The limited numbers thing for OKW makes no sense as OKW is the most infantry heavy faction in the game (which is why you have to play so aggressive with them) and almost all OKW strategy revolves around out-map controlling your enemy with superior infantry numbers.

It's great to hear from the developers what their intent and design goals are for each army. Re-assessing each army with the new expansion is excellent - can't wait to what, if anything, has changed since alpha.

You were in the alpha right?
Maybe that long awaited OKW change is on the way ....
gawd, please no, that was like the worst, most immersion breaking design I have ever seen.
The alpha was there for a reason: To seperate good and bad changes. This was a bad one. Many disliked it.

i more of a 2v2 player. KTs are more popular then 1v1, and if you don't have two Jacksons by the time 1 rolls out you're in trouble. Tigers aren't much easier.

At guns aren't much of a replacement with how quick they go down and any zooks investment is useless.

The suggestion that Relic said they liked best was just removing the ability to salvage the Mad Max kubel wreck.
That wasn't the problem though, the problem was half a dozen Kubels NDA'ing faster than the allies could stop it. I have no idea why they thought removing the fuel cost was a good idea, it wasn't.

I can see why OKW could be seen as aggressive army. Kubel + Sturm combo plus you can mass Volks.

Having the most basic unit of a faction cost fuel is not a good idea.

Combined tactics for usf? Phaha
the idea works great on paper but in-game it sometimes doesn't

It is when said unit was not actually the basic infantry unit (sturmpios were)

No it wouldn't have? It would have curbed spam, and it would have made getting one over any other squad an actual decision. You could still scavenge the fuel back.
Because you had no suppression platform to make up for the fact your other basic infantry unit was close combat focused you needed multiple Kubels. Especially if you were going mechanized instead of BG HQ. If you wanted any sort of map control at all you needed multiple ones and had they cost fuel it would set your first tech back a very large amount.

The Kubelwagen is hardly the "most basic unit of a faction" especially with the changes they were testing with it. The changes made it too spammable and ridiculous.

Interesting poster. First time I've seen the UKF shield. Not sure what I think of it. The OKW and USF shields were so epic... they make the UKF shield just look kinda meh.
Surprised me to see that OKW is supposed to be the most aggressive faction. I see OKW as turtle into unstoppable late-game.
They shouldve made the 3 new shields in the same graphical style as the first two,
these still look the best imo.
The 3 new ones look kinda "overweight" to me

I'm not saying it wasn't ridiculous but the change wasn't broken outside of the being able to salvage the wrecks. None of the Allied factions had an issue countering the Kubel and the more you invested in kubels the less you had to work with later in the game.
Making them cost fuel would have made Mech starts impossible as you could have no map control.
