Buff for storm officer (OKW)

If the unit gets veterancy, it should get veterancy from near by units fighting. Because the unit it self isn't supposed to be in front line fighting.

So first I want to say, I don't use him that much because he han't that much of an efffect and I am also not putting him directly into the frontline because of the insta retreat. I am also not saying to remove the insta retreat but asking for a simple vet system to buff his aura or the officer himself. I mean every command unit has a veterancy, why not this one, I don't get yor thoughts there.

The changes proposed to the Sturmofficer will not make a difference. I mean, removing the retreat thing might be a cool quality of life change, but in the end this unit will not rise from the tales of never-used

With veterancy for the OKW officer I'd be careful.

The accuracy buff has little to no effect on OKW units cause they have already high accuracy.
And the abilities are near useless/very situational, one of them doesn't event work properly.

Until relic fixes this unit don't build/bother with it. ( which means never )

Put the storm Offizier into a building and let the obers shoot and let him buff your surrounding troops. Good survivability and buff. Done it multiple times and then you have the possibility to wreck people.

I'd rather have it nerfed down a few notches, with the veterancy levels slowly making it as potent as it is now (or more)? Having one of his abilities be a vet1 unlock would also help even it out.
The unit's early unlock and relatively cheap cost means it's a no-brainer unit but also one with relatively little micromanagement requirements. Yes you bleed manpower if you keep losing it and yes surrounding units retreat when the officer dies, but an iota of micro alongside other units and sticking it into surrounding buildings (or trench) prevents both from happening. Nerfing it also means you don't get an early Ober unit accumulate impressing number of kills but having nothing to show for it, it is not like it's a non-combat unit like medics or IR halftrack.

Does the sturm officers get affected by his own aura like Ostheer Command tank? would be fun do use it with 3x 2% accuracy bulletin

Meh, i feel like it's just lazy job of not giving it a proper veterancy.

Nerf vet0 aura and make it scale with vet levels. At some vet level, consequences of officer dying could be changed to pinned/suppressed instead of retreat.
