What is this side teching you speak of?
For example: Buying Truck -> Building Med Truck -> spending amount of munitions -> Volks can buy flamnade upgrade for x amount of munitions.

And how does this impact the Luchs?

If you have to pay fuel for unlocking incendiary grenades or for shreks you either delay the Luchs or you run a high risk to loose the early game.

I personally feel fast Panzer II is much more of a problem for brits. It really forces you to go for an AEC, if you haven't it when the Panzer II shows up you are pretty fucked. One 6pdr as the most expensive AT-Gun is easily circled while british infantry do not have a non-doctrinal snare and you will never hit a fast moving luchs with piats unless your opponent fails with vehicle movement.

Why are you complaining about counters when the AEC is the counter yet you refuse to use?
Btw using the luchs is extremely risky. the t-70 stuart and aec makes short work of it . Even if it doesnt get killed you have an unit that creates no impact and you are still stuck with vg's. Its better to tech straight to the flak truck building and pump out obers and a p4. which gives the okw a much better midgame.
Not going to happen unless they buff the leigh and rakketten. The okw strength is brute force tactics on the front but terrible support in the rear.

Where did I said that I'm refusing to use it? I use it when playing brits actually. I only said I don't like to get forced to build the AEC because brits can't hold on with non/dotrinal AT snare + AT gun or bazooka like USF and Soviet can.
AEC delays Cromwell tech and excludes the possibility to build Bofors so it isn't such a bad choice as you said. T-70 comes later by a huge margin, but the T-70 is not the main problem Oorah + AT-grenade + ZIS is enough to kill it.
LeiG is terrible? Lol, I use it quite often and its one of the best indirect firing units of the game. Especially versus brit emplacements it is the best unit. I experienced this as OKW and as brit player multiple times.
Raketen isn't terrible just not as good as LeiG. You should always have one around until you get the appropriate tanks. It is pretty cheap, can garrison, cloak and retreat while having a much better penetration than a 57mm AT-Gun and most allied tanks haven't that much armor. Its only real downside is its range but with cloak you can soften this drawback.

Don't forget raketen sneak at vet 1 they can move around cloaked and can be used as spotter for LeIG, OKW got pretty good support weapon, it's just that volk blob is generally more effective and easier to use, USF is the one faction that got truly sucky support weapons.

Don't go t1. Seriously, everyone knows it's bad in 1v1. Until the soviet patch comes out don't bother with it unless you want to dual tech and get out a zis. Guards can also help if you go t1, but don't count on it. If you don't want zis go conspam and get at nades, wait for that sweet sweet t-70.

That's not mystery at all. Even 222 cars can destroy Su-76s, just because SU has veeery low armor, specially in back. SU-76 is not medium tank at all - it is light tank with med-tank gun.
So, Luchs can destroy SU, there is nothing specific in that.

Okw is very retarded faction. Very retarded. Luchs timing is not the main issue. For okw Every unit type comes a lot faster/cheaper not only luchs.
Extremely noob frendly faction. Literaly no skill required.
Ive heard that wfa release was a mistake. Not sure about anything else but it seems the case with okw.

nice Iron Emperor, as we have dealt with fucking early AEC, now it is fine that we have to deal with early luch, great reasoning here man.

Well the problem was with the AEC in the past that it was able to go blow to blow with the puma and still have more AI the then the t-70. it was kind of op as fuck.

I already know that. Thanks anyway.I suffered it, same as you.

Side teching means spending manpower and fuel to unlock a unit or ability while your main tech is slowed down because you spent fuel. Allied grenades or USF/UKF weapon racks are an example, Bofors/AEC is another one. It was discussed here in the forums to make side techs for incendiary grenades / shreks or flak upgrade for last truck.
