Profile of gokkel

I noticed now two times that when I play the Oberkommando West on the map Lienne Forest on a specific starting location (at the northern base, second position from right), that one of the 4 squad members of the Sturmpionier squad that you start with is stuck inside the starting headquarter. It cannot move out of it and it makes the squad nearly useless, because it makes it behave weirdly. They will not finish capping points before they go to the next point in your command queue and they become more and more unresponsive the further they get seperated from their squad mate. The only way to fix this is to kill the stuck squad member with a grenade which is not immediately available and costs you a lot of ressources and time. This gives you a massive disadvantage and has to be fixed as soon as possible.

I link two replays of me demonstrating this, just observe the starting Sturmpionier squad from my perspective (player name is "gokkel").

If you play OKW in 3v3 or 4v4 I recommend to deselect the map in your search until they fix the map.

Americans have so many artillery options, yet barely any of them were used against an enemy who had nearly only static units.

Then a lot of Wolverines were pointlessly lost when trying to use them against infantry like regular tanks instead of like tank destroyers. If all that fuel to replace the Wolverines was saved it could be used instead to buy for example actual tanks to roll over the enemy.

And then Machine Guns are suddenly overpowered because they actually become very potent at Veterancy 3... like a lot of other units do.

I had my game completely freeze a few seconds after a game starts twice already. I know it must be a more widespread problem, because three of my friends have had the exact same thing happen to them as well already.

Sounds like they keep introducing the same mistakes from Dawn of War 2 again. The same thing used to happen there with setup teams after some patch.

I noticed lately a lot of times enemy machine guns setting up in nonsensical positions.

And Katitof, even Hans thinks Volks are pretty much useless.

To be fair, Hans also spams Pumas and rushes two Pumas front on into two T34 and blames luck when it doesn't work.

I am not saying with that that Hans is a bad player, I just think he lost patience with OKW a bit too early and needs some more practice with it, just like the rest of us.

Personally I don't consider Volksgrenadier a very effective anti infantry unit. I build just two of them to upgrade them later to Panzerschreck, and use them otherwise to cap or to draw fire while flanking with Sturmpioniere, build sandbags for other units or let them fight in support with other stuff.

I just try to survive with what I have, use Kübelwagen and stuff until I can get better infantry units (Panzerfüsilier, Fallschirmjäger, Obersoldaten).
