Builder Unit: Sturmpioneers OKW 58%
Core Infantry: Grenadiers Ostheer 32%
Elite Infantry: Obersoldaten OKW 28%
Unlockable Upgrade: IR STG 44 OKW 47%
Machine Gun: MG42 Ostheer 50%
Indirect Fire: 120mm Soviet 50%
Direct Fire: PaK-40 Ostheer 67%
Light Vehicle: Puma OKW 35%
Faction now looks like this:
T0: Sturmpioneers
T1: Grenadiers, MG42
T2: PAK 40, Puma
T4: Obersoldaten
CP2: 120mm Mortar
CP3: IR STG
We are unable to build caches, but Grenadiers can build bunkers and Sturms can salvage
Tech structure will be similar to OKH, but costs will not necessarily be the same
+++++++++++++
I am skipping over Light Tank here and will come back to it later.
There has been recently some unrelated work on "Tank Destroyers" albeit in a different sense to the one I shall use
Instead I shall go straight to medium tank.
What will be the bread and butter armour unit?
+++++++++++++
This is again somewhat arbitrary, but I've taken the base as the lightest vehicles that did not make it into the last poll (Luchs, T-70, Stuart) and capped it out at the Panther.
If the Panther gets in, then the KV-1 should too despite nominally being a Heavy; and I have included things like the KV-8 and Brummbar because they don't count up with the heavies
Pure Tank destroyers with no AI are not in here

There will be a "Light AFV" poll at some point, which will take the largest stuff from the previous poll and the smallest ones from this one
Heavies will probably include the KVs and Panthers

I thnik Luchs and T70 should be treated as Light Tank or something like that. Don;t You think?
I will also be surprised if anyone votes for them
And why those two but not the Stuart (I'm drawing somewhat arbitrary lines, so I have no expectation people will agree with them, all I can do is explain my reasoning)

The Stuart is there, 5th one down.

I loves my KV1s, especially as how there will be a true heavy tank in the faction
My head though says Panther or 34/85

wait, is this a "favorite medium tank" poll or a "best medium tank" poll?
Neither, best medium tank to complement the rest of the faction
I admit to being somewhat surprised that the PIV is winning right now, because no one has posted why

You have
sturmpios- expensive, no flamethrower
grenadiers- good late game, early on pretty subpar
120mm Mortar- good but very expensive
MG42- No comment
So you end up with a faction that's pretty much wehrmacht, but worse against any kind of garrison camping rifle/conspam with no flamethrower and an unaffordable mortar- and wehr already has a hard time vs that. Add to that an expensive light vehicle with little anti-infantry power and elite infantry that you have to tech for, unlike paratroopers or shocks- I think regular rifles to M20 or conspam to call-ins/T70 will beat this faction handily.

Panzer IV perfectly combines great AI and good AT, gets an actual useful vet 1 ability and scales to lategame thanks to the armored skirts at vet 2. It also comes at a time when you want your medium tank.

oh, well then stuart shouldn't be on the list and i shouldn't have voted for it. although a stuart with pumas would be decent and cheap.
