God its like pulling teeth with this faction.

No offense to my opponent, but I think this is a good example of how imbalanced the US is at the moment. My play was far from perfect. I was late to tech, I didn't build my pak43, and at times I just wasn't sure wtf to do, but I'm sure everyone can relate to how frustrating it feels as OKW at times to not have the tools needed to deal w/ a wide variety of threats.

Here is the strat > Go fast flak, wipe squads w/ blobs and focus fire, spam white phosphorus, build as many easy 8s as you have fuel. He made horrible, horrible trades with his easy 8s and I still could have easily lost if I couldn't have held out to the KT. I feel exhausted after every damn okw game, but hey at least its exciting!

I was hoping to stall to a king tiger at the end for the lulz but he quit early : (

Oh by the way, after watching this replay i'm sure people will say that the stuka needs a nerf.

I think the game is supposed to be hard for OKW early as they obviously are pretty OP late game. Wasn't this the trade off? Certainly you can't have them win early AND late game. Watch my replay of how to waste tanks as US vs JagD and 2 Tigers. The game was the US game easy but they got impatient or something.

Personally I find early game manageable (you can either stick to one side and stack up or play aggressively with kubels). What really kills okw for me is the mid game when you have to choose to either get a good unit from early tiers (or callin falls) or save for later.
Late game is just obers and panther spam and it's really solid but not that fun

Did he quit while winning in VP or what? I think he had the whole map still. I feel like he rushed in his tanks to kill the stukah, lost them, rage quit. Otherwise he could have still stuck it out.

Yeah he never really went for the stuka, I baited him into my racketen and killed his last 2 easy 8s. Also, my mg usage this game was downright terrible! Was just trying to stall the vps as long as possible for the KT XD

I'm suggesting you to stop playing OKW, wait till next patch or 2 maybe, but don't play them now, especially in 1v1, it's just waste of time
