OKW in the New Patch: Roman go the house!

the thing is that bulletins are complete shit if you can't stack them. it's just a shitty system because THQ wanted something for players to collect.

Would just like to point out the phrase 'panzer vor' makes no sense in german and the OKW would probably have you shot for being a non-native german spy

Would it be more like, Panzer vorwärts? Legitimate question.

I don't know what command the military would have exactly used, but Vorwärts makes grammatical sense. Panzer vor is kind of like saying "Roman go the house"; we kind of get what you're trying to say, but not really

Actually never mind Mods please change the thread title to "OKW in the New Patch: Roman go the house!"

Panzerfusiliers OP.

Little update after a few interesting games;

-Spamming booby trap is extremely good, keep your Jaegars inside the circle till the enemy blob steps in then step out and he gets demo charged' If you can't spare squads to wait it will still regularly wipe single squads.

There is always something new to learn.
The other parts were also interesting to read, there seems to be fundamentally different playstyles in this case, prolly going to explore some of this later.

However, one thing, I think salvaging destroyed weapons gave less resources than non-destroyed ones? Or am I wrong? I have always considered the benefits of scavenging marginal, though it's better than nothing.

I believe only vehicles can be salvaged whether destroyed or intact - weapons have to be in one piece still to be salvaged.

boring faction

not to mention them and OST currently hog and hoard all of the best AT,armor and infantry in-game

Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2015, 02:43 AMBeefSurge

Best AT goes to OKW, best infantry goes to USF(believe it or not), best vehicles goes to Soviets, best indirect fire goes to Soviets.

I realize you're a USF fanboy, but the problem isn't the axis being OP, it's the USF being very narrow, APM intensive, and unrewarding.

I think design-wise giving the OKW the PIV was extremely lazy. It might work balance wise atm, but when I first heard it through whispers there was no excitement over the idea, and there still isn't. It's the unit we all know.

In COH 1 terror doc, the king tiger used to be simply an improved tiger for a long while. Then it was reworked to king tiger. I think the same should happen to the OKW PIV at some point, replace it with an original OKW unit. E.g. wirbelwind as a bit heavier version of an ostwind. Or some other more AI focused unit, a new unit would get me excited. The PIV simply 'works'. And is lazy. : /

OKW Anti tank: Cheap schu mines,the perfect anti tank mine,shreks on mainline infantry for cheap reinforce cost and great vet,the perfect AT squad,JP4,the best non doc TD hands down in the game,arguably the best TD period.


USF infantry: Hard countered by the new MG spam,but USF has always had the best infantry. from double bar rifles to M1919 paras/barfinders. If ostheer and OKW could not build suppression they would get rolled by usf infantry all day.
