I was jsut fooling around with AI hard battles and i noticed that you can use Ostheer Elite Troops Doctrine to vet up OKW forces this is amazing as you can vet up a KT or JT or a stuka not sure if this is intended

Sure, you can vet KT, JT, Stuka, but it costs a fortune in fuel to do so, and they have to sit in base while you do it.

yep been that way since wfa launch. I don't think relic has made an official statement on it. I'm honestly surprised we don't see it happening more often because like you said it's pretty insane.

It can be done, OKW units are usually quite expensive so it costs a lot to vet them

OKW is already an "all your eggs in one basket" faction, so putting more MP and fuel into already high fuel high MP vehicles is pretty risky


This also means that the OKH guy is putting most if not all of his fuel into VET, so that means he is often working T1-T2 and relying on his Tiger Ace as the only armour

it does cost a lot for KT or JT but im sure there must me some unit in OKW that benifits more without costing a lot. say like raketen.

It's real handy for open maps, rank up a kubel to 3 stars :D

The cost of the ability is quite prohibitive. In my experience, you are better off getting a tank of your own than wasting a bunch of resources vetting up an OKW unit. Mortars are tried and true for vetting, but front line units are generally less optimal.

Don't forget that your enemy will earn veterancy faster as a result of you vetting units (Veterancy gains go up when fighting vetted units).

It locks the Ostheer player in a doctrine that has no OFFMAPS. In the current B4 Meta this is really important, because you wont have Stuka dive bomber to take them out. So if you pick Elite doctrine and they pick B4, your pretty much fucked XD thats why we dont see it often.

on rare occasion i use it with an okw mate and have him put his mech truck in the base so that when he's repairing his tanks i can hit them with vet. that said, it's 25 fuel every time. it costs an extra 75 fuel to get a panther to vet 2. i like to use it on my tanks so i can have blitz from the time they roll out of my base. tagging an extra 25-whatever fuel on a unit makes it absolutely TERRIBLE when you lose said unit. it does make those tanks that get extra armor at vet 2 a lot tougher, but at a pretty high cost. if you build tons of fuel caches it can be useful, but in most circumstance, not so much.

I have tried this on Rakettenwerfer and Obersodalet, both were useful, if you have enough fuel.
