Well, it is good for nuking buildings and emplacements. That is about all it is good for though since anyone with half a brain will be able to avoid it otherwise.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea for the panzerbuchse rifle instead of pshreck for grens. Pshreck can then be reduced to 70 mu, and given to sturmpios who are not really spammable. The reason I hear a lot of the time for the shreck on the volks being important is so that OKW can fend of light vehicles, and if anything the panzerbuchse rifle will have a higher DPS and therefore higher value vs. light vehicles.

Of course, such changes will also require a buff for the raketen, most likely a reduction in the weapon "ready-aim" time.

In terms of price, I like the idea to make the AT rifle cost 35 mu, or maybe 50, and then panzerfausts for the squad (AT package). I doubt that guards syndrome will be a problem since volks are not really good AI infantry, and don't lose too much DPS when they swap out a rifle for an AT rifle. It will be similar to the conscript AT package, except that they will have access to one slightly better rifle.

I could really see the panzerbuchse rifle working well for OKW. Particularly if volks were given faust. I would suggest that perhaps sturmpios should mirror PGrens and buy two shrecks for 120+ muni however. That would help consolidate their role as AT infantry and ensure that buying the shreck upgrade is a tactical choice instead of being automatic.

I see some over 40 here. Anyone over 50?

I would certainly love to see Italian Campaign factions. While it is true the Kingdom of Italy surrendered shortly after the allied invasion in mid 43 the German army remained in control of the northern and central regions of the country through the Italian Social Republic. The Italian forces who remained loyal to the ISR were used as auxiliary and RE troops by the German forces. The Germans even pilfered a lot of Italy's leftover tanks and support weapons for their own use. In practical terms you could create a 43-44 German army that relies on some Italian troops and vehicles to fill gaps in it's roster. That way the faction would have an Italian flavor to it but still remain competitive vs the other late war factions. It could even add a little diversity to German game play by providing a faction that plays more like the allied factions with a focus on large durable infantry squads and numerous medium tanks instead of super tanks or elite infantry.

It would also allow the inclusion of the 44 Commonwealth, who by that time had most of their late war toys and would therefore be equally competitive with the other factions.

If I recall "Honor Guard" was the name originally given to the unit. During the WFA beta relic decided they didn't like the name and changed it to "Obersoldaten" after community input.

This also explains why they still have that lingering improved accuracy vs retreating units. They were supposed to punish "dishonorable" enemy units for retreating.
