your opponent has now infantry squads that do a ton more damage? Yeah, you give them a Panzerschreck to make them able to stay relevant in late game against tanks.

Of course, you also spend a bit munition on grenades and mines, but usually not too much. The rest of your munition is often just transfered into fuel.

Soviets are similar in that way, as they also don't have many useful upgrades to spend their munition on. Instead of Panzerschrecks they just throw incendiary barrages and other commander abilities (because they actually have viable ones) at you all the time. At least that is my personal experience.

So if you don't want to see so many Panzerschrecks, you have a few possibilities. You can give OKW more viable choices to spend their munition on, like an anti-infantry upgrade for Volksgrenadiers, better commander abilities, more upgrade choices for other units. You can reduce munition income for OKW further (which I don't see justified). You can give more attractive anti-tank weapons (I am mostly looking at the Püppchen). Or you can just nerf Panzerschrecks so they become useless and a waste of munition (or just remove the upgrade).

Yes, I feel it is too powerful. Unlike other commander abilities, it requires absolutely no planning, aiming etc. but can often bring huge return.

It might help if the ability wouldn't last so extremely long. It is also silly that the effect stays when the plane is shot down.

Just reduce aiming time so it starts shooting quicker and do something about the thing shooting at all kinds of obstacles, that will improve reliability.
