Don't even bother downloading the game, just check out the lovely chat history


I don't really know what's wrong with people on the internet but like, it's funny because it's just so dumb. Also, the game ended in a sync-error and I can't help but be reminded of the drophacking days of CoH when people would be salty af and do whatever they could to just get the W.

I've been playing more since I now have a computer that can play the game again.

I've got to say, OKW is the more frustrating faction to play against. Against an opponent of equal skill, it's a difficult early game with the sturmpio + kubel duo capping up the map and the kubel dishing out mp damage while only needing repairs.

The Volks StG. 44 upgrade makes them a fearsome contender against riflemen, conscripts, and penals, perhaps only outdone by Infantry Sections that stay at range. Adding the timer to flame grenades was a common sense change that hurt the Volksgrenadier's potency. Reducing their vet 5 buffs (and in general with every unit) is also a nerf, but a common sense change. Perhaps the best thing would be to revert their 5-level veterancy to the standard 3-level? Two and three years, ago, it was so frustrating playing against the OP 5-level vet. I played so many games where my opponent and I were equal but because the USF/Soviet vet was capped earlier and was less potent than OKW vet, I would start to lose in the mid to late game because, despite having an equal preservation of units between both sides, the OKW player was rewarded more. Now that the veterancy has been mostly brought in line, perhaps it would be best to change the 5-level veterancy to a 3-level.

As has been already said a couple times, the OKW players don't have super effective builds or units anymore. Would the OKW benefit from getting a real AT gun? Probably. Will it happen? Who knows. Maybe. It would be cool if there was a PaK38 AT gun or even, god forbid, another commander revamp or an addition where captured ZiS guns could be called in.

Does the strong USF Jackson make the late game harder? Yeah, but plant mines, buy an extra sturmpio for a schreck, and/or buy a Jagdpanzer. It's still very good.

Remember to #adapt and keep trying new stuff. Post a replay review, watch a few King of the Hill casts on A_E's YouTube, check out the Ultimate Team Tournament show-match and then the tournament next month... hell, ask Helping Hans to show you some nice OKW tricks in his training Tuesdays if he still does that! Oh yeah and sometimes you can just message a good player on steam and ask for advice.

Hey .org, I'm doing some research about the structure of the Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s.
Specifically, I'm looking for information about the structure of the Ministry of Army and the General Staff Office during the interwar years.

If you all could recommend some books about the topic it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
