I find your denial of stats and mechanics absolutely amusing.

You're biased

Pak cost the same, has the same penetration, isn' superted by terminantors, has 2 squad members less and doesn't have barrage that hardcounters allied team weapon play.

Yet its completely balanced.


When A >> B and B is balanced, then A must be overperforming

....

PaK has higher penetration and faster rate of fire, grens roflstomp cons, number of entities is irrelevant here, 6 men are soviet faction perk, there isn't need to hardcounter allied team weapon play, because there is no such thing as allied team weapon play after maxim was killed for good.

PaK is much better at dealing with tanks, ZiS can engage AFK infantry.

Before calling someone biased make sure you're not an ignorant noob yourself.

So as an OKW player, you have to put base forward at some point because it the only way they will be able to hold ground later games in order to win them.

No, you don't.
OKW has very strong late game, especially now with terminator JLI scaling.
Overall OKW infantry presence is very strong across all game stages and its well established OKW infantry is very cost efficient. OKW doesn't struggle in either, taking the ground and holding it.
OKW armor also doesn't suffer from being weak.
You do not need at any point in the game to have that schwerer outside of base sector.
You simply want to, because it makes it easier to hold it. And if you do place it outside, you're increasing reward and the risk, the further you put it up, the bigger these two get.

They have no caches to build, huge disadvantage, that is why they have to have it forward.
Only newbies do not take the risks but sometimes the risks are too high that it is sometimes best to keep in safer distances, that is the point.

Why almost no one builds caches at competitive level then if they are so mandatory?
Only newbies take the risks without expecting their decision to be countered.
Also, Jesulin apparently is a newbie according to you as he is extremely cautious players who methodically just dominates you over time(in case you don't know him, he used to be one of the very top players, less active now then in the past). There is nothing wrong with cautious, careful play, not every player has to play balls deep.

If anybody thinks of nerfing it, then give OKW the option to build caches then. Just because this HQ AA idea was a means in order for it to secure grounds for precious resources which they can not build.

I don't believe it needs nerf, but lets not pretend you need it placed forward please.

It'll never be viable choice for higher levels, because at higher levels skirmishes happen around whole map and high level players counter it instantly with ATG that would be there anywhere in anticipation of AEC.

Second reason is, its specifically because its an emplacement.
If you can't move that pop to the other side of the map, where engagements happen, your that much weaker.

Its nowhere near as cost effective as mobile AEC and will never be at higher levels of play.

Would be great if OKW last base could get that too right?

It used to.
It was removed, because no one ever used it except for by mistake.
