I think we have different understandig what nerf is. For me its making unit less powerful. Here You can call nerf only 1 thing. Volks without schrecks (yet still you have something for exchange so its hardly nerf). I would rather say its a buff since you still have at inf and ai cheap inf. But if you are schrecks blob lover, then yes, its a nerf.
Other things are about changing design rather than nerfing.

They are nerfs because they weaken the faction and the units.

If Riflemen came with sticks instead of rifles, but could still upgrade to rifles for 60 munitions, would you not consider that a nerf?

lmfao, seriously?i was responding to people complaining that the game needs to cater to their skill level. while this is true to some extent, if you want a game to be competitive the player needs to step up to the plate and improve themselves to match the challenge.

And what happens when one faction is easier to play than other? Are OKW top players equally skill to USF top players?

destroying a schwerer HQ requires a coordinated and patient attack. you cant just rush into it with mediums and hope to kill it. be intentional with what youre going to do.
wether it be sniping it with jacksons, barraging it with 120mm mortars, attacking out of range with at guns while machine guns push off any counter attack, or swarming it with multiple medium tanks, you have to be intentional in destroying it.
the cheapest way to do it is using two 120mm mortars, using at guns + machine guns/infantry is also effective, and the fastest way is probably attacking with mass armor, but also the riskiest since you could possibly lose a tank if there are supporting anti-tank next to the schwerer.

I'm not saying I have troubles to deal with OKW flacktruck.
I'm saying that it's a bit too easy for OKW player to dig in and defense a vital point with it. Forward placement should be more risky.
