While it was kinda funny when (arranged) teams pulled it off, it got removed because it was broken.
The combat veterancy with then double 1.3 accuracy multipliers (now 1.3 and 1.2 at vet 2 and 3 respectively) is clearly not designed with weapon slots in mind.
Almost +70% dps at vet 3 and double LMG turned them into absolute terminator squads that won every fight with ease to a point where it was hopeless for axis inf. Some people even took that a step further and spammed "For Mother Russia" with then +50% accuracy 
It was as bad as when Conscripts had 2 slots or when the +300% accuracy cover bonus from Osttruppen applied to their slot weapons with 0 penalty
Even now, with a single LMG they are great. With Airborne Guards dropping DP, I can literally upgrade my Penals also which makes them a terror at range. They are also a decent amount stronger per gun due to the vet you described.
Overall, they probably should have removed a weapon slot or even both and made their VET a bit better. It probably would have been easier to balance that way. |
PF do not have 90% accuracy on the move:
G43 on the move:
0.5064/0.3864/0.3408
K98 on the move:
0.4025/0.374/0.345
Im assuming he is talking about their 80% movement modifier which makes them excellent for chase down wipes. |
gj, nice support weapon play
Thanks.
Where you been at bro, haven't seen any games posted by you lately. |

Ally made sniper so I went penal/clowncar. Early on we had 3 engineers vs 1 Sturm, funny fight. OST player was slow to help so we were able to push and keep right side. I eventually help flank left side which ally is able to hold on to after I leave. We pretty much start to dominate and ally inexplicably just drops at 21mins, from there I hold middle and throwing away units trying to put the game away before computer ally shits away the game.
Axis pulled off a slow effective flank to kill allied sniper.
They probably would have won if the Axis player matched up against CPU would have just dived and used up his resources. He was hoarding for no reason.
Since he wouldn't commit I had chances to recrew MG/mortar and keep VP pressure up. |

Probably one of the things I hate to see as it only helps the owner and not the entire team. It also seems to benefit soviets more as cons+reinforcements are cheap, so MP waste not big factor.
Highlights
Ally KV2 around 40 kills
Failed push by multiple axis resulted in dead Tiger/P4J, however I lost both tanks
Axis did a great job punishing left side of map and spamming early tanks. I didn't realize one player was cache and truck spamming so they got tanks out pretty quick.
Fairly good teamwork on both sides
Lowlights
I tried to push and kill KT, messed up lost 1 SU85 and almost lost 2nd. Pretty noobish stuff |
Are you sure nerfed is not the right word you are looking for?
As one of the players who consistently spoke for the nerf of the stealth-ninja raket from the beginning, I never thought I would be the one to defend it; but truth to be told OKW is currently one of the weakest factions in early vehicle timing(6~16 min.) along with UKF.
I'm not sure about what other good players think, but I personally put OKW next to UKF in 1v1.
Something like
SOV >= WM = USF >> OKW >> UKF
DO you mean the units themselves or the timings. FLAK track comes in around the 6 min mark, luchs is a tiny bit before 7 mins with equal fuel. So the timings aren't to bad. To me the bigger issue seems to be the tech choice. If both buildings had the option to upgrade meds/repairs I think mechanized would see a resurgence. The fact that you have to pick LV vs healing is nonsense. |

Haven't played 4v4 in a bit. Martell sent me an invite so played a two game with his friends.
Ive gotten rusty on 4v4 timings/maps, so took me a bit to get acclimated. Lost early T3476 like a complete noob, tried to help USF as he was getting owned, hit mine, my katy barraged to late to save it. We were getting slapped until we got down to 150 points. At that point, T34 blob went down to help USF with all out push while my katy barraged and then USF cali followed right after. OKW literally lost every thing including buildings except for Jagdtiger. As I went terror, I was on arty killing duty with plane drop and satchels. 1 OST player literally had no army and 4 maybe 5 lefh. Which left them quite vulnerable once we started getting aggressive.

Vet abilities (and bonuses) should be designed around specific units and their role.
Firing position for Thompson/PPsh guards would be a bad design so I see no real reason for such a change.
A cloaked PPSH Guard hiding with firing positions active and on hold fire would work fairly well together for a trap. The acc bonus plus cooldown bonus would make it like a budget tactical advance.
For Zooks it wouldn’t be to bad as you would reload even faster right?
For Thompsons it would be fairly useless outside of forcing units out of garrisons using nade and then firing positions to put DPS them or holding onto a point. However if they pick up an LMG in the empty slot instantly becomes a zone of death. |

Ost opposite of me went with 3 MG opening, did fairly well against it but my allies seemed to be a team. They kind of turtled together and rarely came to help. AT one point I got Triple teamed, so we were way behind in gas. I ended up going PTRS Penals x3, got 2 OSTWINDS with them and he eventually gave up. The other axis gave up shortly after. |
Why upgrade Airborne guards with Thomspon rather than DP?
Thompsons is for Assault Guard, completely different unit that has no access to DPs.
Airborne gets either PPSH or DP, PPSH is free and gives smoke+cloak however they are fairly squishy. Each has their benefits as I explained in the first post. |
