I keep seeing this "100mp" stuff and it is simply false based on all other factions. UKF have different starting MP than soviets etc. there is no magical value that all factions have.
But imagine this.... all factions start with the same resources....... cough*****and get nondoc flamers cough*****
Go through the patch notes.
You'll see OKW got 100 bonus, ost got 80 bonus and UKF got 60 bonus.
Subtract these values from their starting mp and add starting units value, you'll end up with same value as soviets and USF.
Tho, remember that Spios used to cost 320 as well.
RETs also used to cost 160 if I'm not mistaken.
Can't remember if other units cost changed or not.
I could be wrong here, as I simply don't remember, but I thought OKW received an extra 100MP starting resources when the SWS was changed from being free to costing 100 manpower?
It was also the same patch that increased volks cost, which meant OKW couldn't start building 1st volk instantly.
For the same reason UKF got their 60 extra.
Ost is just living off of welfare.
