OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback

I read it and i just want to say - you are a heretic!


Acually this ability gives you option to call off-map artillery strike. It also buffs Tiger accuracy so that's also good. For me, it's a usefull ability and it's definitely not a "key" ability for EliteArmor which make that doctrine amazing in any form to restrict it only there.

What if they just lock the Command Panther, Tiger and Obersoldanten behind 2 setup trucks. (Im still hoping we keep the IRstgs). Locking Heavy tanks behind T3 or major takes away most advantages of the Pershing, Command Panther and Tiger (i think those are in an ok spot right now).

Skipping tech is the whole problem. It punishes the player who techs.

No one will disagree on that.
But i think the problem is less relevant for Wehrmacht because you only have access to Puma in 1 commander, you need tanks to survive while OKW players can get access to 3 strong units in Mechanized HQ. IMO its definitely a faction design problem.

I dont know if a OKW rework is possible but if so Battlegroup HQ needs to be more attractive and Mechanized less attractive. OKW rework should also include some changes to the commanders.
Commando Panther should be moved to a 2nd tier commander for example.
It was annoying as hell to see Mobile defense in every game last year but we see "Specops" in 7/10 high rank 1vs1 and that sucks hard too.

I've got a thread up on making Battlegroup attractive: the Jagdpanzer one.

As for Grand Offensive, I think locking it behind the SPHQ is enough. A Tiger can be worth it relative to a Panther or a Panzer IV on raw cost.

It's definitely not worth teching another truck for.

A tiger is just too good with only 2 trucks on OKW hands, that the point. Not that I'm saying it is fine with 3 trucks but there is a serious balance issue with giving a Tiger to OKW. It doesn't fit in the faction tech design.

I don't agree. 640 MP 230 MP for a Tiger vs the Panther and OKW P4 is a meaningful decision.

Feedback for v5.0 Changes.

IR STG could use something extra to make them worth upgrading over an LMG. I think commando-level camo would be a great addition, wouldn't need any ambush bonuses, but something to help close the distance would go a long way.

What have people experienced with the timing of the Tiger in its current form? Would you even bother with a P4 when you could have a tiger out in 3 or 4 mins after.

PFs are still too strong with double schrecks. 2 vet 2 squads will reliably send to Hell any LV including T-70 or Stuart. 3 squads will do the same with MV...

They are supposed to be as effective as you stated. No OPness at all. 2xPF with AT is both more expensive and also dedicated against armour.
I know its strange but at least PF are doing what they have been meant to.
