Is Wehrmacht Competitive Right Now?

Personally, I think that the Stug is amazing and one of the view things that keep Wehr alive (with Mg42, Paks, the Sniper and maybe the Brummbär). Definetly more useful than the stupid Panther...

ostheer has several things that okw lack and offers a pretty different playstyle that i prefer actually. overall ostheer has every tool available to them, with probably the exception of a durable infantry core. grenadiers are quite strong with vet and weapon upgrades, but as others have said suffer in the late game from explosive wipes. every weapon team ostheer has is actually quite good, the mg42 has high suppression rates in addition to good dps, the mortar has an extremely high rate of fire making it really good against brits, and the pak has good penetration and TWP. the flame halftrack offers good shock value if you rush it, and the medium tank roster is pretty solid as well.
the main problem with ostheer is how much micro is required compared to some of the other factions. you need to be constantly microing all your support teams in addition to making sure your grens arent in a position to just randomly die to an explosion. but if you can manage all that ostheer has a tool for every problem in every stage of the game

I guess what you are trying to say is that ostheer is just as good as okw IF you are any good at the game and that OKW is a much more noob friendly faction than Ostheer which can punish you very harshly if you make a big mistake or you get "out skilled" by rng in some cases. Thanks for the head up!

What you have described here is a natural progression of the game stages. Compare that to playing soviets and before you get a tank all your support weapons get wiped by okw stuka xD imagine how salty would you be if that were the case

so is ostheer the problem or OKW? I still think all the problems people have with the axis stem from OKW. What you just described is an OKW unit that comes very early. Besides , since when did soviets rely on support weapons other than dshk?

Some people still play Cons and Maxims, such brave little guys no?

Brave indeed. Although you don't need stukas to deal with that
