1v1 map issue with Schwerer main gun range

What about: making its ground fire an active ability tm like the AA fire is with the same drawbacks but a cost? This let's it be used defensively but in spirit to the original okw design at the cost of resource management.

@sky's would it matter if it's taking up pop or taking up muni? Resources are resources. The UKF muni sink if they use howis a lot, frankly it's more like a made that scales with tech.

Even an "on/off" mode that drains muni like old soviet repair did for the schwere would be OK (under used mechanic imo) would make it more balanced and on point with the okw design

Can I ask once again why U guys are trying to nerf already the weakest faction?

Okw often needs constant munitions based healing.

There are certain maps such as crossroads winter that allow the placement of the Tier 4 OKW Schwerer structure near a base entrance while its main gun range can effectively cover and zone out both a cutoff and a fuel on that side. This allows an unfairly powerful strategy of safe Schwerer placement that gives you way too much of a benefit, allowing you to lock down that fuel point and then focus your entire army's attention to the other side, effectively denying your opponent any side switching while you're free to attack his side's fuel. You also don't allow him to switch sides if you take the side he's on, or harrass your fuel. This leads to very consistent fuel income that can be combined with a BGHQ tech path into a very fast P4 or doctrinal Ostwind. The counter strategy of building one or two AT guns to kill the Schwerer is too much of a requirement and risk (720mp spent on AT guns to kill it and you're losing infantry fights hard because of it) vs OKW having 0 risk in just placing it outside their base where they can reinforce and come out to fight it, not to mention how quickly Spios can repair it and allow the okw army to flank the AT guns and if they win the engagement it's gg because the infantry retreats but the AT guns can't. This strategy is too powerful for too litle a risk.


My proposal for a solution to this issue is a reduction of the T4 building’s gun range from 50ish to 40m, reducing its zone of control and allowing harrassment of either fuel or cutoff or both,
