Panzershek is not unlockable
It is an inherent feature of Volks and PGrens

In that case, here's how I look at it. All these unlockables fit into 3 categories: AI, AT, and utility.
Between strums, grens with LMGs and oberjesuses, there's already AI out the ass.
There's not much AT, but bazookas and PTRS are shit, so f that.
So it comes down to utility. With grens you already have the best AT snare, so no need for poopsock AT nades. Therefore it's down to molotov and US grenades, and I would easily take US grenades just for the smoke alone.

Do remember that Obers do get smoke grenade at vet 1. Curiously, Grens and Obersoldaten fulfill the exact role except for Panzerfaust, so once you unlock Obers there's almost zero reason to build Grens anymore.

Yeah I do, but you get to throw 2 smokes now
I mean what are ppl voting for? IR STG's? They're not that great on obers, and grens already have LMGs. I guess you'd be able to fire on the move which is nice.Curiously, Grens and Obersoldaten fulfill the exact role except for Panzerfaust, so once you unlock Obers there's almost zero reason to build Grens anymore.
Hey I voted for volks, not grens.

If i could change my vote, i would go with the AWESOME PTRS.
My controls weren't working

And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

the best tree would probably be:
sturms (fastest repair rate, high early game damage) with combat engineers as a second pick
Volks (extremely strong veterancy buffs + shrek)
Obers (manpower only anti-infantry destroyer)
with the m1919 lmg upgrade, so you can give them to volks. volks are THE best platform to have any form of weapon on because their vet makes them so strong.

I'm amazed the M1919 is getting so many votes when Grens already have the LMG42 upgrade and Obers come with a free LMG34. Who is going to equip it, the Sturmpios?
Are people voting for the best upgrade period or the upgrade that best synergizes with the custom faction?

TO OP, Why don't you just play OKW, it is Fantasy Pure Aryan Masterace Faction which you dream of(created by relic)
First off all. Tripwire so gud, 10 ammo for a whole dead squad ? + sight.
Vehicle capture point can win games, blitzkrieg save a tank. Fair Deal i think

He's just doing this for fun and wants to know what people would do if they could create their own faction. Unless you're just joking (which I don't think you are) then there's absolutely no reason to act like that.

All upgrades and infantry selected are Axis things, if you didnt notice yet. And most of it comes from OKW.

The problem is that those are what the people have voted not what the OP wanted to play.

Indeed.
I recall stating at the top anyway that this is not a question of necessarily getting the best or most capable units in any case, not least because the MP drain, pop cap and costs may be prohibitive.

I've been interested to see so far that no one wants recurring AT.
Shreks are a one off cost, but no one went for units that can have them,
Right now we are reliant on Grenadier Fausts as sole infantry AT, with them taking LMGs and rifle grenades as well that will be a lot of munitions.
We don't need AT Grenades because Fausts will do the same
We don't need US grenades for same reason (all we get from that is smoke)
Molotovs are not going to add much (you flank with Sturms, LMG Grens or Obers something is dead anyway)
BARs are expensive, droppable and don't add much - this faction already has superb AI
G43s are great, but we already have Obers without needing munitions and the cost will be high
PTRS is reliable AT and undervalued, but it is not worth paying for and will drop AI DPS too much on 4 man squads
PPSH will I think, merely make the infantry worse
Which leaves me with:
Flamethrower would give close in AI, Utility and Building clearance
IR STG 44 will be death (especially if we can put it on Sturms and keep the Obers as they are) but will be very expensive
M1919, we already have Obers for long range

Despite that it will be expensive I will go for the IR STG 44
Will do most things flamers can do without messy deaths
