OKW is a badly designed faction because they have no real option except a massive infantry blob, and even that infantry is all equipped exactly the same as they have no differing infantry upgrades either. Just twiddling numbers around is not going to change the fact they have no real support weapon play, and their resource income situation coupled with stupidly good AT on their base infantry makes skipping all their lighter vehicles and going straight to heavy vehicles the optimal choice in every game. From a purely design rather than gameplay point of view it also makes no sense for the late war german faction to have almost no automatic infantry weapons but have massive squads of cheap infantry rivaling the soviets.

Soviets are badly designed because without a (very specific) doctrinal choice they lack both infantry that can do anything in the late game, and vehicles that can do anything in the late game. Far better designed than the massive blobberino of OKW, but that's not high praise.

USF are a version of OKW that doesn't get any heavy tanks to hinge on in exchange for not having the weird resource situation. They too, like OKW, lack meaningful support weapon choices, leading to heavy infantry blobs, and their armor situation quickly deteriorates in the late game due to the high DPS paper armor vehicle selection coupled with the lack of infantry support at that stage of the game.

• Changing core functionality of the game (example: faction design, OBS, game modes)

I fail to see how this match is enjoyable. Ostheer can leverage call-ins to win, USF doesn't have call-ins to leverage and thus loses despite outplaying opponent. This MU is sorely in favor of Ostheer, especially on this map, and Quentin did as well as can be expected of the faction that has NO "oh shit" I'm losing "call-in" button. If you play USF at all (granted most don't and have no idea of how pathetic they are at the higher ranks) then you would realize how frustrating this match is for Quentin. Nothing against Luvnest he is good player but this MU is utter bs if all you have to do is spam paks and call-ins to win.

And to all those naysayers who think USF is OP I offer you this - exactly why did literally nobody elect to use them in the last Tournament then if they are so OP? Pls explain THAT to me.

• Ostheer early game against USF is terrible (no one can really argue about that) which leads to
  
• no map controll in the early game, no fuel to tech up. People who watch my stream know that I'd like to tech up, but most of the times the circumstances just make it nearly impossible.
  
• Ostheer teching ist to expensive for what it does. Early on you lack fuel, and as soon as you recovered with Call ins, you lack the manpower, so you have to rely on strong T1 and T2 to stay in the game
  
• going for T4 was actually fun, I wish that teching was more effective to have such a tank battle in the late of the game
  
• Every OST and USF matchup goes like this, but you can't really do anything else as an Ostheer player. Survive the early game pressure of Riflemen, then the superior light Vehicles and then the fast sherman (due to allied map control). If you managed to stay in the game after that, then it's Ostheer's time to shine.
  
• I agree my munitions float was terrible: My doctrine didn't really offer any munition abilities, I had not that many grens to spend Lmgs on them and my Pios were constantly repairing. I tried to lay tellers as soon as I caught a break
