So what I hear from you, the OKW counters the 280mp 30 fuel unit with 1080 MP and 270 munitions and only if their are no enemy units defending it.
Hey, guess what?
That is a total of 0 additional units you will have to make on top of most standard BOs!
Plus, I want to destroy it QUICKLY, before opponent has a chance to react, I don't need to get it to half health and be chased off only for it to get repaired with additional vet star.
That or leig must constantly barrage it and hope it doesn't get targeted by the pit itself. Hope the enemy doesn't repair it or use brace or attack your leig with infantry. Hmmmk.
Or you can just rush shrecks at the pit if there is no bofors. If there is, you can position and focus on bofors, keeping LEIGs safe. And pit will rarely be placed so it can effectively cover bofors as it would require you to place it right next to bofors, not behind, next to it.
As Ost you need 1 of 2 commanders with MHT, or pak (which can be bombed or enemy use brace) , or 580mp of infantry and 120 munis in which case the enemy can STILL brace and wait for support (or target and wipe the pgrens). Once again we have to hope that these units have no supporting units. Ok.
MHT is not mandatory, it just makes it super easy.
I don't like to bash my head against the wall and ost isn't really doctrine dependent. Oh and it just happens that one of these MHT commanders has a tiger tank.
I've already covered the support part, I'm not going to repeat myself just because someone has mastered selective reading skill.
That's the costs POV, now let's look at the micro POV. Axis players have to micro multiple units to not lose any, attack when the enemy isn't there, and have the perfect army composition for the assault. The British player on the other hand, can watch as his emplacements do all the work needed and brace when it's getting low and needs support.
Trying to be realistic here. I feel like the counter to these emplacements require a ton more micro, resources and luck that it does to use them effectively.
Those are my thoughts.
As I've said, you're paying a grand total of ZERO in addition to what you have as standard army as OKW and for ost, only MHT is optional. I always get 1 PG squad, regardless and it ends up being AT usually, so again, only MHT is additional side cost, which makes it piece of cake.
Your costs POV is horribly biased, because you completely ignore what you already have on the field as standard units.
I'm simply using units, which I will have at the time.
Again, ZERO additional costs for OKW and optional MHT for ost.
