Tried the mod today. I really it since OKW feels more like a faction of specialist. Although I do believe it would be hard to balance that properly due to the new units. In addition to that the lack of SP´s from the beginning is difficult to handle. This could lead to even more Volks blobbing. And I´d suggest to remove the Ober-HT, I don´t see a reason for that. In connection with the tank hunters this is a crazy tank-death-kiting-tool. But thanks for the effort I enjoyed it.

Tested, makes OKW OP af

I kid. I have no idea what to say tbh because I've only played a few games and am bad at analyzing inter-faction design.

It's the first version, some issue are to be expected. In particular I haven't touched the 5 rank veterancy yet.

I like it, but only mech hq having 4 units, while flak and bhq have 3 is strange. I also think that having JP4 and Panther in same building is really strange.

Invissed a post, if you're going to talk about the developers please apply common decency, they aren't a special breed that need constant verbal abuse in order to thrive.

I never thought Relic would be dumb enough to read the containment thread.

OKW is batshit OP now while also being far less interesting to play. Their unique teching structure has been neutered, and killing a truck is a slap on the wrist now because they can call a new one in for cheap rather than having to wait. Now, OKW has no reason not to build trucks in forward positions for maximum benefit. They have the early game infantry power to defend it with even MORE cost effective sturmpios and OP volksgrenadiers. They get their PzIV even faster than Ostheer, even if you removed their starting fuel bonus. They can get a Puma around the time your opponent is thinking about a light vehicle, alongside panzerschrecks.

So good job guys. Your ideas suck. If it ever makes it into automatch I'm done with the game.

Pretty much my feelings. I may not quit but definitely have a break. You say that p4 is faster. You are right. Now look how much faster okw panther is than ost one... It is just pure nonsense.
