about okw medikit

Unit preservation is a vital part of Company of Heroes, and that extends to unit healing.

Every army needs access to adequate healing.

Then why do the soviets have no healing beyond base HQ?
Okw has medkits and medbase
Ost has sdkfz 251 (now heals) medkits and bunkers
Ukf has cp medics and medic tommies
Usf has ambu and ambu medics...

Since you're bringing in Doctrine abilities, Soviets have field healing in Urban Defence Tactics.

Nope... none of those are doctrinal

You said UKF Medics, those are doctrine only. Stock UKF only has the Section upgrade.

Ever heard of spios med crates?
They are vet0 now for some time.
Vet4 onwards Hitlerium infusion is being redistributed to volks anyway and they regenerate automatically.

no reason OKW should get the earliest healing without any additional investment

As for Soviets, they are kind of meant to struggle with healing, to compensate for their extended field presence provided by all their squads having a high amount of models.

OKW easily has the most expensive medics of all factions (370mp and 55 fuel) and they are stuck behind non-lineair tech too (and in the less popular pick even). Also, very early game munitions investments are very important (one nade or one snare, or lack of munitions for one, can have a huge impact).

Imo it's fine that OKW can choose to put down med crates very early, as it significantly sets them back in using abilities and getting weapon upgrades.

It set them back so far that they still usually upgrade their first STG44 before any other faction. Being able to heal from minute 2 ou 3 up to 9 squads is a major bonus in term of field presence at this particular moment.
The question is not to keep it or remove it, but if is it balance for OKW to get them so early in the game. Only UKF access to their healing as fast and it is as per faction design.

let's do some math, at the earliest u can get stg by paying 15 + 25 - 10 from the starting fuel

usf and ukf can pay 15 fuel instantly to get them so they are already faster but obv u gonna cry saying "noooo they don't get tech", then ok

ukf + tier 1 = 15 + 30 - 20 form the starting fuel

usf + tier 1 = 15 + 35 - 20 from starting fuel

again are they the earliest ?

Sometimes it feels like comprehending what a side cost is would literally split your skull open and kill you instantly by making your brain implode on itself.

What your trying to say here makes no sense.

> people claim stg comes eralier than other upgrade

>i literally post the cost and we can see they come earlier or at the same tiem at max
