[Winter Balance Update] OKW Feedback

Maybe but I don’t even think obers really need much of a buff on anything. As I said before the BGHQ buffs has a lot of things it affects and that 10 fuel saved from not needing to get a second upgrade makes anything that comes after the HQ faster come out by proxy. So like obers would be coming out earlier with just that change. If there is 100% going to be a change to change the obers I think that change makes the most sense. It would depend on exact numbers but something like 50/70 for Schwerer and Auth might be fine. It would at be a buff to the ober timing without changing their MG timing. Still seems like it could very easily cause problems alongside BGHQ changes. I don’t think the upgrade needs to come any faster and other things that need better timings can be buffed other ways. I think (and form what I hear many others agree) the current change is super broken in terms of timing compared to power.

Honestly the only issue I see is the Hetzer and Ostwind, either make them require Panzer Authorization again or increase the Battlegroup cost by like 10-15 fuel so it delays them a bit since skipping Flak HT allows for a really fast timing that isn't countered unless the opponent goes double AT guns.

Ostwind and Hetzer should require Panzer Auth. Schwerer Panzer should be cheaper and Panzer Auth more expensive.

I dont know if anyone suggest this:

Obersodaten: they're more of defensive role, booby trap is replaced with binocular.
- Remove booby trap
- Can upgrade binocular (+sight while in cover without fighting)

Fallschirm: since they lost snare, give them something in return to fulfill infiltrate role.
- Gain ability to lay booby trap

Any chance the forward retreat point upgrade can get a cost decrease? 300mp is pretty steep considering the reinforcement time penalty and rocket arty magnet it already is when you build it outside of base.

Is there any discussion about Panzerfusiliers & their early panzerfaust? If I recall, changes to Volksgrenadier faust timing was to allow more openers for t1 soviets. Regardless, I always felt frustrated that panzerfusiliers come at 0 CPs and have that faust whereas volksgrenadiers do not.

I'd love for volks and panzerfusilier faust timing to be the same.

Could we just reduce medics' cost? Free medics sounds too good and this free healing option comes too early compare to other factions.

We're talking about a 100MP and 5F discount on the new medics. They still cost a grand total of 275MP and 45f (call in truck + deploying battlegroup).

They do not arrive faster than other factions, they are the most expensive medics to get.

Choosing Battlegroup locks out Mechanized and the crucial Puma. No other faction really has to "choose" for healing.

It doesn't "lock out" the Puma. Churchill "locks out" the comet and vice versa, okw can always tech for the Puma.

Whats more okw doesn't have to "choose" for healing. Their starting unit can AOE heal 3 times and a few units heal with vet. Okw is if anything the only faction that gets healing if you want it or not....
