OKW is weak after winter balance

Jump back to quoted post29 Jan 2018, 17:15 PMHowie

So Far, all of my level are up to 16 except to OKW.

This faction is to weak to play. You have to be more caution and more skill to against the same level opponents.

I am considering to quit this faction. Never. Ever.
by the way, it is suck that no fuel or ammo cap.

Hey there Howie, what about the faction are you having trouble with?

Perhaps I can help address your current challenges.

You can't help

You can't change anything

Some maps are designed for allies. Can't play.

All you have to know is the balance designer is not a formal Employee.

Ive went from playing allies 90% of the time (pre patch) to playing Germans 90% of the time and im winning 90% of the time.

Dont really see any issue besides minor ones (perhaps okw should get caches now,

Allies were in a generally worse spot before the update, coh has never been this good imo

In general my tip for you is playing the allies and learn their weaknesses that way

1vs1:

Last Sunday: 4 from 5 games OKW won

One week before: Vonasten won with okw vs Luvnest as well

So in 1vs1 OKW is fine.
--> Go medic and bring the flakhft!


1vs1-4vs4:

OKW is good in forgiving! If you lose 2 squad as wehrmacht you are are RIP.OKW does not matter^^

I think this needs reflecting on more, whilst there is still much that could be changed and a few things that should be changed (last vestiges of cheese, ai bugs) overall the patch has removed lots of really annoying stuff and levelled the field in many areas. IMO mostly the stuff that is frustrating is stuff that was always a bit annoying and may only be a problem now because in the past there was some op cheese that could eclipse it. I feel that besides some bug fixing a final gentle tweak pass patch would put it in a state about as good as it’s going to get. I caveat this with the fact I am a noob

Hi Howie,

I recommend you to post a replay, when you've lost a game as OKW here.

I am sure, that here are many Strategists waiting here like vultures just to review your game and help you

Your text..

Here is the replay

• you didn't use the OKW flak half track in your first game. This unit invaluable for early game control and destroying allied aircraft late game. Med bases also synergize extremly well with an OST partner.
  
• Your early mid game build in the second game was actually great - late game transition awful though.
  
• Don't build IR halftracks, they are a waste of pop cap (unless you're dominating).
  
• Don't build an MG early if you have a halftrack - they are basically the same thing. Ifyou lose the halftrack, by all means get an MG.
  
• Use ISG smoke to shutdown MGs. In your second game you couldve taken the right side so many times with smoking the building then pushing in.
  
• Build obers, they are cheap as fuck now and shit kick allied infantry. Your volks will eventually bleed out, so replace them with units that can carry you late game.
  
• Select your doctrines earlier,the OKW stock army isn't really enough right now.
  
• Don't build P4s if you already have a bunch of anti infantry (4 volks, mg + FHT) get a panther or JP4 to round out your AT.

Fuc game balance

Now I back to Lv. 16

Retarded game balance and matchmaking

• At 17 Minutes, you had enough for a medium tank. Build one.
  
• I get you were waiting for command panther, but you had enough to have two tanks out by the time you were using that thing alot
  
  

• Played well, but would've avoided 4 volks and given map control put down an earlier schwer and got double ober out
  
• Still worked out regardless.
  

• Played well, actually built your tanks when needed and used fuel.
  
• Just remember to transition to obers in the late game.
