Thx so any news about the War Spoils system? Will it be random-drop like TF2 or level-based like DOW2? Can players get new commanders simply by playing the game?

Vehicles come REAL late and sparingly. You have to use your sturmpioneers and kubelwagen for taking over the middle VP's, possibly pushing into their fuel to survive the late game. OKW have a good early game, but they are screwed late game.
You must also prepare yourself by building up early AT somehow. Massed tanks will be coming from your enemy, and yourself having more expensive tanks and 1/3rd the income is not in your favor..
Hey so does the bonus from caches and Opels get reduced too? If not than Assault Support Commander will be OKW's best buddies. Opels + Strafe will give KT a field day.

Ratekenwerfer is decent. Ofc Pak40 is far superior but they will do.
Good. It looks like some sort of troll unit due to its size...
Take note that the second truck that is on the field at the 4th minute can produce panthers. i doubt they need such excessive AT
Good point. Now that I've looked at it again, Spanky is 180 fuel by Minute 14. Someone here said that OKW has good early and mid game, but then poor late game.

Overall, it looks like Heavy Panzer Headquarters is a very skippable tier.

So it looks to me now that the first two buildings are a must build (especially on fuel and muni points)
Basic, must build units:
1. Sturmpioneers
2. Kubelwagen
3. Volksgrenadiers
4. Raketenwerfer 43
5. PzKpfw V Panther or Jagdpanzer IV/70V
Everything else is support.

The American jeep is a doctrinal unit, and it can also transport a squad.

Then T3 and T4 remind me of US vCOH- T3 can possibly be skipped
- Major

I just noticed the MG 42 is removed from the Ostheer Panzer IV unless you upgrade it:
Personally I like it much more that way, it's something I've always wanted. It looks much sleeker now.

The game will contain "Obersoldaten". Relic, really? Is it so hard to get someone who can actually speak German at your place? Hell, I would have made it for free.
Well, okay we will have to deal with "Over-soldiers" then. I just pray there won´t be a voice-line: "Obersoldaten reporting."

Well, I can't complain on their name in my native language version, its suitable and awesome, not sure if I can share it yet thou.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

I talked to my German friend and he said Obersoldaten means "most important soldiers" or "high ranking soldiers", so while it's still odd, it doesn't seem so bad.

Well we all know Obersoldaten exist, and I don't think localisation is under NDA

That's badass.

I went back to ask my friend and he heard it before, I know another German I can ask later
Even if it's not a real unit, neither were "Shock Troops" or "Conscripts". Shock Troops were "Assault Engineers" and carried explosives to clear obstacles and defenses, and Conscripts were just trained and organized among the rest of the Infantry and not a distinguished unit type.all you filthy hotchkiss lovers need to l2p #TeamPanzerIII

There was something in the wehrmacht called "Oberschütze" which was also sometimes called "Obersoldat".
