However, for me the real joy of the Oberkommando West comes with the tanks. Having seen my US army be wiped out by a single King Tiger, I was pretty eager to turn the tables and unleash my own on the AI, and it was great fun to see it leading the charge for me.
Of course, the rustiness that saw the King Tiger wipe me out was also the reason why I let it get separated and ultimately destroyed by the AI’s heavy guns, which again plays into the risk/reward balance of the army. Things like the Sturmtiger tank need the crew to actually get out to reload its gigantic gun, making them terribly vulnerable, while the loss of any of these expensive tank units will difficult to recover from.
King Tiger finally confirmed.
Sturmtiger Crew must go outside the tank to reload its gun.

"In terms of strategy, the Germans benefit from a unique resource system that revolves around breakthrough tactics."

dear god okw is the same as brits.... we are in for a roller coaster ride for balance.

Interesting the bit about early vehicles being textured boxes, that's a pretty good idea. Keep player feedback entirely on balance that way, so you don't have people arguing over historical accuracy instead.

Americans will be very versatile.They seem to be an army that have a lot of Upgrades for everything.A very mobile army with Units that a neither extremely strong nor extremely weak.it sounds cool that US Paratroopers can call an aircraft Support drop and give them the heavy 75mm at-gun and a heavy machine gun anywhere on the map.
And OKW seems to be an Elite-Army with very expensive but powerful Units.They seem to have very limited ressources capturing there state at the battle of the bulge but they can bring in King Tiger, Sturmtiger and also Jagdiger is now officcially confirmed.

Panzer IV Ausf. F1 (Not Ostheer Command Tank, notice the pintle MG 42's)
Panzer IV Ausf. G (Not Vet 2 Ostheer Panzer, notice the lack of pintle MG, and the 'fat' muzzle break)
