At the very least it should lose the trait that all nearby squads retreat when the officer is killed. The aura buff is nowhere near strong enough to justify this.

As i said i would prefer it to be good but not obersoldaten on crack good except if the squad is super small, then if its a pure support squad of 3 model it need to be super cheap'around 240mp and 4-5pop and not be insta wiped by a lucky mortar shell or nobody will use it.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

The aura buffs are not that great for the risk of having mass retreats but buffing this unit or its aura will just lead to a big blob of death.

major is a retreat point and i honestly never ever saw a major going to the front in pvp

Sturmofficer shouldn´t be in the game in the first place. All it does is promote stupid blobbing. If I had any say in this I would remove it and replace it with something else.

Major is purely support unit, its 3 man squad and is wiped by a lucky mortar shell.
Its usable.

Major is also free.

If your sturmofficer is in place, where opposing infantry can just focus him down, then you've failed with positioning.
It should never be anywhere close to be in range of opposing small arms, only exception is the time he uses abilities, at all other time he should be slightly behind.
And the buff is powerful enough to justify retreat on kill.
Its ultimate infantry blob gimmick, permanent and always on.
With 2 extra squads, you have over 20% extra dps, with 3, over 30%.

Which is not the point.
The point is, it works in its role of non combat support.

But if SO was to ever lose the aura and mass retreat disadvantage, it should not be any more durable, no reason for it. Wehr officer work fine as purely supportive unit that isn't doing murdering itself.

This is thread about Sturmofficer. My advice for anyone who want to learn about Wer artillery officer is to load that game and test him in game. He he will see that he can do much more than support other units.
Alternatively one can ask for help on how to use the artillery officer in an appropriate thread/section, where I will be happy to provide any stats needed.

Regarding the topic, what about if the sturm officer loses its aura buffs and the mass retreat drawback but still keeps its abilities, i think then more people would use it.
