These trucks are too easy to hide, yet too lucrative to not hunt down and destroy.
They also are not telegraphed by either Commander choice or onfield presence.

My suggestion is this:

-Make Opels blip on the minimap with a "$" sign or some visual indicator everytime they generate output.

This will make it possible for Sov players to know that he is now up against Opel Commander (which he otherwise may not know until Tigers start rolling out), and take action against it (which is difficult enough as it is, owing to their extreme backline position).

The Ost player still has the advantage of the Opels being in extreme backline, and he can freely re-locate the Opels periodically to confuse the enemies dispatched forces as to their actual location (perhaps even strategically to form an ambush).

sounds like a solid idea, perhaps also make them only able to setup in the capping zone or nearby, ive come across a few that like to hide in trees screwing with true sight.

Could also use a hp reduction.

Currently too resistant to small arms fire.

You can always see it when there's an opel truck on the map, the sector in which it is in has big white lines around it, easily visible

And in a dynamic 1v1 you easily get a chance at killing the enemy´s truck, especially if he calls it in too early. Most hiding spots are obvious, just scout there with a Conscript or light tank and it´s dead in 5 seconds. I don´t see the problem with trucks in 1v1, they are riskier than a OP, yet they give a sligthly bigger bonus. And even in a high level team game the game is often so dynamic you easily get a chance at killing them.

Edit: oh, and it can be easily killed by small arms fire, just try it

Thanks for the "white line" tip!

Hadn't known that.

Opel trucks are unarmed and unarmored so why not make them able to be captured by infantry? Let them come with a driver and get decrewed via small arms fire. A squad can then steal it at the cost of 1-2 men.
