Can somebody sum up the OKW 'vision'?
Good stuff, no spam.

It's near the end of the war and resources are harsh. Your high command has tried to mitigate manpower retardation with hi-tech wonder weapons. You need to fight, hold ground, scavenge and hold out using your technology to your advantage when it finally arrives. But be careful, because everything is scarce.

- Faction vision statements
- 2 maps only: Hurtgen forest / Trois Pont
- Risk / rewards – paratroopers / Sturmtiger reloading
- Units
o M20
o Paratroopers
o Riflemen
o Infrared Halftracks
o Sherman
o Sturmtiger
o King tiger
The fact the Germans have Sturm and King Tigers kinda speaks for itself...
Combining two of those issues - it's possible to knock out and capture a Sturmtiger while it's reloading, a process which is pretty tricky for the crew (which it should be seeing as it's Hiroshima on caterpillar tracks). I've dropped paras right on top of a Sturm in a quiet corner of a map and captured it while the crew were trying to manhandle a fresh rocket into it...

The OKW sounds exciting to me. Looks like an outnumbered Elite Army.Did the OKW also have the best infantry in the game?Or only the strongest tanks?
Cant talk about OKW infantry. It;s not on the all powerful list.

No offense to you, OmegaWarrior (you've been great!), but I didn't expect this strict NDA to climax in you answering questions in this thread as the big reveal of how the armies actually work.
I also hope Relic doesn't expect us to moderate this thread based on their partial-NDA lifting (what?) and loose guidelines of what we can or can't talk about.

Oh look it the doomsayers come to ruin yet another perfectly good thread.
Defending myself, I am simply giving out the facts. Sometimes they hurt, and sometimes they need to be shown so people know the truth. It is meant to be a contribution to the conversation.

If you want to make steps towards multiplayer and competition (which it seems they're trying to do by lowering the entry price point and releasing only multiplayer content) then you need to accompany that with a live launch event featuring top players. And yes, before you can do that, you need a spectator mode (we've only been asking for it for 2 years now) to make the thing even possible.

And there is a right place for it. Every time a thread about new content starts it usually has some good speculations and discussions and then gets highjacked by these kinds of comments, until it devolves into vapid insults directed at the devs and arguments about who commited the worse warcrimes.

It's getting late and I need to go to sleep. Hopefully this thread remains strong while I'm asleep. It is useful for a lot of people who want to know more about the new factions.

And that's why we have moderators.

It s nice that we finally see some new screenshots and infos but that took them Ages and the game coming out in less then a month and they also don t show us a new gameplay video or something to keep the hype a bit up.
All this what was coming out yesterday was released way too late.

I'm very sceptical about what I hear. I really, really hope that they don't fuck up the balance entirely...
If there is anything breaking the balance, it's the Soviet.
