EVEN SIUKING THINKS NEW OKW IS OP!?!?
Oh of course. Fanboys always think someone else is biased.
Last patch OKW and Ostheer were clearly underperforming especially vs OP british, but hey, fanbois gonna say they are fine.

It's not really a ''new'' OKW. It's old OKW with slightly worse vet and better, well, everything else. Only the Kubel has changed significantly.
I'd rather have balanced the ''old'' OKW rather than remove all of the faction's weaknesses and turn them into a constantly blobbing, tank-rushing PITA of a faction. But maybe that's just me.

I prefer the pre-patch OKW, because it was ok to play with and against and there wasn't that much exaggerated whining on this board.

You should know that there are many players in coh2 that dont favour any side or faction. That is becouse they find all of them interesting, like me, or need it to compete in tournaments that need using both sides to win. Also in competitive play it is needed to adapt to changes of the game becouse in some tournament okw may be better than ostheer and in other its the other way round so players who can play only one of axis factions are disadvantaged. It also happens that some factions counter other ones in rock, scissors, paper pattern, then ability to counterpick faction is super usefull. That basically means all top players play all 5 factions, maybe its possible to exclude one allied faction but thats all.
I know its completely different in sc and sc2 where players tend to choose one faction based on the playstyle preference and play this one in all their matches. It is possible becouse there are mirrors in sc. In my opinion the no mirror system is better but maybe its just me.

There have only been 2 ever players that played random in the sc2 pro scene, and eventually they switched to a main because it just wasn't possible for them to compete :/.

I'm not sure, but wasn't Nerchio the guy who played Zerg and Terran (can't remember which mirror match he play as the other faction)

Exaggerated whining or not, it is clearly obvious that okw is now strongest faction in all modes.
Whilest many will have to learn to adapt, the flip side is okw players are also finding which are strongest builds and what can be abused.
The notion that things are not so bad is just utter bs and people on this site defending okw are just completely ignorant, biased or taking the piss.

It is exaggerated. Schrecks have been on Volks since ever and OKW was regarded as one of the weakest factions in 1v1 before the patch. And out of all things people are complaining about they choose the freaking Schreck on Volks argument, disregarding the stuff that has actually changed. You are complaining about symptoms, not the reasons. Make the Shreck upgrade cost 150 munitions then, go on.

Its important to acknowledge that volks literally received 20% damage increaes this patch. Before, having shrecks on them made them significantly more vulnerable to infantry, now they can brawl with infantry even with shrecks on way easier especially since they hit veterancy quickly due to the shrecks hitting vehicles.
Additionally, the increased resources of the OKW makes it so more shreck volks can be fielded. There is a LARGE difference between 2-3 volks squads with shrecks and a rocketen vs 5-6 volks squads with shrecks and a rocketen. The timing window and magnitude of all allied armor is decreased exponentially this patch. Even pershing has to be scared of the volks.

Volks are over performing by a significant margin...An US rifle blob will beat the hell out of an OKW Volks blob for cost, simply because of the possibility to get BARs and lack of blob control for OKW. If we nerfed Volks this would have to be coupled with a Rifle nerf.
